Council Quickly Decided TO Buy the
Diclxey Property.

DiclSey Property.
Atlanta, May 31.-At a special meeting
OF the City Council this afternoon a reso-
luton was adopted closing up a deal for
the site known as the Dickey property. to
he used for the location of the new fed
eral prison 1t Is to cost the city $4,000
and the Southern Railway is to pay $685.,
600. the tract consisting of 800 acres.
Mayor Woodward laid all the CORE
spondence between himself and Attorney
General Grlggs before the Council. and
several interesting things were disclosed.
IL developed that another tract had been
offered 10 the city free not counting the
Central Railroad tract. and the Mayor had
written the Attorney General recommend
ing that the acceptance of this tract would
be greatly in the city's interest The At
torney General, however, turned the offer
down cold. saying that he thought the
city could we'll afford to pay $4,000 TO get
the site that The government wanted. He
would not take this site as gift he wrote
the Mayor.
He also refused to reopen the matter TO
consider the amended proposition of the
Central Railroad Company, which was an
offer to pay the expenses of running wa
ter mains to dts property near the bar
racks, besides giving the grounds free TO
the government.
The matter went through Council as if
1t had been well creased when 1t became
evident, from this correspondence, that At
torney General Griggs was not going to
stand any dilly-dallying or juggling over
sites.
The prison will have fifty or hundred
political jobs trailing in it's wake, as well
as furnishing many mouths to feed from
local markets, and the city fathers did
not want to take any chances on losing
it, when they were made to realize that
there had to be a showdown.

PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights of London none is more interesting than it's pi- geons, which bring suggestion of oldWorld stateliness into the turmoil of the city. There is a particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon- don, and they are to be found all over the city. A curious fact observed is that the birds on the east side of huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life, for everybody pets them. The judges of the law courts feed the pigeons, not scraps, but grain and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk, while the keeper of coffee house re1igiously brings bits of broken bread for his featheted friends.
 One of the prettiest sights is to see the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half dozen read CTS who make practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends, even when they appear without food The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate, for rarely is there | ono who will mt ceattar a handful Of grain from the horses nosebaga

According to Dr. Friedlander of Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Gal vanization produces rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting disap pears, and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, however, does excellent service even if it be not applied until after some time has elapsed, for it re- moves the pain and also quickly re- duces the swelling. The supposition is that the poison which the insect has infected through the skin, is neutral ized and rendered innocuous by the current. Dr. Friedlander has repeat edly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps, and has invariably found them successful. He naturally believes that similar result would be obtained in the cases of persons stung by other insects.
