LARGE WHOLESALE WAREHOUSE.

william ID. Mullen Co. Buys the Property
at the Northwest Corner of Fifth and
French Streets.
The William ID. Mullen Co., whole
sale grocers, of Nos. 101 and 103 East
Third street, have purchased from
Herbert White the property at the
northwest corner Of Fifth and French
street, with the Intention of erecting
thereon early next year large whole
sale grocery warehouse especially
adapted for the company's business.
The deal was negotiated by Charles
W. Gouding and the consideration was
about 1000. Last February Mr.. White
purchased the property from the David
son estate. Ii IL now and has been for
sometime blacksmith and wheelwright
shop, but the buildings are very old
and only one story in height and of
very little value. The area of the
property IS 50x75 feet.
When William d. Mullen, president Ut
the grocery company. was seen this
morning he said no definite arrange
ments had yet been made for putting
up new building, but it is the inten.
tion of the company to do so and the
matter will be taken up about the tirst
of the year. The company has been al
its present location, on Third street,
for about three years and during that
time its business has experienced such
a remarkable growth that the present
quarters are inadequate. Another
reason for desiring change is the fac
that Third street between King anc
French is becoming more congested al
the time and the company has very little
room for loading and unloading it:

WHERE CENTURY WILL FIRsTDAWN

Pearson's Magazine
Where will the Twentieth Century
first dawn? If the change of the GEN.
turtles took place at either Of the equi-
noxes--Maroh 22d or September 22d-
| then, since on those days the earth's
axis is at right angles to the plane Of
the orbit, and there is equal day and
night all over the world, the matter
would be very easily decided. The
dawn line would coincide with the
date-line, ard from pole to pole the
first sun of the new century would rise
| at the same moment
But. unfortunately, this is not so.
aud the consequence is that the line OF
dawn, as it sweeps round the earth,
| first t1uches the date-li line to the south
of the equator, and then gradually
creeps up this line till it leaves it far
| to the north. So the first sun of the
Twentieth Century will rise on the
| places along or near the date-line in
| the order of their. position, from the
south upwards.
Now there is no land along this line
from the Antarctic Circle to Antipodes
Island, hence this tiny spot of earth
will first see the Twentieth Century
dawn. A few minutes later Bounty
Island will see it. Then it will sweep
along the northeast coast of North
Island, New Zealand; then over Vanua
Levi in the Fiji Islands. Next it will
shine on the scattered coral isleta OF
Ellice group, and after travelling about
nine degrees more to the north the
light-tide will touch the crossing of the
dawn-line and date liEe at 6 O'Clock.
Two hours and five minutes will have
to pass before it reaches the banks OF
the Yarra. In six hours and 25 min tes
it will gild the temples and palaces OF
Calcutta In nine bours and 30 min
utes it will be flowing over Lions
Head, and down the rugged sides Of
Table Mountain. In II hours and %
minutes it will have crossed Mont.
martre and touched the base of Eiffel
Tower in Paris. Five minutes later il
will have passed the cross of st. Paul's
and be flowing up Fleet street. In II
hours and 20 minutes from the time il
crossed the dawn-line it will be flowing
round the feet OF the Statue of Liberty,
and in three hours more it will have
reached the Golden Gate. Thence II
will cross stretch Of ocean unbroker
by rock or islet back to the dawn-line,
and so will be accomplished the even
ing and morning Of the first day of the
Twentieth Century.
