poundage in the past.
Mcfarland and Britton have met
twice previously. One bout was in
Memphis in 1911, and the decision
was a draw, though Mcfarland had
a shade the advantage. The second
go was pulled off at Madison Square
Garden in New York several months
ago, and Mcfarland was the victor
on points.
There is bitter rivalry between the
two Irishmen, one coming from Chi
cago's North Side and the other from
the stockyards district. Britton has
been away from Chicago for some
time, but still is loyal to the district
over the river.
On the form they have exhibited in
their battles against each other, and
also against other men of the light
weigh division, Mcfarland is the bet
ter of the two men and should again
defeat Britton His recent feat of
decisively whipping Harlem Tommy
Murphy in ten rounds puts him in the
forefront of the lightweight class.
There will be the usual war of
words, of course, preceding the meet
ing, but Mcfarland should turn loose
the best oratory with his mitts.
While the proposition of Gustavus
T. Kirby, president of the. A. u,
that under certain conditions anna
teurs and professionals shall be al
lowed to compete against each other,
will not be adopted at the present
time, it shows that at least one Off
cial in the governing body of athletes
is responsive to public clamor.
As was to be expected, Secretary
James E. Sullivan land other officials
of the A. A U. are horror stricken
as Kirby's proposal, and treat it as an
assault on the amateurs that would
eventually result in death of athletics.
More weight would be given to
Kirby's plans if some other man was
making them. Gus, however, is

ly, superintendent of the water
works, and he rushed to the plant
to see if he could locate the trouble.
He saw that everything that was
necessary to do in order to force the
highest pressure to the scene of the
fire had been done and in a moment
knew that the big main that sup
plies the center of town with high
pressure for fires was blocked at
some point. He Immediately rushed
to the cut off in Sessions street and
found that it had been shut off. He
opened it and felt that everything
was then alright but another tele-
phone message brought him the in
formation that there was still no
water. Without waiting to go all
over town and hunt up the trouble
he shut the valve in sessions street
again and opened the one beyond the
plant that controls the supply from
the north end of Kennesaw Avenue
and the water had to make the
long trip around the Mcneil Mrable
company through a small six inch
main to the fire. BY that time the
house was solid mass of flames and
this weak pressure was totally in
adequate
The water board has made an in
yestigation of the trouble and their
statement is published in full in
this paper. Mayor Black has offer
ed a reward of $4,000 for evidence
sufficient to convict the party who
shut off the main and it is hoped
that he will be found.

the yard are killed, which will add
greatly to the loss.

MIR. NORTHCUTT'S BEAUTIFUL
RESIDENCE BURNED TO GROUND
Available Until House Was Solid Mass
of Flames

Nothing that has happened in
Marietta in a long time has created
such profound CONSERVATION as the
failure of the water supply Monday
morning when the residence of MI
r. H. Northcutt, on Atlanta street,
burned. The fire started in the at
tic and was discovered about two
thirty o'clock. The alarm was turn
ed in and the hose wagon was on the
scene quickly and stretched two lines
of fire hose, but there was not a drop
of water to be had. The chemical
was turned on and the fifty gallons
of water from that source was quick
ly exhausted, but even with that
the small blaze had been reduced to
a great extent. When the chemical
became exhausted and there was no
water nothing could be done to
check the progress of the flames and
everybody turned in to remove the
furnishings.
1t was fully forty-fve minutes be-
fore any water was available and
then the stream was so weak that
it was hardly worth while. In the
meantime the fire had gained such
Roadway that it was beyond control.
Mr.. Northcutt carried only $500
insurance on the house and S 900
on his HOUSEHOLD furnishings. Mr..
Ralph Northcutt carried $500 on his
household goods and practically ev-
erything was lost Mr.. R. II. North
cutt estimates his loss at about
$1,000 and Mr.. Ralph Northcutt
places his at 5000.
1t was pitiful sight to see about
TWO hundred people standing by
with willing hearts and ready hands
but no water, while the fine resi-
dence went up in smoke. Every
body was rushing around trying to
locate the cause of no water and ev-
cry telephone message to the en-
9ineer at the waterworks plant only
brought the information that the
pressure had reached the point of
Sailing the pump and that was the
best that could be done.

KENNESAW PAPER CO.
SOLD LAST THURSDAY
Mr.. c, H. Page, of Philadelphia
Bought Light Plant and
WaterWorks.

The property of the Kennesaw Paper
Company was sold at public outcry
last Thursday and was bid in by
Mr.. c. H. Page, of Philadelphia and
Mr.. J. N. Goddard.
The light plant brought $4,000
and the waterworks, exclusive of
the independent main from the
standpipe to the paper mill brought
$4,000. Both these plants went to
Mr.. Page, who also bought the old
lot for $1,710.
The paper mill proper brought
$4,000 from Mr.. Goddard who also
purchased the two houses belonging
to the company and $50 acres of
land paying $17.20 per acre for
the latter
The pumping plant, standpipe and
line from the stMdpipe to the mill
were included in the $4,000 paid
for the mill and is necessarily a
part of the paper manufacturing
plant.
1t is the intention of Mr. Page
to apply for a franchise for supply
ing Marietta with gas, using the
distributing mains of the old water
works system and avoiding the eX-
pense, annoyance and delay of put
ting in new mains. He says that this
plan can be carried out at a mini
mum of disturbance to the citizens
and tearing up of streets incident
to laying new mains for gas.
Mr.. Page seemed surprised that
Marietta was not already supplied
with gas and said that he would
provide a plant second to none in the
country. He has had experience in
developing gas plants throughout
the Eastern part of the United
States and says it may be confident
ly expected that he will provide
Marietta with first class gas ser

OF WATER BOARD
REGARDING APPARENT SHORTAGE
Big Main From Pumping Station Had Been
Closed at Three Points on Route to Fire
By Some Unknown Party

corner of Cherokee and Lawrence
streets was closed; the valve at the
corner of Church street and Kenne.
saw avenue was also closed; the
/ valve at the corner of Sessions and
Campbell Streets was closed at day
light, but Supt. Early had opened
this hiEs self, before the inspection
by the committee.
No one connected with the water
department ever closes or opens
these valves except Supt. Early him
self, or some employee whom he
takes with him and who works I'M
der his direction. The Superinten-
dent reports that the valve at the
corner of Cherokee and Lawrence
streets has not been closed or touch
ed, so far as he knew, since the
white way was installed in May
, 1912. About four weeks ago, When
| Superintendent Early was trying to
find a leak in the mains, he shut
off the two valves at the corner of
Church and Kennesaw and at the
corner of Sessions and Campbell
streets for several hours, but later
/ turned them on himself, and report
ed same to the Chairman None of
the valves in any of the mains have
ever been shut off for any purpose,
either by order of the Superinten-
dent, or to his knowledge in four
weeks The conditions at the sta
tion when the alarm went in, were
ideal for fighting fire. The test
made by the committee from the
Board Monday morning, when they
visited the plant, show that in less
than three minutes IS pounds OF
pressure could be applied direct to
the mains by the steam pump.
These being the facts, the Board
Of Lights and Waterworks is reluc-
family forced to the conclusion that
some party or parties unknown, had
deliberately planned to cut the city
of Marietta off from fire protection
by closing the three valves above
mentioned. The party doing this
was sufficiently acquainted with the
system to locate the valves and know
just which ones to turn off without

nestle supply of water and at the
same time preventing sufficient
supply with which to fight fire. The
condition of the valves and the
, ground around them show con-
clusively that they had been closed
/ for at least a week and probably
, longerN and that the sole supply of
water for the consumers south of
the valves which were closed, in
the east, south and west sides Of the
city, was furnished through the sim
gle six inch main coming down Ken
/ ncsaw avenue, and that a fire any
time within the last week or two at
least, would have found an inadi-

It's as Much Nature for
an Apple to Rot as
to Ripen.

But when we meet, as we some
times do, men and women whose
only interest appears to be in
what they eat and drink and in
what they put on, one can not help
noticing how much they resemble
four-footed creatures whose wants
are all satisfied if only their stom-
achs are filled and they have on
sufficient fur or wool to keep them
warm and nest or a kennel SO
compact as to keep out the snow
and rain, or if, like such creatures
as peacocks, they have plumage
sufficiently alluring to win the at
tention of the other sex.
The only object in writing in
this way is to remind us all where
it is that our danger lies.
We all start out in life with
something besides the stuff that
our bodies are made of, and Of
that something we can make more
and more or less and less.
It will become less and less I'M
less we take pains with it.
We read in scientific books
great deal about development, and
one might infer that our natural
tendency is to become finer and
finer, less and less animal and
more and more human. Unfortu-
nately for us, development works
both ways; it works up and it also
works down.
1t is just as much in the order of
nature for an apple to rot as it is
for it to ripen, to grow bad as for
1t to become more luscious. And
things become bad of themselves
without having to have any atten-
ton given to them, but in order to
become better a good deal of at
tention has to be given.
It is the same with a man as
with an apple, or with anything
else that has possibilities.
This something within our flesh
that we call our humanness has

nifying power may be applied in
examining them.
Natural history, biology and
geology all gain something from
this new method of investigate
Hitherto it has been necessary in
examining the interior of many
organisms under the microscope
to destroy them by cutting them
into slices thin enough to be pen
etrated by ordinary light.
In this way 1t is impossible to
see them just as they are in ma
ture, Important parts are de-
stroyed in the process OF dissec-
ton, and the true relations of one

Fossil Animals Sealed
UP in Rocks Are
Exposed. \

The internal structure Of little
animals that persisted millions Of
years ago and were sealed up in
the rocks, preserved like the Pha-
raohs in their mummy rolls, is
thrown open to the curious eyes
of the naturalist. He can put
aside his miniature saws, he no
longer needs to cut his specimens
into films, for now he en- see
them as they are, inside and out
side.
No more is required to show
how immensely important to sci
ence this new branch OF radiogra-
ply may become. And a better
example could not be found of the
spirit in which discovery and in

The Wonders of X=Ray Photography
Photographs Now Reveal the Hidden Organs of Creatures Whose
Entire Bodies Are as Minute as Pnheads ;,

TINE great value Of radiogra-
ply, or X-ray photography,
consists in the fact that 1t
enables us to see the inside of
things. 1t virtually realizes the
old paradox of seeing through a
stone wall" There is perhaps,
no achievement of man that
smacks more of magic than this.
We can look at our own bones
and hearts and lungs and watch
our blood coursing through the
veins and arteries Of the living
body.
l have recently described the
Improvements by means of which
instantaneous photographs are
now made of the internal organs
and motion pictures are produced
which show them in action as if
the bodies of men had suddenly
become transparent. But there is
another thing, hardly less surpris-
ing, to be added Photography is
now being applied to microscopic
objects.
NJ Pierre CODY of Grasse, in
France, has invented an apparat-
us by which magnified N-ray
photographs Of the interior of
minute objects, and OF the inter
nal microscopic parts of larger
objects, can be obtained. AS NJ.

1t is not surprising that counsel
FOR the defense in the Frank case
in Atlanta seized upon the state
ment of Judge Roam, TO the effect
that the evidence hadn't con-
WINGED him as to the guilt or in
nocence Of the defendant, in ap-
pealing to the Supreme Court for
a now trial. To say the least,
Judge Roan's statement was an
unusual one for trial judge to
make. Whether the Supreme
Court will consider it Of impor-
lance in deciding the question as
TO whether a new trial should be
granted remains to be seen. The
prosecution, OF course, will say
that IL was the jury's business TO
decide whether or not the ac-
Cused was guilty, and that IL
didn't make any difference wheth-
or the Judge was or was not con-
WINGED Of his guilt The already
great interest in the question as
to what the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the famous case
viii be is increased because Of
the judges remark.
