Hundred Dollars Yesterday, and
This Amount in Sieht-Work on
Plant to Begin at Once.

Another development yesterday in
connection with the es ablishment Of
a large creosoting plaut in this city
by the Brunswick Creosotlng coinpa-
ny, came in the nature of an ar
nouncement that the company had de-
cided to purchase the Mccullough
wharf property, the site selected +ur
the new plant, instead Of leasing t,
and the price to be paid to the own
ers, the Downing Company, is $4,000.
The decision to purchase this val
liable wharf property was made yes
terday morning when G. Lee Cook,
the moving spirit in the new industry,
communicated with his Louisvillt as
sociates, later in the day receiving
advices from them to purchase the
property.
When these gentlemen left Bruins
wick some weeks ago for Louisville,
after having looked into the probabil-
ity of erecting the plant here, they
secured an option on this wharf pro-
perty, either for it's lease for num-
Der of years or for its outright pur-
chase. When Mr.. Cook left Louis
vile early in the present week, it had
not been decided definitely whether
or not his proposition would be ac-
cepted by the people of Brunswick,
but after the meeting at the Ogle-
thorpe Tuesday night. when Bruins
wick's business men responded so
literally in their subscriptions for
stock, Mr.. Cook Immediately wired
his other associates, asking them
whether they thought best to least
the property or to purchase it, and
yesterday morning he received a tela-
gram the Kentucky people authoriz-
ing him to purchase the property,
which means that within the course
of few days this big deal will be
consummated
The property in question, located
just north of the A., B. e. A. terH1i-
nails, and used at present by the AMIR
ican Tie and Timber company, is CON
sidered among the best available
wharf property in Brunswick.

WOULD HAVE SUNDAYS DULL
British Member OF Parliament Sees
: Mistake in Nonobservance OF
the Sabbath.

"I think Sunday ought to remain
what some people call dull" said J..
Ramsay Macdonald, M. P, speaking
at Leicester. He appealed to religious
institutions to see that Sunday is not
secularized. People talked a lot OF
nonsense about the Scottish Sabbath
and did not know what they were
talking about. If they were only
trained to appreciate the Scottish Sab
bath-it would take some amount OF
training-they swould not be sorry II
they had it.
All the talk about turning Sunday
into a day of recreation was humbug
and dangerous. In trying to do II
they were beginning at the wrong end
of the stick. They should not sacri'
flee the blessings they had got.
He looked forward to the time when
everybody would have sufficient time
for recreation during the secular DAYS
of the week. An enlightened demo
cracy should value a day of spirltua
rest SO much that their hands woule
be lifted up against any maj or move
ment that desired to secularize thf

Quoted by himself. This was just
after the Muzafferpur outrage, when
two English ladies were killed by the
explosion Of a bomb, and in the ar

NEW FACTS ABOUT PolsoNs
certain Kinds Are Found to Be ore
Deadly When Diluted with
Water.

The more you dilute certain poisons
with water the more deadly they be-
come. This remarkable fact has been
recently demonstrated by Or. +. houx'
the wellknown French scientist, De-
fore the Academy Of Science at parls'
says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The poisons used in the tests were
principally of the bacterial variety
but there seems to be no reason 10
believe that the proposition Is not
equally true Of other poisons.
Some of the bacterial poisons ex'
perimented with became doubly virlle
when diluted with 100 times their vol
ume of distilled water. When less wa
ter was used the poisons proved e 8
harmful, and when they were diluted
to an even greater extent their poison
GUS action increased. The conclusion
was compelled that the greater the d.
luton the more dangerous the poisons
became, and the only explanation Of
fered was that the resistance OF the
blood stream was diminished by the
water.
This is not the only paradox con
nected with the action Of poison thai
has come under investigation at the
hands of scientists recently. Inc
venom Of the cobra, the most danger
GUS Of all Indian serpents, has always
proved more or less Of a mystery, IL
view of the fact that II the poison
glands are cut out Of the ~newly-klllee
snake of this species, their contents
may be swallowed with impunity by
healthy human being, the poison beint
digested in a perfectly natural way
while if the person swallowing ths
venom happens to have any sore place
in his mouth at the time his death Il
almost instantaneous.
Just why cobra venom can be read
lily digested, but brings almost instan
death when the virus gets directly Int
the blood stream is one OF the prob
lens now being investigated by sclen
fists.

Electricity and Trees.

Prof. H. w. Spang has been investi-
eating the decay and death Of many
noble shade trees In Brooklyn, N. ~
and has discovered that electricity es-
Gaping from trolley and other wires
and entering the earth has killed the
roots Of scores Of trees. Yes-this is
a curious condition when It is remem-
bered that in some places gardeners
electrify the soil to stimulate growth.
In some cases in Brooklyn, according
to Mr.. Spang, trees have been killed
by overhead wires running among
their branches, Yet 1t is true that IN
many other places such wires Dc, not
appear to have done any harm. The
explanation? Oh, 1t may be that In
Brooklyn the quantity of electricity
reaching the trees is too great and
thus instead Of being stimulated the
trees are injured. It Is q matter which
must vary in localities, you know

Hero Of War Of 1912,

One hundred years ago Capt. David
Porter, one of the naval heroes of the
War of 1912, was given a great pop

phia. Ten days previously Captain
Porter had reached New York after
a long and hazardous voyage from
Valparaiso, where on March Is, he
had commanded the frigate Essex in
her gallant, but unsuccessful fight
against the British ships Phoebe and
Cherub. Upon their arrival in New
York, the surviving officers and mem
bers Of the crew Of the Essex were
given an enthusiastic welcome. From
New York Captain Porter proceeded
to Philadelphia, where another pop
ular ovation awaited him. On his ar
rival in the suburbs of the city the
horses were taken from his carriage
