W SpOuSlDS waters extend
aEong the Coast from St. Marks
down to Cedar Keys, which latter
place is nearer to our city than it is
to Key West, making our distance
from the whole waters much shorter
than that of the above place. The
sponges, after being taken, have to
be soaked in a trench containing sea-
water and lime-' lined" as it is
technically called. All the sponges
carried to Apalachicola, which has a
small trade, are shipped to New
York, and thence to Key West to be
lined, whence they are returned to
New York. All this expense would
be avoided by Pensacola traders

MIR. K. Hermanson, from the
Swede's settlement, brought to this
office half dozen fine onions, from
one and a-half to three inches in
diameter. They were of the Bermu-
da variety, and were raised from
seed grown in Florida. 1t has long
been the opinion Of many, who got
their information from some one who
had probably never tested the mat.
ter, that seed of this variety could
not be grown in Florida, but this is
the second instance of its having
been done successfully, and there is
no doubt but what one can do all
may do. We hope the cultivation
OF this profitable crop will be in
creased, and that some one will make
it businessto grow the Seed San.

Pensacola's principal-in fact, al.
most only-dependency for many
years past has been the timber and
lumber business, and that has not
been sufficient to produce any great
degree of prosperity. Besides, tim
her is daily becoming scarcer, and
the time can not be very far distant
when the supply within easy reach
OF our city will be exhausted. We
do not now intend to discuss Pensa.
coias possibilities as a great seaport.
but simply to direct the attention our
business men here to the advantages
possessed by her for embarking in
the sponge trade. This business
yields Key West a revenue of about
seventy-fve thousand dollars wear.
which would be an item if added to |
Pensacola's annual receipts; and |
there is no reason why she should |
rot make as much as Key West does
or perhaps more.

The Philosophy or 1t.

The political atrocity in Maine shows
that the Democratic leaders are as cor
rupt, as constituencies and as depraved
in New England as in Mississippi, Louis
lana or South Carolina. As matter
of fact, the plan of robbing citizens of
their suffrages did not originate at the
South. In the rush of events we are
prone to forget great political crimes.
The first great political theft which was
perpetrated in the United States oc-
Cured in the Empire State. The DEM
ocratic party of New York stole the
Electoral vote of that State in 1868.
Horace Greeley charged the chief guilt
of the crime upon Samuel j. Tilden,
and Tilden never denied the charge.
The infamy of that crime against the
rights of the people of New York has
never been excelled in any one of the
bulldozed Southern States. The ma
jority of the legal voters of New York
on that occasion voted for the Grant
Electors. Tilden, having foreseen that
such would be the case, sent circular
letter to the Democratic managers at
every voting precinct in the State, re-

A Goose With q History.

A REPORTER of the West Chester
(Pa.) Republican had the following re-
lated to him day or two ago by par
ty who knew it to be true. Something
over eighty years ago a young girl of
West Bradford township, about twelve
years of age. had presented to her
goose egg by neighbor where she was
visiting. She carried it home and set
it under hen and Matched out q young
gosling of the masculine gender. She
married Mr.. Scott and they resided
on the farm now occupied by Mr. Caleb
Pennock, West Bradford. The old gan
der lived, fourished and furnished
feathers for number of beds. Mrs.
Scott died at an advanced age and re-
quested in her will that the gander
should not be killed or go off the place,
and it is now living, being something
over eighty years of age. 1t is very
cross and will attack persons, tear their
clothing, and is as spry as some other
geese on the farm which are twenty-five
wears old. "}

Laughingly gathered the flowers in play,
And tossed them into the rippling tide

The child, 70 manhood's stature @9wn.s
Stood by the stream of the world alone;
He flung to IL the work OF his heart,
He said: ' In thy life shall have part;

And the hurrying stream in music rose.
The years roll on, the years roll by:
In the heart of the man lies a hidden sigh.
An aged man leaned silently
Der the stream that glides to eternity:
He thought of the honest work of years,
OF vanished dreams, of unshed tears;
q Bear me on. o streamr' said he,
" There's a world where rich reward see.'
The solemn flood moved slowly on;
The flower. the work. the life was gone

so that in taking my pistol out of my
belt and cooking it, it slipped from me
and fell per plunk into the bears
mouth. He made one gulp and swal-
lowed it. 1t didn't seem to discommode
him in the least. He closed his jaws,
and it looked to me as if a thoughtful
expression came over his face. A new
idea seemed to strike him, as it were.
At any rate he hurried back to the spot
where had shot his tail of, stopped a
moment, and then disappeared in the
woods at the top of his speed. / lost
no time in getting down out of that
tree, securing my gun, and making my
best time for home. For months the
hunters tried to get a sight of that
bear, but it was no use. He couldn't
be found. Everybody thought he had
crawled off and died. A year afterward
l was standing on runway for deer on
Paupack ridge, when along came big
bear, taking it easy through the woods.
A funny thing about him was his tail,
which turned upward like deer's,
while bears lays fiat down. 1t gave
him very ridiculous appearance, and
l could scarcely take aim at him, l had
to laugh so. The bear was close to me
and hadn't seen me. sent ball into
him. simultaneously with the report
of my gun heard a dull, rumbling re-
port, and saw big piece of the bear
fly upward. Then came another report
followed by two more, and the bear
was scattered about the woods like
autumn leaves. At first 1 was fright
ened, but it wasn't ten seconds before
1 understood the whole thing. The
bear was the one that had swallowed
my pistol year before. My rihe-ball
had penetrated the bears stomach at
the spot where the pistol still lay, and
had hit the hammer with force enough
to knock it down. That, of fcourse, dis
charged one chamber, and, as usual,
the others followed. This explanation
was satisfactory to me until happened
to think that my bear of the year before
was minus tail, while this one had a
tail, although funny one. l hunted
around among the remains of the late
bear, and finally found the piece that
had the tail on. 1t was a bears tail
but was upside down. Closer inspec-
ton revealed the fact that it had not
originally been in that position. 1t
was all plain to me then. When the
bear that swallowed my pistol had
seemed to be struck with q new idea at
the foot of the tree, he thought of stick
ing his tail back in its place before it
got cod, with the hope that it would
grow fast again. To carry out this
happy thought he had hurried away
picked up mis- tail, and then flew to the
solitude of his den to perform the oper-
alton. In his hurry and excitement he
stuck the tail on upside down. To give
it time to unite firmly with the parent
flesh again, the bear remained quiet in
his den. This was why the hunters
could never find him. By the proud
and dignified way the bear was march
ing along when shot him with such
disastrous results, I candidly believe it
was his first appearance in public with
his grated tall .--
This one was more than the old settler
could stand. He swung his cane and
made the bar-room howl.-Cor. N. Y.

A Clock That Runs q Year on One
Winding.

On Chatham street there lives an old,
hoary-headed man named Cloff Pill
quest, who is the inventor of a curious
and somewhat wonderful piece of
mechanism in the shape of a clock
which faithfully ticks and tells the time
for an entire year with only one wind
ing.
A Leader man found the aged artisan
busily applying himself in his work
shop yesterday afternoon, when the
old gentleman, in broken English re-
lated a short history of his life, of the
curiosity in question, and explained the
peculiarities of the time-piece.
"I was born in 1902, in a place
called Broley, in Sweden. 1 learned
my trade with a workman named Pers-
son, and during my apprenticeship, in
the year 1920, began to make draw
ings of my clock, and of these l made
fully q dozen up to the time when
began its construction. In 1916 came
to this country and settled down in
Pittsburg, where have lived and toiled
ever since"
Here the old man took down a we'll
worn book, which proved to be nothing
more nor less than a diary, containing
the number of hours and sections of
hours and their exact position in the
day, which he lavished on the 365 day
time piece. After carefully examining
his records, the hero resumed: On
the 18th of August of rs began build
ing the clock, and devoted all my spare
moments to its construction until the
work was completed on the 2Sth of
December of III, and there it is run
ming just as it started on the 2Sth of
December of last year."
Here the old man removed an oval
shaped glass case from the little object,
and explained that the only advantages
it possessed was simplicity and the fac
ulty of pointing out the time of day
through an entire year with but one
winding up, and it accomplishes this
feat i'll this way: Arranged in a semi
circle are eight powerful springs, each
on being wound up capable of keeping
the Intervals in motion for precisely
six weeks. These are encased in eight
brazen bands, and through their center
runs a shaft at each end of which re-
wolves a wheel, and there is commu-
nication between the wheel on the eight
shafts. When one of these springs has
become exhausted, the apparatus is so
constructed that the next nearest spring
intrusts its force to the one just weak
ened, and so on for all the eight. A
glance through its works revealed that
the construction was strikingly simple.
The ticking is hardly anywhere audi
BILE in the room, and the inventor
Dragged about the exactness with
which his clock pointed out the hour
of the day. ..-.... ..,.-
Considering his time and the value of
the material used in making the ap-
paratus, he claims that this marvellous
piece of mechanism has cost him, at
the least calculation, $632. 2.35.-Pitts-
burq (Pa.J Leader.
