Ceylon, the Malabar and Coromandel
coasts Of India. the tropical islands Of
the Pacific, the West Indias. and South
America, where immense groves Of CO
coanut trees may be seen. An enter
prising capitalist Of New Jersey, who
sees millions in the project. has started
an extensive plantation Of cocoanut
trees IN Dade County. along the coast
of Southwestern Florida. One hundred
thoussod plants have been set out on a
tract of about one thousand acres ut a
cost Of nearly $4,000, and next winter
the number will be largely augmented.

Trying to Get up a Secret Rate.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, April 21.-Charles
Francis Adams, of the Arbitration Board Of
the trunk-line roads, was a visitor at the
Pennsylvania Railroad Office. The object Of
his visit, it is said, was to ascertain If the
Pennsylvania Railroad would consent to
secret cut rate. 1t appears that this is the
only point upon which there is any differ
ence between the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and other trunk-line roads The
Grand Trunk and the longer lines are in
favor of the differential plan, but also desire
that in the event of any further cut rates be
kept secret. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will not consent, and so informed
