meant every word l uttered. A study
or French construction shows rigid APP
pication of modern thought to the true
motives OF characters. The modern French
dramatist treats his characters with as much
precision as a scientific man treats "A ph 50
Of ma ural history. There Is a TdiSon detTe,
8 motive for every action. la the earlier
scenes of play there may, perhaps,
be some comparatively timid action
which the spectators may not note with
aky special attention, but before the play is
ended be will find that this action, timid as
it may have appeared TO him at the mo-
ment, will form an essential feature in the
development of the story. II 10 h re t1at
the French dramatist is q fdciies pFfnc9ps
He does nothing without n motive, and
this motive is always utilized ia such a
manner that makes 10 indispensable in the
development Of the construction and char
acter.
la my own work, as a disciple of the
French school have eSsayed to analyzs
character after these methods. Indeed,
character has been with me a study, and
have done my utmost TO train myself TO the
aualyzation of motives and their customs.
The public must judge Of my success; but
whatever the verdict may be on my per-
sonal work. / am individually confident
that tho French school is the only true
school Of dramatic writing at the present
day.
It should be noted that in the develop.
ment of this school by the French dram
atists, they have educated their public to
appreciate and enjoy this evolution OF
human motives without reference to the
sad or joyous ending Of the play. In short,
it is not found necessary In the French
drama to bring down the final curtain
amid the peaIing OF marriage bells. On the
contrary, in England or America, the
dramatist, as yet. must desert his logical
conclusion, or else must confine himself 20 q
limited range Of subjects, in order TO have
happy denouements, and the traditional
weddings 10 end his plays
A marked example Of this was Charles
Rsade's adaotation OF Zola's "L'Assom-
moir" to the English stage. under the title
OF Drink" The French author brought
his people 10 the misery and death the
awful subject demanded. This would never
have done for our English dramatization,
however. and as Mr.. Reade was compelled
TO give his play happy ending, the cur
tain finally dropped on the heroine about
to marry her third husbandi

Calculations "a to the Value of Fiorida
Phosphataa

Calculations "a TO the Value OF Fiorida
Phosphates.
This weeks Brooksville (Fla) Nstos will
publish substantially the following on phos-
pilates:
The continued phosphate excitement and
tho eagerness with which the em ssarias of
the phosphate companies buy phosphato'
lands, has led us 20 make 70 y calculations
These calculations are based upon the hy-l
pothesis Of deposit OF three feet in thick
ness
A cubic foot of water contains ea5<
pounds; cubic foot OF phosphate Is sup
posed to weigh ~ times as much as water.
or I56iS pounds; an aero contains As, 500
square feet; multiply this by three feet
gives us $50, $50 cubic feet; again multiply
ing 1870, 1870 cubic feet by 1868, the weight
per foot gives US 20,273, no pounds 10 an
acre of phosphate three feet thick. Divid-
ing this by 1900 gives as result 10, 1855
tons to an acre of phosphate three feet
thick.
The phosphate companies have for some
time been paying the state Of South Caro-
lima 81 per ton royalty for the privilege Of
mining phosphate rock. So that, on the
same basis, one acre of Phosphate 5 feet
thick would DO worth $40, 1856. As a matter
Of fact, large portion OF the Florida phos-
phate does not need blasting. being easily
mined with pick and shovel, and is worth
from 50 to Sl5 per ton, free on board cars.
II can DO mined and placed on board for s3
per ton, making ii worth net from 50 TO $I3
per ton. Multiplying sl0, 1856 by three dol
lars, gives as the value Of one acre, 8 feet
thick, the sum OF S30,b5S and at a vaiua-.
ton of sl2 per ton gives as the valus OF
such an acre the astonishing sum of
Sl22. 232.
Some of the Dunellon phosphate beds are
reported to be sixty feet deep. II that be
true, the value Of those beds per acre, upon
the same basis of calculation, would reach
the enormous figures of Sd1i, 100. the low
est, 10 $l2, 22S, 200 tho highest estimate par
acre.
When we glance over this whirling mage
Of figures it does not surprise us that q syn
dictate of capitalists offered the state Of
South Carolina the enormous sum of SIS. :
000, 900 for her phosphate beds. Nor Is 10
any wonder that the counties OF Citrus.
Hernando, and Paso are teeming with the
hirelings and detectives of the phosphate
companies, gobbling up phosphate lands ar
from $40 per acre up. Oar citizens who
sell phosphate lands at the prevailing fig
ures will soon soc the day when they will
bitterly regret having cast away millions Of
dollars for the paltry bait OF two or three
thousand dollars.
This whole section of country is In a
whirl Of excitemsnt Our livery teams are
kept engaged several weeks ahead. Some
OF the companies have sent prospectors az
far down as the county OF Polk, where IL IA
confidently expected that some beds similar
to these viii be found.
Phosphate rock looks very much like
lime rock, while the purest looks like chalk.
and is OF the consistency OF clay. Both
soft and hard beds are frequently found ia
close proximity.
