FLORIDA As A REFUGE.

The Rev. DR.. Edward Z. Hale, at a
meeting in Boston, has just made some
remarks which place the relations OF
Florida to the North in new light.
Persons speak of the advantages Of the
State as winter resort for invalids of a
consumptve tendency, but it is always
with the idea that trip to Florida is one
Of the privileges Of the few, and entirely
optional with the individual. Dr. Hale
takes different view. Reviewing Bos-
tons death rate from sundry diseases. he
holds it a duty which the community
owes TO itself, to diminish the percentage,
and he believes that by the use of sani-
tary measures, very great reduction is
possible With regard to consumption.
he thinks the death rate from this disease
might be reduced one-haf. He proposes
a system of transfers to a warmer climate
and says that consumptive persons, to
whom the cold weather might prove fatal
should be sent every winter to Florida.
The idea is an admirable one, but. from
the difficulties presented, it evidently
could be carried out only to a limited
extent Ii would not be possible to make
the transfer obligatory, and therefore the
project would be only partially effective
in lowering the death rate. Any such
attempt would resemble other charitable
works intended to alleviate the affections
Of the poor. As the greater portion Of
sufferers must necessarily belong to the
poorer class, very large fund would
have to be raised, 20 cover not only trav-
cling expenses but the maintenance of
many persons who would have no means
Of support beyond their own homes; and
the undertaking appears SO great as to
forbid the idea of It's being carried out in
any far-reaching way AS a matter Of
benevolence, which does its utmost where
it cannot accomplish all, the project may
be heartily commended.
The unqualified way in which DR..
Hale designates Florida as the resort for
consumptives, is very striking, and should
have much weight with those who can
afford to spend the winter in the State.
There are numberless instances in which
persons a. parentlv with a very short
lease OF lie, have gone 10 Florida and
attained robust health in its favorable
climate. Florida's value as a sanilarium
can hardly be overeotimated

that basin and onward u the Atlantic
coast near Jupiter Inlet This would
give fine harbor at the western end Of
the canal, and it is claimed that mod
crate outlay of money would make fiie
harbor at Jupiter. With the tides pass
ing through the Inlet into Indian river
the naturai scpur would keep this en-
trance always open.
Such a canal would at once solve the
drainage problem Of South Florida, ana
that difficulty overcome, millions Of acres
Of reclaimed land would al once be made

rice. The production Of these articles

Although the wear 1900 will be divi>i-
ble BY four without a remainder, it Will
70; be leap wear. Twelve years must
elapse before the interesting event takes
place, but it was Just the same in 1900
and 1900. but not i'll lG00, for That was a
leap year, and the 1000 Will he a leap year
also. Why this should be is problem
To explain in detail would be tiresome
task, but it rests on the principle that a
difference of eleven minutes per day ex-
lists between actual time and calendar
time. Thus year is computed at 3654
days, three years being 800 days long and
the fourth wear 800 days. In fact the
year is 500 days, hours and As minutes
long, or ii minutes short of 1861 DAYS
The leap year every four years is said to
have been an invention OF Julius Cesar.
To allow for this difference of eleven min
utes per year, one leap year was dropped
every hundred years. But this was found
not to be exact, and Pope Gregory NH,
in 1882, made an improvement and de-
creed that every fourth centurial year
should be leap year. Thus, by emitting
the leap year for three centurial years
and letting it remain as usual on the
fourth centurial year, system is obtained
SO close that it would take thousands of
years to make up another days difference
In time. The calendar time is still not
exact mathematicallv, hut as no change
will be necessary for 1900 Years, it will
not fall to the share OF the present gener-
alton to correct the Discrepancy
