Rich Finds In Florida.

According to the report of the Surveyor
General very prolific new sources of wealth
have recently been unearthed in Florida.
Extensive and very valuable deposits of
rich phosphate rocks were discovered only a
lew ieet beneath the surface on the public
land that has lately been drained. Many
other valuable substances were found in the
course of the explorations. Among them
are slate, mica, zinc ore, kaolin, sulphur,
mari and fossil guano. Large areas OF
swamps that have been drained now open to
tillage a broad expanse of arabic land we'll
adapted to the cultivation of sugar cane and
other semI-tropical crops. Development of
the resources of the State cannot intelli-
gently proceed, however, until a complete
survey has been made. Such surveys are
essential. They not only reveal the pres
ence of valuable mineral deposits, but re-
duce to a minimum the waste of money usu-
ally expended in prospecting by giving reli-
able information as TO the approximate loca-
ton OF paying mines.

Game in the South.
Boston Trayeller.l
Recently large party OF wealthy gentle
men from Chicago visited the Electric City
of the South seeking an investment for their
superhuous Jumps, and having little spare
time on their hands resolved to make up a
hunting team. Big stories of wild turkey
in abundance about the mountains had been
foated about the Hotel De Kalb, and en-
Ihusiasm crept under the vest of the fortune
hunters in large majorities. A well-known
trapper was approached, who tumbied to
the scheme at once, but knowing
wild turkeys did not abound in that
region to any great extent he set his
wits working, and resolved to keep up his
reputation as we'll as that of the country
where he was a prophet. Procuring half
dozen good turkeys from near farmer and
bright lad to tend them, he located both
in lonesome place up the mountain and
left them to their fate, with instructions to
keep track of them Tor SO many hours, and
wherever they went to scatter paper scent,
la hare and hounds, that the trapper might
track them. Bright and early the next day
came the party, eager for mountain game,
and the guide hitting the scent easily was
not long in soaring up q bird. Bangl bangi
bangl bangl and the widest specimen in all
Alabama came down with futter of wild
feathers, an easy victim to Chicago's
prowess.
In short space of time five more rare
birds. were bagged. but the hunt kept on
unabated, until the sun commenced to
slant his evening rays, when the mighty
hunters resolved that the whole family
were slaughtered, and, weary Of sport,
betook homeward course. Great was the
curiosity at the hotel to zee the fruits of the
hunt and congratulations were in order all
round. The next day the Chicago gentle
men left for home, carrying those six wild
tame turkeys, and are probably TO- day
telling their friends of the sport they had in
the mountains Of Alabama, shooting wild
fowl.
The trapper thought the story too good to
keep, and thus it leaked out

Curious Facts and Happenings Gathered From the Column
Of the ExehsngeA

A new industry that is about to be en-
tered into by molasses importers, that of
shipping the product in bulk, was made
public last week in Philadelphia by the an
nouncement of the cbartering of the tank
steamships Circassian Prince and Pollux,
which have heretofore run in tine oil trade.
They have been chartered by W. j. Nc
Cahan & Co., of Philadelphia, it is said,
who have Just completed large plant at
their works, foot OF Morris street, by which
taukers can be unloaded with as much
rapidity as though laden with oil.
This is doubtlessly the hardest blow sail
ing vessels have had yet, as this trade has
heretofore been entirely in the hands of sail
ing craft flying the American flag. Should
this new undertaking prove success in
time, like in the petroleum trade, the tank
ers will enjoy a monopoly of the business,
which will prove very lucrative one for
their owners. BY the shipment of molasses
in bulk hundreds of coopers will be thrown
out of employment, both here and in Cuba.
Vessels which have been engaged in carry
ing empty hogsheads to Cuba will be COM
PEELED to seek other employment, and, alto
gether, it will be most depressing outlook

Stevedores will be done away with, as well
as counters, caulkers and others who are en-

A well-known merchant states that he

prove 3 success. .ul one and it will be
great saving TO the importers, as every
hosshead shipped from here to Cuba to he
refilled stands them Sc by the time it re-
turns; that is counting the extra freight,
cooperage, etc. A question that seems to
bother a great many merchants, is the
manner in which the molasses is to be
shipped in the Pollux and Circassian
Prince. Both steamers have been engaged
in the petroleum trade for a series OF years,
and their tanks are full of petroleum odor,
and the question is, can their tanks be
cleaned so as not to ruin the molasses. This
it is claimed can be done by use OF a
chemical preparation. The freight paid on
the molasses is II shillings. They will 60

Andrew Oleson is an iron handler en-

Foundry Company, says the St. Paul Globe.
Some mouths ago he complained Of an un-
controllable desire to sleep at all times, and

grew on him until he was compelled to
throw up his position and submit TO medical
treatment. he returned with his wife and
one child to Eau Claire, Wis, where his
parents reside, and there placed himself in
the care of a physician who had brought
him safely through the ills Of childhood.

Frozen GOO Feet Deep.

For many years scientists have been per-
picked over the phenomenon of certain
well at Yakutsk, Siberia. As long ago as
1928 Russian mecrhant began to sink this
noted we'll, and after working on it for three
years, gave it up as bad job, having at
that time sunk it to depth of 30 feet with
out getting thro ugh the frozen ground. He
communicated these facts to the Russian
Academy OF Science, who sent men to take
charge of the digging operation at the won.
derfuI well. These scientific gentlemen
toiled away at their work for several years,
hut at last Abandoned it when a depth of $50
feet had been reached, with the earth still
frozen as hard as a rock. In 1874 the
academy had the temperature of the soil at
the sides Of the we'll taken al various depths.
From the data thus obtained they came to
the startling conclusion that the ground was
frozen to depth exceeding 800 ieet.
Although it is known to meteorologists
that the pole of the lowest known tempera-
ture is in that region of Siberia, it is con-
ceded that not even that rigorous climate
could force frost to such great depth be-
low the surface. After figuring on the SUBJ
ject for over quarter of century, geolo-
gists have at last come to the conclusion
that the great frozen valley of the Lena
river was deposited, frozen just as it is
found to-day, during the great grinding up
era OF the glacial epoch.

Shot a Deer With Pills.

A member of the United States Senate,
distinguished alike for his great ability and
the unctious manner in which he tells a
story or relates joke, even if it be upon
himself, entertained some newspaper men
Saturday In the lobby of the Senate with
the recital of an incident in connection with
q recent successful deer hunt not over ], 900
miles from the nations capital, says the
Baltimore Sun. The Senator was combin-
ing a quest of health with pleasure on this
deer hunt, and had gone provided with a
liberal supply of pills provided by his
Washington physician. He was camped in
the mountains and was meeting with fair
share of success.
One morning, while preparing to take
his departure for the deer stand, a messen-
ger arrived loaded down with glowing ac-
counts of the November Democratic victories
throughout the country. Now, the Senator
is one of the stanchest and most enthusi-
sstic Democrats in the country, and
the great news fairly set him wild.
About this time the loud-mouthed
bay of the hounds came from the
mountain, announcing that the aeet-footed
deer had been started. The Senator
quickly loaded his double -harrelled gun
and hastened to the stand. He had been
there but few minutes when n splendid
three pronged buck put in an appearance,
scarcely 40 yards distant, utterly uncon-
scious of such close proximity to the usually
unerring aim OF the Senatorial deer hunter.
Then there was a loud report, the deer stood
motionless, and then the Senator let him
have another barrel. But to the Senator's
surprise the buck took header through the
forest at rate of speed which showed that
he was unaffected in wind or limb by the
iusilIade to which he had been subjected.
The Senator is now convinced that instead
OF loading with buckshot he had used the
pills, and at most the buck only received a
hypodermic injection of blue mass. The
Senator did not say, butit is just possible that
he also got in the wrong pocket that morn
ing when taking his daily dose of physic,
and instead of the pills dosed himself with
buckshot. 1t is certainly possible he might
have done so and been excusable, suffering
as he was under the effect of Democratic
and buck fever.

Mernaids and Mermen,

The dugong, a species of whale found
abundantly in the waters of both the great
oceans, but especially off the coast OF Aus
tralia in the Pacific, is believed to have
furnished the slender basis upon which all
mermaids and mermen stories have been
founded. Its average length is from to 20
feet. 1t has a head much resembling that
of the human species, and breathes by
means of lungs. 1t leeds upon submarine
beds of sea-weeds, and when wounded
makes noise like mad bull. Long hair
in the female species, and hair and beard in
the male, adds to the human resemblance of
the head and neck. The flesh of this species
of whale is used for food, and is said to have
the flavor of bacon, mutton or beef accord
ing to the parts of the body from which the
meat Is taken.

Education of the Phagocyte.

The phagocyte is the enemy of the bacillus.
The future of preventive medicine lies in
the education OF the phagocyte. So saws
Prot. Raw Lancaster. The phagocyte is
simply the white corpuscle, to whose beaey-
oleut interference it is due that we are not
altogether destroyed by the bacilli. These
enemies of mankind exist in vast numbers
1t is some indication of their extent and
variety to know that there are 1000, 900 of
them in every cubic inch of the water which
is furnished to the people of Paris. These
germs swarm throughout the membranes OF
the body. But they do little harm unless
they can get into the blood. This they have
dithculty in doing. 1t is here the phagocyte
comes 10 our relief and defense.
The moment the bacillus makes its an
pearance In drop of blood the phagocytes
fall upon it and devour it. Sir Joseph
Lister has described one of the experiments
OF Russian doctor which established this
truth. An anthrax gem was introduced
into the blood of green frog. The germ
perlshed because the phagocytes devoured
it. But another anthrax germ was intro
duced into the body of the frog, inclosed in
q bag which excluded the phagocytes and
that germ faurished. The habit of the
phsgocytes is to fall upon everything alien
and harmful that gets into the blood and
destroy it. But the phagocytes sometimes
fail. If the temperature is raised they lose
their appetite ior baciili. Our knowledge
Of the services and peculiaritieS of the phag-
ocyte may lead to a more extensive use of
the TRANSMISSION of blood. The education of
the pbagocyte, we may add, is at the bottom
of the science OF incubation, says the New
York Times. A smallpox germ would
prove too much for the digestion of phago-
cvte which had not been prepared for such
food, just as neat brandy would be too much
for a teetotsler. But ii he has been edu.
Gated up to such food by a weak dilution Of
the smallpox germ, the phagocyte may

Artificial Incubation on the Nile.

Artificial incubation is by no means a
strictly modern industry in Egypt, writes
Consul General Cardwell from Cairo. The
art of Matching eggs By other than natural
process was known and practiced by ancient
Egyptians, and the Egyptian incubatory of
to-day is but reproduction of the one of
thousands of years ago. In all these years
tn, Egyptian breed of chickens has not
changed, and the manner OF reproduction
has remained Immutable. Not long ago 1
secured the metal stamp of a chicken de.
posted in a tomb over 1000 years ago, and
it is the perfect type of the Egyptian fowl of
to-day; and when this stamp was struck ar
tifcial incubation was thing of actual e1-
istence in Egypt The methods of harching
eggs by artificial means and knowledge of
constructing appliances for the same have
descended through ages from father to SON,
and the wonderful success attending this in
dustry throws into insigni6cance the modern
scientific machines lately introduced into
the United States and elsewhere. The
marvellous success of artificial fowl produc-
ton in Egypt proves the TACT that inventive
genius even in America might be directed
into more successful and lar less expensive
methods of industry by drawing inspiration
the Nile valley. In 1880 the fowl industry
OF the United States amounted to over 5000,
000, 900; and ii to SC vast an industry could
be applied the economies of Egyptian pro-
duction profits would be trebled.

A Dog without a Voice.

Robert c. Dingee, a stenographer, living
in Plainfeld, N. j., owns a dog which is
strangely afflicted, says the New York
Tribune. 1t has lost entirely the use of its
voice, and is in fact almost as dumb as an
oyster. The dog is a big savage-looking
Newfoundland, and is chained to kennel
at one side OF the house. Tramps think
twice before attempting to enter by the
gate, and upoE second thought they gen.
erally decide to call elsewhere for cold
yictuals. Although it cannot bark or growl
Mr. Dingee's pet is a frst-class watcher,
and by showing two rows OF cleaning teeth,
and by excited rushing to the length OF its
chain limits, intruders IRE generally scared
away.
The handsome brute has not always been
dumb, however. One unusually hard winter
it caught q severe cold and nearly died.
Mr.. Dingee argued that what was good for a
human cough must necessarily be also good
for a canine cough. Accordingly be pro-
cured from druggist the best bottle of rock
and rye in the market and prescribed liberal
doses OF the same to the dog. The latter at
once felt the soothing effects Of the medicine,
which, bv the way, 1t was not loath to take,
and rapidly recovered. AS the cough left
the animal so did its voice. When Mr.
Dlngee comes home now his pet welcomes
him with rattle oi its chain, and on occa-
sions of unusual joyfulness it indulges in a
Wheeling sound. which is no more like a
dogs bark than is the noise made by escap-
ing steam.

What Makes Hair Curly.

The difference between straight and curly
hair is very apparent on microscoplcal e1-
animation, says the St. Louis Globe Demo
crat. A hair is a hollow tube, and straight
hair is as sound as a reed, while curly hair
is slways fattened On both sides and curls
toward one of the fiat sides, never toward
the edge. 1t is curious and little known
fact that the hair of women is coarser than
that of men, as we'll as thicker on the scalp.
In an average head of hair there are about
130, 900 individual hairs. The hair seems TO
have life of its own, independent of that
of the man, for numerous instances are
known OF the hair continuing to grow alter
death. In one of the st. Louis cemeteries
body of lady was some years ago disln-
tered for the purpose of removing it else
where. When the coffin was opened the en-
tire capitv was filled with q mass of auburn
hair which had grown after the intermens
had taken place.

A Boston Kleptomaniao.

I want you to watch that woman over
there" said Inspector Knox, of Boston, to
TrdUeller reporter the other day. She was
a young and rather prepossessing woman
who stood in the middle of the little party
at the counter in jewelry store, She
called for tray of rings. They were taken
from the case and put on top. She then
took one of the rings in her fingers and
looked at it. and then, turning to another
tray, took up another ring. A moment
later she adroitly dropped one of the rings
and stepped upon it Resumiug her ex-
animation of the tray before her she at the
same time dropped her handkerchief on the
floor, and when she picked it up the ring
was concealed somewhere within its folds.
Every time this was repeated ring went
into her pocket until she had halt dozen.
Outside of the counter were two persons,
friends of the customer, and each had a
memorandum block upon which was kept
an exact tally OF the number of rings taken
from the trays, while inside of the counter
was the superintendent of that special de-
partment and two of his assistants, each Of
whom also kept count upon block. The
blocks were subsequently compared, and the
friends OF the young woman were notified,
and the bill was paid. 1t is a form OF
amusement, however, that she is seldom per-
mitted to have, although the family is we'll
to-do.

How an Earthquake Feels.

A peculiar thing about living in Central
America is the ease with which you become
accustomed to the earthquakes. They do
not come without giving due notice. You
are sitting In piazza of hot afternoon
chatting with your friends, when suddenly
the sky seems to grow hazy, the crows stop
cawing and the buzzards quit fighting in the
street. There is general rush, and. though
you may not know what is the matter. you
can not help feeling uneasy. The old ma
tlves say, "We are going to have little
shake" and then the house begins to rock,
the tumblers fall off the table, You feel
all over; the Sky clears, the crows begin
their noisy scre4ms and the buzzards resume
their quarrel over the street offal. There is
something inexpressibly terrifying, however,
about the trembling OF the earth; the slight
est oscillation will awaken the population
OF the whole town and rouse a drunkard out
of the deepest stupor, but unless some con-
siderable damage is done, everybody goes to
sleep again as a mstter Of course.

A Sandwich Island Fruit.

The papaia, says Paradise Of the Pacific,
published at Honolulu, is a fruit that has
long been grown in this country and is more
easily raised than almost anything that is
planted, yet it does not seem to be valued
according TO its worth, nor cultivated as e1-
tensively as it should be. At the right stage
of ripeness it is quite agreeable to eat fresh,
and made into pie it is delicate and deli
cious. When fu llv grown, but still green,
it may be pared and cooked as squash or
turnips are. 1t makes a very edible vegeta-
BILE, and is most servlceable when those
better known vegetables are scarce. Horses,
swine, fowl and birds thrive on it. Grow
ing up straight without wide-spreading
branches the tree occupies but very little
room, and will grow and bear great many
years. Visitors to Hawaii should indulge
in taste of papaid, and then learn how
careless the community is in not taking ad-
vantage OF the opportunity to propagate a
useful, delicious fruit.
