In your issue of 4th inst. find friend White, of
Island Home Indian River, "still harping on my
daugh ter'-thermaI records
AS long as Messrs. White and Driscoll were con-
tent to confine their controversy to the east and
west coasts relatively was satisfied to remain a.
Hooker on in Venice, but when friend White saw
fit to bring his ''bugmashes" down on our Lake
Region to es, was naturally compelled to take a
hand in the fray.
Friend White now comes back at me by mis-
quoting DR.. Inman-if not in words, at least in
the idea sought to be conveyed by DR.. Inmans
article.
Ii my memoryis correct, DR.. Inman endeavored
to show that intending settlers might safely use
the evidence OF their own eyesight when looking
for desirable locations, and if they should see
piheapples, mangoes, Avocado pears and other
tender growths succeeding without protection as
may be seen now on proper selections in this,
Lake Region then they might assume that
'what man has done man may do again, Fort
Meade thermal records to the contrary not
withstanding.
After having jumped on poor Pabor with both
feet friend White coolly assures US that the Fort
Meade thermal record was the only one available,
therefore used.
Now, another ''recOrd," the army register, is
rugged in to show that the location OF the fort
and the town of Fort Meade are not the same.
Allow me to state that, in this connection, they
are identically the same. and that with slight
variation this applies to the whole Peace River
Valley. while the Lake Region with no "official
thermal record has entirely different climate.
These facts may be verified by friend Whteif he
will ''let up for awhile on the study of thermal
records put his "specs' in his pocket, and come
over here while Prophet Hicks cool zephyrs from
Venus and Mars are rambling the land try
ing to make record. One of the above men
toned zephyrs was prowling around my house
last night, and as matter of curiosity, hung
the thermometer on the coulter battlements'' of
the porch before retiring-this morning before
sunrise, the said "battlements' had made a cree
ord OF SO degrees, while on the ground a few feet
distant the "record" was 36 deerees-so you see
friend White it sometimes makes deal of differ
ence how your 'record' is made, and your eye
sight, provided your "glasses'' are not green,
may be the best witness after ALL
The article of H. j. M Porter on timber destruc-
uOnln Florida is deserving of our most earnest at
tentlon, and fear that unless something be done
TO check this evil at an early date, all records
will be "smashed' in the near future.

ISLAND.
BY settling the sand aforesaid, solid
with water or by trampling IL with
horses or men, and by adding one
third of good hydraulic lime TO sharp,
sandy gravel and finely broken rock,

oughly with water, the top course OF a
walk may be done in artificial rock.
This will be n grand lesson in road.
building for all the children and grown
people concerned in IL, because the
principles involved in permanent work
are always the same however details
may vary with local circumstances.
There must be undcrdrainage, either
natural or artificial; the walk or road
should be water shedding-a roof
over its foundations, as Mr. McAdam
said-and rounding enough 10 clean
itself" as Telford said; while the fric-
tion Of travel should wear at the sur
face only. Methods for making our
paths straight" should be taught in
schools and churches, to the end that
the common people may never be
cheated in these everlasting matters.
Earth roads will wear longer upon a
concave bed of solid sand; and whe ther
the superstructure, toreeeive the tread
of animals and the grinding of loaded
wheels, be of selected natural gravel.
or of broken stone (which at best will
be an artificial. coarse graveD, or of

nothing can be better for foundations
than the solid bed Of natural or arti-
fetal sand. To get foundations right
is the most important thing in road
mending as in road making Careless
workmen, as ignorant Of what has
been as of what should be, continually
spoil our highways. We have our
selves felt, perhaps, how carefully the
conscientious dentist removes all de-
cayed and insecure material from the
cavity he intends TO fill He'll give us
costly or a cheap wearing surface,
but the founda tion must be scrupulous-
ly secure and firm in each case. So IL
is in road building or in any building
whatever. Let me see the road maker
dumping rolling gravel upon a ridge OF
newly-scraped-up mud or sand. II is
like driving TO market with load OF
potatoes and no side boardsl And we
see the same sort Of workman hauling
road gravel upon some sandy fiat in a
dry time, smothering himself and the
travelling public with dust, when a
single load of water on gravel damp
from the pit would be worth ten loads
of gravel in finishing his work.
Nothing can be positively and fitly
said here about the depth, width or
length of road work, except in the
language of the old masters: "Wisdom
shows a narrower path" Avoid the
broad road"-male plenty of mar

startled dcnizens with the paralyzing,
blood-curdling dread inseparablc from

hastily thrown up, heads were thrust

out of the windows the valuable mir

that way.
But the roar Of the flames warned
them that they must hasten.

wipe the sweat and CRIME from his

A Law of Evolution.

1t is a suggestive fact always suffi-
ciently considered that as soon as any
organ or faculty falls into disuse it de-
generates and is finally lost altogether.
Through all the ages that man has
had the power of speech this power has
not been fixed in us in any degree what
yer by heredity. 1t is regarded as def"
nitely proved that if child of civilized
parents were brought up in a desert
place and allowed no communication
whatever with man it would never
make any attempt at speech. Up to the
last century it was not uncommon to
find persons living in wild state in the
woods and forests of England, France,
Germany and Russia, who were utterly
incapable of speech, though they could
make sounds in imitation of the cries
of wild animals. Certain parasite insects
have so completely degenerated that
they possess neither eyes, legs, heads,
mouths, stomachs nor intestines. AMI
mails that burrOw and live under grOud
lose the power of sight, or have eyes
that are merely rudimentary. Slave
ants and working ants have lost their
wings through being kept entirely to a
life on the ground. The masters in
some colonies of ants in which slaves
are kept have become so hopelessly de-
pendent on their slaves that they not
only will not seek food but are incapa-

SfnGIe-Handel.

A good story Of Gen. John G. Breck-
enrfdge is said to have been told by
himself, with evident relish, not long
before his death. In talking to some
friends about the many kindnesses
which had been shown him by his peo-
pie and the pleasant things which had
been said to him, he remarked that he
valued as highly as any compliment
ne had ever received one which an
old Kentucky farmer paid him during
the war, which had come to his ears
only short time before.
It was the custom in war-time, rs
it has always been at all times, for
the country people to cOIue into the
county town OH Saturday afternoon to
exchange news gathered during the
week.
At one Of these gathe rings in store
In Richmond, Ky, just after the battle
Of ChiCkamdnga, one of the men said
he had heard some grand news. Upon
being pressed to tell it, he said, grave

II did hear that thar has been a most

WASTED ENERGY OF COAL

Inventor Edison Considers Plans for
Utilizing 1t and Saving Much
Money.
II think shall soon turn my atten-
ton to one of the greatest problems
that have ever thought of solving,
and that is the direct control of the
energy that is stored up in coal, so
far as it may be employed without
waste and at Il very small margin of
cost" said Mr. Edison to Il writer for
McClure'S Magazine. Ninety per cent
of the energy that exists in coal is now
lost in converting it into power. Now,
that is, an awful waste, and even a
child can see that if this WaStage can
be saved it will result in vastly cheap
ening the cost Of everything which is
manufactured by electricity or steam
power. In fact, it will be vastly cheap
ening the cost of all the necessaries OF
| life, and | suppose the results will DO
of mightier influence upon civilization
than the development of the steam en-
gine and electricity have bc"n. 1t viii,
in fact, do away with steam engines
and boilers and make the use of steam
power as much of Il tradition as the
| stage coach now is.
Mr.. Edison looks farther ahead than
this campaign, for he said: Il think it
quite likely that 1 may try to develop
plan for marine signaling. I should
use the well known principal that water
is a more perfect medium for carrying
vibrations than air and should develop
instruments which may be carried upon
seagoing vessels by which they can
transmit or receive through IN interna-
tionl code of signals repoIts within q
radius of, say, ten miles"
