ital, the governor packed his trunk and Mrs

several OF her best dresses in the trunk of
the governor. A day or two before one OF the
governors admirers presented him with sew
eral cobWebDed bottles OF wine, whose win.

The engineers Of the Florida Southern rail
road intend to MI in the sink into which two
OF their cars fell few days ago with sand
Those whe have studied the subject Of the
natural phenomena OF Florida say that sinks
are due to the caving of ground into under
ground rivers. The theory was long ago ad.
Vanced that Paines prairie, as it is called
when dry, or Alachua lake, as it is called
when covered with water, is drained by an
underground river aud that the railroad
happened to be built above the river
For years IL has been noticed that al.
most Immediately following o cave in or sink
the prairie goes wet, and that within few
years 1t goes dry again because OF the seep-
ing OF the water in cutting a new channel
around the Cave-in or obstruction. The effect
Of the last sink win be watched with interest
by many people In Florida interested in the
drainage Of the prairie. Some people declare
that it will be dangerous undertaking on the
part OF the railroad to fill in the sink as the
extra weight will have tendency to make
the SINK go down further unless the surface
has found foundation.
