Great Canal scheme in Florida.


The dredging for the great east-coast
canal in Florida is now being rapidly
pushed. The water way is to begin at
St Augustine and end at Biscayne Bay
In the far South. From st. Augustine
The route Is down the MatanZas River,
scross eight miles of land to Smith
Greek, thence into the HillsbOro River.
down that stream to the haul-over,
which has been dredged, then into the
Indian River, through its entire length
to Lake Worth, through the lake to the
southern end, thence inland to New
River, and from New River, which is
mere stream, to Biscayne Bay. Owing
to the length of the sO-called Indian
River and the laying Of the route
through Lake Worth and three tidal
rivers there Is comparatively little
dredging to be done, and for that
the most part through marshland.
The two enormous dredges in use
push ahead about 125 feet a day.
They have already dredged several
miles of the inland waterway between
Lake Worth and New River, and will
probably reach Biscayne Bay by au-
tumn. The east coast will derive great
advantage from this canal as means
of transportation. To st. Augustine IT
will be of especial benefit. as it will
place the city in direct communication
with the entire coast by water as we'll

TWO VIEWS REGARDING A CENT
Bank President Thought 1t Worth

The president of one of Wall streets

the message, dropped penny on the
floor.

cent"
Johnson searched diligently, but the
coin refused TO be found, says the New
York sun.
IF you can't find it, never mind.
Get that telegram off and send Robert
here"
Robert. one of the banks messengers,
came in and was told to find the cent.
He got under the desk, and, removing
the thick fur rug made n search for the
missing coin without success.
We'll" exclaimed the president, test
lily, get a light"
A candle was brought. and after a
third attempt the penny was rdiscov-
cred and was handed TO the president,
who dropped it into his pocket without
"Ah. good morning, Mr.. JONES'" said
the president. Twill | renew your

why, certainly, sir, certainly. The
money market, | understand, is easier
to-day"
The next morning the head book
keeper of the bank sauntered jauntily
down to the correspondence depart
ment. took cent from his pocket,
tossed it on the small clerks desk, and
asked for penny stamp. The coin
twirled a merry dance on the desk,
then rolling off, plunged into the waste
paper basket and was lost TO view.
"COnfound it," exclaimed the book
keeper, after poking among the papers
Il few times, Il can't bother with such
small thing as that" Producing an
other penny he got his stamp and
walked off.
1t may be added that the presidents
salary is well up in the thousands and
he is very wealthy man besides. The
bOokkeeper has a salary of $500.
