Some of the recent explorers of
Alaska say the Mississippi can no
longer be regarded as the largest river
on this continent, as they claim this
distinction for the Yukon river. Ac-
cording to q man who spent two vars
in Alaska preparing facts for the last
census the Yukon empties more water
than the Mississippi pours into the
Gulf of Mexico. It's basin comprises
the northern half of Alaska and 600
miles from its mouth the river is
mile wide. Many centuries before it
was discovered by white men it doubt
less served as a highway into the in
terror for the tribes which we believe
crossed over from Asia. The Yukon is
over, 1000 miles long.

The new liberal administration of
Canada has before it some of the same
questions to consider that the incoming
administration and congress of this
country have to solve. A revenue of
$40, 900, 900 must be provided. The lib
eral party, now in power, is strongly
inclined toward free trade and yet, as
Mr.. Laurier acknowledges, modern
politics have not yet devised an easier
mode of tax collecting than the tariff
and the custom houses. He also says
that a protective system, strengthened
by the practice of eighteen years,
could not be swept away by one stroke.
He does not, therefore, propose to lead
a party of revolutionists, but one of re-
formers.

THE BICYCLE PATH.

Several strong efforts are b@ing
made by cur citiz=ns 10 raise the
balance of the funds necessary TO
finish the bicycle path te Silver
Springs.
These efforts should BE encour-
aged. not only by those patroniz-
ing the path, but by every one
who has the business intercs or
Oca'a at heart.
The leading spirits in the matte r
are Gete rmined TO have the path
finished by the time the northern
travel begins to come backwards
Many Ct these tourists, knowing
the advantages Of Ocala and the
wondrous fame of Silver Springs,
will be induced to stop off in Ocala
instead of going to other points
which have a'so the advantages ot
bicycle paths.
In connection with this it might
be we'll to state that our attention
has been called to the fact that
several members Of the bicycle
club use the path frequently anc
yet do not pay their initiation fee:
and monthly dues. Were these al
paid in it would aid materially il
finishing the path.

THE STATE CAPITAL.

Ocala has made herself solid this
year of grace as convention city.
She has captured every one Of the
state conventions and congressior
al conventions, except one OF the
three republican state and two of
the democratic congressional cor
ventions.-Jacksorville MetroEo-
lis.
This was because it was univer.
sally conceded that no other point
in the state was as central and
could compete with Ocala as an 40
cessible and suitable point. And
the argume ut holds good when we
discuss the suitability of Ocala a.
the proper place for the state cap
ital. All Florida wants a change
and Ocsla will get the votes IS she
should.-Wildwood Gazette.

huge sea serpent, which w2s hung
by troll line off Carrabeiic about
nine miles, before the banks were
located. The troll was about Goo
yards long, but only about 100
yards were paid out when the sea
serpent struck the hook, which was
a shark hook, baited with couple
of mullet.
1t was thought by those present
who were watching the troll that
the hook had struck the rocks and
had got hung. The water was

tanned by the crowd tia: some
thing of enormous size had the
troll. Everybody was panic strick-
en- as the wafer began to foam at
the end of the troll. Some one
yelled "Pay out the line; turn the
thing loose" The line was rapid
iy paid out for 200 CT 800 yards
and the monster made direct to
the sea with the line, the boat fol
lowing it under full steam; which
was kept up for three or four
miles, when it was ascertained that
the monster was tirir 6 and prepa
rations were made to haul in the
troll.
When nearing the boat the ex
citement increased, and when i
was within shooting distance
everyone on the boat who had ;
gun turned locse at it. The shoot
ing was kept up for several min
utes. AT last one of the party &C

to the surface, when it was sec
that it was lifeless. The crow
and crew of the boat, with muc'
difficulty, managed to haul it j
on the lower deck with a hawse
and capstan.
The monster measured 40 fee

Gated it 20 her majesty, Victoria,
queen cf Grca2 Britain and Ireland

this tree, inscribed with letters Of
gold as souvenirs Of the occasion,
we're sent to the august lady whose
birthday they commemorated.
In due course Of time formal
and courteous acknowledgment
was received from the secretary of
the queen. The English journals
commented at come length on this
manifestation Of international
friendship.

from the old wcr!d was brought
across the sea by the most emf
nent of English jurists, Lcrd Rus
sell.
On the 10th of last June Queen
Victoria entered upon the sixtieth
year of her reign. If she lives
through this year she will have
reigned longer than any other
English sovereign.
During this reign the doninions
have Increased until they now COW
