illuminated at night like a city street as
each of the spar fuoys along the Gedney
channel carries an electric light. The car
rent for these lights. as well as for some
others farther up the harbor, is furnished
from a generating station at Sandy Hook.
Part of the lights are supplied with a con-
tinuous current of 80 volts by means Of
nearly two miles of cable consisting of a
single conductor of seven-stranded copper
wires of No. Is gauge. covered with an in
sl!ator. ard protected by a double armor
OF steel wire The buoys along the Geiney
chani.ei are furnished with an alternating
current; of 1.H@ volts, probably the first
instance in which such current has been
used Tor this purpose. In the manufacture
of the six miles of cable for these lights
the use Of iron armor had to he dis
carIed, as with il the effects OF self-induc-

Rubber Trees in Florida.

FROM tie Florida Citizen
Those familiar with the southern portion
of Florida are aware of the fact that the

Many large trees grow on the east coast.

Der trees are known, but, as their useful
ness has not yet developed here, they are
very little noticed.
On the west coast the trees are abundant
ly prominent, and are an open bid for the
people of our state to investigate their
value. At this time. when the people are
looking for new avenues in natural prod
ucts of the soil to replace the orange cul-
ture, 1t would be reasonable to suppose
that they would utilize the wild rubber
tree. On any of the keys along the coast
one could find rubber plantation or estate
in an advanced stage of growth.

private, and when this Is done II
will be- found that II every avail
able ounce OF both metals Is coined
into dollars there will be no sur.
plus over and above the wants OF
trade and prosperity.
The issue is between the people
on one side, the producers OF
wealth and prosperity, and the
money interest, as distinguished
from other business, on the other
side. And as the money interest
is not the creator Of any wealth, II
should not be permitted to rule In
this matter, especially as Its ruling
is antagonistic to the interests Of
ALL OTHER PEOPLE.
Being such an issue, the people
cannot afford to surrender or post;
pone it. Their manhood and well
fare alike demand that it shall be-
fought out to the end, and as soon
as possible, and now Is the time to
make one mighty and united effort
for success.
But victory will never come 30

safety is for silver men TO vote on

the silver men stick to their creed
there will be clear and well-de-

the matter will be settled.
This course may divide parties,
but division of parties, II produc.

good Of the people, and in accord

There is no division among the
gold men. They are all for gold

division among the silver men.
They should stand united for silver
and silver men, fully pledged to
silver at all stages.
Discussing the probable candi-
dacies that will come before the
Chicago Convention, Mr.. Thomas
noted the fact that no pronoun ced
effort is being made by any one to
secure the nomination.
"What will be the use of making
a fight II both parties are for gold {"
said he. "There will be no issue
left for the Democracy. While /
am not fully satisfied with the
Wilson bill, yet II settles the tariff
question as far as the Democracy
is concerned. AT its very worst II
produces as much revenue as the

party does not declare for silver
there will be no issue upon which
