Several new pictures which have been

coast and down the eastern side of the
peninsula, thus reinforcing the native
sands of the State.
Toward the southern edge OF the
peninsula corals made reefs, and the
wide fats behind them were gradually
filed with silt from the waters Of the
central valley and limestone deposited
from the calciferous waters Of the
drainage, thus forming the vast
marches Of the Everglades. The sands
from the ssashore blew inland before
the trade winds, masking the original
topography, and raising here and there
substantial dunes. Then all was ready
for the advent Of man, attracted by
the wealth of fur, fish and fruit, who
should, in the lapse Of centuries, make
o garden Of the wilderness.
With the exception Of the gentle
elevation it would seem that the vol
canic disturbances Of the West Indian
region, and the geographic mountain
building forces of the continent have
alike passed by, or failed to reach: the
main area of the State, which has re-
NAMED in Tranquility, rarely much
higher than at the present time, and
remarkable as the sole portion Of the
United States where the country rock
is almost exclusively of organic origin,
and has been modified by solutionary
instead Of detrital agencies.
Such, in brief, is the geological his
tory of Florida and the source of its
phosphate wealth, as read from the
evidence of the rock. Though neces-
sarily in part hypothetical, no other
hypothesis in harmony with all the
facts has yet been proposed, and the
writer believes that future study will
hardly do more than confirm the details
of the processes whose bold outlines
have been. suggested here.

Hired Webster for q Week.

Of course Webster was in demand
by those who could afford to pay for
his services. 4 sharp Nantucket man
is said to have got the better Of the
great defender Of the Constitution in
an amusing way, however. He had a
small case which was to be tried in
Nantucket n week in June, and he
posted to Webster Office in great
haste. 1t vas q contest with a neigh
Dor over a matter Of considerable local
interest, and his pride as a ~litigant
was at stake. He told Webster the
particulars, and asked what he would
charge to conduct the case.
Why said Webster, "you cant
afford to hire me. ! should have to
stay down there the whole week, and
my fee would be more than the whole
case is worth. l couldn't go down
there for less than 1000. could try

IAN right, Mr.. Webster quickly

that they lay nearly I4,UOU, UUO, 600

The value Of the poultry meat each

VIA be Set Out Along the Line from Dick
inson to jamestown.
The Northern Pacific road will resume
in the coming few years the planting of
trees for snow breaks along the line Of
its road from jamestown to Dickinson
which was abandoned a few years ago.
Trees, properly planted at the right
places make the most effective snow
protection to the roadthat can be secured
and the road a number of years ago
started to carry out this work, but it was
abandoned. Recently the officials of the
road entered into communication with
Oscar Will of Bismarck relative to the
matter of resuming this work, and as a
result of the correspondence the work
will be. resumed at once, under the super
vision of Mr.. Will, who will furnish the
trees for the work and have active per-
sonal charge of their planting. Mr.. Will
will make a trip over that portion of the
road along which it is proposed to plant
the trees in the near future and arrange
for the planting of the trees, which will
be from the yonng trees secured in this
state. The trees that will be planted
will be those native to North Dakota,
ash, box elder and cottonwood and some
willow. The work of doing the blowing
will begin this fall and be continued next
fall until the land is prepared for the
planting. 1t is estimated the compile
ton of the work will take from three to
five years. The total acreage of trees
to be placed will be nearly $50 and the
number of trees that will be required
will be 100000, which will be furnished
by Mr.. Will.-Tribune.
