1t happens that Higgins only cxtin-

Nothing but n close examination or the

is the way In which he has attained,

A WOMAN'S RAILROADS.

System OF Railways in Il Florida City
Owned and Managed by a Woman.
There is an electric system of rail
ways in Tampa, Fla, which should pos
sess more than ordinary interest for the
ladies throughout the country from the
fact that it is practically owned and
operated by q woman. Her name is
Mrs. Chaplin, and there is not 4 detail of
the operation Of the railway that she is
not thoroughly familiar with. The sys-
TEN which she owns is practically belt
line, and every place of interest in
Tampa is touched by it. Some Of the
routes are of much beauty, and one
which runs from the heart OF the city
to Ballast point, Il distance of six miles,
is full of picturesque and other attrac-
tive features. On this particular line
observation or double deck cars are
used, and nearly everyone takes seats
on the upper deck under an awning.
On account of the many curves in the
route the cars are run at slow rate,
which is matter of satisfaction, as it
enables the passengers to more thor
oughly enjoy the beauties Of the pine
woods, the destinations of the orange
groves and the glimpses of Tampa bay,
which are obtained through the woods
every few minutes.
For some time it is said Mrs. Chaplin
has been endeavoring to extend her Bal
last point route to Port Tampa, but
thus far difficulties in connection with
the right of way have prevented her
from carrying out her desires. At Bal
last point, near which she has a fine
residence, Mrs. Chaplin owns consider
able property, and here she has erected
an artistic pavilion Of the Chinese style
of architecture, which is used by dane
ing and pleasure parties from Tampa.
Mrs. Chaplin not only owns practically
all the stock of the Tampa street rail
way system, but she oversees all the de-
tails of its operation and herself di-
reefs them. She owns handsome car,
which she calls Fair Florida, and on this
she takes daily trips all over her lines
and from it she directs the work of the
road. While not a young woman. Mrs.
Chaplin is said to be still iF the prime of
life. She has a wonderfulcapacity for
business, and possesses strong powers
of endurance. For those who are Curl
GUS to know, it may be stated that Mrs.
Chapin's husband is living, but that eN-
cept temporarily at the present time,it
is stated, he takes no part in the run
ming Of the road.-Philadelphia Public

Texas contains @65,7 SO square miles.
Europe, exclusive of Russia and the
British isles, contains 1,4SS,965 square

For a short distance lion or tiger

The popularity of a cork leg is that

ficient for practical purpose.
The sacred fires of India have not all

with sandalwood and other fragrant
materials, combined with very dry fuel.

covered q possible 10000 square miles.
To this destruction of winged insects
we must add at least 10000 eggs that
have also been destroyed.
"To say that all this reduction in the
number of locusts in the country means
nothing would be ridiculous in the
extreme. Why, if this same class of
warfare can be kept up during the next
few months-and 1 cannot see why it
cannot-the pest will be nearly or quite
in the power of its natural enemies in
side of another year. This, too, with
out disease.
"But this is not enough. We should
see that it is not only brought within
the control of it's enemies but that it
is entirely exterminated from the coun-
try, so that its natural enemies can de-
vote their attention to some of the
other locusts or grasshoppers that are
showing a tendency to increase in va
rious parts of the republic, and of
which six or seven kinds have already
come to my notice"
From the study of the habits of the
locusts, Prof. Bruner has recommended
that the destruction be gctively car
ried on when the yours are just
Matched, as they then pile up about
roots of plants on the ground. Wire
brushes, whips, fails, paddles and
shovels are quite effective, as also are
torches of rags saturated with oil or
similar appliances. Driving focks of
sheep or horses over a field filed with
the young insects or even older ones is
also practiced. Barriers of zinc and
smooth substances that the young To-
Gusts cannot climb and trenches and
traps for catching them to await de-
struction are also commended.
The professor also says that the
natural enemies of the locusts, the
birds, frogs, toads, snakes, lizards,
armadillos, moles, flies, wasps and
beetles, must also be encouraged and
not destroyed. The professors also ex-
perimenting with three diseases which
attack the locusts, and which may by
propagation help to thin out the pests.

EARLY FRENCH EXPLORERS.

Others in the Great Lakes.

Others in the Great Lakes.
Jacques Cartier, who shipped from
st. Malo in 1884, explored the coast of
Newfoundland and made the circuit
of the Gulf of st. Lawrence; and he
did much else, too, for New France, in
opening up negotiations with the many
tribes of Indians who thronged thou
sands strong, and friendly, from all the
regions in and about Quebec and Mon
treal and Ottawa and Kingston. An
other mariner of St. Malo-Francis
Greve-began the colonization OF the
land. About 1870, in France, Samuel
de Champlain was born; and when lie
reached the age of early manhood, he,
too, Joined in the new-world eXplora-
ton in the region above the great lakes.
The kings Of France were much inter-
ested in the new land, and did ell in
their power not only to explore the re-
rion, but to colonize and develop it.
Champlain, in 1915, made an expedition
up the Ottawa river, and penetrated as
far as into Georgian bay, thus touching
the waters OF Lake huron.
In 1918 Etienne Brule, an old inter
prefer, came into Champlain's camp
with the news of the discovery of Lake
Superior. Lake Erie, with Ontario, was
probably discovered some time earlier
than this. Nicollet, in 1854, started in

shores of Huron, and at last found him

But as these French explorers con-

ilreamed-of possibilities of empires, the
English began to take deep interest in
the region-an interest little less
marked than,that they were taking in
their schemes of colonization in Nir-
Einia and Massachusetts. Again and
again through the years that follow,

mony, but tangling in a wretched snarl,
