ing the winter season. visit this part Of
Florida. One mile west of Gainesville
is the Green sink. containing a consid-
cradle volume of water. in which IL
has been the custom for many years of
colored people to battle. and many un-
timely deaths have occurred in this
sink by drowning. A notable sink is
that in which Hogtown creek empties.
about five miles southwest of this city.
Hogtown creek is quite a stream
which runs into this sinkhole and grad
ually disappears through a subter-
ranesn outlet. At this point quite a
lake is formed. which is well filled with
all species of fish known to inland
Florida waters. The natural wells.
which are numerous in the western
part of Alachua county. are but sink
hole reaching to large underground
passages through which hundreds of
thousands of acres of and are drained.
The natural bridge over the Santa
Fe river, in the northeastern part of
Alachua county, is one of Florida's
unique and most interesting scenes,
presenting the spectacle of a large
stream sinking from view for a distance
of several miles. All the streams in
the San Felaska hummock. a large
body of land A few miles west of
Gainesville. disappear into under
ground passages. Most of the sinks
are dry, but hundreds of them are well
filled with water flowing from springs.
The depth of the sinkholes varies all
the way from 25 feet down to whe no
bottom can be found.
The water in a sinkhole three miles
west of Winter park was measured a
short time since and IL was found to
be $50 feet deep. The hole is l25 to $50
yards from side to side. and about 40
feet in depth to the surface of the
water at the bottom. From the top
of the bank the water has the deep blue
tint of the ocean The banks are so
steep as to render descent and ascent
somewhat difficult.

FLORIDA FULL OF SINkHoLEs.
The States Chief Attraction to Visitors
From the North.

From the Gainesville Sun.
The sinks of Florida are numerous
and one of the states most attractive
features to strangers visiting this part
of the country. Around Alachua lake.
three miles south of Gainesville, there
are hundreds of sinkholes of various
sizes and depths. 1t Is apparent from
the existence of so many sinks that
the whole country is honeycombed with
subterranean passages. Portions Of
the land in that region nave been sink
ing for ages. Many of the sinks have
trees growing in them, the dimensions
of which indicate that they must be
centuries old. There is no telling at
What moment the earth may give way
and a new sink be found. Only a few
years ago the ground under the track
of the Florida Southern railroad. near
Alachua lake. gave way. and in the
darkness of night a train ran into a
hole 20 or so feet deep. The train was
completely wrecked. but fortunately all
aboard escaped death.
There are sinks in various parts of
Alachua county. but they are more
numerous in what the Indians call "Big
Jug" or Alachua, meaning the deep
sinkhole through which the water in
the lake at different periods has run
out, leaving an immense or
many thousands of acres of prairie
land. Many years ago several acres of
ground on the public road leading from
this city to Newmansville sank and
formed a lake. in which the tops of tall
trees could be seen eneat the surface
of the water. This spot is known as
the Blue sink. Seven miles northwest
Of Gainesville is a mammoth sink
known as the DEVILS mill hopper. IL
is a great natural curiosity. and is a

TRl-coLoR FUNCTIONS THE LATEST
Dinner and Birthday Parties mt Which
Patriotism Finds Vent.

The hostess of an inventive turn re-

while at the same time extending her
hospitality and showing her patriot
ism. A dinner given on the south side
during the past week cleverly exempli-
fled the possibilities of the tri-color dec
orations and showed what ingenuity
and thought can devise in hat line.
First of all the table was spread with
snowy damask and the china used was
white bordered with bands of deep
azure. In the center of the table was
laid a silk flag. and on il was placed
a large blue bowl of Bohemian glass.
filled with red and white carnations.
At h four corners of the table were
tacke ~bonbonieres in the form of
miniature projectiles tied together with
broad red. white and blue ribbon, ana
at every corner was a name card en-
bossed with the national emblem, and
a long roll tied with the tricolor.
The Roman punch was served i'm
cups Of ice colored red, white or blue.
and served in regular rotation to the
guests as the colors came OF the flag.
The ices for the ladies were i'm the
form of soldier boys. each one bearing
a chocolate gun. while for the men
We're provided very realistic looking
cannon, each supplied with a goodly
stack of chocolate cannon balls. A
pound cake stuck full of tiny Amer

union-was the piece de resistance Of
the desert, tied with broad t~ri-colored

entertainment on a less expensive
scale. Windows and mantelpiece were
hung with flags. flags were fastened at
right angles from the chandelier. and
depending beneath hat were ropes Of
smilax garlanded with red. white and
blue ribbon. A birthday cake in the
center of the table bore a significant
number of red. white and blue candles.
while stretched the full length of the
table was a scarf of crepe paper in the
tricolor. which made a pretty and in
expensive decoration. At the women's
places were punches of red and white
carnations tied with blue. and at the
