Jacksonville Metropolis: The matter Of
Kidding, not only our own inland waters
but also those of nearly the entire South
of the rapidly multiplying masses of water
hyacinths is of vital interest to The public
whose inland and coastwise commerce is
seriously affected by the plants, which a :
most obstruct navigation The MetrOp-
oils thinks the above difficult problem has
apparently, been solved by the inventive
mind of one OF our citizens, Mr.. 10 eph c.
Ligeour, whose successful experiments in
Hogan's creek have been closely watched
| by many of our citizens Through the
efforts Of the Florida delegation, with the
cooperation of the Board Of Trade and
Jacksonville business men, Congress has
made an appropriation to be used in de-
stroying the hyacinths. The only official
means thus used are mechanical ones
which entails heavy expense, is not thor
| ough, slow. and must be, from obvious rea-
sons, continued indefinitely. The proces
of Mr. LigeOur, with whom is associated
Mr.. 7. ]. Kidwel, is the preparation Of a
| chemical liquid, containing no minerals,
which are often inimical to animal life, and
which, when applied to surface Of the wa
ter, on which it floats, utterly destroys all
| plant life coming in contact with It.
