BAD COUNTRY ROADS ARE HAVING A

dried fruits Canned goods rule too high in

FLORIDA'S CLEAR SPRINGS.
They Are Remarkable for Their Size
and Purity of Water.

WASHINGTON, March 12-Nearly all
the streams of Florida originate in large
springs of remarkably clear water. Some
of these springs form lakes of considerable
dimensions, while others flow off directly
i'm bold streams. The water is clear
that the most minute objects, even on the
bottom, are readily distinguished, and
large streams of crystal water can be seen
gushing up through the white-coored lime
stone beds beneath. At points remote from
these inlets the bottom is covered with
the long green moss that grows only in
pure spring water; beautiful fish OF many
varieties are also plainly visible. The out
lets of the springs are generally deep
narrow and rapid streams OF so much
Importance to Florida are these river-pro-
ducing springs that the United States Geo
logical Survey. in it's investigation of the
countrv's water resources, has made a Sc
ries of measurements of their discharge.
One of the characteristic springs, which
was measured by photographer B. NJ.
Hall. of the Geological Survey, is Silver
spring near Ocala, in Marion county. II
is the head of the Oclawaha river and is
also the head of navigation, as steamboats,
come up the river into the spring and
have a regular landing wharf there. The
river flowing out of this spring was found
to be sixty feet wide. Ii had a mean
depth of eleven feet, a mean velocity of
one foot and quarter per second and a
discharge of sd cubic feet per second. The
spring basin is about thirty-five feet deep
and the temperature. late In December,
was seventy-two degrees F. Though the
water has a slight limestone taste. ii ap-
pears TO have no other mineral constitu-
ents and Is excellent for drinking.
