 As pleasant an amusement and as re- freshing a Advertisement as this vicinity has ever had the good fortune to enjoy is "The Old Mill'' or Aquarama, which opened at Sayin Rock yesterday afternoon. A trip through the mill is one every person should take-young, middle-aged or old. It is good for all. and one that for novelty and interest cannot be excelIed by any shore or country attraction. There are only about a dozen "old Mills'' in the coun- try and Savin Rock is lucky enough to have the latest. the largest and the most up-to-date Of them all.
 If you have the blues take a trip through The Old Mill;'' If you have a headache from the heat or the glare of tue sun, take a trip through .The Old Mill" if the children are fretty, if ahubby'' is grouty. if you want to for get all, your troubles go through .''The Old MilI,,1 and it will alleviate or cure them all. .The Old Mill" is a product of inventive genius. It is something that even President Roosevelt acknowl- edged he could not invent. It is a pat ent "cure-all'' for ills. It is as good and effective for the doctor, the pastor, the skilled workman or the laborer. It is good for the baby, the grown-up children and paradise for lovers and this was the general verdict of those who rushed to it as soon as it was opened.
 This first of Sayin Rock attractions represents an investment by the pro- moters of something like s10,00O, In the trip you ride nearly 2.OOO feet. which seems almost mile, and it takes five minutes to sail through and they seem an hour. Th.s is all due to illusion. One might ask, And what is this new amusement wonder?
 The mill stands just to the left as you enter the grove on the cars. Right in front as you mount the entrance to take your ride Is a great revolving mill wheel requiring an electric motor of over ten- horse power to drive, which sends a torrent of water rushing through the channels of the mill. This rapidly re- volving wheel is the means of locomo- ton for the boats which sail neaceful- ly through the myriad Of attractions. Each boat. holds six grown persons. They are rooIny, there is no danger of their tipping and seating yourself with grouD os ladies or children, or with your sweetheart you leave the en- trance of the Mill and are soon drifting on in the direction of gloomy cave You reach the mouth of the yawning aperture with many expressions of de- light Tn moment you discover another boat coming right toward you and a crash seems inevitable. It is all over in an instant, however, for you glide around corner and in front of a great mirror which had reflected your own boat approaching.
 On you go through subterraneous passage profusely banked on either side with large reefs and hills of coral From this the smoothly flowing water takes your craft into an opening. seemingly a wide river, where a beautiful land- scape looms up and where later rabbits and other animals will frisk about. Fur ther on you are swallowed up by a deep grotto lined with gold and studded with glistening jewels which blaze under the rays of electric lights with such inten- sity as to almost bewilder you. Out of the grotto you sail and into forest of fresh, fine palms and before you can recover from the surprise Of this para disc you are carried into Devils Cave. Monster serpents of almost unimagin- able description, numerous Mephistoes sand grotesaue figures; and, to add to the weird effect bright colored fire and many oolored incandescent globes heighten the Illusion. Through the serpentine river you float and quickly reach the ice cavern. Here the very Ycene is cooling. Icebergs dot the course, Tlaciers and snow capped mountains ap- bear in the distance and icicles range Ehickly overhead. Other pretty scenes greet the party. Half way through chimes break the stiffness of the ride; aere there is scene of The Old Ken lucky Home and further on An In- gk1ian Camp and other southern and
