MoonIight Excursions.

Every night of this week there have been from one to five bay excursions run to the life saving station, where surf bathing Is enjoyed in the Gulf of Mexico. Large tugs with huge barges in tow take several hundred people across the bay. and at times there are considerably over 100 persons disport- ing themselves in the surging pillows of the Gulf. Hours are spent at the station, and a more heaIthfuI pastime cannot be dreamed of than that of bathing in the surf. At least that is the way the Pensacola people think about 1t, anyway.

Two negroes remained in the burning mine after all others had been drawn out, tneir purpose being to save the mules if possible. Later one of the negroes de- cioed to come to the surface, the atmos- pnere becoming choking, and he was drawn up. Efforts were then made to nave the other negro come up, but he refused to do so, apparently not realiz- ing fully the danger of his situation.
 This morning the fire in the mine was extinguished and searching parties began to explore the mine to see whether or not there had been any fatalities, and also to ascertain the extent of the dam age One of these parties found the body of Gildill. He was lying face down. ward and had been suffocated. The searching parties are still in the mine
 The mine is badly damaged but it can be repaired and the work of repair will probably begin as soon as possible.

Character building.

Character is the wool Of honor from
which coat Of mail can be woven that
the swiftest arrow OF shame or the
kcenest knife OF disrepute cannot
pierce. Every thought that enters our
mind. every act. we 10 and every word
we utter adds a link 10 the golden
Chain OF character. The strength OF a
steam engine can be estimated TO with
in an ounce OF its limit. but II is i'm
possible to estimate the force OF no.
ble character. The hardest hearts are
softened and the most repulsive dlspo-
sitiOns become fascinating. Our fail
ures and our successes help to form
reputation that may be destroyed by
an external force. but the destruction
OF a character can only be effected bys
some internal force.-Our Boys Maga-

The value Of leguminous plants
as soil renovaters has long been rec
ognized. Their superior value in
this respect is due to the fact that,
with the proper bacteria in the soil,
they are able to use atmospheric nj
trogen. When the proper bacteria are
in the soil nodules or tubercles form
on the roots of the plant. The abb
sence of nodules on the roots of
these plants indicates the absence
of these nitrogen fixing bacteria,
and incubation is then necessary.
Soils that have never grown leg
luminous crops frequently lack these
organisms, 1t is almost certain
that a large portion of the wheat
