The throngs OF people that are com
ing to Florida this winter surpass any
thing ever before known in the history
of the State. Every hotel and board
ing house is filed to its capacity, and
in many places where there has been
numerous new hotels, boarding houses
and cottages erected for this winters
traffic, they are now crowded to their
utmost. The like has never been
known, and the severe cold that has
been experienced in the North TINS
winter will be the cause OF more peo-
nile coming here next winter. Out OF
the thousands who come many will be
looking for the most healthy location,
and Gainesville should now begin to
make room for them, as there is no
Mace in Florida that can back up her
assertions in regard to healthy loca-
ton better than Gainesville, with the
pure ozone and purest water in the
State.
with a number OF cottages for men
Of moderate means who come South
for their health in winter, we should
have five hundred more PEOPLE for four
months OF each year. Many will also
come here TO live permanently, where
they can enjoy good health.
The only objection many people have
TO locating in Florida for q permanent
residence, is the delusion that II is so
very hot in midsummer. When they
learn that the heat IS not more oppres-
sive here than in the North during the
summer. they will be content to re-
main here.
The time is ripe now to let the peo-
pie know what we have at Gainesville,
and the only way to do that is with
printers ink. Get busy now.

TrooD and the BowdoIn students.

John Troop, worthy citizen OF
Bath, Me-, in former times was a

in building many of the vessels for
which the shipping city is famous. 1t
was his custom to buy in the neigh
boring towns oxen that had become
run down by hard farm work, and,
after building them up by generous
feeding and careful handling in the
shipyard, to sell them to the local
butchers at good profit.

Mo SAFEGUARD for Dynamite.

The question has been asked whether
such substances as dynamite and giant
powder could be prepared for transpor-
tation in such a manner that they
would not explode.
DR.. Henry Lehman, the welE-
chemist was consulted on this subject
yesterday. He said that the idea was
feasible as regards gunpowder or
blasting powder. A certain percent
age OF sand added to the powder will
cause it, when ignited to burn slowly
instead Of exploding.
1t had been suggested that dynamite
being a compound, might be shipped
in its separate component parts. which
should be put together at the place
where 1t is to be used.
THAT would not be practicable"
said DR.. Lehman. Dynamite is
merely nitroglycerin taken up and abb
sorbed in a form Of silicon Nitro
glycerin proper is liquid and 1t Is
very unsafe to ship It in its original
form. 1t is made into dynamite for
safety and convenience in handling
and carrying. The nstroglycerin,
without which 1t is nothing. could not
be economically compounded where IL
is used"
