tuild its extensive terminals here.
Long Point. ten miles east of the old
town of st. Andrews, has been chosen
as the terminal, the town has been
surveyed and plated, and a corpora
ton with fully paid up capital OF
one hundred thousand dollars has
been organized to handle the real es-
tate and improvements alone.
Long Point has more than a mile
and half of water front, and at
most places a large ship can lie
within a few feet of the beach. On
the west side of this point will be
situated the immense wharves and
terminal facilities of the road While
the interior of the Point is laid on
after the fashion of modern city
with a broad street lying all around
the waterfront and the interior
streets curving to conform with the
natural curve of the point. Several
beautiful sand bottom bayous project
themselves through the residence por-
ton of the town site, and on their
high oak-grown bluffs will be erect
eni some of the finest mansions In the
South.
Arrangem ants have been practlcai-
" completed with leading Chautau
qua association for the establishment
of a Chautauqua here, and 1t is
planned to hold the first session dur
ing the late winter and early spring
OF 1907. Inquiries concerning home
sites and business lots are coming IN
from all quarters. and as soon as the
lots are put upon the market there
will be a grand rush.
Many Advantages.
Long Point has many natural adj
yantages which make 1t the most de-
sirable town-site on the entire bay,
There were only three locations that
could be obtained. and of the three
this was chosen as the only one where
the titles are clear enough to warrant
rhat feeling of security so necessary
to permanent growth. Attorneys for
the corporation which has charge OF
the real estate here have thoroughly
examined the titles to all property
embraced in our town-site and pro-
nounce it absolutely good.

the gulf there is fourteen feet of water
at mean tide, and the bar is very mar
row. This depth is natural, there
never having been any dredging of
any kind. Inside the bay there is am
pie land-locked anchorage for the
floating commerce of the world. and
it has been estimated by government
experts that an expenditure of less
than one hundred thousand dollars
will secure thirty feet of water on
the bar.
The New Railroad.
The Birmingham, Columbus & St
Andrews Railroad, the southern por-
ton of which is now rapidly pushing
from Chipley TO this place, passes
directly through the sixty miles of
forest lying between here and the p

The Panama Canal is now as GER

reading off of the signals his active

of success or failure for the venture of
the afternoon. 1t was high water about
3 o'clock, and, In his judgment, with
the wind in its present quarter, about
northwest by west, the cross seas
which would sweep the reef and engulf
the lighthouse at half tide would rem
der 1t wildly impossible for any raft
ever built by mans hands to live in the
immediate vicinity of the rock.
However. the issue lay with others
now. He knew that they would do all
that brave men would dare. He was
tempted to make known the inspiring
news to all hands, but refrained, be-
cause he feared ultimate failure. Be-
meath his feet was a human volcano.

So the apathetic multitude in his

THAT'S true enough" he agreed,
though he wondered why she raised no
question concerning the message she
wished him to convey to Mr.. Trail.
Had she forgotten the urgency of her
words overnight? He had carried her
instructions quite faithfully to Brand
and the latter smiled at the fantasy.
'Time enough to think of such things
when we are assured Of the lady's de-
parture," he said, and they left 1t at
that.
Thinking to interest her, Pyne told
her of the crowd on the Falcon.

SCIENCE REVEALS A

Prof. Elmer Gates, of Washington, d.
c., who has been experimenting with
light rays, has found about five Octaves
above violen a form of waves similar to
X-rays.
Under these rays living objects
throw a shadow which exists only as
long as there is life in the object. A
live rat was placed in a Theoretically
sealed tube and held in the path of the
rays in front of a sensitized screen. SO
long as the rat was alive it threw a
shadow. When it was killed it became
suddenly transparent.
Here" said the lecturer, there
was strange phenomenon. At the
very instant the rat became transpar-
ent shadow of exactly the same shape
was noticed to pass, as it were, out of
and beyond the glass tube and vanished
as it passed upward on the sensitized
screen.

JENSEN WON first
GAME OF SEASON

The Fort Pierce and Jensen ball teams
fought their first battle of the season
yesterday afternoon on the Jensen dia-
mond. When the smoke cleared away
the score board showed 3 to 2 in favor
Of Jensen. 1t was holly contested
game all the way through, and as an
evidence of the grade of ball being
played in this neck of the woods one
only needs to refer to the score and the
fact that the Fort Pierce team was
minus four of its regular players, in
GLIDING the best battery, and the Jen-
sen manager informs us his team was
also weak.
Judge James +. Andrews, catcher
for Fort Piarce, met with painful
accident in the third inning, when he
was hit in the face by a swiftly pitched
ball, resulting in a broken nose and a
badly bruised eye.
Three launch parties from Fort Pierce
attended the game, among whom were
numerous candidates intent on cOmbin-
ing business with pleasure.
Cocoa is the next proposition our
boys go up against. This game will be
played on the home grounds on April
%, and the home team will be out in
full force and put out it's strongest
lineup.
