"A Question the Governor
Did Not Answer.

In the notable debate ON the Ever
glades drainage question between Gov
ernor Broward and Hon. Jno. 8. Beard
heard in this city last Monday might,
Ut is generally conceded that the gov
ernar had the best of tor he at
least carried very large majority Of
the crowd with him-and that we sup
pose was the object of the debate.
There Is one question, however-and
ct is very important one-which Gov
ernon Broward failed to answer. The
proposition was put up to him by Mr..
Beard that, while the title to those
Everglades lands is in dispute, while
al Is now matter OF litigation I'm the
courts, it would be unwise to spend
the public money in draining them un-
til their ownership is absolutely set
tied. ',.,
This, as we said, is a very impor
tant point and, in fact, the main point
in the whole drainage proposition. No
private individual would improve
piece Of property unless ne felt reas-
Dnably sure that he had or would Sc
cure good title to it, and the state in
this matter should be guided by the
same business. principle which bt1si-
ness man would follow in a familiar
case where his own personal bust

$50 far as we could observe, the near
est the governor came to answering
the question was his contention that,
assuming his own position in refer
ence to the states title to the lands to
be the correct one. the supreme court
would decide in the states favor.
This answer is hardly a satisfactory
one and does not really answer the
question.
We should like very much to have
the governor make plain straightfor-
ward statement OF his position on this
phase of the proposition. 1t is, in The
Journals opinion, the one strong card
which the opposition to the drainage
scheme have to play, and thus far we
have not seen a satisfactory answer
to It.
We do not say that this point alone
should determine the whole question
of supporting or opposing the drain
age amendment, but we do say that it
is a question that will cut large fig
ure in the case and it ought TO be an

Lizards Tails.

Certain lizards are remarkable for
the fragility of their tails, although
this weakness is not always the draw
back that may be imagined. The dia-
mond tailed gecko, for instance, fire.
quently owes its existence to the readi-
ness with which it's caudal appendage
can be snapped off. This reptile, which
will perch upon a rock head downward
and tail in the air, is liable to be prey
ed upon by hawks. One Of these for
midable birds will swoop down upon
a lizard and seize what it takes to be
the head, but is really the tail. The
brittle tail snaps off, and the gecko
wriggles away, not much the worse, to
grow another.

E1fxfr of Youth.

In former times elder flowers were
treasured not only by lovers of hedge
row beauty but by those who desired
to preserve their own beauty and
youth. According to the seventeenth
century prescription the elder flowers
were to be gathered Oh midsummer
day, powdered and put into borage
water, which was to be drunk daily for
a month, the first thing in the morning
and the last thing at night. This was a
much priced elixir of youth. By COM
mon consent there has always been
something supernatural about the elder
tree. In Denmark it is protected by
the elder mother, without whose leave
it is dangerous to pluck the flower. In
Germany the hat should be taken off
to it. And in England it has been
v~ariously considered the tree of the
cross and the tree upon which Judas
hanged himself, to be treated with
reverence or fear ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The CaIoric Paradox.

Freezing Is usually associated with
cold, but water can be frozen on n red
hot plate. This pretty experiment has
rightly been called the ealoric para
dox. II a drop of water is placed on a
redhot or white hot metal plate 1t
does not suddenly flash into steam I'M
der the influence Of the great heat. 1t
does not even boil. 1t simply evapo-
rates quietly and slowly as 1t rolls
about the plate. Now, suppose that
the drop on the plate Is a volatile liq-
uld like sulphurous acid. 1t will evap-
crate, and this evaporation will pro-
duce cold. Let a drop of water fall
in the sulphurous acid drop, and 1t will
be frozen In spite of the heat. NJ. BOu-
tigny thus froze water on a white hot
platinum capsule. Faraday carried
this remarkable experiment ever fur
Their. Pouring some ether and solldi-
fed carbonic acid gas on a redhOt plat
mum capsule, he formed a spheroldal
mass which e%vaporated very slow
ly. He then brought some mercury
into contact with it, and this vas In
stantly frozen. Now, mercury requires
a temperature of 40 degrees below zero
to solidify it, and here 1t was frozen on
redhot platinum.

giving as his reason that erasures could
more readily be made. After satisfy
ing himself with a sentence written in
this way he would, with a soft pencil,
transfer the writing to paper, and final
ly, when everything pleased him, he
copied the entire manuscript in ink
with the precision of al ~engrossing
clerk. 1t is declared by those who were
personally acquainted with General
Wallace that "Ben-Hur' was written
and rewritten at least thirty times, and
that when the final copy vas sent to
the publishers there was neither a cor
rection nor an erasure throughout the
manuscript. The printer set up the
copy exactly as it a written, and the
author himself never corrected a proof
before the book was sent tt press.
