COAST RAILWAY EXTENSION

! all of the attention that vast fortune
| has afforded.
| The rapid evolution from primitive
| unknown little clusters of cabins ana
| boarding houses scattered among the
| cocoanut and palm groves in southern
| Florida to perhaps the most consp1-
| cuous and magnificent winter resorts
! in the country, has been a striking
example of modern progress and en-
terprise. The change has been effected
| in twelve years.
| Late in the eighties, Henry NJ. Flagler
| began to build a railroad south from
| st. Augustine along the Atlantic coast.
! The pathway of steel was pushed down
| through the pine and palm forests into
the jungle-lands. Resorts and towns
Immediately sprang up along the way
A chain of hotels costing millions, and
of their kind the most luxurious in the
| country, were constructed; and around
them, in several instances, cottage
colonies were started, to which came
wealthy pleasure-seekers who spend
| their winters in the semi-tropical
! climate After the railroad had been
extended to Miami Bay, and after Mi
ami-called the Magic City" because
of its rapid growth-had risen on the
! palnl-dotted shore, everyone thought
that there would be a halt. But il
soon appeared that the halt was a long
way off, and that the most imposing
features of Mr. Flagler's plans for
Florida were yet TO De developed.
With an immense interchange of the
products of the northern and southern
parts of the Western Hemisphere pass
ing through its harbor, Key West will
became a great port. A main highway
| of trade will stretch through Florida.
| The commerce of the New World will
be stimulated.
Again reverting to the wonder of the
new Flagler extension, it has been said
| that E. H. Hartman regarded the
Lucin cutoff across Great Salt Lake
| in Utah-built for the purpose Of elimf-
mating about 100 miles of track On the
| Union Pacific-aS the monumental
| achievement of his life. Engineering
| experts, however, assert that the feat
| of bridging the keys is a much greater
one: and economic authorities declare
| that no similar enterprise of modern
times with the exception of the digging
| of the Panama Canal, can be compared
! with it in commercial benefits to the
| United States.

SIR KNIGHT
WM.H. MANEELEY
SOD Degree of Mary Commandery, Phil
adelphia, Receivers from Br1ght's
Disease.

During conclave week in san Fran
cisco. Sir Knight VIM. H. Maneeley
of 1904 n. Seventeenth street, Phila-
delphia of Mary Commandery, called
at the office of the Jno. j. Fulton co
to report his recovery.
He stated that he had both Bright $
Disease and Diabetes for 9 years ana
had gotten so low he could not speak
for a half hour al time, and had TO
be nut in ice packs. A leading physl-
clan sent him word that he had had
several cases recover under a prepara-
ton made in California called Fulton
Compound ManeeIey sent for it. The
third night he got the first natural
sleep in months and Improvement was
then gradual but continuous, until he
is now the picture of health.
Among other wellknown Ph1ladeI-
phians who had recovered he mention
ed Richard Filbert. Mrs. F.. T. Snow
of 1915 Columbia avenue; also two resi-
dents of Kensington, whom he told OF
it: also the wife of a physician ana
several others. Masons will know how
to approach Mr.. Maneeiey to get the
eternal truth as to the genuineness OF
this profound discovery.
We again announce to the world the
durability of chronic Bright's Disease
and Diabetes in fully 81 per cent. of all
cases.
When to suspect Bright's Disease

ankles, hands or eyelids; dropsy; Kid

PLANTS THAT ARE
BECOMING EXTINCT.
BY Henry Correvon.
M * 4 X X 4 X X 4 X 4 X 4 X <

One of the facts best known In the
scientific world concerns the rapid
diminution of the huber of individuals
in species. In the animal world there
is a gradual extinction of families. The
buffalo, for example, which was very
nemurous only a few decades ago,
has Iamost entirely disappeared. The
beaver is another example of a
slowly disappearing species and the
famous bouquetin, or wild goat of the
Alps, is confined to a certain region
where it is considered royal game, since
no one but the King of Italy is allow
ed to hunt it.
In the domain of plants, the danger
of extinction among certain old, feeble
or transitory species is even greater.
AS soon as species nears it's decline
it lose the power of battling against
the Entertainments of newcomers,
young and full of force, and it becomes
necessary for man to be the protector.
In Brazil, where large tracts of forest
land had to be cleared for replanting,
many species of orchids that had
grown on the branches had to be de-
stroyed. One small tree on the island
of st. Helena, the only one left of the
vast family of Composees, owes It's
preservation to the fact that Napoleon
used to sit in it's shade. The author1-
ties of the Royal Kew Gardens have
tried in vain to propag gate it; cuttings
have been transplanted without any re-
suits because the species has lost its
reproductive power.
Many effete species belong to the
fauna of the islands of the Atlantic
In the mountainous regions of Tene-
rife. 5000 feet above the sea-level, and
on the Isle of Palma, some of these
rare species have sought refuge near
inaccessible walls. One belonging to
the coniferous family has an aromatic
essence that yields most delicious
perfume. more agreeable than the es-
sence of the Virginia juniper tree
This particular tree must be very old,
for a noted botanfst, DR.. Perez, VINO
went to Teneriffe to try to protect and.
if possible, to propagate this tree, DID
not succeed in getting the seeds 10
sprout.
Botanists are very much interested

portion of the passenger, fast freight,
and express business between Cuba and
the United States will be secured.
Three years is the time allowed for
the completion and actual operation OF
rolling stock over the Key West ex-
tension. Engineers who have to deal
with big problems in railroad building,
and VINO have been informed of Mr..
Flagler's plans, have unhesltatlngly
said that it is one of the most dIfh-
cult feats to be undertaken by any
transportation system IN recent years.
1t will afford one of the most convln-
cling examples in the entire country of
the value of acknowledgements con-
struction. The idea of riding FOR nearly
a hundred miles, the greater part of the
tourney almost in contact with water,
while but short distance away the
foam tossed combers of the Atlantic
ocean and Gulf of Mexico can be seen
from the ear windows, is, in itself,
sufficiently unique to attract passen-
gers to the land of sunshine and flow
ers.
The mileage of the Florida East Coast
Railway at the present time is 501.S6
miles. When the Key West extension
of I26 miles is completed, the system
will have a total mileage of 62S. The
value of the road is indeterminate,
since its owners furnish no financial
statements. It's stock IS in few hands,
and changes of ownership are almost
unheard of; it is not quoted in the
financial reports, and its profits and
earnings are of little concern to out
siderS.

Coast Railway is one of the pretties'
