Dralninu the Everglades.

After many years of discussion
without any real action. the state Of
Florida has at last commenced the
work OF draining the great submerged
tract known as the Everglades. This
is to be done by cutting a series Of
canals leading into rivers on both the
gulf and Atlantic slopes. The sec
ton TO be drained comprises about
3,000.000 acres, upon which there is
very little timber or brush, conse-
quently the work of reclamation will
be comparatively easy, and II is ex-
pected to have several thousand acres
ready for cultivation and settlement
by December of this year. Owing to
the latitude and the great richness OF
the soil. this land will be Of great
value when thoroughly drained.

possible for the sun TO shine on the

deluged by rain. The heavily laden
rain clouds are only about 500 feet

During his last expedition to that re-
gion he was in camp with a friend
from Minnesota. Toward morning,
says the New Yorker, he awoke shiv-

low. His companion was fast asleep.
II isn't nice to get out of a warm
blanket to roll frosty logs to the fire,
so the willy New Yorker gave his
friend a kick and then pretended to be
asleep. There was no response and
presently the man from New York
tried another kick.

White bread is rapidly becoming the
bread of the entire civilized world, and
its use is increasing every year. Mill
ing, a Liverpool journal, says:
"The change is becoming more pro
nounced every year. but as the wheat
production in the rye-consuming coun-
tries does not increase pro rata. it is
throwing more demand on wheat from
other growers. In the far east the
tendency to replace rice by wheat is
another instance of the triumph of the
latter. As knowledge grows dietary
customs give place to more enlight
ened foods. Growers Of rice and rye
will become wheat producers, but
probably not as fast as the consumers
change from one to the other food"

MOST TERRIBLE OF DEATHS.
Spiders Bite Probably the wsrst
Known TO Scientists.

What IL the most terrible death In
the world? The following are few
OF the most terrible known to mortal
man. but as to which of those given
is the worst 1t would probably be hard
TO say.
One of the most agonixing deaths
known Is caused by a small black
spider half the size OF q pea. II lives
In Peru and South Australia. but a
few specimens have reached Europe
and America in ship loads of lumber.
Not long ago dock laborer while un-
loading a vessel In the Victoria docks
felt one upon his hand. This death
dealer dug its fangs deep into the
mans flesh. and as soon as the poison
began to work he tainted with pain.
He was dead In three days. This
Spiders venom scorches up the blood
vessels and spreads through all the
tissues. causing the most fearful ag-
ony human being can have to bear.
The worst of II Is that the victim
lives at least two days. The spider
is generally known as the SPECIFY"
When a man who knows what the
bite means becomes the victim he
generally blows out his brains.
Another fearful death Is caused by
eating a grain called "bhat." This
sometimes gets mixed with rice. which
1t resembles. The plant grows In the
far east, and a few grains OF II will
drive person into a state OF violent
mania The victim becomes drowsy
at first and afterwards hilarious; then
he goes raving mad, tears himself to
pieces with his fingers and bites
mouthfuls out of his flesh. This grain
is found only In the remotest parts
OF the east, but both white men and
natives are killed by II occasionally.
for the plant grows in with the rice
crops, and there is no way OF telling
them apart, except when the grain Is
dried 1t comes out in sort OF brick
red color.
There is a South American plant, or
vine, called the "knotter," which fas-
tens about any living thing that
comes within reach. twining its long
tentacles about a man as a devilhsh
might. These tentacles scar and
burn into the flesh like white-hot
wires, and the victim Is dragged into
the heart Of the foliage. and his life
slowly drained as the spider sucks
the blood of the fly. Those who have
strong instincts OF cruelty. sometimes
force a dog or other animal into the
grip OF the "knotter" to watch the
effects. which are too horrible to de
scribe In detail.

repeatedly playing a game very much
