fellows have fought for their homes
and sometimes for the lives of them

proach of forest fire is usually her
aided by great flocks OF birds that
fly overhead going with the wind and
ava, from the fire. Soon after mi
grafton of crawling and creeping and

fire is still mile away the air be-
comes heated a from a furnace. IL

Forest fires are sometimes started

PACKING FRUIT IN rEAi.
important Discovery Made by de-
partment of Agriculture.

The Department OF Agriculture Is
much interested in highly impor-
tant change that has just been made
in the matter of the shipment of
fruits. 1t is believed thar a solution
has finally been found OF the prob
lem of transportating delicate tropi-
cal fruits long distances.
The experiments have been made
ty a French company, under the
auspicies of the French Government.
The shipments have been made from
Guiana and the Island % Guadelou-
pc, in the Lesser Antilles. to France,
and the outcome is declared most
satisfactory.
The success of the new system
means much for certain sections of
this country.
The secret of the new process Is
the development of the fruit in a
particular kind of peat or turf. that,
namely, which is known as yellow
Dutch peat. Pineapples, bananas,
mangoes, sapotas, and other delicate
fruits have been taken when In per-
fectly ripe condition enveloped ia
the fibrous substance and after
several weeks spent in transporta-
ton have arrived at their destina-
ton in a perfectly fresh and sound
condition.
Peat, as is commonly known. is
vegetable matter more or less de-
composed, which passes by insen-
sible degrees into Ignite The less
perfectly decomposed peat is gen.
orally of brown color, that which
is perfectly decomposed is often
black. Now, moist peat, II has for
some time been known, possesses n
decided and powerful antlseptic pro-
perty. This is ascribed to the pres
ence of gallic acid and tannin.
1t Is manifested not only in the
perfect preservation of ancient trees
| and of leaves, fruits, and the like,
| but sometimes even of anir;al bodies.
Thus. in some instances, human bo-
| dies have been found perfectly pre-
| served in peat, after the lapse of Gen.
| turtles.

The TRUE REASON FOR THE
BIG WASHouT AT CENTUR,
Century. Fla.. March p .1aas,

Century. Fla, March % 1905.
Editor Pensacola Journal
/ Please allow me space in your pa
I per To correct the error stated in your
issue OF oath inst, relative to the
| big washout at Century. Your paper
stated:
BY the breaking of the big dam Oh
the A1gerSulhvan Lumber Co., at Cen
tury, 600 feet of track OF the l.. & N
was carried away at that pe.aa''
By reversing the above statement
we would arrive nearer the facts.
The 500 feet Of track was carried
away before the big dam broke The
facts are: The L. & N. embankment
was not of sufficient strength to with
stand the pressure OF the great volume
of water that was partly checked in
its onward flow by that embankment.
The head waters came rushing with
increasing force down against the en-
bankment. the embankment gave way,
thereby liberating tremendous vol
1nne OF water which on its downward
rush was irresistible, consequently the
big dam gave way
To hold temporarily in check a
great volume of water by sand-bank
1T Is reasonable to conclude that the
instant the bank gives way a. large
volume OF water r1shes downward,
removing all obstacles from its path,
the Alser-Sui1ivan Lumber Co.'S dam
not eucepted. The big dam was con-
structed with a view of handling the
volume OF water under all natural con-
ditfonS. When the regular and ac-
oumulated flow of the stream are part
ly held IN check by a railroad sand
bank, with very limited trestle
space as an oaklet for the natural
and increased volume of water that
must pass, it Is not fair TO attribute
the washout of SEQ feet >of track to
the breaking of the Alger-Sullivan
Lumber Co.'S big dam On the con-
trary, it Is an established fact that
the A1gerSrfllivan Lumber Co.'S big
dam was carried away after and not
before the L. & n. embankment gave
way
The direct cause of the breaking OF
the AS j. Co.'S dam was the OBJ
strT1ctiOn of the stream by the l.. & N
emibankmemt, which was not sufaci-
emit to hold in check the great volume
OF water which accumulated against
it on account of not having large
enough outlets for the water to pass.
1t gave way and caused the Alger-SHl-
livan Lumber Co.'S dam TO give way
by hurting upon 1t a tremendous vol
ume of water. Previous to the give
way of the L. & N. embankment, the
big dam was in no danger, it was
carefully guarded by an intelligent
force of the company's employees;
the accumulated flow that escaped or
passed through the inadequate outlets
in the L. & n. enbankment was pass
ing satisfactorily over the Alger-Sul-
Ivan Lumber Co.'S dam until the L.
6 n. embanknnent gave way and re-
leased a volume of water which the
dam could not withstand, therefore it
gave way. An open trestle over the
creek will solve the problem.
The Alger-Sullivan Lumber Co. are
repairing the dam. Many of its EN-
ployeeS must necessarily remain idle
for some time. They hope that the
dam will not again suffer similar
fate from a like cause.
