all repaired, picked up tie end that
was lost in the wilds and extended it

cola division. This gave him choice
of several routS. Either from River
Junction. the terminus of the Pensa-
cola division, around by Pensacola
and Flomaton to the main line of the
Mobile and Montgomery. or traffic
could be diverted at Crestview, sent

If the gap between Gracveille and
Cottondale is filled in it will give

luSia, Georgiana and on to MontgOm-
cry. River Junction, the terminus OF
the Pensacola division of the l.. "a
N, is also the terminus Of branches
of the Seaboard Air Line and the At
lantic Coast line. 1t is on the Chatta-
hoochee river and the station on the
west side of the bridge is called Chat
tahoochee, while the station on the
east side of the bridge is known az,
River Junction.
On the other side of the bridge the
branches of the Seaboard and Attain
tic Coast Line touch nearly every
point in that section of Florida. 1t is
from the east side of the river bridge
that the ST. Andrews Bay Northern
begins it's journey to Apalachicola.
The coast of st. Andrews bay seems
to have been a mecca for railroad pro-
moters during the past few years.
Some years ago a railroad was pro-
jected to run from Atlanta to st. An
drews Bay, going by Eufala. The only
work that was ever done on the pro-
ject was to build part Of the road
bed over near Pittsview in Russell
county. The right of way any every
thing had been granted but unfOrtu-
nately the money necessary to con-
tinue the road gave out, and since
the Gulf and st. Andrews Bay rail-
road has been a memory. II all goes
to show, however, that far-seeing rail-
road men realize the possibilities or
the ST. Andrews Bay country.
From the present outlook the Louis
vile and Nashville will have a NUM-
Der of deep water ports in this sec
ton. They already have the magnif-
icent wharfage facilities at Pensacola
and if the st. Andrews bay project
goes through it will give them another
outlet to the Gulf. From Bay Mi-
nette on the main line of the Mobile
and Montgomery division the L. and
N has built a line thirty-five miles
to Foley, and while that is the termi-
nus at present it is afct that the OBJ
ject of the branch being originally
built was to get to Fort Morgan and
secure another deep water harbor:

the vehicle three-quarters round a
circle and to the very brink of an
ugly embankment. Three men

all the worse. She called to them

MOST HEREDITARY THING.
Nature OF Blood Revealed in Its
Chemical Reactions.

A drop of the blood OF a walrus
shows no relation with a drop OF
whales blood or OF the blood of any
other Cetacean, such as seals or por-
poscs, which like the walrus, are
mamwala tr~' ro"r token to the
I'D. i..s,l-I oi mat, the blood OF
the walrus Immediately reacts with
the blood of horses. asses and ,ze-
bras, thus proving that he is an
equine that no longer crops grass
but goes where he can live on ex-
clusively fish diet Likewise, the
hippipotamus is shown to be a mo-
dified pig. 1890
Where the blood relation exists,
but is distant, these reactions are
proportionately faint, but where no
reactions occur there is no relation
ship at all. Thus, geology indicates
that birds are descended from rep
tiles, and, oddly enough, the blood
of a bird shows distinct, though
very faint, reaction with the blood
of a snake, but none whatever with
that of the winged bat or the flying
squirrel, for these are mammals.
On the other hand the marsupials,
once such a great family, but now re-
duced to the kangaroo, the opossum,
and a small creature in South AM
erica. have now but a single blood
relation left. AS to man, he has no
relationship to monkeys, but the
blood of anthropoid apes shows
very faint reaction with his. Mean
time, all the races OF man are un-
mistakably of one blood, whatever
their color or abode.
Hence the blood is by far the most
hereditary thing about us, writes DR..
William Hanna Thompson in Every
body's Magazine. Neither the shape
of the skeleton, nor the contour Of
the body, nor brain, heart, lungs,
stomach, intsstinesI liver or skin,
nor even ancestral habits about the
great Food Question. -Darwin's only
Creator-how to eat or keep from
being eaten-are comparable TO a
single drop of blood for telling the
correct story OF descent All this
gives a new meaning to the words,
For the blood thereof is the life
thereof" Likewise, the old saying
that insanity runs in the blood now
wears a scientific look, since blood
and family are so inseparably as
sociated.
