RIVER BOTTOMS THAT ARE
BELOW SEA LEVELS.

Below Cairo the Mississippi has a
gradient Of but a few inches per mile;
for the last 500 miles of its course the
Amazon has an avearge gradient of
only an eighth of an inch per mile; be-
tween Sorbat and Khartoum the slope
of the Nile is only from a third to a
half-inch per mile. But recently DIR.
Isaiah Bowman n c. F. Graham
have pointed out another surprising
fact about the Mississippi. namely. thai
not only is the bottom Of the channel
100 feet below the level Of the Gulf of
Mexico twenty miles above New Or
leans. but that the most northerly
point where the river bottom occurs at
gulf evel is $50 miles, by river, from the
gulf. There are intermediate points
where the bottom rises above gulf
level: but the first point where it at
tains that level is 1888 miles, by river,
from the gulf.-Youth's Companion.

speeds along as smoothly as a Pull

cooled off by the splnedid rain of the

comfort and we envy those who are

THE STATE DENTAL ASSoClA-
TON

From Thursdays Daily:
This paper welcomes the State Den
tai Association to Ocala. 1t is said
that once upon a time at meeting of
a certain association, in recounting
the various blessings that had befal-
len the members, and for which they
were particularly thankful. an old wo-
man arose and said that she had but
two teeth, but was thankful that
those two met. Only the toothless
can enter into the full significance of
this old lady's blessings.
The dentists have distributed bless
ings more abundantly, perhaps, than
any of the other professions, for they
have made it possible for none of US
to go toothless, and good teeth have
gotten to be synonymous with good
health.
The science of dentistry has made
as many forward strides as any of
the professions and the dentists chair
is no longer pictured on our brain as
one or horror, and the more recent
discoveries in this line of endeavor
combined with the skill and delicate
touch of the operator have made the
visits to the dentists one of pleasure
Indeed, dentistry has made most
marvellous progress, and we hope it
will reach such a state of perfection
that such a thing as an unsound tooth
will be reckoned as the exception and
not the rule.
We hang our latchstrings on the
outside and hope the stay of the den
lists with us will be both pleasant and
profitable.

noon the rear porch of the Ocala
House was lined up with cOlored vol

tai work done, and they got what they
wanted. Today the state dental asso-

The editor of this paper enjoyed a
very pleasant auto ride with Mayor
John D. Robertson yesterday to Sill
yer Springs, in company with Dr.
Kemp of Key West and DR.. Jewett
of Atlanta. The air was prime, the
road fairly good and the drive was
much enjoyed. We went out on the
bosom of the springs in glass-bottom
boat and enjoyed its scintillating
beauties, and as one never tires gaz-
ing into its depths, the saying of
Keats always occurs to us, that "a
thing of beauty is a JOY forever" The
Fort King Sunday school was holding
picnic there, and the boys and girls
were having a good time" Some
were in swimming and others were in
boats, floating smoothly over it's bos-
ON, thinking the same thoughts and
telling the same stories that have
been told and re-told by lovers in all
ages. Just as we were leaving the
chaperones were opening many il.vit-
ing-looking baskets, and we know that
there were other enjoyments besides
the mythical lore of love. Silver
Springs will ever be an aid to Dan
Cupid in his pleasant pastime of
shooting arrows in such a way as to
make loves young dream" a reality.

RETURN OF THE MILITARY BOYS

The Ocala Rifles returned from the
encampment yesterday after a very
pleasant stay of six or seven days.
The camp was named in honor of
the late Senator Bryan, and is beau
tifully situated on the banks of the
ST. Johns river.
The encampment gave the young
men a nice outing" and sleeping in
the open air was most beneficial to
them.
They had dress parades in the af-
ternoons, and on Sunday large num-
bers of people from Jacksonville visit
ed the camps and witnessed the pa
rade. The boys presented a dazzling
picutre. On Monday they were re-
viewed by Governor Gilchrist, Adju-
tant General Foster and other Of
fetal dignitaries.
Their return is hailed with delight
by their friends and the people of
Ocala. The militia exerts very sal
utary influence in the affairs of this
state.

Belleview must be a very great city.
Colonel Edwin Spencer, the oldest
practitioner at the Ocala bar, moved
down there a few months ago, and
has thus early developed into a first
class farmer. He has succeeded adj
mirably, and there is nothing on a
farm that he has not grown success
fully. Then, too, there is Mr.. Chas.
O'Malley Foy, the poet laureate of the
Ocala Banner, has gone there, to pur-
sue the happy avocation of life on the
farm. and we expect as good reports
of him as have crowned the efforts
of the barrister.

Mr.. James Reed, who, in years
gone by, lived in Ocala, and still
owns property here, was a visitor yes
terday. He now resides in New Or
leans, and says that it now numbers
a population of 100000, and contin-
ues to grow. The construction of the
Panama canal and the conditions of
the country generally promise quick
er and still greater growth for the
Crescent City, and the man who halls
from New Orleans is loyal enough to
believe that there is no other city in
the universe quite it's equal.
