Thompson, dean of the divinity, Mag

Thompson is the nephew OF the late
bishop OF Oxford.
Recently Mr.. Thompson published

orthodoxy. He maintained that posi-

of Jesus are exceedingly weak and neg
alive and that the evidences are very
strong that the resurrection was not ;
physical fact, but spiritual.
The notion that Jesus worked mira

company gathered at the White House
saturday night to attend a state dinner
in honor of Admiral Togo, the japanese
naval hero, nov on an official visit tc
the United States, proposed toast &c
| lie Emperor of Japan. He publicly
invited Japan to enter into a general
arbitration treaty with the United
States, covering all disputes, such as
was recently signed with Great Britain
and France. The invitation Of the
president came as surprise, and was
regarded as being Of deep international
significance.
Beneath the entwined flags of Japan
and the United States, and while an
orchestra alternately played American
and Japanese airs, the bond of friend
ship connecting these countries was
strengthened when Vice President Sher-
man and other United States officials
joined Baron Uchida, Japanese am
bassador to the United States. last night
in paying honor to Admiral Count
Togo. The occasion was a banquet
given in honor OF Admiral Togo by
Baron Uchida at the New Willard
Hotel.
The effect of the invitation given
Saturday night by President Taft to
the Japanese to enter into an arbitra-
ton treaty with the United States was
heightened last night when Baron
Uchida and Vice President Sherman
each proposed toasts to the ruler and
nation of the other.

Florida leads in Turpentine

The total value of the turpentne and
Tosin product of the United States for
the year 1910. according to a census re-
port, was $35, $4,000, of which total
Florida produced $40, l68, O00-consider-
ably more than half the total output
of the country. Georgia was next in
line, its production being a little over
81, 600, zoe. Florida produced in 1910,
298 600 casks of turpentine and l,0lS,-
600 barrels of rosin. In turpentine
Florida S output gained 8 per cent in a
year and in rosin II per cent. The av-
erage price Of turpentine was SSl6s a
cask in 1910, an increase Of as per cent
over the average price of 1909, the av.
erage price of rosin was 1888 per bar
rel. an increase Of 40 per cent over the
average price of 1909. The report
shows that the exports of turpentine
products are greater than the domestic
consumption. The varied and increas-
ing uses of rosin in industrial lines is,
no doubt. one of the important causes
of its steady advance in value. 1t is
now used extensively in the manufac-
ture of soap. paper, oilcloth, linoleum,
sealing wax, fly paper, brewers pitch,
electric wiring, lubricating compounds,
medicinal preparations, etc.

Florida State College For W omen

We call your attention to the adver-
tisement of the Florida State College
for women in this issue. This instltu-
ton holds high rank among the colleges
for women in the country. Its stand
ards of admission and of work are the
same as those of the University of
Florida.
In attendance and in equipment the
growth has been constant and substan-
tial. The enrolment last year was
$50, representing forty.one counties
and eight States. The equipment is
unexcelled in the South.
As to the educational and climatic
advantages in Florida the same can
be said of the University of Florida -
both are unexcelled.
