NO BOTTOM TO THIS SPRING
Jaooed Hole In Center Of Florida
Pool So Deep No Sounding
Finds Bottom.

The great body Of water which
gave the name to Tarpon Springs.
Fla, is classed by all Of the old ciu-
zens as bottomless.
The center appears to be hole
curbed with jagged rocks. Sometimes
the weight has lodged and then
dropped on to the extent Of the sound
ing line afterward. Many citizens say
that they know the depth to be In
excess Of 700, 500 and 900 feet.
Once, when a depth Of 200 feet was
reached, an obstruction was encoun-
tered; then it was dislodged, dropped
on further and the line broke.
A very heavy weight has to DO
used on account of the depth. and
when divers are sent down in tho
springs, as they have been recently.
they report the same great jagged
hole, which, so far as they can ind
out, is without bottom.
The spring is supposed to be the
principal outlet of that beautiful lake
Butler which lies a mile east of the
town. Tidewater comes up into the
spring and it has acquired the name
because 1t was tho playground of the
silvered king Of fish, the tarpon.

Man and the Crowd.

An address once made by President

Cornell was an eloquent appeal fol
the individual against the crowd
would you abolish poverty, would
you advance civilization" he asked
Then educate individuals one by one
to be more virtuous, more intelligent
more skillful, more industrious"
Upon the soundness Of the pies
there will be general agreement. II
is but a new statement Of the philos
ophy of Jesus that each man should
take care Of his own soul. But it is .
creed that has been much more suo
cesfully taught on lonely farms and
pastures than in universities.
Still, the creed is a good one to
teach. 1t can never be taught too
often. Better than all laws against
vice and crime and folly is an i'm
pulse toward self.reform. And per
haps such an impulse was never more
needed than now, for never was thu
voice of the crowd more clamoroul
nor the influence of the crowd more
potent. He that can make sure Of hit

Where Counting 10 Dangerous.
Four young men have been shot at
Vex (Valais) by an irate father to
whose daughter they had come to pay
court, says the London Express. They
were refused admission to the house.
and when they tried to force their
1ay in the father took down his gun
and fred. Two of them were slight.
~ wounded and the other two serious
". The father was arrested.
The encounter and its almost tragic
ending were due to ancient custom
which prevails In the villages Of the
canton of Valais and In the Alpine
Aamlets Of the German cantons. After
q girl has reached the age of eighteen
her parents are not surprised to re-
oeive the visit Of several young men
after the days work to ask to sec
their daughter and pass a pleasant
evening in the family circle. The
visit is looked on as a compliment,
and as the young men bring with
them wines and food they are gen.
orally welcomed by the parents The
custom, which is known as Veillee,
results in introductions and often IN
marriages.

Twice Close to Death,

An unpleasant adventure recently
befell Bavarian onicer who was
taking observations above the fortress
Of 1ngolstadt, Germany, from q cap.
i've balloon. A sudden and violent
gust Of wind snapped the ~mooring
cable and carried the aerostat up and
away at a dizzy speed. The officer,
who was alone in the car, attempted
to empty the balloon by means Of tho
ripping cord, but could not get this
to work. Meanwhile, he had been car.
ned to an altitude Of 1900 feet and
was beginning to feel the exhausting
effects Of this rapid change of eleva.
ton. Realizing that his situation was
desperate, he exerted all his powers.
and managed to Chamber up to the en-
velope and slash hole in 1t, where.
upon the balloon descended even moro
rapidly than it had risen. When near
the earth he was again in imminent
peril, but he made Jump for it and
had the good luck to be caught by the
friendly branch OF a tree. Relieved Of
his weight, the balloon shot up into
the air again and was soon lost 70
sight.
