DELIGHTFUL EVENING AT

An enjoyable holiday party has
failed to get into print. 1t was during
the recent Christmas festivities near
Spar, at the home of Mrs. Julia E.
Thomas, where also the Rev w L.

been made famous through the magic
touch of a pioneer planter-General

grandeur and beauty still lives and
speaks and praises God in the form
of magnificent old mansion en-
VelOped in a beautiful and perfect
square of towering water oaks in
whose waving foliage the tropical sun
light is busy, at this very moment,
painting golden ripples round the
green.
Near this grand old monument of
the halycon days is the humble colt
age home of Mrs. Thomas, the scene
of the occasion we cannot describe
for lack of words adequate.
Neighbors, friends, old acquaint-
ances,-even some strangers-old,
young middle aged, "all hands and
the cook" (and the latter was needed)
gathered under the far-reaching limbs
of the snarly old trees where a camp
fire had been kindled and a large pot
set to rights.
Some brought chicken and rice;
others rice and chicken, and some

EAST COAST EXTENSION NEAR
ING COMPLETION

News from Key West is that work
on the Florida East Coast extension
is going on at rapid rate, both day
and night. Large gangs of men are
working at several different places,
and much of the work will be complet-
ed this week.
The piers at knights Key and
Pigeon Key are almost completed. mad
the big draw bridge at Moser channel
will be ready to swing as soon as the
gasoline engines arrive to furnish the
motive power. Much work is being
done at Long Key, where the washout
occurred during the heavy October
blow.
The Bahia Honda bridge was al
most completely washed into the
ocean during the hurricane last fall.
and it is just now nearing completion.
Large gangs of men are at work max
ing the heavy fill, and rebuilding the
bridge. The approach will be much
stronger this time than it was before.
ana II Is thought that it will be able
TO weather any gale that blows.
Trains win soon be running over
the extension. This is the reason
that the work is being pushed so rap
idly. The storm last fall delayed pro-
ceedings considerably. but much OF
the time has been made up by using
extra large forces OF men.

disappointment is caused by the mis-
representing literature that is broad
cast over the world. Lake Weir is Of
fering homes to the right kind of set

of places that can not offer similar
advantages without prevericating, bit
this is to tell what is doing in Stanton.
Capt. Lyles left this morning for an
eight months stay in Georgia and Ten
nessee.
Mr.. and Mr.. Skinner guests of the
Lake Side hotel are occupying the
Lyle cottage on Stanton Heights,
thinking it a more pleasant and salts
factory place to spend the winter.
Mr.. J. B. Leavengood, wife of dep
uty postmaster at Stanton, who has

I. G.. Seller of Selinsgroove, Pa, are
enjoying themselves on the lake
shooting diadappers and have just re-
turned with twenty-five fine speckled
perch. Mr.. Seller is a great hunter
and it takes a smart entity hawk to
get away from his unerring rifle, but
the rampage the lake got on while Mr.
Cornell and he were navigating on
it's bosm, made his aim a little I'M
certain, and he told the writer he
would have been willing to part with
ten dollar to be set on land, but they
got the speckled beauties all the
same.
Mr.. W. R. Goodwin will arrive at
Stanton about the 25th, of this month
then we can expect to have some
yacht regattas and races again.
Mr.. Snitzler had a fine dancing |
pavalion erected on the lake shore so
those that enjoy that kind of pass
time can do so, others that like moon
light boating can also be acomadat- |
ed, those that like to fish can find |
plenty of fish worms in the sand along
the shore Soon the water will be
warm enough to go in bathing and
where can you find a nicer place than
Lake Weir.
What Stanton needs is a hotel, so
people can find acomodation and
a great many more would come to en-

LIQUID PORES.
An Entertaining Experiment With Al
eohoI and Water.


II Is not easy to imagine liquids as
having pores. though this seems to be
the case as shown by certain familiar
experiments When a certain amount
of powdered sugar Is slowly poured
into warm water, the water will dis
solve the sugar and appear to absorb
Il without increasing its volume. Sim
ilarly, when alcohol is poured into wa
ter the resulting volume Is less than
the sum of the two volumes.
For instance. If fifty parts of water
and fifty parts Of alcohol be mixed TO-
gether they will make only ninety-four
parts Apparently one of the liquids
has entered into the pores" OF the
other This experiment, as commonly
performed in laboratories, consists in
putting measured quantities of the two
liquids together, but the effect would
be far more striking were Ii possible
for students to see one of the liquids
actually soaking" into the other This
can be done in the following way:
Take two glasses, one filed to the
brim with water and the other with
alcohol In order TO show the effect
to better advantage, color the alcohol
with red ink The glasses should not
be over full-that is, the surface of the
liquid should not bulge above the rim
of theA glass. When everything Is
ready, place n sheet of paper over the
glass full Of alcohol. and with hand
on tsc paper to keep 1t down on the
rim of the glass invert the tumbler,
and the liquid will remain in the glass,
owing to the air pressure on the paper.
Now place the inverted tumbler over
the glass full of water and carefully
draw out the paper. This can be done
without spilling a drop Of alcohol. and
yet as soon as the paper Is removed
the alcohol will commence to drop.
Owing to the fact that 1t Is colored IL
Is possible to see the alcohol actually
soaking" into the water, while tiny
air bubbles that were formerly contain
ed in the pores" Of the water rise
slowly to the top of the tumbler. This
will continue for some little time until
"a considerable air space forms in the
top of the tumbler.
