Once a Volcano Top. the Place Is

Fertility

One of the strange facts. about the
Everglades region Of Florida is that it
is really a decayed mountain top The
crest is formed of massive limestone,
usually covered by mantle Of sand.
In this formation are numberless pot
holes, which vary in size from a few
feet to thousands of acres; also count
less lakes of fre,,l water, springs and
frequent subterranean streams and
pools
\ few miles north of Cape Sable is
aD outcrop of limestone which projects
to Lake Okeechobee IL this outcrop
is an extensive Shallow basin extend

about 10 miles east and west. while

Ing water the rim Las been worn into
fantastic shapes The depth of the
basin varies from che foot at the rim
to twelve feet in places, but generally
the rock floor is from a depth of ore
to six feet. And there is the secret
of the fertility of the Everglades.
Above the entire rock floor rises a lay
er Of muck, formed Of an alluvial de-
post and of decayed vegetable matter

The Why CT lawyers Busy Monday

The Why OF Lawyers Busy Monday.
"A lawyer gets more callers on Mon
day than on any other day OF the
week, remarked an attorney. IF he
lives in the country his front door
bell will begin to ring before he is
cut of bed, and if he has city Office
there is likely to be a line OF clients
waiting.
1.-THE reason is that on Sunday fam.
lilies get together and talk over their
intimate affairs, and one of these is
sometimes suit they are thinking of
beginning, and SO one of their number
is appointed to see the lawyers, and
he comes down Monday morning. OF
course this is more noticeable in the
country than in town, but l have
found that human nature works the
same way in metropolitan or rural
circles"

ing features, among others: A length
ened term for the governor. say four
years, with the right of recall at the
end of two years, as now exists in the
case of the mayor Of Boston. Give him
the same power to select and control
his cabinet and the heads of his de-
partments which is possessed by the
president of the United States, espe-
cially with an absolute and uncondi-
tional power of removal This same
power should be carried through all
