That Florida is advancing
rapidly along industrial and COM

to the people of this city and
state, but the achievements OF
Floridians are becoming the

This fact is well illustrated by
the following editorial which re-

The wonderful story of Flor
ida's industrial and commercial
growth in the past decade is one
that is interesting and stimula-

of the achievements and POSSIBLE

history of the whole country.
The actual value in 1911 of
property in Florida was $780,
100000, an increase from 1885,
300. 900 in ten years.
Some of the other increases in
that time were:

To Reclaim Mesopotamia.-Mesopo-

To Reclaim MesopotamIa.-Mesopo-
tamia, that somewhat inaccessible re-
gion, will, it is claimed, be brought
within easy reach Of the traveller
when the reclamation projects now in
hand shall have restored it to its for
mer prosperity.
AS a result of Sir William Willcock's
Investigations in the delta of the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers. a stream of ir-
rigation works has been recommended
to restore 274,110,0O0 acres Of land
out of the total of 1926, $4,000 acres
comprising the Tigris- Euphrates del
ia. The engineer also advocates rail-
way communication between the delta
and the Mediterranean, providing a
convenient channel to Europe. Such
a railway would be the main artery
OF traffic for import and export trade,
and would give easy access to tourists
to many ancient districts. There
would also be considerable traffic In
connection with the pilgrimage Of the
east Asia Mohammedans to the sa-
cred cities Of Islam.
Sir William is of the opinion that
such a railway would show an annual
profit of $40O, 900, even before the irri-
CATION works were completed. Their
completion would greatly add to the
revenue. The navigation Of the Tigris
which is at present British monopoly
has been strengthened by the intro
duction Of Ottoman interests, and 1t
is expected that there will ensue a
wave of prosperity in the lands made
famous by Biblical history. This ter
ritory is the most fruitful in the whole
of the Ottoman Empire.-Harper's
Weekly.

The Uses Of Hypnotism.-A man
who had been in the babit Of taking
a drug for some years determined
to cure himself of the practice. He
had heard that hypnotism was con-
sidered a good remedy, so he went to
a doctor, who had some reputation In
that branch Of science, and put HIM
self under the practitioners care.
The treatment was fairly successful
at first, but in a month or so the ef-
feet wore off. Being anxious to hear
what the doctor said, when passing
his hands over his (the patient's) face,
the man pretended to be under the
hypnotic influence. and shut his eyes
after he had been lying down on the
couch for a few minutes. Expecting
to hear the forcible words:
Now, mind you give up that drug.
1t will kill you," and so on, he was
surprised to have the following dinned
into his ears: Now when you get
well, mind you, pay my bill. Pay my
bill! Pay my bin"
The patient never said word. but
he got his revenge by forgetting boil,
the hypnotist and his bill from that
time.-New York Sun.

Returns from Iowa showing that the

temperament will permit.
The president realizes that he now

Massachusetts primaries on Tuesday,
May 1, foretell his fate. Even his
staunchest supporters say that If
Colonel Roosevelt succeeds in captur-
