PADDOCK MODESTLY RECEIVES PLAUDITS
 FOR HIS HER0ISM
OF HARBORMASTER BRINGS HIM MANY
 TRIBUTES.

Harbormaster Garry Paddock, none the worse for his experience in the icy waters of the harbor yesterday. smilingly acknowledged the tributes of numerous callers at his office to- day who expressed admiration for his prompt action and fearlessness in snatching from a watery grave little Thomas Hanson. The little fellow suffered no i'll effects. The harbor- master said the plunge into the har- bor wasn't a patch on the effort it cost him to run all the way home to Newfeld avenue. And he had to run in order to keep warm.
 The harbormaster'S presence of mind doubtless saved the lad from drowning He fell off the dock near his home IS Maiden lane, and while several others were running to get boats Paddock ran to the water edge. leaped to a float, and running in the direction in which the lad disappear ed dived into the icy water.
 In a twinkling he had the lad in his grasp. and swam ashore where many hands were ready to lend him assistance. While the little fellows mother was hurrying him home, Pad. dock threw his coat hastily over his shoulders and took it on the run. The weight of his clothing, soaked with water, ma6 6e his race homeward a difficult task$ and he was dripping with perspiration when he got home. A vigorous alcohol rub and few warm drinks prevented his catching cold.

The eminent traveller James Bruce was highly touchy whenever his ve- racity was called into question. It happened that when dining out one day at a friends house one of the guests observed that 1t was impossi- ble that the natives of Abyssinia could eat raw meat. Without making any reply Bruce forthwith left the table and before long returned from the kitchen with piece of raw beef steak. peppered and salted in the Abys- sinian fashion. Placing this in front of the guest who had doubted his word. he said. 'Sir. yon will eat that or fight me!' The guest preferred the former alternative. Thereupon Bruce calmly observed. "Now. sir. you will never say again that it is impossible"

chaueer's Face In a Stone.

In the geological branch of the Brit ish museum the visitor is shown a wonderful specimen of natural imita- tion in a small ribbon jasper" This stone. the material of which is not un- like that of other banded agates. has upon it's surface a perfect miniature portrait of the. poet Chaucer. Every detail is startlingly correct. There are the white face. the pouting lips. the broad. low forehead and even the whites of the slightly upturned eyes. The attendants say that it is utterly impossible to convince even some of the educated visitors that it is not an artificial production.

AMERlCA'S CHANGES IN
 HIGH JUMP ARE BRIGHT
Harry Porter of This City Will Be One of Mainstays in Olympic
 Games.

Of the thirty events that form the track and field programme for the Olympic games at Stockholm next July there is not a contest in which the chances of the American entrants ap- pear brighter than in the running hig h jump. If any confirmation of the proWess of the American high jumper was needed it was supplied last week when George F. Horine of Leland Stanford University established a new world record of feet 6h inches during the dual meet between Stan ford and the University of Califor- mia at Stanford Oval at Palo Alto. Cal.
 Horine's new record was not a sur prise to the athletic sharI since he has been gradually increasing his leap for the past two years. Nevertheless his feat of wiping out the long stand ing figures of Mike Sweeney was so spectacular and convincing that it awakened interest in the performa nee of the Californian col.egian in all parts of the world. According to advice from the Pacific coast Horine's record jump of 7SA inches was made with out the slightest hitch or ground for questioning the leap
 The consistent ability of Horine to clear the bar at well over six feet makes him the special candidate for Olympic honors in this event at Stock holm. It is a pleasing fact, however, that America need not pin her sole hope to him in the coming interna- tional games, since there are at least a dozen other high jumpers who can leap we'll over six feet, under anything like favorable conditions. If some of these jumpers do not surpass Horine at Stockholm they can at least re de- pended upon to follow him so sely that the first three places in this event will count for this country.
 Among the most consistent of these jumpers are Gumpelt of the N Y. A. c. who did 6 ft in. at the 1911 A. A. U. championship; Sam Lawrence of the Boston A. A. who cleared it.. in. during the present indoor sea- son; H. F. Porter of the Irish Amer ican A. C., who tied Gumpelt at 6 it. in, and lost on the jump off.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Shadow Of the Cross

THE Shadow Of the Cross a re-
markable picture, is to be shown in
Pensacola all of next week for the
benefit of the Sisters of Perpetual
Alteration. The place is adjoining the
Clutter music store and the hours are
8 to 6 and Z to 10 p. m.
The Shadow of the Cross was paint
ed by Henry Hammond Ali, who
studied and painted in the art centers
of the Old World for many years. de-
voting his talents mainly to the genre
subjects.
Acting under the influence of
friends, he turned his attention to re-
ligious subjects, and, among others,
commenced painting a full length
figure of Christ, his object being to
produce an ideal portrait of the
Christman.
At first he did not succeed In attain
ing his ideal: and the canvas stood q
source OF trouble and vexation to him.
Numerous visitors were received at
his studio, among them a well-known
lecturer on Biblical characters, who
became intensely interested in this
picture and tried to make the artist
understand the appearance of Christ
as revealed to him in vivid dream.
All in vain, however, until one day,
the artist was suddenly impressed
with the realization that he had at
last conceived the idea sought after.
Immediately rising, he painted the
wonderful countenance Of Christ which
Is seen in this painting.
Anxious to know what the lecturer
would say about the change, he sent
for him. On entering the studio the
lecturer went into raptures over the
picture, exclaiming: Now you have
painted Christ an I saw him."
Not long afterwards. the artist hay
ing to 60 to his studio at night for
sheets of some music, was astounded
to discover, on entering that his pic
ture could be distinctly seen in the
dark, and that Christ appeared to be
walking in pale moonlight, while
above and behind could be seen a
cross.
His first impression was that the
moon was shining through an open
window, upon the picture. and that the
cross was a shadow. On closer in
spection he soon discovered that a
strange phenomenon had taken place.
AS he had not thought Of a cross in
connection with this picture. and had
used only well known pigments. be
soon realized that the strange quality
Of his picture was beyond his power
to explain. He was so profoundly i'm
pressed that he refused to finish, and
the picture remains unfinished to this
day.

TREASURER'S
FINANCIAL
STATEMENT
STUDY OF THE REPORT SHOWS
STEADY oRowTH AND TREAS
uRY IN a HEALTHY FINANCIAL
CONDITION = RECEIPTS FOR
THE YEAR OVER THREE MIL
LION.
Special to The Journal

Tallahassee, Jan. 6.-State Treasurer
Knott has just published his financial
report for the fiscal year ending De-
cember 81, 1911, as required by section
126 Of the General Statutes. This re-
port will be OF interest to all citizens
OF the state who keep posted on the
states affairs. and especially its finan-
cial condition.
The increase In receipts and ball
ances on hand show that the business
Of the state is steadily on the increase.
The receipts from general revenue for
the year were over one million dollars
and the total receipts from all
sources during the year, not including
the balances on hand at the beginning
of the year, amounted to 1914, 315.56.
This is the largest shown by any re-
port ever issued from the state
treasury.
One source of receipts that has
given good account of Itself during
the year is the sale OF fertilizer and
feed stamps. From these two accounts
came over $1,000. From the insur-
ance companies licensed to do bust
ness in the state was derived a reve-
nue. of over 1881, 900. The insurance
the state treasurer, he being ex-onicio
commissioners.
From automobile and, chauffeur
taxes the state derived in round num-
bers $4,000 last year. From the hire
of state convicts was received s312,-
s53.01.
The present rate of taxation for
state purposes is IL mills on the
dollar. distributed as follows:
Pensions mills. general revenue 2
mills. constitutional school tax mill,
state board OF health IL mill. The
pension tax is the largest single item
of receipts, amounting to $70s, 1920.
The state had on hand in the treas
ury at the close of business on De-
cember 81. 1911, ss5s.44o.S6, more than
enough to take up the entire state
debt which the state really owes to
itself, the bonds being held by the
state school fund
The amount of money on hand In
the state treasury over and above
actual necessary amounts for meeting
current expenses never lies idle. It
is deposited in the banks throughout
the state and draws interest The
banks secure the state against loss
by placing with the state treasurer
bonds for more than sufficient to cover
the amount on deposit The state de-
rived in interest on its deposits last
year $16.643.3S.
The state treasurer's ONCE is run
on highly systematized basis, COM
plete records and vouchers of the
minutest transaction being kept The
motto Of the ONCE is Always the
highest possible plane of efficiency"
