OLDEST FIRE TOWER.

At La Coruna, In northern Spain.
may be seen fire tower which Is.
with the exception of the ruins of the
Roman lighthouse at Dover the oldest
OF all existing structures OF this kind.
The exact date of the erection Of
this tower is unknown. According to
an ancient tradition. 1t is accredited
to Hercules, whence its name Tore
de Hercules. Others say that Phoeni-
clans, who established several colo
nies in Spain, had erected this light
tower for their northland cruises. How
ever, judging from the inscription. 1t
is more probable that the Roman
emperor Trojan (9S to III A. d.
erected this structure. The inscrIp-
tion also mentions the name OF Servl-
us Supus OF Lusitania as the architect.
The tower is built OF ashlars and Is
nine meters square and 40 meters In
height 1t has six separate stories,
which can only be reached by cir
cular staircase around the exterior OF
the tower. The lighthouse was restor-
ed in 1854, but at the end Of the eight
ecnth century WAS again in ruins. In
1897 1t was rebuilt by the Spanish
government and still sends forth its
beams

rRIauTE ne TAE JUNGLE.

That India still pays its annual trib
ate of human life to the jungle Is
shown by statement made In re-
cent issue OF the London Times. Dur
Ing the past three years the number
Of deaths from snake bite or the at
lacks Of wild animals has steadily In
creased. Rising waters have driven
the serpents out OF the lowlands up
into the villages, and have diminished
the natural food supply OF the larger
animals
In 1910 So persons were killed by
elephants, 25 by hyenas, 10s by bears,
sb1 by leopards. s1S by wolves. S5s by
tigers, and 6sS by other animals, In
cluding wild pigs No less than a.
ATS died from the bite OF poisonous
snakes The grand total OF mortal
ity is 24,S7S.
During the same year, $4,000 cattle
were also killed by wild beasts and
snakes.
The losses on the part of inhabit-
ants OF the jungle we're nearly but not
quite as great as those OF their bu-
man enemies and domesticated ami.
mails combined. Ninety-one thousand
one hundred and four snakes and over
10000 wild beasts OF various kinds
were killed.

and a goodly number of our temper
ance ladies were present to enjoy the
occasion.
Mrs. Gary spoke very encouraging
ly of the progress of the Ocala UNI

the next meeting, to be held April
the 18th, at which time very inter
esting program will be rendered.
Rev. F. d. Hill of Jacksonville, a
representative of the Y. NJ. C. A., led

Fathers Responsibility to the
Child" This talk was forcible and TO
the point and much enjoyed by all
present.
Mrs. Rockers talk was on THE Re-
lation of the Mother to the Child
both at home and in public life. She
referred to the beautiful work of Jane
Adams of Hull House, urging that all
mothers keep abreast with the civic
situations of the day, so that they
may teach the children more read

APPRECIATES OUR HOSPITAL

In speaking of the Marion county
hospital to a representative of the
Ocala Banner Saturday, DR.. r. d. Full
Ter said that he did not believe there
was better equipped institution of
its kind in Florida. He says that he
could not possibly have received bet
ter accommodations anywhere than
fell to his lot when he was for some
weeks an inmate of the hospital, aft
er difficult surgical operation, and
that the people of Ocala and Marion
county are fortunate in having in
their midst such an institution. The
doctor says that the only thing need
ed to make it everything that it
should be is new building, and the
prospects are no wine for this.
The Hospital Association is now
advertising for a suitable location
for the proposed new building, and nc
doubt work will be begun within a
short time.

LETTER FROM Mr.. HOOKER.

To the Editor of the Ocala Banner:
You very kindly offer to give pub
licity to what l may wish to say
about my candidacy for national
committeeman, and l now avail my
self of this opportunity.
Many confuse this position with
that of delegate to the national con-
vention.
We will elect twelve delegates to
the national convention, which will.
of course, nominate the democratic
candidates for president and vice
president, and make the national
platform of our party.
The national committee has no
such duties to perform and is COM
posed only of one member from each
state. The principal duty of this
committee will be to select the place
for holding the national democratic
convention four years from now.
1t is obvious, therefore, that il
is not of great consequence to the
voter what democrat, or quality or
grade of democrat, fills this honor
airy position.
/ would not depreciate the honor
which is incident to that position;
for it's membership consists of the
most distinguished men of our nation
and party. l would highly appreciate
such an honor, but when realize the
embarrassment presented in the null
titude of names upon the primary
ballot, and the many important facts
to be brought to the attention of the
voters in the canvass, to which IL is
very essential he should give ear, il
would seem almost inconsiderate and
unbecoming for me to urge TO their
attention a matter that is of small
concern to them and would be only
an honor to me.
To know my choice for president is
| therefore unimportant, except as il
may indicate the quality of democrat
am. AS southerner, and a grad
uate of the University of Virginia,
would like to believe that either Will
son or Underwood, the distinguished
sons of my alma mater, might me
available-and at this time Wilson
RI oh oil D,rf .
to win, and it is the duty of every
leader to lay aside all prejudice and
put forward a candidate who can get
the votes in the doubtful states.
Yours very truly,
WILLIAM HOOKER.
