A APANYGERIC-GODS AND MEN
By PERCY CLARK

tanic, and the noble John Jacob Astor, who possessed more wealth than all the assessed values of Jefferson county, who had much 10 live for, but elected a vicari- ous sacrifice, will have a place in the pantheon of heroes whether they faced the carnage of battle or go down to death in the deep sea whose mourning dirges tell of more than 1900 souls that were slain by that Titan of the north seas, Boreas!
 And it is a matter of graduation that of this land of ours, where soft winds filled with fragrance wait the songs of mus ical birds, with its atmosphere of refining influence, 1t can be said:
 As the apple waxes mellow sweetened by the summer light
 So man in the sunlight of woman's pres ence Is ripened into all the richness of his nature; that among the heroes who made courageous sacrifice on that fearful Sunday night amid wreck, icebergs and in icy sea, the splendid bearing of the men from Georgia shone as Apollo before the wrath of Neptune, calm, courteous, considerate and bravel

OPEN EVERGLADES
 CANAL THIS WEEK
Will Make Trip Through the
 Gulf to Atlantic Canal
TRIP BEGINS TODAY
.Gulf-to-Atlantic Canal Is First of a system of Five Canals Begun Two Years Ago That Will Re-
 claim 100000 Acres

Tallahassee, Fla, April 21.-Official opening of the everglades drainage ca nals, which are being constructed for the purpose of draining and reclaiming the everglades of Florida, will take place this week. The programme for the celebra- ton includes a trip through the newly completed gulf-to-Atantic canal by a large party Of visitors from various parts of the country. led by Governor Gill christ, and including representatives of press, railway trafficmen and others in- terested in the reclamation of the ever glades. Extensive preparations are be- ing made by the various towns which the party will visit to entertain their guests. sfEkgkk
 Trip Begins Today
 The trip will begin at Jacksonville to- morrow, when Governor Gilchrist will meet the visitors. The party then will proceed to Fort Myers on the gulf coast, where launches will be boarded and the trip through the canal to Fort Lauder dale, on the Atlantic side of the penin- sula, will begin. A banquet rendered the governor and his party by the Miami Board of Trade on Friday night will conclude the dedication programme
 The gulf-to-Atlantic canal is the first of system of five channels begun two years ago which will recliam 4.OO0O00 acres of everglade lands. This territory re- semblessa great saucer, irregular in shape 160 miles long by 60 wide It contains Lake Okeechobee the second largest body of fresh water situated wholly with in the confines of the United States. This great basin is without means of natural drainage and the rainfall and overflow from Lake Okeechobee are held within it's edges.
 Two Hundred and Three Miles Long
 The four main channels, aggregating 203 miles in length, which are contem- plated in the drainage project are ex- pected to transform this vast swamp into one of the most productive areas in the country. The contracts provide that the channels shall be completed be- fore July l. 1913, and 1t is believed this will be accomplished without difficulty.
 The state will reap large financial re- turns from the venture it Is believed, since the cost of draining the everglades will not exceed $1 per acre. Title to the land is held by the state and if the ex- pectations of the trustees of the inter- national improvement fund, under whose auspices the work is being carried on, are realized. the territory to be drained will become. for agricultural purposes, the most valuable in the state.

BESSEMER PLANTS
 ARE ALL HUMM|NG
Present Year Promises to be Far Ahead of 1911 in
 Every Line

. Bessemer, April 21.-(Special)- )-At the present time industrial Bessemer is decidedly active. much more so than a year ago at the same time. The Re- public 1fon and Steel company the Woodward company and the sloss com pany are mining red ore and working full forces with a heavy output. Tho Tennessee company Is working a large force of men on Red mountain, the rolling mill is working full and two furnaces are active. On Red moun- tain the corporation has 12 slopes min ing ore, and each place employees an average of 125 men.
 The company has enough large orders to keep it running on full time for the next six months. Inspectors from the cities having pipe made are here to ex- amining each pipe before 1t is accepted. The Bessemer Soil Pipe company has been making and shipping pipe until the past few days, when the plant had to close down so that the cupalo could be lined. It will resume work on Mon day with orders for six months ahead, working a full force of men. The Gen. tral Foundry company has @ number of large orders and is making and ship ping pipe daily. The Bessemer Fodn- dry and Machine company is working a good force and has number of good orders for delivery.
 The shipping season of the Jefferson Fertilizer company is just about over, the past two months of extremely bad weather having handicapped the bust ness for this year, although this years output will run considerably ahead of the output of 1911.
 The coal mines of the Woodward con- pany at Dolomite are running on full time with an increased number of min CTS. The smaller industries are as active as the larger ones, each having a good run of business.
 Blue Creek, Virginia and the mines and coke ovens out from Bessemer are making the same records as the others in the amount of output the companies handle. The business of each corpora ton for the four months of 1912 will greatly exceed that of 1911, and with the blowing in of another furnace, the outlook for the district is considered very bright

 The psychology of coincidence often pres ent and at times startling, in the details of the loss of the Titanic, are strihngly interesting. Under the decree of Jupiter, Titapus was to destroy all of his male descendants, and the females alone were 10 be spared; only the women to a large proportion were saved from the Titanic under the rules of the sea-Jupiterianl
 And in pursuit of the decree, Titanus was emasculated and the act ot destruc- ton produced Venus from the sea, vide the classical chroniclers.
 The Carpathia takes her name from that par. of the Mediterranean sea between Rhodes and Crete.

It is a great experience to take a joy ride in the clouds.
 It is quite a thrilling sensation to soar bird like up to the clouds, but, be- iieve me, it is a more pleasant sen- sation to glide gracefully down to earth again.
 It is a pretty sure thing that what goes up is very apt to come down again fexcepting, of course, the cost of liv- :ng) It is about that coming down again I would remark.
 There are two principal ways of com ing down from a joy ride in an aero plane; one is the graceful glide afore- said, which Is all that could be de- sired. The other ends if an ungraceful and sickening thud.
 And believe me. once more. you can almost hear that "thud" while cavort- ing among the clouds at an altitude of 5000 feet or whereabouts, especially when a wrecked aeropi7ne lie9 ha' V plainly in your view.
