NATURE DETECTIVES.
Experts Who Watch the Early
Plants, Birds, and Insects.

Plants, Birds. and Insects.
From the London Standard.
One hundred and fifty nature experts
are now searching the hedgerows from
Lands End to John O. Groats for the
first red hazel flower.
They form the little known corps of
chronological observers attached to the
Royal Meteorological Society, which has
furnished them with lists of plants,
birds, and insects on which it requires a
strict watch to be kept. The hazel is the
first plant Of the year, the arrival into
blossom of which will be made the sub
ject of 100 reports from as many differ
ent parts of the country.
No secret of country life is hidden
from the jealous members of the So
ciety's nature investigation depart
ment" From the hazel this month to
the ivy next winter; from the first rich
note of the song thrush to the disap-
pearance of the swallow a record will
be taken and sent by the mature detec-
tives'' to the headquarters in Victoria
Street.
The task of the observers is not SO
easy as may appear to the novice. for
nature lays many traps. Flowers must
be officially observed at the moment
when 1.-THE stamens OF the first blossom
first become visible" II this Is missed
by a day the report loses in value, while
the plants observed must not be too
sheltered or too exposed to the weather.
These observations, extending over a
period of years, are valuable in deter
mining the effect Of weather on nature"
pointed out William Marriott, of the
Royal Meteorological Society. ''The re-
ports are classified and studied in con-
junction with the weather conditions 1t
an earlier stage-a period in each case
when the variation in the weather may
be taken as infiuencing plant bird. and
insect life."

Small canneries
for Florida.

A news ttsn says that st. Cloud. q
small. new and fast growing town In
South FIcE1da. u erecting a canning
factory to cost $4,000. There Is no
novelty In this announcement. They
are going up all over the state. but
there should be moro Of them. The
wisdom Of having small canneries and
plenty Of them has been demonstrated
in many places This il not meant to
irnply that the ST. Cloud proposition Is
= small one.
Perhaps In no part Of the South have
tomatoes and ether vegetables az well
as small fruits been grown with more
success than in the far famed Shenan-
doah valley Of Virginia The method
in that section. OF course, Is to ship the
earliest and best Of the products to the
rorthern and eastern markets and can
the surplus, and 1t may be added the
surplus Is an extremely large one. Of
course there are many large canneries
there. but there are literally hundreds
Ct smaller ones. And i. is the latter
that yield the largest prvfits and are Of
the greatest benent to their commune
ties.
Florida can grow all fruits and vege-
tables that win grow anywhere on the
continent and the truck farm problem
may be solved by the small cannery.
Escambia county should have score
or more In operation. These factories
should be prepared to make pickles,
jeIlies and preserves as well as to can
tomatoes, beans. peas. corn and nu-
nierous other things.

AGREES WITH JOURNAL THAT
CONVENTION Is NECESSARY

Century, Fla, Jan. 18th, 1918.
Editor Pensacola journal.
While I have differed with you from
a practical standpoint in some OF your
editorials, mainly as to the proper
course to persue to reach a common
end that we both agree upon, yet your
editorial few days ago with refer
ence to the necessity for a new con-
stitutional convention for our fair state
o< Florida was so thoroughly In line
with my views on this important mat
ter that wish to add my endorsement
to said editorial in the fullest sense
of the word.
I have no fault to find with our
present constitution viewed through
the glasses Of necessity when same
was adopted soon after the close of
the civil war and can only admire
the wisdom Of the delegates who COM
posed the membership of the conven-
ton that drafted said constitution, but
the constitution then adopted has been
amended from time to time, at nearly
every general election for the past 20
years, and it now has so many stick
ing plasters' or amendments" to it
that It can hardly be recognized as the
original.
L tried, few years ago, to get hold
of an up-to-date code of Florida, but
upon Investigation found that would
have to buy an ordinary library Of
books to get all the amendments and
changes that have been made since
the present constitution was adopted.
It now requires diligent search on
the part Of those versed in law to give
an intelligent opinion on a great many
constitutional matters, or at least
am SO advised, and with the change of
times and the necessity Of progressive
measures and laws / believe one of the
wisest things our next legislature could
do would be to call a constitutional
convention; then with selection of
our best men to represent us In that
convention we should be able to So
cure fundamental laws that will more
nearly meet the requirement Of the
times, any such constitution as writ
ten at such convention to be submitted
to the people for ratification, this thor
oughly protects our people and gives
them the final say.
do believe we. should have new
constitution, drawn by safe progress
sive delegates, and when 1 use these
terms I do it advisedly, do not mean
fanatics on either side of the great is
sues Of the day but men who ara IN
telligent and competent to draw con-
stitution that will safeguard to our
people the greater amount Of protec-
tion in life. possessions, and happiness.
Respectfully submitted for what 1t
may be worth, and as my views on
the matter.
Yours truly,
JAS. H. JONES.

War Declared Upon
Kissing in Private.

Kisses in public have long been a
source OF annoyance to and cause Of
protest from non-participants. To the
one not IN 1t kiss in plain sight is
the most Irritating thing in the world.
So legislation has relentlessly pur-
sued the kiss-i public and in many
states has driven 1t from the streets
and railway stations. Out OF consid-
Grafton for grouchy old bachelors and
scre-headed old maids. 1t has been
r1ade unlawful in lots OF places for a
man TO even kiss his own wife when he
meets her after long separation.
It naturally follows that the. kiss
four4shes In private with thousand
field more lushness because 1t Is re-
strfcted, in public. There Is by no
means any diminution Of kissing. It
Is bad taste to kiss in public anyway,
when kissing in private is so much
more genteei.
But the world moves. And now in
St. Louis, where the primitive inno-
Genoa Of paradise Is being restored. war
is declared upon kissing in private.
1t 10 true that the health commits
sioner Of st. Louis proposes to prohibit
only the kisses Of consumptfves. 1t Is
also true that many physicians have
asserted the folly and danger of such
! kisses. But 1t has remained for St.
Louis to set detectives on the watch
and make the caiaboose penalty.
This health commissioners must be q
man Of great courage. He has under
taken a big Job. II he succeeds In in
tercepting all the kissing Of st. Louis
and holding it up until medical examina-
ton has determined the fitness of the
kissahle parties, he win have accom-
] plished wonders.
II he succeeds, it may be expected
to become the fashion in St Louis for
the wootng young man to take a ply
sician with him. When the ardent one
, declares his undying love, wins a con-
fession Of love in return and presses
for the seal Of affection. he will be told
{ not to "see papa" but to ''see the doc
tor"
There is big business in sight for
; examining physicians as wen as for
the detectives. The health commits
sioner can hardly be accused OF having
neglected the interests Of his profess
.eion.
But love h fertile in e1pedients. If
this scheme works. the youths of st.
Louis are not up to the average.
