EIectrifyino Terminals,

An investigating committee, financed
by the railroads themselves, is said
to have drawn up a report in favor of
electrifying all passenger lines within
the city of Chicago, including thvse
devoted to suburban service. Such a
report should end all controversy on
this long-discussed matter, and usher
in the era Of action. The city council
should provide for prompt electri1ca-
ton in any terminal ordinance that
may be passed, and the executive
branch of city government must see
to it that such provision is enforced.
This will make beginning-and only
begiGning-in the work of clearing
smoke and scot out of Chicago's at
mosphere. Railroads are not the only
offenders in this regard. though OF
necessity they are the most conspicu-
Gus ones.-Chicago Journal

have succeeded in establishing them
selves in a number OF industries
where their presence is unexpected.
There are 70 women paperhangers and

COLONEL WEST BUYS THE Nc
GEHEE LUMBER COMPANY

The property and all the belongings,
real and personal, of the McGehee
Lumber Company, located at Levon,
in this county, we're sold at public
outcry Monday at 1870 o'clock in the
afternoon by Judge William Gober,
special commissioner, and was bid in
by Colonel w. S. West, for $4,000.
Quite a number attended the sale,
apparently with the purpose of buy
ing the property. The bids began at
$4,000 and continued to increase I'M
til they reached the figures above
named, when it was knocked down to
Senator West.
Among others who came to Ocala
to see Georgia's newly made senator
were DR.. and Mrs. Reeves of Inver-
ness. Mrs. Reeves is the senator's
daughter. She also had with her her
little daughter, which the senator ca
ressed most affectionately. The SEN
ator's brother and a whole squad OF
his old friends were present to meet
him.

following gentlemen:
Nd. l.. wartmann, the fruit and
vegetable grower Of citra. addressed
the meeting. and said that he was
glad II had been called, as IL had been
a means Of a better understanding OF
the change in rates. He said he be-
lieved the Misunderstanding of the
proposed changes in weights, etc.,
vas responsible for a great deal OF
the present agitation. Mr.. Wartmann
also expressed the opinion that the
placIng of the same rates on all sec
tons would be a great blessing to
Florida on account of being nearer &c
the larger market centers than some
of her competitors.
Frank Harris made a short speech
In which be said he was gratified to
learn from traffic authority that the
rates in the future would be the same
ON commodities from Florida as they
were coming into the state.
E. I. Howell. possibly the largest
cantaloupe grower in the country
said that he had learned a great deal
AZ the meeting. and is especially glad
10 learn that he can now ship his pro
ducts 10 many large cities. that un'
der the former program of rates II
practically compelled him TO ship to
only n few on account Of the excess
I've rates to other markets. though
no further from here than the estao'
lished ones, which seemed to have the
only rates that would allow ship

Secretary Rooney said that he was
clad that the meeting had been called
as II gave the express company a
chance TO get right down TO figures
and thoroughly explain its position
I'm regard TO the new rates. In other
words, Il was a get together" affair
and he believed that all who attend
ed had been benefited by II.

opinion that the meeting was any
thing but failure. as 1t had brought
together the growers and the trans

they were called on to explain various

STRIKES IN ODD WAYS
vAcARIEs OF CYCLONE ARE IN
COMPREHENSIVE.
Reports Of Their Action Read Like
the Work Of Imaginative Writer'S
Of Fiction, Though They Carry
Only Actual Truth.

Cyclones of the sort that recently
devastated the colliery valleys OF
South Wales are very rare in this coun-
Try, says Pearson's Weekly. This
particular storm, the fiercest ever
Known In Britain, carried man near
ly a quarter of a mile through the
air before dashing him down to death
t threw tombstones about, hurled shop
goods into the street and took the
roofs off hundreds of houses.
Cyclones as a rule occur only in hot
countries. Their fierceness is due to
a sort of a hole in the atmosphere
The air all around rushes in with ire
mendous force to fill up this hole. So
a cyclone is really sort of cart
wheel of winds. fierce gales blowing
along each spoke toward the hub,
which is called the 'eye" of the cy-
clone.
In cyclone the "cartwheel" is
much smaller than in an ordinary
storm, and the winds are correspond
ngly fiercer. There are authentic in
stances of cyclones driving flying nails
INTO trees and planks right up to the
slead Straws, too, have been driven
half through stout doors.
A very curious thing about cyclones
IS that a house caught in the eye OF
one has its doors and windows burst
outward, not in. This was noticed in
Wales, and accounts for the contents
Of shops being hurled into the street.
The reason is that the eye of tor
nado being empty Of air, the pressure
Of air within closed house against
the empty space outside makes the
house burst outward as if it contained
4 charge of dynamite. Air everywhere
has a pressure of fourteen pounds to
the square inch.
1t is this suction that makes a cy-
clone draw corks from any empty bot
ties it finds in its path.
Any one caught in cyclone often
finds that dust or mud is driven into
his clothes under such pressure that
repeated washings refuse to remove it.
The tremendous lifting power at the
eye of cyclone is shown not only by
It's hurting men and even sheds into
the air, but by the curious fact that it
usually leaves every well in its path
quite dry. 1t is this upward suction
that accounts for waterspouts at sea.
In countries where cyclones are COM
mon every house has cyclone eel
lar" close at hand for use when a cy-
clone is on it's way.
> The only good point about cyclone
as compared with an ordinary storm
is, that the track along which it trav-
els is always a very narrow one. It's
path is seldom more than 200 or 800
yards broad. On each side Of the
track where O cyclone is spreading
death and destruction the weather is
often quite average.

the "LoNc AND SHORT HAUL"


Speaking of the "long and short
haul" which is of such intense I'M
portance 20 every interior town In
Florida, the Kissimmee Leader says:
perhaps It is not generally known
10 what extent this long and short
haul Is exercised I'm interior towns.
To illustrate: A sack or corn or oats
may be shipped from Jacksonville
through Rissimmee to Tampa for
eleven cents; the same sack shipped
from Jacksonville to Kissimmee di
rect costs twenty cents. A barrel OF
-four shipped from Jacksonville tc
Tampa through Kissimmee for TWEEN
ty-one cent?: from Jacksonville &c
Kissimmee IL costs thirty-ive cents
To 20 a little further: A ton OF fer
tilizer shipped from Jacksonville &c
) Tampa through Kissimmee for Sl.6O;
from Jacksonville to Kissimmee
s2.2O. II is very plain therefore that
Kissimmee pays upon grain from
jacksonville nine cents more per sacF
than Tampa pays; fourteen cents
per barrel more on flour than Tampa
NAYS: sixty cents more for fertilizer
than Tampa pays. Thus the interior
merchants is charged much greater
rate than the Tampa merchant. ii
anyone supposes for a moment that
this comes out of the merchants peck
ct, he is very much mistaken, as It is
properly added to the actual cost, so
in the long run the excessive charge
comes out of the consumer. and the
only way to avoid that is to have our
railroad commission stand by the law
passed by the last session of the leg
islature that is. prohibiting the charg-
ing of more for a short haul than for
n long haul, and to persuade them
that il is wise and proper not to exer'
else the rights conferred by this law
upon them, TO waive these rates in
certain specific cases.
1T seems to be a very unwise poll
cy for the railroads to desire to do
this, because all inland points pay
the railroads freight on all articles
that enter or go out-while at water
competitive points they receive pay
only on a portion of the shipments

DANCE AT LAKE WEIR

The "spook" dance given at the
pretty little Lake Weir yacht club
Monday night was a very pleasant
and enjoyable event. In spite of the
cold weather there was a very good
attendance from all around the lake,
and everybody had a good time. The
dancing was continued until a late
hour, and during the evening delecta.
BILE refreshments were served.
The officers of the yacht club did
everything possible for the pleasure
of those in attendance, and the
"spooky" affair was one of the
pleasantest things on the yacht club
calendar for this season.
Notwithstanding the cold weather
quite few drove down from Ocala
to enjoy the dance.

On a Money Basis.

The astronomers try by formidable
arrays OF figures to tell us many
things about the heavenly bodies; but
abstract figures are not easy to COM
prehend.
One amateur has hit upon the
scheme Of using money values to show
the weight of the planets compared
with the sun.
Taking 500 as the earth's value, the
moon would be worth about a quar-
ter, and Venus SIS. Some Of the PLAN
cts would have a respectable value,
$1.S40 for Saturn and $4,000 for Jupi-
ter.
But the only approach to a million
aire is the sun, worth on this basis
$6.7So, 900!
I Perhaps this contrast in dollars and
cents may help to convey the suns
enormous size.

HEALING ON THE SABBATH DAY

9. And when he was departed
thence, he went into their synagogue:
10. And, behold, there was a man
which had his hand withered. And
they asked him, saying Is it lawful to
heal on the Sabbath day? that they
might accuse him.
II. And he said unto them: What
man shall there be among you that
shall have one sheep, and if it fall
into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he
not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
II. How much, then, is man bet
ter than O. sheep Wherefore it is
lawful to do well on the Sabbath days
Is. Then saith he to the man:
Stretch forth thine hand. And he
stretched it forth; and it was restor-
ed whole, like as the other.
IA. Then the Pharisees went out
and held council against him, how
they might destroy him.
