Saloons Not Always Profitable.

Palatkans will have an interest IN
this bit of news concerning AN old
time Palatka young man who moved
to Ocala at the time Putnam county
went dry. We refer to r. l.. keat-
ing. News comes that he has failed
MS saloon business in Ocala. The
Ocala Star tells it thus:
"The saloon business of MessrS: X.
L. Heating & Company, in the Har-
rington Hall block, was closed this
morning on a writ of attachment
taken out by the landlord, Mr.. r. 7.
Adams, for rent due. Mr.. keatings
business has been operated at a loss
for the past two years or more, but
ne had a arrangement with his
,reditors something over a year ago
whereby extension was had on all of
his accounts, but the inevitable has
come and he was forced to give up
the struggle. Mr.. and Mrs. Keat-
ing will leave Ocala, going to Day
tona, where Mr.. Keating's parents
-nave lived for a number of years, 20
reside. They have many friends
here who will be sorry to learn of
the business misfortune that has over
taken them as well as to know they
are to leave Ocala."

nothing said to hurt the feelings of

showed ignorance of the purpose Of
the explosion, which wasn't an explo-

WHO THE ELL IS
ISHAN RANDOLPH"
This Question, Asked a
Few Weeks ago by d Local
Press Correspondent,
Is Answered by the Miami Metropolis
OF last Mo day,


1t was only few weeks ago that
parties interested in the drainage Of
the f'Iorahome section, asked Mr.. lsh-
am Randolph to visit the place ard
give his opinion of the work now be-
ing done. Mr.. Randolph did visit
tlorahome, and did make a report
which he signed, "Isham Randolph,
consulting engineer"
Later some one living in the Flora
home section and who was not pleased
with Mr.. Randolph's conclusions,
wrote and caused to be published a
communication in which he sneering-
ly asked "Who the ell is Isham
Randolph, anyway"
The Palatka News didn't have the
data at hand, at that time, so it could
not have answered the question fully,
though it was not propounded through
the columns of this paper. But 1t has
since learned something of this Mr..
Isham Randolph, whom Mr.. A. w.
fucker of Florahome called in to in
vestigate drainage operations at that
place.
The answer is taken from the Mi
ami Metropolis Of the 18th inst. and
is as follows:.
The best is none too good for
Miami, and the selection of 1sham
Randolph as harbor engineer to
have charge of the very important
improvements for this city is wise.
He may be a little higher priced
than some other, the salary is not
named, but the money will be well
spent. Isham Randolph is a man
of experience, he knows what he Is
doing when he does it, and there is
deal of satisfaction in the knowl-
edge that with this world famous
man on the job there will be no
mistakes, no false moves, no lost
time. Through lack of knowing
what to do and how to do it, Mi
ami has lost many precious years;
but the majority of the present city
council has found out what to do
and Mr.. Randolph knows how to do
it. There will be no more delays
Miami wants deep water harbor
and will get it.
When the United States govern
ment wanted an engineer to advise
as to the construction of the Pana
ma canal, the greatest engineerlnS
feat of century, it secured the
services of Isham Randolph; when
the city of Chicago decided to b'uld
the Chicago canal and the city Of
Milwaukee decided TO buili munich
pal docks which are considered the
most modern of any, lsham Ran
dolph was the man chosen; when
the state Of Florida wanted a com,
olete survey Of the Everglades and
comretent advice as how to ulti-
matelv drain them. it went to lsh-
am Randolph. Because Randolph
stands at the top of his profession;
Dock Commissioner Mcdonald and
the other members of the city coun-
ell with whom he consulted are to
be complimented upon securing the
services of such a competent engln.
eer to have supervisory charge. OF
the harbor and municipal dock i'm
provements at Miami, for that
which is recommended and APPROX
ed by Isham Randolph will not be
questioned by the war department
in Washington.

Skate on Salt.

A skating rink made of salt was
recently exhibited and skated upon at
the Berlin Zoo" Walter Isendahl, in
the Scientific American, says it was
produced by purely chemical means
and without the employment of a
costly refrigerating process. 1t re-
sembled ice in every way, was odor-
less and proof against any heat below
sc degrees Fahrenheit
This salt rink was made after q
process invented and patented by DR..
Edward Arnold. It can be applied
over wood, cement or asphalt, or
boards can be coated with it and as
sembled to form floors. 1t is applied
In successive layers and the "snow"
abraded by the skates can be collect
ed and melted with fresh material.
The quantity required for a single
layer is about one-ffth of a pound
per square foot. A fresh layer applied
twice a week suffices to keep an ordi-
nary rink in repair.

Sense of Direction.

The apparently marvellous way in
which Indians, Eskimos and other
primitive people make their way
through forests, snow-covered areas
or other regions, which have little to
indicate direction to white newcomers,
has led to a widespread belief that
they possess a mysterious sixth sense
of direction. Vilhjalmur Stefanson, the
Arctic traveller, who has lived much
with Eskimos, is very skeptical about
the existence of any superiority of
sense of direction among primitive
peoples of any kind, and gives strong
evidence from personal experience
that Eslimos have no such superior
ity. The ability of Indians and others
to find their way he attributes solely
to their familiarity with the country
through which they are travelling.
They note many things that they have
seen before and that have no signia-
canoe to the stranger in thair land.
White men can and do acquire the
same ability to find their way when
they have learned to know a coun-
try. When the land is equally strange
to the white man and the Indian or
the white man, because of
his better developed reasoning pow
er, is more likely to have a correct
line of direction than the Eskimo.
