FLoRIDA'S HIGHEST POINT.
Is Mount Pleasant With an Altitude Of
sol Feet.

Although Florida is region of COM
paratively slight relief, its surface pre-
sents considerable diversity, ranging
from nearly level plain in the coastal
region and the Everglades to deeply
dissected upland in the northern part
of the state, where it is trenched by
steep-walled valleys, and to highland
in the peninsula, where it shows many
more or less rounded depressions sepa-
rated by narrow divides. Attitudes
within the state range from sea level
to more than 200 feet above at places
on the ridge that forms the center of the
peninsula and to about 800 feet above at
the west end of the state, near the north
ern boundaries of Gadsden, Walton,
Santa Rosa, and Escambia counties.
The southern part of the peninsula,
comprising an area about $50 miles long
and over 100 miles in average width,
lies in general less than 30 feet above
sea level. Narrow strips of lowland also
border the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Tallahassee, the capital of the state.
stands about 205 feet above sea level, on
a remnant of the upland which has been
isolated by erosion. According to the
list of attitudes furnished by the Sea-
board Air Line railway, Mount Pleas
ant is sol feet above sea level. This
is the highest accurately determined
point recorded in Florida.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Noble Surprised on
25th Anniversary.
A very large number of the friends OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Noble gathered at
their home last evening to congratulate
them on the 25th anniversary of their
marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Noble had been
invited to supper at A. Lee Cady's and
ON reaching home about $3.50. found their
house full of guests, an orchestra of five
pieces and other evidences of a festive
purpose. They entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion and the evening
was pleasantly spent by all. At the
proper time, A. Lee Cady, as master of
ceremonies, made some happy remarks
and called upon Rev. II. L. Halfacre,
who, in behalf of the guests, presented
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble cut glass berry
dish containing a large number of silver
dollars. He referred to their happy
married life and to their high place in
the esteem of the community and con-
graduated them upon having given to
society four unusually promising sons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble responded gratefully,
after which f. L. Martin read a witty
and appropriate poem, written by Mrs.
Frances Welsby, one of those friends
who could not be present.
A daughter, Mary Evelyn, was born
Feb at Bolivar, Pa. to Mr.. and Mrs.

NOW TO PICK NAVY TEAM
Coaches Pleased with Show
ing Of Men Against Colby.

Annapolis, Md, Nov l5.-The show
ing of the Naval Academy football
team in the second half of the game
against Colby yesterday was pleasing
TO its supporters here, and they feel
that il has a reasonable chance Of
success against the Army eleven.
There is disappointment, however,
over the total failure of the team to
make good with its forward pass plays
and it's inability to stop those used by
Colby. These have been weaknesses Of
the Navy team throughout the season.
Several of the backs used during por-
tions of the game did such good work
that the coaches will have difficulty
in making the final selection. Bates
proved himself "A much more reliable
ground gamer than II. Harrison, the
regular fullback. Failing proved him
self dependable whenever yards were
absolutely needed, and may hold his
place in spite Of Craig's brilliant
running.
Miles, the regular quarter. was not
up to form yesterday and mishandled
punts badly. while Mitchell did better
work than at any other time this sea-
son. Right end is the only position
for which the coaches do not seem 20
have found satisfactory man.

The coaches were well pleased with
the wing defence against the forward
pass IN Saturdays contest Milmore
and Gerrish, however, were weaker in
this department than they were against
Tufts. Both will get plenty of work
this week in breaking up forward pass
formations.
Cavanaugh and Randall both criti-
cised the slowness with which the backs
started in the first period and also the
loose way in which they handled the
ball
Practice will be devoted to the syria

new plays reserved for Syracuse. Ram
