KICKING ABOUT AN
OUT OF DATE COACH

A number of the travelling men
who travel on Sunnyjim. the popular
train between Ocala and Lakeland,
are kicking on coach No. 200, in use
on that run. They allege that the
springs under the car are in such
bad shape that riding in it is un-
comfortable. and that the toilets are
in a very unsanitary condition. Mr..
NJ. E.. Robinson is circulating a petit
tion to the A. c. L. officials to have
200 replaced with better coach.
Sunnyjim is popular train,
with a specially clever set of men to
run it, and the Coast Line should
give it proper equipment.

"HERE is no substance that enters into
such intimate relations with che human
body as does rubber. The average
baby not only derives his early nourishment
through rubber nipple but exercises his
coming teeth upon rubber ring. Old enough
to play, he often chews his rubber toys. The
surgeon uses it in his explorations of our body
during operations and the dentist completes
the cycle begun with the nipple by setting our
nice new porcelain teeth into rubber gums.

1t is soft and sticky and readily undergoes
spontaneous oxidization to a hard brittle,
resinous substance. BY determination, a
process in which mixtures of the crude gum
with sulphur, or metallic sulphides or oxides,
are heated, rubber is formed which is more
permanently elastic and less subject to spon-
taneous change.
The simplest type of vulcanzed rubber. such
as would be obtained from a properly heated
mixture of sulphur and pure gum, is quite soft
and offers little resistance to ordinary rough
usage
Rubber Of tougher qualities, but with lower
elastic limits, is produced by the addition of
metallic oxides, such as those of lead and of
zinc, to the other ingredients before vulcaniza-
ton. Among other constituents added to give
required characteristics are the various pig

Fantastic Schemes 76r6ze Invasion Of England
HoW England, for More I
Than 100 Years, Has Been
Thro1Un Into Occasional
Spasn1s of Terror by
Suggested Plans of Conquest

A 7 the present moment large
"A part of the population of Eng
land is in a state of acute
alarm over the possibility of a Ger
man invasion of the island.
The form in which the invasion
is feared varies from the possible
Zeppelin raid to the most fantastic
schemes.
The English newspapers are filed
with cartoons intended to suggest
the fantastic character of whole
sale German invasion, but the prep
arations made show that the English
take the danger very seriously.
One picture shows the German
army marching under the sea to
England in divers suits. This con-
solingly suggests to Englishmen the
difficulty of reaching their island and
at the same time acknowledges that
the Germans are a people who take
an enormous amount of trouble.
Ever since the Napoleonic wars
the English have been in times of
excitement accustomed to discuss the
possibility of invading their country.
Many Britons have loudly declared
it impossible, but some excellent au-
thorities, including Lord Roberts.
have maintained the possibility.
Napoleon planned to invade the
country with the aid of great fleet
of barges loaded with soldiers, and
propelled by oars, and escorted by
warships. A storm interfered with
the first attempt and then events
elsewhere made a renewal impos-
sible.
Old prints of that period show
that the English then discussed the
most fantastic projects of invasion,
just as they are doing to-day. An
ingenious print, published in 1898,
shows huge French raft propelled
by windmills conveying thousands of
French soldiers. This was quite a
