To the Florida Division of the Unit
ed Confederate Veterans:

Gu SOulCucIdI0 tCtCAoAS.
MY Dear Comrades: 1t is with a
keen sense Of my obligations to you,
my comrades, that I come to bring
an account of my administration of
the trust that you have honored me
with at your last convention. When
1 recall the unexpected kindness
that placed me at the head of the
Division; the great surprise of my
life to wake up in the morning and
find myself the recipient of the
highest honor that could be be-
slowed upon any citizen Of our State
the commander in chief of the
Florida Division, United Confede-
rate Veterans realize that 1 can
not find words to compass my graf
itude, or express my thanks.
This one thought is very precious
to me: II am in one sense, at least,
Tin line with those noble men-Dick-
inson, Ballentine, Fleming, Jewell,
Witch, Law, Davant. Pasco, Cox
and Partridge-who did not seek the
post of honor, or descend to the po-
litical arena to secure place; but
with a dignified humility, in the
ranks waited for the Office to claim
the man." Let this first personal
touch with my comrades bring you
my hearty assurance of love and of
gratitude.
Let the gratitude of our hearts
again descend to the God of Battles,
who kept us in the days of hard
ship, and through the scenes of
bloodshed and death that disciplined
us in our days of interstate warfare.
Let us thank God that we meet
again upon this side Of the river.
We are here in this hospitable
city, the guests of this good corner
in Dixie's land. Let US make the
most of it.
l commend unto you, my comrades
that brotherly kindness that should
characterize the conduct of all OF
our proceedings. II we have differ.
ences of opinion, let US esteem him

our comrades in the ranks, your
commander especially invites the Dr.
vision to speak from the heart in
tribute to their memories.
Your commander is pleased to re-
port upon the Soldiers Home, in the
city of Jacksonville. from q personal
knowledge. Under the excellent
management of Comrade Hy Robin
son, and the generous provision
made by our State, the purposes OF
the Home are realized in substantial
comforts to our worthy comrades.
There are at present thirty inmates
at the home. Comrade Robinson,
president of the board of trustees,
has maintained excellent discipline.
His love for the cause, and his un-
firing personal and intelligent at
tention have won great success.
Since your last convention, our
State has entertained successfully
the Federation of Southern Confed-
crate Camps. Jacksonville as host
ess city accomplished a wonderful
success in providing so much for so
many. 1t is estimated that over
100000 persons came to Florida to
attend the reunion. 1t was most
gratifying fact to your commander
to have our Division attend In such
, large numbers.
We have not reached ideal condi-
tions in our efforts to have the Sons
of Veterans organize and affiliate
with us. They are the heirs to
! whatever history we have made in
the past, but generally speaking
they manifest little interest in the
things that interest us most. Com
rades-C omrade: Have you. have l
, done our duty to encourage their in
terest?
The organization OF the United
Daughters of the Confederacy is full
of activities, and the State Division
numbers many members. This body,
like the Sons, was adopted into our
organization by resolution passed
at our Barlow reunion. Your COM
mander wishes to say to any of
them present that their presence
brings pleasure and inspiration to
, us; and to renew the invitation to
ATTEND our sessions, at any and all
times.
The monument to the memory Of
,thc woman of the Southern Confed-
. eracy will be presented fully in a
, report from the board of trustees.
There has been no lack upon the
part of the trustees to complete the
necessary work of financing the
proposition. The report of the
trustees treats in detail this most
important work; and your COM
mander commends unto you this
message from your servants.
In conclusion, your commander
, begs your indulgence in the exer-
cises that are to follow. If you will
favor him with good and orderly at
tention, aid him in his honest de-
! termination to facilitate business,
be charitable in criticising the

Of your kindness, and his best effort
to make this a profitable reunion.

The Orlando Citizen says that
some of these days the price OF or
anges and grapefruit may take a
disastrous slump, as cotton has. and
then we will pay the price of our
folly in relying on one crop for
money. Here in Polk county we
have several other products as we'll
as oranges and grapefruit to bring
us in the cash-strawberries, for in
stance-but there can be a slump in
those things also, and the Citizen is
wise when it says that "the remedy
is cattle. for all the world wants
beef and the price constantly goes
higher" Overproduction along that
line is not possible now and there
is no more profitable form of prop
erty than a fat steer. Florida is
coming into nationwide recogni-
ton as an exceptionally fine country
for cattle raising where the costly
item Of winter feed has been reduced
to the minimum by nature itself
with an open range every DAY in the
year. AS a consequence cattle mar
kets like Chicago are now looking to
Florida about as regularly for beef
on the hoof as to the great ranges
OF Texas and other States in the
West, and II our people will furnish
the cattle there will always be a
good market for them and there will
be no peril of freeze or over-produc-
ton to encounter.

VIBRATIONS ARE REGISTERED
Lengths and Intervals Of Heart Sounds
May Be Determined to Small
Fraction Of Sound.

Modifying the pressure-measuring
hames Of Koenig, Prof. X. Marbe Of
the Academy of Frankfort.on. the. Main
registers in a simple way various
kinds of intermittent vibrations. such
as speech. alternating currents, and
especially the beats of the heart. A
naked flame produces rings of smoke
on a moving paper ribbon just over
1t, the rings varying with the vibra.
tons OF the flame. and the rate Of vi.
bration may be registered by using
two names. For recording heart
beats, a rubber membrane stretched
on ring is placed over the heart,
and the pulse vibrations are transmit
ted through tube OF gas to the flame.
The vibrations are indicated on the
ribbon, and at one side a second fame,
oscillated by an electric tuning fork
OF 100 vibrations per second, makes a
second row Of traclngs. Comparing
the two strips Of blackened images
thus made side by side, the lengths
and intervals Of heart sounds may be
determined to fractions OF about one
hundredth OF a second.

SCIENCE,
AND
INVENTION
LIST OF GREAT INVENTIONS
Sound Producing instruments and Me-
chanlcal Music Contrlvances Are
Not Mentioned.

Some time ago the Scientific Ameri-
can offered prizes Of $3.50, $100 and $50
for the three best essays naming the
ten greatest modern inventions and,
the reasons for the choice. First prize
was finally awarded to William l. Wy-l
man of Washington for the following
selections:
The electric furnace, which produces
q heat SO intense as to simulate the
primal forces of nature" Among other
things 1t has reduced the price of
aluminium from over twelve dollars
per pound to less than twenty-five
cents.
The steam turbine, which has eff
fected great economies in steam con-
sumption and is sending the recipro4
eating engine to the scrap heap.
The gasoline automobile, which has
practically revolutionized methods Of
locomotion.
The moving picture, which is now an
Important factor in education and one.
Of the principal sources of cheap and
good amusement.
The aeroplane, the most radical in.
novation in the history OF locomotion,
threatening to revolutionize warfare
and promising large possible CONNER
cial results.
Wireless telegraphy, which has
robbed the sea of most of its terrors,
and has done remarkable things In the
ield Of world communication.
The cyanide process, which has revo-
iutionized the metallurgy of the preci-
Gus metals.
The induction motor, which made
possible the utilization and transmits
sion OF alternating electric current, is
largely responsible for the substitution
OF electric for steam power in the in
dustries and has conserved from 30 to
so per cent of the energy formerly
wasted in whirlng line shafting and
beliing.
The linotype, which has made It
possible to set type almost ten times
as rapidly as before.
Electric welding. making II easy to
Join the most antagonistic metals safe
ly, surely and swiftly.
This is certainly an imposing list
and manifestly good selection. Yet
It is strange that any list OF modern
Inventions should be considered com.
plete without mention OF sound.repro-
ducing instruments and mechanical
music making contrivances.

An optical telegraph intended to I'LL
the place of the telephone for talking
with a deaf person has recently been
Invented by deaf and dumb married
couple. 1t consists essentially Of a
keyboard, as in a typewriter, through
whose keys single electric currents
pass. In each circuit is included an in
candescent lamp with a fiat surface,
bearing letter of the alphabet or a
Roman numeral. Pressing any key
causes the corresponding lamp to glow.
Thus words and sentences are spelled
out and numbers are formed.
The keyboard can be operated as
fast as that of an ordinary typewriter,
so that with practise communication
becomes very smooth and rapid. Each
station, of course, must contain both a
sender and receiver, and these may
be in different rooms or in houses q
long distance. apart.
The instrument can be conveniently
used for conversation between q deaf
person and normal person who is ig
norant Of the finger language. The
silence with which the device Is op
Grated Is very important point In Its
favor. This feature might make 1t es

BURNED HOUSE WITH BODY
Cremation Ceremonies In Dutch New
Guinea Would Seem to Be
Expensive.

Concerning a peculiar custom dis
covered among the natives OF Dutch
New Guinea, this interesting descrip-
tion is given by A. F. X. Wollaston
In the Geographical Journal "On top
Of the first steep ridge we came to
the first native dwelling that we had
seen In the country. II was rec
tangular wooden structure. raised on
piles about five feet from the ground.
A sloping ladder or two or three poles
tied together leads to narrow plat
form, behind which is the living room,
about ten or twelve feet square. In
the middle OF the floor Is square
fireplace, usually lined with sand or
small stones The walls are made
Of split poles placed closely together,
and the roof is made OF the leaves OF
pandanus, or OF palm II any happen
to grow in the neighborhood. There
was a mystery about that first house
which we we're never able to solve.
It was evidently quite newly built, q
small clearing had been made about
II, and few banana and dracoenas
recently planted.
Outside the house were number
Of men, women and children. the men
occupied in cooking large quantities
OF yams and sweet potatoes and great
Jumps OF pigs flesh. We naturally
supposed that II was sort OF house
warming. as in one sense II turned
out to be. The men shook their heads
and pointed in mysterious way To-
ward the house and made the curious
sign which they are accustomed to
make when they talk OF something dis
agreeable. Then they invited us to
enter the house. where we found an
old man sitting by the fire. He was
diseased and decrepit. but appeared
by no means likely to die. He took
n keen interest In our appearance and
enjoyed the tobacco which we gave
him.
when we returned FIVE days later
we found the place utterly deserted
and the house blackened heap ol
ashes, on the top OF which were lying
the charred remains OF human bones
1t was impossible for any one to say
Gye days earlier that the old man was
going TO dle-indeed. he might have
lived for months or even years. Wha,
we may imagine to have happened
was this: That as he was unable to
get about any longer and find his own
food. his relations did not intend tc
support him. and that the prepare
tions we saw were really for his fu
neral feast; but we were puzzled BY
their having cremated him In q newly
built house"
