AGASSIZ AND A HERRING.
And a Student Who Finally Succeeded
In Making a Discovery.

IN MAKING IIeCoNeiy
A student enrolled in Agassiz's class.
For several days Agasslz paid no atten-
ton to him whatever. At length, tired
of standing around idle, the student
asked Agassiz to give him something to
do. AgaSsiz's reply was to hand him a
herring and to say. Study this" The
student was bewildered, but set about
studying" it. The next day Agassiz
asked him what he had learned about
the herring. The student replied that it
had two eyes. so many fins and sush
and such markings.
mo, no.! AgassiZ cried. Study it
more. Those things are not important"
The next day and the next the expe-
rience was repeated. The fourth day
Agassiz again demanded information
about the now rOtting specimen. In a
desperate attempt at humOr the stu
dent replied. well, it's the same on
both sides"
That's it"' shouted Agassiz. That's
it! A startish isn't the same on both
sides, an oyster isn't, thousands of
specimens of the sea are not When
you find one that is. you've found a
starting point in a new stage in the
evolution of life"
Obviously, that student learned more
from that one lesson about the scien-
titc method Of study than he would
have learned in years reading and
lectures. The Textbooks would bovo
taught him the facts; Agassiz taught
him the method of learning all facts

NO DEBATE COMING.

Senator Duncan U. Fletcher anc
Hon. John \. c. Stockton will not en-
gage in a joint debate over this sen.
atorial contest. The following is the
correspondence which passed between
these candidates;
The letter Of Senator Fletcher to
Mr., Stockton is as follows:
Dear Sir;-It is my purpose to
hold a public meeting at the DuvaI
theater next Saturday evening, be-
ginning at S o'clock promptly, at
which l propose to throw all the
light l can on my record as senator.
You have criticised that record and
raised objections to my reelection.
l take pleasure in extending to you
this invitation to take equal part in
that meeting, and present as fully
as you like any issues you may
claim to exist, your reasons why
you should be elected, and why l
should not succeed myself.
These matters We can submit to
our home people on such a division
of time and on such terms as you
prefer. with the one condition that
whoever opens the discussion shall
have twenty minutes to close.
! will be glad TO have your reply
as soon as possible.
(Signed) DUNCAN U. FLETCHER.
Mr.. Stockton's reply to the chal-
lenge to meet Senator Fletcher is as
follows:
Dear Sir:-Your letter of April
p has been received by me toda..
l can see no necessity for a joint de-
bate between US. You admit that
you voted for Lorimer twice, and
that you signed the Bailey tele-
gram. You have not denied that
you opposed Woodrow Wilson in his
candidacy for the Democratic nom
nation for president of the United
States. You do not deny that you
voted several times with Aldrich,
of Rhode Island, on items contain
ed in the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
If an explanation of these things is
due to any one. it is due to the DEM
ocrats of Florida. and not to me.

LOVERS OF PEACE
WITH A WAR-SPIRIT.

TIL, young men attending Yale and
Harvard and other universities are
holding meetings to talk over the war
question and some very belligerent
talk is being uttered. Then it was
reported last week that 5000 New
York peddlers We're eager to enlist,
while it is also said that large num-
Der of Greeks fresh from the Balkan
wars are ready to spring to Presi-
dent Wilson's standard in case he
calls for volunteers.
Here in Palatka IS young men, the
flower of the city's young manhood,
enlisted on couple days notice.
They didn't seem to care much for or
ganizing a local military company for
the sake of the drill and its social fea-
lures, and that was the only catch
there would have 'een no hesitancy
were their services ;anted for an in
vasion of Mexico.
We naturally look on these things
as oddities in the war news Of the day.
They come to our attention because
they are mentioned in the news Of
the day and because they are oddl-
ties. However, these extreme and BIZ
zarre incidents show US and show the
other nations of the world how ready
for war this peace-loving nation is.
If 5000 peddlers are ready for war
in New York, how many clerks, driv-
ers, blacksmiths, masons and carpen-
tiers would the same city show to be
ready? If the college boys are hold
ing war meetings, would not the law
yers or doctors hold even bigger meet
ings if they saw war Immediately be-
fore our faces? If the young men of
Palatka are ready to enlist at the first
suggestion of possible war, what
would the young men of the larger
cities all over the United States do in
response to call for volunteers?
We say over and over to each other
and to outside peoples that we do not
want war. We are the descendants
and successors of minute men who did
not want war, of frontier Indian
fighters who did not want war, of
southerners and northerners who hop
ed for a peaceable settlement Of the
questions of slavery and state-rights.
Like our fathers we want peace and
like our fathers we are prepared for
trouble when trouble is inevitable.
The noise of guns at Vera Cruz has
shown the rulers of nations and the
people of this country that we are
the same peace-loving and fearless
people we always We're, the same pa
cifc and notwithstanding Americans
with whom all our foes have reckoned.
The response to the threatening
danger of war has been such as to
assure all of us that American patri-
otism is still living and triumphant
force, and this should help move Gen. |
Huerta and Gen Carranza and their |
sympathizers in outside countries. 1t
does move them.

beauties. Point Barrow. its northern
most cape, is warmer than any point
in the world as far north of the equa
tor. Its southern shores are likewise
warmer than any point in the world
in similar attitudes during the winter
months as the result of the influence
of the Japan current.
IsotheTmal lines show TINT some OF
the southeastern sections have eli
mate more temperate and more equa-

climatic belts are known as the coast
region and the interior. The coast re-
gion is rainy. has mild winters and cool
summers. The interior region is. for the
most part. dry. has severe winters and
short but warm summers. The immense
quadrangle is divided into three zones
by lofty mountains. which leave be-
tween them broad plains, through
which the Yukon. with more than
1000 miles of navigable waters and the
Kuskokwim with 600. open up its vast

The Old Days at Harvard.

Stanwood Pier quotes curious anec-
dote by Professor Sidney Willard of
the class of lT9S In spite of its age.
the story has some very modern fea-
lures.
The students who boarded at com
mons wrote Professor Willard, were
obliged to go to the kitchen door with
their bowls or pitchers for their sup
pers. where they received their modi-
cum of milk or chocolate in the vessel
that each held in one hand and their
piece of bread in the other and repair
ed to their rooms To take their solitary
repaSt. There were suspicious at times
that the milk was diluted with mix
ture of very common. tasteless fluid.
which led IA sagaciOus Yankee student
TO put the matter to a test by asking
the simple carrier boy why his mother
did not mix the milk with warm water
instead of cold.
-She does. replied the honest youth.

THE CORN BELT
MOVING SOUTH.

The Jacksonville Metropolis says
at seems as though corn should be
grown most successfully in Florida"
The last report of the Florida State
Commissioner Of Agriculture shows
the production of 5,453,9 1886 bushels of
corn in 1912, every county in the State
being represented excepting a few in
the eXtl.'le South.
The growing CT corn is not a case
Of seeming. It's So A putnam
County Corn CLUB boy last year, I'M
der adverse conditions, produced 81
bushels on a single acre. Putnam
county produces Irish potatoes as well
as it does corn. There are many prof
table crops common to Florida. This
talk of moving the corn belt South"
is good talk, but corn has always been
grown in the South, but it has not
been made speciality of. The South
grows cotton, crop that does not
grow in the so called northwestern
corn belt. The South grows many
other things not possible in the North,
but we must not run away with our
selves.
Some Florida folks have the alfalfa
fever. Alfalfa is a desert plant, and
alfalfa has been godsend to the arid
west. Florida has in the little consid-
cred beggar weed the equal of alfalfa
and we have beans and peas, and 9TH
err products of high nutritive quail
ties, not possible in the North, but
there is a disposition to run off to the
end of the rainbow for the pot of gold
suppose to be there.
Nature has been kind to the South.
We don't have to move any belts down
here. All we need is to go to it, in
any staple and success is assured. We
don't need to be told from Baltimore
by any organization or propaganda
that the South has rainfall and posi-
bilities of soil enrichment and produc-
tivity. That is well known and has
been preached for years and examples
of what can be done stand out like
a wart on mans nose, in every SOU

a wonderful crop, and so is cotton,
and SO, too, potatoes, and a long list
of other crops. All the South needs |
is TO beStir itself.

A Jacksonville paper contains a
page advertisement by a whisky
house, showing Andrew Jackson,
Florida's first Governor, in the act of
drinking a glass of liquor. This
booze concern in this way welcomes
the Confederate Veterans to the Re-
union. The law in some states pro-
hibits the use of pictures of individ-
ualS for advertising purposes without
their consent. We presume Old Hick-
DRY was not averse to the use of Ii
quor, but to use his picture to try and
popularize what is a positive evil is
a crime. There should be a law to
prevent the use of pictures of eminent
men in this disgraceful way, men who
are not now here to protest.
