A Monstrous Tide.

The bay of Fundy forms cul-de-sac
at which the Atlantic ocean seems to
have taken a special spite and at reg
ular intervals pours into 1t an enor-
nous amount Of water. Take the har-
Dor of st. John as an illustration OF
what this mighty tide must be. In
most parts of the world tide OF ten
feet is considered something abnor'
NAL, but at ST. John 1t rises twenty to
twenty four feet in good weather. In
stormy weather the monotony is va
ried by the high water mark being
pushed up even ten or fifteen feet
higher.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
An Unexpected Meeting With a Long
Lost Set of Dishes.

Lost Set of Dishes.
In the American Magazine the story
Of curious coincidence is told in
letter written by Elsie B. Hart of San
Gabriel, CAL:
"In the early days in California very
little china was used that did not come
from the orient. A man whose home
was In Folsom, who preferred the CHI
ma Of Europe. took advantage of a WIS.,

time this was packed and shipped to
San Francisco by sailing vessel round
the Horn, but after long delay the YES
sci was given up as lost and was new

Years afterward the Californian
while travelling in China was invited
to dine at the home Of a missionary

surprise, he commented on the beauty
Of the china, and this called forth al

Our Own Stellar System and What
May He Beyond II.


Our Own Stellar System and What
May BE Beyond II.
In one of the latest conceptions OF
astronomers the stellar universe has
diameter OF 10000 to $4,000 light years,
with thickness OF 1900 to 5000, and
our sun has place little removed
from the center. 1t embraces 3O.O0O.-
600 to.5O 100000 stars within the range
Of telescope visibility. with dark ana
invisible bodies whose number cannot
be computed.
So far as can be determined the stars
are surprisingly uniform in mass, the
range OF variation being not more than
fftyfold, but in density the range Is
from more than twice that of the sun
10 only one-millionth and In absolute
luminosity or brightness from 3.Ooo
times that Of the sun TO about one
three-thousandth. The temperature
rises from near absolute zero in the
nebulae to 10000 degrees G. in certain
giant hot stars.
1t is suggested that our universe may
be not the only one and that the small
Magellanic cloud, for instance, per
haps 10000 light years distant, may be
a relatively small universe Of about
1000 light years In diameter.
Another separate star system at sim
liar distance is possibly, astronomers
hold, the Andromeda nebula.-Newarh

VALUE OF CooPERATIoN

The Sunday afternoon lecture in
the Temple theater was well attend
ed by most appreciative audience.
Friar Tuck of DeLand, the "Wizard
of the Lecture Platform gave a
thoro talk on Facts and Fancies.n
His theme of concerted cooperation
in all things pertaining to the social
and business life of women and men.
was ably covered Interlined with
wit and humor which gave zest to
the points needed in impressing a
thought for memory retention He
said that Florida was the greatest
state in the Union and a glowing
tribute to Gods country indeed; ev-
erything here to make it the home of
contented being. However while all
the advantages were here, yet the one
particular part was but in its in
fancy and that of cooperation. His
observations through the state
brought to his mind very forcibly the
fact that while everything could be
grown and raised in Florida, yet the
all important factor remained un-
solved; and that is the marketing of
the products.
He dwelt at length on the new
movement of the Florida Marketing
Bureau, which is making rapid strides
in the right direction, of the endorse
ment of the marketing department of
the department of agriculture of the
u. S. government, of the assistance
given to the bureau by Mr.. C. E. Bas-
sett, and the interest now being man
Tested throughout the state.
Such lectures as these must do
good, the people must know their
own responsibilities, the new corners
must profit by this movement so that
their lot when choosing Florida for
their future home may be assured,
that to start little farm will prove
a pleasure and a living profit. This
will make everyone happy and con-
tented.
Friar Tuck is able to hold the at
tention of an audience and we wish
him success in his object of bringing
this message to all the people in the
state.

MOVE THE DRUGSTORE
NEXT MONDAY

The Biting & Knight drugstore
will be moved next Monday to its new
location on North Magnolia street,
one block south of the Seaboard pas
senger depot.
The store room is now being nicely
fitted up and when completed will be
one of the best equipped and most
modern in the city. A new soda
fountain will be installed as soon as
the spring season opens up.
The Biting & Knight store will
this spring make speciality of field
and garden seeds and already its
large stock has begun to arrive.
Mr.. Biting says that his present
stand is not as desirable as it was
prior to the moving Of the city mar
ket tenants all over the city, hence
his determination to move to the
northern part of the city.
