more against Toronto in the Canadian
city last Wednesday, started to ride
BIZ McGowan, Jack Dunn benched
both Triple and McAvoy for their out

The New Florida.

The February number of The New
Florida, the official publication of the
Florida Farms & Homes, Inc, was
sent on it's mission of advertising
Florida this week. This fine publ
cation has merits which can be credit
ed to few papers of its class. 1t is
careful in its collection of facts; it
doesn't startle its readers with devel-
opment stories that are only rumors.
But this February number is so filled
with instances of actual development
that it is bound to make its re
in other states sit up and take notice
of what is going on in Florida. M. P.
Walsh, the editor of New Florida, is
one of the most conscientious news
paper men in the State, and his exam
pie of carefulness in securing correct
statements of fact should have a
wholesome influence on those editors
of the State who have been accus-
toned to giving out stories that are,
to say the least, "fishy." 1t is this
sort of publications that have given
Florida an occasional black eye.

That Camphor Farm Deal.

A week or more ago one of the
Jacksonville papers contained story
of the sale Of the great camphor
farm in CLAY COUNTY for the in
significant sum of $6,500,OO0, about
three times the total assessed valu-
alton of the entire county.
Now comes Florida Truism, the Of
fetal publication of the Tampa board
of trade with the reported sale to
the Dupont Powder Company of the
! 900 acre camphor farm near Pa
latka at cost of S6,500,000," and
which it considered to be zone of the
largest deals in country real estate
ever contaminated in this State"
1t is just such "fish stories" as this
that have been "getting our goat" in
Kansas and other sections of the wild
and woody. A six million real estate
deal of country property would in
deed be zone of the largest deals ever
consummated in this State" or any
other state, for that matter.
What are the facts? We don't
know, and so far have been unable to
find out This much we do know:
The only camphor farm in Florida is
located at Satsuma Nights, Putnam
county, about nine miles south of Pa
latka on the Atlantic Coast Line Rail
way. 1t is owned by company of
New York capitalists, and the deal if
made would naturally have "been con-
summated' in New York.
This farm has some 1000 or more
acres under cultivation, and for the
past three years has been distilling
and shipping crude camphor gum. 1t
is valuable piece of property, but
when considered in connection with
$6,500,0 0O-keep your eyes glued to
the money; never mind the camphor
farm.

Dintingushd Visitor.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. R. Mellon enter
tanned the fore part of this week DR.
c. F. Bingaman and sister, Miss
Bingaman, of Pittsburg.
DR.. Bingaman is noted homeo-
pathic physician, and Mr.. Mellon
states that the doctor, who is Mrs
Melons physician, is considered a
man of superior knowledge and abili-
ty in his city, is very wealthy and
has done much toward establishing
many important institutions in Pitts
burg, among which is the fine thor
oughly equipped new Homeopathic
Hospital, with it's nurses training
school, which graduates a large class
every year. DR.. Bingaman was the
Star witness in the famous Harry X
Thaw case, and gave expert testimony
as to his mental condition. He was
the Thaw's family physician. DR..
Bingaman and sister were travelling
companions of Mr.. and Mrs. Mellon
on their trip around the world, on
the cleveland" in 1910. , The doc
tor and sister left Tuesday for Il
continuation of their southern trip,
going from here to St. Petersburg,
then to Palm Beach and perhaps to
Cuba.
Mr.. Mellon favors the allopathic or
regular school of medicine, and told
of new Allopathic Hospital which
has been erected lately in Pittsburg
at cost of one and one-half million
dollars. Mr.. Mellon is president of
the new hospital and also president
of a number of philanthropic insti-
buttons of his native city, one of
which, for juvenile delinquents, is very
dear to his heart. One of his trav-
cling companions on his, trip around
the world was man who had been
one of the unfortunates, but who had
risen to be man of power and in
| fluence.
"About sixty per cent of the boys
brought to this Institute" said Mr..
Mellon, "are redeemed and often be-
come men of note-judges, lawyers,
doctors and professional men. The
others who do not come up to expec-
tations are usually mentally deficient
and hopeless"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mellon have had a
winter home in Palatka for many
years, and have been coming to the
city for their winters about thirty
five years, and Palatkans have
to regard them as citizens of this city,
in whom they feel all the pride that
attaches to natives of particular emil
nence.

SMITHs0N'S FORTUNE.
Ehe Gift Which Founded a Great Sci

Ehe Gift Which Founded Great Sci
entific institution.
The Smithsonian institution at Wash
ington was created by act Of congress
III 1876 to carry out the conditions of
the will of James Smithson. an English
chemist and mineraloglst who be-
queathed his fortune to the United
States of America to found at Wash
ington under the name Of the Smith
sonian institution an establishment for
1.-THE increase and diffusion of knowl-
edge among men,"
The will became operative at the
death of its maker. which occurred at
Genoa in 1929. and the income of the
estate went to Smithson's nephew,
Henry James Hungerford. until the
death of the latter on June 5, 1885.
The bequest of the property to the Unit
ed States thereupon became operative,
and in September, 1885, the state de-
partment received notification thereof.
On Dec. II President Jackson inform
ed congress of the bequest, and on July
l, 1886, the gilt was accepted ana the
president empowered to appoint an
agent to collect the money. Richard
Rush of Pennsylvania was intrusted
with this duty, and in November he
brought the necessarily formal suit in
the English court of chancery, where
the claim remained for two years.
Upon the final Interpretation of the
will Rush returned to America, bring
ing the fund with him in English gold.
$5OS,31S. 1t was nearly eight years be-
fore congress decided on a plan Of car
rying out the will Of the testator.
The total endowment Of the institu-
ton is now nearly S1,O00,000, and with
the support and cooperation Of the
government it has become one of the
most important scientific institutions
in the world.

Horse Sense.

In Tod Sloane" by himself, the once
famous jockey says that a horse ex-
ceeds even a dog in intelligence and
that if a thoroughbred were small
enough TO run about house like dog
and have. the same chances instead of
being so much alone surprising results
would follow. "Cussedness" in horses,
be thinks, may be caused by too much
inbreeding, bringing about an extraor-
binary temperament. The best Jockey,
says Sloane, is the hoy with a nervous
temperament. "He is quick and alert
to take In situation and becomes a
human ferret, finding ont things for
himself"

PERSIAN PAINTINGS.
Oriental Art That Embodies the Es-
sence of Romance.

sence of Romance.
No dramatic, no passionate motive
sver so grips and possesses a Persian
artist as to absorb his whole imagina-
ton. His sensuous love Of beauty can
not resist filing in the accessories of
the scene with just as much care and
intention in every detail as he de""tes
to the central figures.
In the great works of Chinese anf
japanese painters. as in masters like
Rembrandt. accessories are Subdued or
suppressed, the color is limited. and
the figures which create the motive Of
the design are so emphasized. SO domi-
nant in the eye that they seem to tran
scend the limits of the framing space,
they seem alive with all the latent en-
ergies of actual men and women.
No Persian painting imposes itself
remains within the frame. inlaid as in
lustrous mosaic. The Persian method
has, it is true, it's own compensation.
Just as in the early pictures Of Ros-
setti and Millais, everything is realized
with dreamlike vision. and this is al
ways a real achievement for the
painter. The freshness and glory thus
brought to the eye. as OF a world
washed clean, with every. object magic
ally distinct and burning with clear
color, make vivid impression of
strangeness. Strangeness, remoteness
from the routine Of every day--that is
the essence Of romance, and no art in
the world is more STEPPED in romance
than the painting of Persia.-Laurence
