The Phosphate Industry of Florf-
da During 1918

The amount of phosphate rock
shipped from Florida although
the production was very much
curtailed during the European
War, was greater in 1918 than
that of the preceding year. The
statistics which are collected by
the Florida Geological Survey in
cooperation with the United
States Geological Survey, indi-
cate that during 1918 the total
shipment of phosphate rock from
Florida was 2,067, ,230 long tons,
as compared with 2,022,599 long
tons in 1917, an increase over that
year of almost fifty thousand tons.
OF this amount, 1,996,847 tons
were land pebble phosphate, the
remainder being hard rock and
soft phosphate. Of the total ship
ments only 104,946 tons were con-
signed to foreign markets, show
ing a decrease over the amount
exported in 1917. The domestic
consignments, however, were
more than $4,000 tons in excess of

those for the preceding year.

those for the preceding year.
The increase in shipment was
principally from the hard rock
mines, the output from this area
being more than three tunes that
in 1917. The shipment from the
pebble field for 1918 remained
practically the same as for 1917.
The decided increase of shipments
from the hard rock over the peb-
BILE rock mines is quite the reverse
of the past few years, since it has
been from the pebble field that
increases have been most rapid.
During the period of the war,
production was greatly interfered
with, some companies closing for
portion of the time, others run
ming periodically, still others op-
Grating regularly but at reduced
capacity Of output. Regardless
of market conditions, several
mines operated during the year on
reduced scale, with the result
that at the close of the year there
were quantities of rock in storage
awaiting shipment.
The value of the phosphate ship
ped from Florida in 1918, accord
ing to returns from the producers,
is as follows: Land pebble,
1855, 1928; hard rock, including
soft phosphate, $524,17S, making
a total valuation of $6,090,1 106.
The value of shipments during
1917 was SIS, ,464, ,493. An increase
of more than 100000 is thus in
dicated in total value of ship
ments for the year~191S over that
of 1917. The total production OF
phosphate rock in Florida since
the beginning of the industry in
1883 to the close of 1918, accord
ing to statistics collected by the
Florida Geological Survey and
the United States Geological Sur
vey, is estimated to be 35,2f0,314
tons, with a total valuation of
$129, 9,O55,7s7.
The quantity Of rock mined
during the year is necessarily not
the same as the amount shipped,
for there are variable amounts on
hand and held in storage at the
close of each year. The total
quantity of phosphate mined in
Florida in 1918 was 1884, ,891
tons. The quantity mined in 1917
was 2,328,138 tons. This de-
creased output of 443,2 tons in
1918, as compared with 1917, re-
fleets the condition, due to our
entry into the war, such as diff

Camp Sebring.
This was the spirit Of the thir-
ty-fve campers returning from
the first DeSoto County Y. w. G.
A. Camp in Sebring on Lake
jackson The Camp was sue
cess due to a most congenial
crowd of girls from Punta Gorda,
Arcadia, Bowling Green, Avon
Park and Sebring; even to the
truck ride from Wauchula. Beds
Of straw and springs without mat
tresses were like velvet after that
ride.
The Camp opened Friday May
% with Miss Stennis as camp ex-
ecutive, assisted by Miss Sleight
Of New York, formerly Of France,
director Of recreation and Miss
Hughes director of club councils.
Miss Brown of Richmond visited
the camp for three days assisting
in club councils and devotions.
The days program was begun
with dip in the lake at Z 80, fol
lowed by breakfast at $50; Camp
inspection 80; recreation led by
Miss Sleight until 1890 and club
councils until IL 80. From IL 80
the girls read, slept until the one
O'Clock whistle for cafateria
lunch. At four o'clock special
features in recreation begun and
continued until supper at six
thirty. The evenings were filled
with songs, games and stunts.
Sunday morning all the camp
ers attended Sunday school on the
straw stack and in the evening
took part in the Victory celebra-
ton in the Sebring Methodist
church. Monday evening the
mayor, marshal and representa-
tive group of men and women of
Sebring formally presented the
the key of their hospitable town
to the camps. Punch was served
in the camp and a program of
stunts and songs followed.
Thursday afternoon there was a
contest in all kinds of water
sports such as swimming, rowing,
crab races, running in the water,
etc. Thursday evening every one
enjoyed the baby party at the
camp.
Friday the great tennis game,
Camp Sebring VS.. Sebring girls.
Miss Nell Linquish Of Punta Cor
da and Miss Olive Bond of Area
dia gained the victory for Camp
Sebring. Later Miss Linquish
played Miss Bond, Miss Linquish
winning.
Saturday evening the dinner
party for Sebring guests marked
the climax of social events. Din
ner was served on the lawn camp
style. The Sebring people invit-
ed the Y. w. G. A. to make Sc
bring their permanent camping
place. The campers accepted unan-
imously. After the dinner par
ty the guests were entertained by
mock wedding in which Miss
Melinda Jane" ordinarily known
as Ruby Whidden, was welded to
"Mr. Theodore Mulligatawney"
ordinarily known as Ted Golf.
Sunday was the closing day.
Sunday school in the morning and
a delightful ride in Mr.. Sebring's
motor boat in the afternoon.
Many guests from the several
towns Of the county all contribut-

New Inductances.C Coil.
Robert c. Devinney. jr.. member
Of the RadiQ Engineering Society and
an enthusiastic experIruenter. has de-
vised an ingenious method of con-
struction moltilayer inductances. some
what similar to the new De For
asst honeycomb type. which derives. its
of the winding. He says the idea WAS
suggested to-. him recently by the
peculiar manner in which ball of
twine WAS wound, THIS really could
not properly be called a bah. but is
the kind rf twine commonly used in
meat markets and is wound on q
cardboard cylinder in such Nay that
every turn. crosses. He has seen
many .of these be fore. but says he
never associated them with radio
work. and as the honeycomb coil is
very la.e development this fact is
only natural.
Believing that an inductance could
be construct ed in this manner which
would have an unusually low resist
ance to high frequency. currents and
very low factor of distributed ca
pacity. he obtained such Il ball OF
tw-ine which had been used down to
the lass couple of layers and proceed :
ed to test the correctness OF his
theory. By securins the end OF the
twine to some s6 l.. K. s s Tx covered
magnet wire. leaving a head for con-
nection. and following closely the
winding of the twtae. he wound sev-
eral layers in this manner bringing
taps from each layer, and then con- :
pleted the coil by tapiRS il securely
with friction tape. The result was a
very appearing coil. which. upon
