W0NDR0US. LAND OF FLORIDA
Famous Tarpon Springs Not Among
the Least Of Things That Have
Made It Widely Known.

The western coastal country Of
Florida is one of the most amazing
natural color effects In the world.
A land Of pine and oak forests and
cypress and palmetto swamp, intricate
ly jigsawed and inlaid with lakes and
rivers and bays, it is poem in green
and blue, marvelously matched and
blended. Dark green are the pine for
ests, and darker yet the live and wa
ter oaks; deep blue are the little
lakes and the slow-moving streams
that creep under arching tangles of
forest far into the wilderness where
the alligators below and the rare
white ibises nest.
A brighter note-a glinting, fiery
blue-is struck by the waters Of the
gulf, placid in the bright Florida sun
light, rolling in easy swells to break
upon d narrow, snowy beach washed
Immaculate by their endless having.
Within q few miles of salt water,
at q point not far from Tampa bay,
there is an immense spring, which has
formed a pool perhaps a hundred
yards wide, and Of depth unknown
soundings have never found its bot
tom. At times the waters of this pool
lie clear as the summer air, gradually
deeping into the green shadows of it's
mysterious tArpon may then be seen,
and they give the spring its name.
The vicinity of this strange spring
has always fascinated men. The
aborigines have left their shell mounds
all about It; and In modern times a
neat little town, made up largely of
winter residences, had grown up. Its
banks have been parked and cemented,
and it has been made harbor for ex-
pensive pleasure craft. All about it
are fashionable cottages and bunga-
lows, children play upon its beaches
lovers peer into its wonderful depths
and see nothing but themselves. Far
below, in Its darkest crannies, the
great silver tarpon still live and hunt
as they have for countless centuries.

WHEN THEY PLAYED CROQUET
cinated the Young People OF His
Generation.

In this age 1 fear everybody has
fashioned game of croquet. remem-
Der the time back home when it was
the thing, says a writer in the Jack
sonville (Fla.) Times Union.
Why, we used to gather over at
Cheatham'S hotel on q fine afternoon
round at the shady side, and we viii
lage lads and lassies were in our
glory.
Knock went the mallet against the
ball, and we waited breathless for the
ball to roll through the wicket.
All, such moments the excitement
was intense. Every eye was fixed upon
the result of the stroke and we thought
the whole world was interested.
By crickety, we were some pumpkins,
tell you. at the old game. We didn't
know anything about your modern
baseball games, nor football games,
nor polo, nor hockey, nor golf, nor
motor-bOat racing, nor motor-car rae
ing, nor horse racing.
NO, we didn't care anything ABOUT
knowing, bet you. AS long as Susie
Green was my partner and we beat
the other side, we didn't care whether
school kept or not.
All we knew was that the game was
exciting to us, and the birds sang for
sheer joy in the magnolias and the
roses nodded from the old front porch.
The long, long days of youth were
ours and no business cares infested our
world o. dreams.
The old croQuet game!
1t would seem pretty tame to you
Of this fast age and you would chuckle
and make fun of our enthusiasm, but
we were happy, for we didn't know
any better.

JUST FORM OF WANDERLUST
ing Explained by Scientist Who
Has Studied the Subject.

Too long has mere man scorned the
female bargain hunter, says the New
York Press. Too long has he smiled
indulgently or gently rallied the wom-
an who INDUCES in the wild scramble
or the foOt-wearying pilgrimage after
a "marked-down-from" to some odd
figured price just under the currency
unit.
These same men have been proud
Of what they termed their wander
lust" Proud have they been to re-
count to admiring youngsters how they
ran away to sea, or took to braking
on the railroad, or chased away to
some Pan-Americap opportunity for
getting rich quick.
Along comes Prof. Max Baff, bluff
and to the point as to his name, and
pronounces that bargain hunting is
ing. Both. he says, are due to high
blood pressure Of youth (not the sort
of hardening arteries), and to each is
due about the same modicum of pride
If you want to get chesty over your
blood pressure at all.
The good doctor found this out by
using a sphygmometer, and to the
"sphy," as the laboratory men may
call it for short, bargain hunting and
shipping as a stoker, suffrage stump
ing and adventuring for hidden treas
ure all look just the same.
Of course, there may be something
about human beings you can't size up
by using instruments that end In ''me-
ter" and sometimes the laboratory de-
vices make stranger bedfellows than
politics ever achieved Still, Doctor
Bats conclusions sound more human
than instrumental, and it is time for
man to come off his call-of-the-wild
perch and allow women their due for
the wild thrills, the joyous adventur-
ing, the big gamble and the delicious
zest of hunting down bargains in their
natural lairs.

Mimi, the chimpanzee recently re-
ceived at the geological gardens, is
having a new home built, which it will
be enabled to occupy with pomp and
dignity In the near future, according
to the Philadelphia North American.
Mimi is trick chimpanzee supposed
to have been gifted with almost human
intelligence. 1t was brought from
Borneo nine years ago and for seven
years was the property of DIR. William
Furness, who tried to develOpe it in
the faculty of talking. He gave up
trying and not long ago presented
Mimi to the zoo.
As q trick performer Mimi has few

Mimi can thread a needle, clap for

Costly Modern Guns.

Sir Robert Hadfield, the noted Eng
ish maker Of projectiles, Is authority
for the statement that the useful life
of modern high-velocity gun is about
three seconds. Which is to say that
the time taken by the shell in travel
ing through the gun, from powder
chamber to muzzle, multiplied by the
total number of rounds that can be
fired before the rifling is so worn as
to impair the accuracy, give a total
useful life of only three seconds. Rath-
er short life for, let us say, a IL
inch gun costing from $4,000 to $60,4
000.-Scientific American.

China Is PLANTING Trees.

The American commercial attache at
Peking reports that the gospel Of tree
planting is spreading in China, the
New York Tribune states. And Arbor
day, the truly great invention of the
late j. Sterling Morton of Nebraska,
once secretary of agriculture, has been
added to the calendar of public fes-
rivals. With characteristic frugality,
however, the Chinese combine the OBJ
servance with their ancient one,
"Ch'ing Ming" when they visit the
graves of their ancestOrs-cOrrespO
ing a way to our Memorial day.
No country is more in need of trees
than China. 1t has been styled the
"forestless nation In one of ex-
President Roosevelt's conservation
messages Photographic views were
printed to show the desolation Of a
great part. of the Chinese domain,
where in ancient times there had been
trees and streams.
No trees, no water-that theory of
forestry is rather well substantiated.
And without water there can be no
life. China is commonly spoken of
as a densely populated country. But,
in fact, the density is in small part
Of the vast area, more than ninety
per cent Of the population occupying
one-third of the land.
To restore the forests to any con-
siderable part of China would. call for
persistent planting and cultivation
over a long period. But hundred or
even thousand years would not seem
long to the Chinese.
