OCEAN FLIGHTS

New York World: That airplanes
as well as airships can make the dis
tance of an ocean fight is well
known. Making the fight safely is
another matter; probably the lives of
the men who man the first American
plane to try 1t will be protected suf-
fiently by the arrangements of the
navy department made public yester'
day by Acting Secretary Roosevelt.
In May, when the naval experiment
may be launched, no long storms are
looked for. The swiftness of a mod
ern airplane makes 1t possible to
time trip that good weather may al
most be guaranteed for its brief du-
ration. The destroyers capable OF
dashing thirty-five miles an hour are
to be strung at 200-mile intervals on
the line of flight. and, barring acct.
dents to the radio apparatus, call
for help would always bring It to a
designated spot within four or five
hours. Little is known of the re-
ported attempt of Lieutenant Fontan
to fly from Senegambia to Pernam
muco, except that he SENS to have
been halted by engine trouble on the
way to his starting point. But sub
stantial rivalry to our naval plans is
promised by the shipping OF Sop
with plane to Newfoundland by the
British air service, especially to try
the shore course from ST. Johns to
Ireland. While the war lasted the
ocean fight appeared an extra haz.

RAILROAD INTO GLADES

Tallahassee, April 11.--Within the
next three months, according to
officials in the internal Revenue I'm
provement board in Tallahassee. the
Tatum interests in Miami which con-
cern is the last to purchase a large
tract of Everglades lands in con-
formity with the agreement resulting
in the transfer of the lands, will be-
gin the construction of 90-mile rail-
road connecting Miami with Lake
0keechobee at or near Moore Haven.
This last big tract of Everglades
lands sold by the state embraced
100000 acres, which brought the
state all the way from SIS to $50 an
acre, with the added provision that
the company would construct rail-
road from. Miami to Lake Okecchobee
According to information available
here the company is now making
preparation FOR the construction OF
this new line which will be contin-
uation of the proposed cross state
line from Tampa to Miami, 1t Is be-
!ieved For long time it has been
believed that the Seaboard intended
building to Moorehaven. In fact sur
veys have already been made It Is
said, and at least few miles of
track laid. The people of South
Florida have long complained against
the lack of railroad facilities per-
mitting them from travelling from one
side of the state to the other without
