CANNOT EQUAL
MARION COUNTY
In Silver and Blue Springs 1t has the
Largest Water Gushers in
the World

Every now and then someone rises
70 state that he has discovered
springs that are larger than Silver
Springs. There are q number OF
springs in Florida and elsewhere in
the United States claiming to be the
largest. The fact remains, however,
that the United States Geological
Survey records show that Silver
Springs are the largest in the country
and that Blue Springs are the second
largest.
Recently the Weekiwachee Springs,
in fernando county. were put forward
as being larger than Silver Springs.
According to the records OF the state
geologist. Mr.. Herman Gunter, the
Weekiwachee Springs were gauged
il 1917 by Mr.. Warren Hall of the
United States Geological Survey, in
company with DR.. Sellards and Mr..
Gunter. AT that time teh springs
were found to have a volume of flow
of 145 second feet. or 65,1O0 gallons
per minute.
Silver Springs was gauged by Mr..
Hall of the geological survey on Feb
ruary 9th. 1917, and the discharge
was GA second feet, or 500, 600 gall
Ions per minute. The figures for Sill
yer Springs were lower than those
formerly recorded AS Mr.. Gunter
pointed out. this is explained by
prolonged drouth. Although it is not
generally known, it is fact, says Mr..
Gunter, that our springs vary in vol
ume of flow due to seasonal variations
of rain fall.

BAD SPECIMEN OF A BEETLE
FOraging in Georgia and Threatening
to Invade Florida
<AssOciated PressI

Gainesville, Sept. 1O.-The state
plant board and Florida Agricultural
Experiment Station officials are great
ly concerned over the discovery of the
Mexican bean beetle at Thomasville,
Ga, not far from the Florida line.
This insect attacks beans and peas
and recently has also been found
feeding upon beggarweeds and velvet
beans. 1t is a native of Mexico and
Tor some years has been damaging
the bean crops in New Mexico and
Colorado. Last summer it was dis
covered in the Birmingham section of
Alabama and Investigations made
during the present summer show that
il has gained a firm foothold in north
ern Alabama and adjoining sections
of Georgia. Tennessee, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina, and is caus-
ing great loss.
The infestation at Thomasyille now
covers about 16 square miles. Be
cause so many members of-the legume
family are subject to attack, the diff
Guilty of control by sprays under field
conditions, and the further fact that
the insect is a strong fiier, the Flor
ida authorities do not see much pors-
peet of excluding the pest through
quarantine measures.

ST. AUGUSTINE WANTS
TO PRESERVE FORT MARION
(Assoclated Pressl

st. Augustine, Sept. 10-Federal
officials may as well try to change the
name of Arkansas as to take any ac-
ton tending to diminish the historical
value of Fort Marion here, according
TO persons interested in the recent
recommendation of Secretary of War
Weeks that the fort be abandoned as
a war department charge.
Vigorous protests were made
against Secretary Weeks suggestion
and he replied with the statement
that Congress could make suitable
provision for the maintenance of the
fort as historical site, but that as a
military proposition it was worthless.
Immediately Florida's delegation in
Congress was urged to have Congress
enact provision for the life of the
fort.
Now, the CITY commission, fearful
that the historic relic might fall into
the hands of private parties who
would use it for commercial purposes,
has requested that the fort be trans
ferred from federal control to the city
of st. Augustine. Adequate provis-
ion would be made by the city for its
maintenance, federal officials were as
sured The city commissioners have
written Gov Hardee and various
civic and historical bodies throughout
the state asking that their influence
be exercised to bring the fort within
the charge of St. Augustine.
The fort was built by the Spaniards
and came into the possession of the
United States with the acquisition of
Florida. The fundamentals of the
structure have been kept virtually in
tact to the present day and afford a
striking lesson in the strides made in
warfare during the past century. The
Spaniards considered the fort impreg-
nable It could probably be demol-
isked with a persistent six-pounder
of today.
OF the notable historical personages
around whom center many narratives
to winter tourists Geronimo and Os-
ceola are most prominent. The for
mer's name is linked with the history
of the fort because of his not having
sejourned there, according to the
caretakers who say that the impress
sion prevails generally that he was
confined to the fort, and almost in.
variably they have to explain to in.
quisitive visitors that he spent hi:
days Of Incarceration at Pensacola. A
controversy at present centers abouf
Osceola over the treatment he re
ceived incident to his capture by fed
eral troops. A highly cultured anC
refined Seminole chief. history records
him as having been taken under
flag of truce. No brief seems to b,
held out for Geronimo. He was tn,
bandit type, operating in the west.
Following OsceoIa's capture he wa
confined in a @celI" with two of hi
ehieftians. These two Seminoles, tn,
