two historic rivers; on the north and

Killarney of Como, with a spring

That we are not overstepping the

1t will be seen that he goes into &C.
stacies over the beauties of this
wonderful asset to Ocala.
This historian says:
"The water is so pellucid that the
smallest object is distinctly visible
on the bottom, which is in one place
80 feet from the surface. 1t seems
as though one should be able to walk
out upon it without getting wet. 1t
is almost az surprise to observe boats
sailing on it's surface, for it seems
so light and airy that one expects a
boat to sink.
"On clear, calm day, after the
sun has attained sufficient altitude,
the view from one of the glass-bot-
tom boats is beautiful and entranc-
ing, almost beyond description. The
impression left upon the mind of the
visitor is wonderful, for every fea-
ture on the bottom of this gigantic
basin is clear and distinct as if the
water had been removed and atmos-
phere substituted in it's place. 1t is
like looking down from some lofty

But this magnificent body of wa

rolling lands cannot fail to please the
eye of those who have fondness for
the painless woods-who admire the
primeval forests.
Then, too, we are midway between
the ocean and gulf. A ride of less
than two hours will bring one to the
fishing grounds of the latter which
are said to be the finest in the world.
The rivers, lakes and springs also
abound in fish and the lovers of this
sport will here find a harvest.
The woods in the near vicinity are
the quail hunters paradise.
Rabbits, squirrels and other small
game are plentiful, and turkey and
deer give rare diversion.
The fact that the margin of our
lakes and rivers are fringed with wild
orange trees and many are found on
our hammock lands is compelling
proof that they are indigenous to our
soil and here they grow to perfec-
ton. The finest favored and most
succulent are found here and they
bring the top prices in the market.
Our water courses, medicinal
springs, bird life, beauty of land

our possessions.

Xmas Seal Sale Nets
 S55,00O in State

Hartford, Dec. 22.-Returns from the Christmas Seal Sale in Connecti- cut already received at the office of the State Tuberculosis Commission in the State Capitol indicated that about s55, ,00O was secured during the first fortnight. Although this is S3OOOO less than the sum hoped for by the Commission, it Is believed that the vigorous present final weeks campaign will result in at least equal ling the $S0,O47 total which was raised last year. The best showing E reported by any town in the state IS that of Hamden which. during the first two weeks of the campaign, raised the entire amount secured last year. No other town has reported yet equaI1ing last years total. Hart ford, which has raised more than sS,0OO, led the state, and New Haven was second with S7,o0. Official na- tional reports show hat Connecticut was second in states of the Union last year, with per capita of 5.6, New York, with a record of seals sold per capita. alone exceeding it.

FIRE CHIEF CALLSATTENTI0NT TO
 DANGER OF XMAS TREE IN HOME

With the holidays almost here, fire officials in most cities are commen- cling to grow apprehensive. From past experience they know how easily Christmas in the American home can De turned from 9. time of rejoicing :SLo one of sorrow; for there are Tna0T fire hazards peculiar to the sea son. We, of the fire department, share this anxiety. and therefore issue to- day a brief note of advice to the peo- pie of this city.
 About this time of year, said Chief Johnson, the children and good many grown-ups too, only they won't admit it-are impatiently counting the days until Christmas Above all other days, yet in many households it is likely to become a time of tragedy because of death or injury from fire; if care is not ex- ercised. That is q grim thought to associate with the Yuletide. We know and we hope sincerely that people will understand our position. We are speaking because it is our plain duty to do so, especially since our own ex perlence is backed up by some sta tistics received yesterday from the National Board of Fire Underwriters, from which we learn that average of one in every ten Christmas fires last year resulted In fatality. Mod crate carefulness will not detract one bit from the fullest enjoyment of the day.
 inc tree IS an old ana beautiful symbol aild one that should be preserved. But it becomes none the loss symbolic when it is made safe: and it cannot even approach to safety so long it is decked with lighted candles. If the tree must be illuminated, colored electric lights are more ornamental and usually far safer. Of course, a bright light fo- cused on the tree. in darkened room is a safe method and gives, perhaps, the most pleasing effect.
 Tt is not only candles on the tree that are dangerous. Placing them in windows, where there are inf1a mna-bIe curtains and decorations, is extremely dangerous. All open flame lights are dangerous. We are laying emphasis on the candle, though. because, of late. 1t seems to have come back into fashion and into our fire records.
 'Of the fact that fire insurance pro- lection may be voided by the intro duction of hazards not contemplated under the policy, we have made no

A few addi- tiona1 precautions which we urge the public to observe in homes, stores and elsewhere will mean not one fire alarm Christmas day. We went a Christmas fire Can we do so this year? We can with your help and let's have old Santa in the home and not the red fire trucks or the am tivIty.
 Make sure that Christmas trees are securely set up so that they will not topple over, and keep them away from heating and lighting fixtures. Use metal tinsel flake asbestos and powdered mica for snow effects in- stead of paper clipping and cotton. Smokers should be extremely careful with matches and smoking material while near trees and decorations. All decorations should be removed inn mediately after Christmas As they dry out very quickly and are then dangerous.
 Avoid tops requiring alcohol or kerosene for their operation, and also fimsy motion-picture machines using lnfammable films. Low-priced cleo trical playthings, too. should be ta- booed, since they often are defectiye- ly wired and frequently have fnse- cure, and dangerous connections; they have caused serious burns and QreS-

 Yours sincere.
 James A. Dooley."
 Dooley's contribution Is sufficient to provide for one orphan for nearly two weeks. according to figures on the cost of maintenance prepared at Near East Relief Headquarters in Constan- tinople. These figures show that five dollars will provide for one child for a month. and that s6O will see the orphan through the coming year.
 Word received yesterday from H. c. JaQuith Of Darien. this state, now overseas managing director of the Near East Relief, Was to the effect that S5,00o refugees from Black Sea ports of Asia Minor, the advance guard of the vast exodus of Christians who are in full flight from Turkish Ma tionalist territory, have arrived in ConstantinoPle.
 While awaiting transportation to Greece, 25,000 are being quartered in churches. schools. tents and other available shelter in Constantinople. the others remaining on the ships in the Bosphorus.
 The Near East Relief is keeping 51 bakeries in constant operation to sup ply them with bread, Jaquith's mes sage reported.
 JaQuith also informed relief officials at Asia Minor ports to remove the Turks to permit Greek vessels to touch here that owing to the refusal of refugees. the work is being carried on by allies vessels, which bring the refugees to Constantinople. where they are transferred to the Greek ships for transportation to Greece"
