A FLORIDA MYSTERY.
Thousands Visit Ghostly Place Near
Observation-Disclosures to Re
main i'm One Room.

Thousands of people have throng-
ed Neptune beach, eighteen miles
from Jacksonville, Fla, writes a
correspondent, during the past few
weeks, visiting the one-room shack,
which has recently acquired the rep
utation of being the rendezvous OF
cha 'nts."
The house, situated directly on
the beach at Neptune, which is real
" a continuation of Pablo and At
tantic beach, was damaged in a re-
cent storm, the front pillars giving
way and leaving the small structure
tilting toward one corner at an angle
of about 25 degrees.
Following the storms, the owner,
anxious to save the little furniture
still in the house, sent negro to re-
move it. The negro shaken with
fright, returned to the owner, re-
porting the presence of "ha'nts.' He
declared that the furniture would
not bulge, and that he became Vio-
lently i'll and was thrown to the
floor when he entered the shack.
Needless to say, furniture movers OF
the colored persuasion could not be
induced to tackle the job, though
visitors have been much attracted.
Investigations we're made, and
one person after another left the
structure, confirming the report that
the place was haunted, and that 1t
was impossible to remain in the
room for any length of time.
After few days it became nolsed
about that electrical shocks were felt
by some and that in certain cases
people had been thrown to the floor.
Opinions differed regarding the elec-
trical element, with the result that
many were frightened who would
have braved any supernatural report.
So far the supernatural feature
has been confined to the sensations
experienced and "the life Of the par
ty'' has not at any time been visible
to the naked eye.
The ghost. contrary to the usual
run of spirits, pulls off his hair-rais-
ing stunts in the daytime. Visitors
at night claim that the creepy sensa-
tions experienced are much more
acute in daylight when the surround
ings are more easily distinguished
The Sunday following the first
visitations, some enterprising per-
sons seeing the possibilities, obtain
ed permission from the owner to op-
crate the shack as commercial
proposition, but on Monday authori-
ties placed them under arrest on the

charge of doing business without a
license. They reaped harvest, how
ever, during the short time they
were in business. The house had
been roped off so that the "ha'nt'
might not be visible, except to those
paying the entrance fee. The civil
authorities, evidently proud OF their
own particular ghost, felt that it, was
public property, and that any en-
counters with side ghost should not
be confined to the idle rich, but should
be free for all.
While Jacksonville has had its full
quota Of so-called haunted houses in
years past; the Neptune shack has
greatest claim to fame, and from In
dications the Neptune ghost bids fair
to outlast all others.
A party of newspaper men visited
the house at 2:30 O'Clock one morn
ing recently, and announced that
while they experienced something
of a sensation of NAL de mer, they
saw no evidence of ghosts.
They explained that the illusions
were the result of a combination OF
the principles of mechanics, physics
and optics. This, however, failed to
make any great impression on be-
levers in "ha'nts."
The photographer who made
picture Of the house confessed that
he had queer feelings and that the
house seemed to be doing new YER
sion of the tango, though his lens
caught is quietly enough, although
at a 'rakish angle.
he house is tipped over in such
a way as to give tower-of-pisa ef-
feet, and people walking or standing
on the floor inside, watching people
outside, gain an impression that is
indeed unsual. The rolling waves
of the Atlantic, the tipsy careenlng
house, the distorted view of passers
on the beach, tend to give those in
side topsy-turvy feeling and this
may in a measure explain the odd
sensations experienced, which some
skeptic dub as nothing more nor
less than unromantic and matter-of-
fact seasickness.
They explain the inability to re-
main in the room, as the natural crav-
ing for "air" that one has in the pre-
liminary stages of NAL de mer. Be
that as is may, no one seems able
to remain in the house for more than
a few minutes, and very few of them
evidence the slightest desire to re-
turn.
The little house, standing like
drunken figure in the sunlight, has
for all the scientific theories and ex-
plantations, achieved and appearance
and atmosphere sinister and fore
boding. 1t seems to hold a bit of a
sardonic smile up it's sleeve, it you

BYRNEs TAKES UP QUESTION
OF CALCIUM ARSENATE SUPPLY

Washington, Dec. 6.-Represen-
tative Byrnes yesterday took up
with the Department of Agricul-
ture the question Of the price and
availability Of calcium arsenate to be
used in checking the boil weevil. Mr..
Byrnes was very much impressed by
an editorial appearing recently in The
News and Courier quoting statistics
on the subject prepared by Mr.. NJ. c..
Michel.
Mr.. Byrnes is today in receipt
of a letter from DR.. Coad, of the
bureau of entomology, which reads
substantially as follows:
II have read with much interest
the editorial in the November 29
issue of The News and Courier. The
statistics given on arsenic and cal
cium arsenate are, on the whole,
quite good and undoubtedly the con-
clusion reached is entirely in line
with conditions as they exist today.
There is no doubt that there is a de-
finite shortage Of raw arsenic for
ordinary uses, without considering
the need for calcium arsenate, and
there seems no chance for the produc-
tion of as much calcium arsenate as
was used in the South last year, Raw
arsenic has now reached a price Of Is
cents on the New York market and,
Of course, calcium arSenate cannot be
made from such high priced arsenic
and sold for cotton dusting. Fortu-
nately such arsenic as was available
was very largely purchased at lower
prices by the manufacturers of cal
cium arsenate and while there will
not be sufficient calcium arsenate to
meet the demand, this limited
amount will be available at fairly
reasonable price.
"You might be interested to know
that a meeting has been called in
New York for December 13 to get
together the producers of arsenic
and the manufacturers Of calcium
arsenate for the purpose of thresh-
ing out this question. I am sure that
the figures given out at this meeting
will be the most definite available on
the subject"
