Condition of Road
From Tallahassee to a point ID
miles south of Perry-a splendid,
modern 3-lane highway. From
that point to Cross City, there are
several Strengthening and rebuild
ing projects but the major need
is about IL miles of very expen-
sive new highway which, through
swampy country. win cost, ac-
cording to estimates, $500, 900.
Cross City is rebuilding the
highway through its corporate
limits and there is a near perfect
road from Cross City to Chief
land.
There is a Federal Air Project
from Chiefland to Lebanon Sta
ton and from Chiefland to Otter
Creek the highway is graded, q
bridges being under construction.
Federal funds are scheduled to
care for the road top on this
stretch.

The road from Englis to Crystal

er, the road through Homasassa

Weight of Ship Governs
Depth Vessel Will Sink

Pressure in itself does not enter
into the problem Of how far an ocean
liner would sink, because the pres
sure Of a fluid is exerted equally
from all directions. Increased
density, according to an authority
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, which
Is due chiefly to the greater pres
sure, is not an important factor in
relation to this question. because
water, like other fluids, is nearly
incompressible. and the water at
the bottom Of the ocean in the deep
est places weighs only about S per
cent more than an equal volume Of
water at the surface.
A body weighing more than its
equal volume Of water at any depth
will sink and continue to sink until
it reaches the bottom; one weighing
less will float on the surface, and
one weighing the same will stay
wherever placed. In other words,
an object will sink in water If its
average density, including en-
trapped air, is greater than the
density of the water in which it is
immersed.
Sea water weighs about "a pounds
a cubic foot at the surface and
about SO pounds a cubic foot in the
deepest known places. Any object
weighing more than SO pounds a
cubic foot will sink to the bottom in
such water. All ships, if filed with
water, will weigh more than SO
pounds cubic foot and therefore,
would sink to the bottom Of the sea
Immediately. 1t is possible that a
ship of the old wooden type, carry
ing a cargo of low density bulk,
might have the same weight as its
equal volume of water, and after
filling with water would remain
suspended in the sea.

Eternal Lamp to Mans Memory

In many parts of England, Wales
and Scotland there are small gifts

through money left by some char
table gentleman. In many cases
the idea was to prevent the gen.
tleman'S name from being forgot
ten. In Venice, however, there is a
unique monument, says London An.
SwerS Magazine. In 1907 Pietro Tas.
cal, a well-known Venetian, who
was baker by trade, was accused
Of killing a very close friend. He
was convicted and executed. Soon
after the execution certain facts
came to light which clearly indi-
Gated that the dead man had in

were many riots and, to soothe the
public, the authorities ordered an
Eternal Lamp in his memory, to
be placed in front Of a Madonna.

Henry Clay Was Known as
the "Great Pacihcator''

With Webster and Calhoun, Henry
Clay formed the great triumvirate
Of what has been called the golden
age Of American oratory. His gift
for public speaking and debate,
combined with his personal magnet
ism. helped to make him more pop
ular with the people as a whole
than any Of his contemporaries dur
ing his lifetime.
Though born in Virginia, on April
II, 1777, Clay moved to Kentucky
when he was twenty-one, and his
point Of view during his political
career was that Of the West. An
active supporter Of protection Of
home manufactures, writes Leslie
Hartley in the Washington Star, his
name Is inseparably linked with
what he made known as the amer
lean system"
Clay entered public life early, was
secretary Of state under Adams and
served for many years In congress.
His long service as speaker of the
house is conspicuous part In his
career; he was the first to develop
the possibilities Of that position.
On the question Of slavery Clay
took the middle ground. pleasing
neither side. While he regarded
slavery as grievously wrong in prin-
ciple, he disliked and distrusted the
abolitionists and their propaganda.
His position between the two ex-
tremes, however, enabled him to
play part as mediator and he be-
came known as the great pacih-
Gator"
Though he sought the presidency
Of his country many times, Clay Is
remembered not so much for his
long and unsuccessful struggle as
for his important services in con-
gress. When he died In 1852 his
body lay In state In the rotunda Of
the Capitol building.

Natures Piano TinkleS
in Deep Jamaica Caves

A piano" tinkles deep in the
Dry Harbor caves on the north
shore Of Jamaica, writes a Kings.
ton, Jamaica, B. W. l., correspond.
ent in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
This piano" is a series of stalac.
tites which, when struck, give Out
notes resembling those of tubular
bells.
The caves are at Hopewell, be.
tween Runaway bay and Dry Har.
Dor. They resemble closely the Ro.
man catacombs or an early Gothic
crypt and are also famous for their
picturesque mineral incruStations.
Shimmering shafts Of light from

Of the ficuS hang down and crawl

Dry Harbor is IS miles west of
st. AIMS bay. 1t was here on May
4, 1894, that Columbus landed and
took formal possession for Spain.
The town received its name because
no fresh waters or wells were there
at the time.
Runaway bay is so called because
it was here that the last of the Span
iards left the island after surren-
dering to the conquering English.

Metal Collar Once Used
to Protect Hunting Dog

Fancy dog collars, often seen on
the most cherished pets, have a
most interesting history. according
to writer in the american Kennel
Club Gazette. Collars may be traced
back to the Fifteenth century and
the days when a dogs life depended
upon a metal collar.
The greatest collection of such
collars may be seen in the Swiss
National museum at Zurich, Swift
erland; but the oldest collar known
to exist is preserved at Basel. The
Basel collar is of the moderately
spiked type used on the watchdogs
chained in the courtyards Of the old
castles Of the Fifteenth and Six
teenth centuries. It is much less
awesome and elaborate than many
designed for hunting wolves and
bears and for the herder's dogs
which had to meet all kinds of foes
in their role of protector for the
cattle.
In the days before the modern
rifle, big dogs played a more impor-
tant part in hunting. They were
expected to attack the wild boar,
bears, wolves and other animals,
not merely chasing them into the
open. Dogs able to take care Of
themselves all have one vulnerable
spot-the throat. And so the collars
were developed as a protection in
close combat with their enemies.
Each type of hunting had its partic-
ular type Of collar. The style used
for bear was a vicious affair with
heavy spikes, often several inches
long extending from a metal band.
Wolf hunting collars were of broad
brass bands on which was engraved
the name and title of the aristocrat
owning the dog and often hunting
scenes decorated the collars.

John G. Calhoun Served
u. S. in Many Capacities

John c. Calhoun, South Carolina s
distinguished statesman and orator,
who was born March 10, 1882,
served his country in many capaci-
ties, twice as Vice President Of the
United States. He was secretary
Of war under Monroe and in 1874
was appointed secretary Of state un-
der Tyler. In l845 he was elected
senator from South Carolina and be-
came the foremost champion of the
South.
A man with the courage of his con-
victions, Calhoun believed in the
most extreme form Of states rights
and developed the theory Of the nulli-
fcation ordinance Of 1882. He de-
Tended slavery and furnished argu-
ments which were to greatly inf1u-
ence the political course Of the South
in regard to slavery.
While Calhoun was Vice President
under President Jackson, writes
Leslie Hartley in the Washington
Star, it was the only time in Ameri.
can history that two Southerners
held these two high offices during
the same term. Their political
views differed widely, however, and
Calhoun resigned to enter the Unit.
ed States senate. This was also the
only time in American history q
Vice President voluntarily left Of
fee.
Calhoun was held in great esteem
by his native state, which struck
of a medal proclaiming Calhoun
the first President Of the Confed-
eracy." He died in 1850 without
achieving his ambition to become
President of the United States.

Aaron Burr a Busy Man
in War and in Politics

Aaron Burr, born in Newark, N.
j.. February 6, 1855, was educated
at the college of New Jersey Cater
called Princeton university and
was prominent in the war Of the
Revolution. In 1778 he resigned his
commission as colonel, partly on
account Of i'll health and partly
through disappointment at not being
promoted more rapidly. In 1882
he was admitted to the bar in AL
bany.
His progress in politics was rapid.
In 1874 he was elected to the state
legislature; in 1889 became attor-
ney-general of the state, and was
United States senator from 1871 I'M
til 1897. His efficiency in the pres
idential canvass Of 1900 caused the
friends of jefferson to bring him
forward for the vice presidency. An
equal number of votes having been
thrown for Jefferson and Burr, the
election went into the house Of rep
resentatives. On the thirty-sixth bal
lot Jefferson was chosen President
and, in accordance with the constitu-
tional provision, Burr became Vice
President, serving from 1901 to
1905.
His unethical conduct in trying to
defeat the candidate Of his party
caused him to lose his political in
fiuence, observes a writer in the
Philadelphia Inquirer. He ran for
governor of New York and was de-
feated. The bitterness Of that con-
test led to a duel, in 1904, between
Burr and Alexander Hamilton, in
which the latter was killed. Burr
was later tried for treason on the
charge Of attempting to establish
an empire which should embrace
some Of the southwestern states Of
the Union. He died September IA,
1885.

Children Born at Sea

When a child is born on a steam
er in the middle of the ocean it takes
the nationality of its parents. The
flag of the vessel does not make
any difference. If the ship were
in territorial waters, and not on the
high seas, that might make a diff
ference. If a child were born to
immigrant parents on ship bound
for New York just after it had en-
tered the three-mile limit, it would
probably take a ruling of the i'm
migration service to settle the
question of nationality.

Washington, June 24.-Recog-
nizing the increased part which
Negro youths are playing in pub
lie affairs and politics, the Young
Republican National Federation at
its biennial national convention
earlier this month elected Charles
NJ. Stokes, 80 years old, of Leav-
enworth, Kansas, as a vice-chair-
man of this nationwide organiza-
ton.
Stokes election followed amend
ment of the Federation's constitu-
ton providing that hereafter one
of the seven vice-chairmen must
be a member of the colored race.
Thus the young Negro Kansas
lawyer becomes the first of his
race to hold such a high post in
the Federation. The Federation,
the official national organization
of Young Republicans, held its
biennial convention in Kansas
City, Missouri, on June 10 and II.
