It is perhaps not generally known that the “blue stuff” in which dix- rmonds are found in South Africa is the disintegrated and disorganizea rass of a vast meteor that once fel! from the sky. A decomposed metecr ot immense side is reported to have Leen found in Arizona. It contains iron, nickle, platinum and diamonde. It is supposed to have been, before it decomposed, 500 feet in diameter and to have weighed more than a million tons. They may be frag- ments of comets and finding them- selves under the influence of the at- traction of the gravitation of our earth they fell upon it. The theory is that their speed may be as high as 40 or 50 miles a second. 1£ it be a stony meteor it may be crushed into dust by the air pressure in front of it. Even if of iron it may be torn into fragments as if an explo- sion had occurred in front. If, how- ever, it is a rounded piece of iron like this lump. then it would take 2 tremendous pressure of the air to crush it, and there is no doubt what- ever that most iron meteors of round- ed form would escape fracture unless they were moving at the very high est rate of speeds. At such speeds the air pressure de- veloped in front of them may blow them to pieces, but if they are mov- ing, say one third as fast, they may, and probably will, survive unless they succumb to another action, which takes place with iron—name- Iy, combustion. A NEEDED REFORM. Investigation into the cost of pres- idential campaigns is bringing out the fact that they expensive amusements, It is estimated that each of the two parties in cach of the last three campéagns paid out in There much presidential expenses one million dollars, i“ no method of finding how others besides the execeutive commit- toes handled, but the figures are suf- ficiently startling to gzive the coun- try serious paise, It is estimated that a cenvention cannot now be held to nominate 2 president without its costing those who participate over a million dol- llight hotels reported that dele- gates and their friends spent with them at the Chicago convenion over a million and a quarter of dollars, and no account was made of railroad livrs, nellas? Up in Orlando they are trying to start another daily newspaper though nobody scems to know just why. They have succeeded, it is said, in raising $7,000 of the neces. sary capital. Now, if they can get about $77,000 more to keep it going after it is started, there may be some chance of its lasting a year or two. Mr, Smart, a Virginia gentleman, is to be maried to Miss Thelma Ka- hilaonapacpiilani Parker. The lady will probably require her husband to pronounce her middle name, trippins- Iy on the tongue, when he has beea “detained at the office until late.” To stand this test he will need to be sober as well as Smart, We may pretend to hate work, bui work is the greatest sport there is tares and other incidentals. With the imminence of the presi- dential primary and the emasculation of the convention, there will be no diminution in the expenses of a presidential primary and election, for it is a well known fact that primaries are exceedingly expensive ways to nominate candidates It would appear that a general re- form in election expenses is impera- tively needed, FACTS AND FIGUR.ES FROM FLORIDA have ind \ltamonte Springs. - Rains been of benefit in this section the citrus frait erop looks promising Chuluota. - Truckers are busy trv- ing to keep the geass out of their po tato fields and cultivating their LTFOVes, Conway R.

FREE_ AMERICA mus} | Washington, July 24— (Special) The note of dissent, which the Pritish government handed Secretary of State Knox last week and wlm.u in, turn has been transmitted to the ! Senate by the State department, op- posing the free toll feature of the Panama canal bill now under dis- cussion in the upper branch of the rational Legislature, may have some bearing on the legislation to be en acted affecting the operation government of the canal, but just now the Senate is going ahead dis- cussing the House bill as amended by the Senate committee on interoceani canals as if the request for the deo- lay had never been sent. Should the Panama canal bill as ii passes the Senate retain the Housv provision for free tolls for coastwise vessels, as now seems certain, the bil! must still go to conference, as there are a number of extremely important amendments in the Senate bill which if they pass in the form re- ported to the Senate will necessarily invite controversy between the con- ferees. The British and contention that th: provision which practically gives iree passage to certain American ships is in contravention of the Hay- Pauncefote treaty is not without sup- port in both Houses of (ongress but a2 careful canvass of the Senate shows that a majority of that body is o1 the side of free tolls, and it is be- lieved that feature of the House bil! will be retained even if there should Le a considerable change in the sec- tion of the bill relating to the use o: the canal by railroad-owned steam- ships. The debate on the Panama canu! Lill will probably last for a fort- right, the bill having to be laid aside | when supply bills are ready for con- sideration, It is expected the di cussion will take a wide ranze Illl‘l; will call out al Ithe constitution sharps and experts.

Yer this is the case of Vincent Astor, made head of the great Astor fortune in American through the death of his father, Col. John Jacob Astor, in th: Titanic disaster, and he is going to Europe to think what he shall do about it. In fact he sailed for the other side recntly and when he re- turns he is going to get a house for himself here in New York city. A house that he can call his own. Ot course he has a palace in Newpor*, as well as a beautiful estate at Rhine bheck on the Fifth Avenne mansion, this city, was Ieft 1o his nineteen-year-old step viother, Vincent has no place to call So that he might enjoy the frec- dom his own residence gives him and [is own in this city hecanise he wishes to be in a position mother whenever visits the United States, as well Alice Muriel, he has de- cided to take a house which will ba ready fall. There are those who say also that he may take unto him- self some one to be mistress of said to entertain his she as his sister, by lome. It is probable that young Mr. Astor will remain abroad several months, unless his mother wishes to return for the season at Newport. He has been staying at the Rhinebeck place for the last two months. EXTRA PIANO WOBK Some of my old customers wish me to make a visit to Lakeland, and 1 hope to do =0 in a week or two.
