HOW PH0SP1 Florida Once a Hegio goo Jacksonville Times At the beginning of the great divi sion of geologic time, known as the Tertiary, before the advent of man upon the earth, the outlines of the southeastern border of the North American Continent were very differ ent from those now shown by the maps. The sea extended far inland from the present shores to the foot of the highlands still existing; on the average, about half way between the seacoast and inland extremes of the j eoast tier of States as at present bounded. This ancient shore line roughly coincided with the inner mar gin of what geologists now call the great coastal plain of the eastern and southern United States. The sea wore upon and more or less eroded the sur face of the deposits laid down during the preceding epoch of cretaceous time. Upon this worn surface the alluvium, gravel and general detritus from the dry land was laid down and the sea bottom occupied by multitudes of sea animals, corals, barnacles, worms, shellfish, crabs, and so on ; while over it wandered the swimming population of ; the sea, fishes, toothed whales and the like, whose bony re mains, at death, sank, to be added to the general mass of the deposit. The lower part of the Mississippi Valley wa9 represented by a large bay, from which the shore curved round to the eastward and northward in the vicinity of Livingston, Bridgeport and Clayton, Alabama; Macon and Augusta, Georgia, and Hamburg and Chesterfield, South Carolina. South of this there is no evidence of any dry land or islands existing at this time short of the West Indian Islands. The entire Floridian region was below the sea, and probably deeply sub merged. The earliest or Eocene division of the Tertiary t witnessed no serious change in the conditions of the shore line, though hundreds of feet of sedi ment settled on the sea floor, entomb ing myriads of fossils. The- later portion of the Eocene appears to have been a period of extremely profuse marine life, and the fauna shows so many changes that by many geologists it is separated from the true or earlier Eocene under the name of Oligocene, j Among other features of this period is the existence of multitudes of fora minifera, very lowly animals without organs, and apparently composed of a pellucid jelly, but having the capacity for forming calcareous shells compos ed of a multitude of little chambers or cells, the walls of which are perforated by small pores or foramina, whence the name. The little circular disks so common in the soft white limestone, and about as large as a nickel, belong to this group. So abundant were these animals that their cast-off shells -comprise a large part of the marine limeston?s deposited during the oligo cene, and artesian wells in South Florida have been drilled through nearly two thousand feet of limestone of this character. The early part, perhaps in time more than half the period during which these deposits were formed, is known as the Vicksburgian ; since at Vicks burg, Miss., the formation was first studied and described. Thus the mass of the rocks of which the State of Florida is composed were the result of the marine life of this time, and only in the northern part of the State were any important contributions made I to the general mass by washings from .pre-existent land. In this consists the eminent peculiarity and unique character of the Floridian geology. The Vicksburg rocks are almost en tirely composed of organic material that is, lime, clay, silex and iron taken up by marine animals from the water in which they lived, and deposited their limestone strata after their death. Toward the end of the Vicksburgian a movement in elevation began, which brought ubove the sea level a part of the land in the vicinity of Ocala, forming au island or group of islands between4Cuba;and the'Georgian main land, and the evidence is very strong that these low islets, containing num erous lagoon*s,df resh water and wood ed with palms, reed* and other sub tropical vegetation, remained as dry ?land from t!h-j?t 'to the'present'time. The strait then existing between these islands and the coutinent was deepest in the present valley of the Suwannee Hiver, and was 'named by the present writer, some years ago, theouwaunee Strait. At the same time the low borders of the continent, of a similar structure, began to risc above the sea, form rag a coasted plain of marshes and lagoons inhabited by tortoises, birds and oth^r shore animals, lt is well known that birds, seals and simi lar animals select for their rookeries, when possible, such islets as'those described, as the locations give them security froin'predaceous animals, and an undisturbed breeding place for their young. The islets and bars off the HATE CAME. n of Marshes and La ns, . Union and Citizen. coast theo became the residence of myriads of sueh animals. In dry climates the droppings of birds, etc., consolidate into guano, 'but, from the traces of fossil vegeta tion and fresh water fossils, it is probable that the climate of the Flori dian region was not unlike what it is now, at certain periods of the year subject to recurrent showers As at the present time, these rains sank rapidly into the loose, absorbent lime stone, carrying with the water the chemical constituents of the excreta of the various animals and birds. As phosphate acid has a greater affinity for lime than carbonic acid, atom by atom the carbonate of lime in such loealities became converted into the less soluble phosphate of lime, and, as .the process was continued for thous ands of years, in all probability, the first steps in the formation of the invaluable phosphate beds of Florida were taken in this way. The acids derived from the contract of rain water with decaying vegetation dissolved and carried away in solution much of the unaltered carbonate of lime, so that a perpetual concentration of the less soluble phosphate was in progress. Those particles or pieces of the lime stone which were most thoroughly phosphatized remained, while the rest was gradually dissolved and the subsi dence of the honey-combed rock re sulted in gravel and angular frag ments, as crushed by the v weight of the remaining rock. Where there were rivers these frag ments became rounded into pebbles and mixed with the bones and teeth of fossil animals. The richer and therefore harder fragments resisted wear longer than the others, so here also a natural concentration was in constant progress. The softer and more soluble phosphate material was redeposited in lumps, drusy layers on the rock cavities, and as a superficial coating on pebbles and grains of lime. The organic silicia, sponge sp?cules, and the like, entangled in the lime stone, was also in a more soluble state than ordinary mineral silica, ?nd was dissolved by percolating waters and redeposited as chalcedonic nodules, geodes, sheets and stringers in cavi ties in the limestone. Worn by run ning water, fractured by subsidence, trifurated by mutual friction, this re deposited silica became the source of a large part of the Floridian sands. As the limestone dissolved, the iron and clay it contained were left behind and restratified or mixed with the residual fragments of the original rock. Where exposed to the weather the iron oxydised, forming the red soils of the State, or was partly redeposited as a blackish coat on flints and pebbles, or the surface of siliceous rock. So the mills of the gods, driven by wind, rain and surf, have been grind ing on ; the surface of the land grad ually rising from age to age, a little more rapidly tban it sank from solu tion of its mass: The strait to the northward grew narrower, but was still open during the miocene period, when changes to the northward brought down the coast a current of cold water, driving before it, southward, or kill ing a large part of the marine animals used to a higher temperature. This current passed through the Suwan nee Strait, and brought with it north ern animals which populated the northern shores of the Gulf, east of the Mississippi, and some of whioh were hardy enough to survive through subsequent changes to the present day. The cold water, however, did not reach west of the Mississippi or far to the south. Near the end of the miocene (which forms the middle division of Tertiary time) an accelerated movement in ele vation began, and the bottom of the Suwannee Strait was raised above the sea, cutting oft the cold waters from the Gulf and producing a peninsula not unlike the present one in shape, though smaller. The southern marine animals began to return into the now wanner waters of the Gulf : the con tinent had become joined to South America, and along the road thus opened curious South American mam mals, like the Glyptodon, found their way uortihward and eastward. With the culmination of the eleva tion the miocene ended, and the plio cene or last epoch of the Tertiary be gan. Glyptodons, elephants and other animals found their way into the peninsula, their steps perhaps hasten ed by the cold which ushered in the glacial period, ending the pliocene. The tropical marine population re ceived another check and many of its members perished ; others, more har dy, still survive. The peninsula was wrinkled longitudinally, forming a central valley and two lateral folds or low ranges of hills. At the same time it was slightly tilted, the eastern edge rising about twenty feet and the west ern edge correspondingly depressed. As the glaciers ground up the crystal line rocks of the north, the winds and currents carried the sands along the coast and down the eastern side of the peninsula, thus reinforcing the native sands of the State. Toward the southern edge of the peninsula corals made reefs, and the wide flats behind them were gradually filled with silt from the waters of the central valley and limestone deposited from the calciferous waters of the drainage, thus forming the vast marshes of the Everglades. ' The sands from the seashore blew inland before the trade winds, masking the original topography, and raising here and there substantial dunes. Then all was ready for the advent of man, attracted by the wealth of fur, fish and fruit, who should, in the lapse of centuries, make a garden of the wilderness. With the exception of the gentle elevation it would seem that the vol canic disturbances of the West Indian region, and the orographic mountain building forces of the continent have alike passed by, or failed toreaeh, the main area of the State, which has re mained in tranquility, rarely much higher than at the present time, and remarkable as the sole portion of the United States where the country rock is almost exclusively of organic origin, and has been modified by solutionary instead of detrital agencie3. Such, in brief, is the geological his tory of Florida and the source of its phosphatic wealth, as read from the evidence of the rock. * Though neces sarily in part hypothetical, no other hypothesis in harmony with all the facts has yet been proposed, and the writer believes that future study will hardly do more than confirm the details of the processes whose bold outlines have been, suggested here. WILLIAM H. DALL, United States Geological Survey. Xew Household DeTices. It really seems as if the domestic help, the handmaid and the handmen of the present day household, bad the favored end of the situation, says the New York Sun. Not only are devices for lessening their labors being con stantly introduced, but new inven tions for prompting the memory, and so saving the strained relations inci dent to oversights and omissions, are also found among the furnishings for pantry and kitchen. ? self-closing bread bin, all scarlet paint without and porcelain lining within, is the newest recruit in the list. "Servants invariably neglect to shut a bread box, and if they do shut it they leave an opening sufficient for dust to get in," exclaimed a salesman. "Cake or any cooked viand they are more careful about, but bread, with a thick crust to it, they appear to leave to its own protection. Various cus tomers have spoken of this from time to time, so an inventor has taken the hint and made this cylindrical bin that closes the moment the loaves are put into it." A self-acting knife washer is another invention designed 'to prevent the over-burdened hired girl from having to remember that the handles of knives ought not to be put into hot water. It is a double-decked affair, with places for the big overgrown knives and places for the small knives. The knife washer does everything but get its own hot water and wipe the knives after their scrubbing. That much is still left to the domestics. A new egg breaker has just taken precedence over all previous egg breakers. It not only cracks the shell, but holds the hot egg as well, thus saving Katie's fingers from the least possible burn. This invention looks something like a pair of curved edged scissors, with sharp little teeth to hold by. There is a new contrivance for shaving ice, and new appliances for rounding it into balls for use about the butter and other delicate dishes. The conven iences for peeling and paring vegeta bles, slicing them and chopping them up and for measuring out seasonings and condiments, are a revelation to people who have not kept up with thc van of improvement. Bvery year a new raisin seeder conies out, and thc latest device for this purpose would bc interesting tu the old-time house wives, who spent hours seeding rai sins for ;i birthday or :t wedding cake, armed only with fruit knives ;md patience that resisted stickiness. There have been divers bottle lock ers put on the market from time to time, but 1898 sees a new one possess ed of au actual key. which can be borne away in the pocket of the bottle owner, and so afford tangible evidence of the security ol' thc much-prized vintage. "We have sold no end ot' these," says thc salesman. "'They take much better than the self-fasten ers, that depended on the cork's swell ing as a precaution. There seems to he a feeling among owners of win?; cel lars that it is perfectly natural for the butler t?? give way to temptation in this regard, or for thc cook or thc child"< nurse on off afternoons and evenings tn take a clandestine swig at any tipple she may prefer. When thc choicest wino thai the house alfords ari' locked. .->arh in its own bottle, and {.in- separate keys arc in their tum locked away in cabinet or desk drawer, thc master and mistress enjoy a free dom from responsibility.' A contrivance not made especially for servant's use. but that might lie adopted by them with convenience, is an implement for reaching out and geting things without rising from one's chair. It is probable that the designer had the comfort of invalids and hopeless folk in mind when lie planned it, but able-bodied folk, both above and below stairs, have been quick to see its merits. When shut up it looks like a pair of tweezers or scissors, but it is light and pliant, and at the slightest touch jumps out and lengthens into a half-yard long uten sil, with two little claws at the end for hooking up the desired object. A newspaper or handkerchief, the skirt of a creeping infant, a skein of yarn, or any light thing that one's comfort requires, can be grabbed and brought within range by this contrivance. It is called a "Lazy Tom." The sybar ite, either in the kitchen or in the sitting room, when armed with it can go a-fishing among surroundings with out moving an inch from the special jilace he has found comfortable. To Rid the State of all Rascals. Captain W. H. Harrison, better known to his friends as Tip Harrison, proposes a ubique plan for elevating the moral standard of the community. He wants to hold an election in every county on the first of January of each year for the purpose of deciding by ballot who is the meanest man and the most unconscionable scoundrel. On the first of February the man receiving the higest number of votes is to be hanged until he is dead, and as there are 137 counties in Georgia, the State would get rid of 137 of its worst char acters every year. Mr. Harrison pro poses to introduce woman's suffrage in this contest, and women will be el igible for election. The merits of this innovation are best described in Captain Harrison's own language. , He says: "By holding such an election in every county once a year, we could do a great deal to nd the State of object ionable characters and create a healthy condition of public and private morals. All kinds of meanness would be inclu ded, and men in all walks of life would be eligible for election. The tramp who steals dinner from another tramp would have as good a showing as a bank-wrecker who robs the widow of her mite. I propose, also, that women be made eligible and allowed to vote. In that case, the tattling busybodies and tale bearers who sow the seeds of strife among their neigh bors, would not be ignored. I have i no doubt that many of the women j would vote for their husbands on per sonal grounds, and as a closed ballot would be used, there would be a full, free, and wholesome expression of opinion. "By executing the rascal-elect we would rapidly get rid of the worst ele ment of our population. Just before the first of January every year there would be a big exodus. The rascals would leave the State as frightened rats fly from a burning barn. In ad dition to that the complimentary vote many would get could not but have a wholesome effect. Fellows who are not living right or not treating their neighbors right would receive timely warning, arid many a downward career would be checked before it got beyond reformation. "The election would be fair beyond any sort of cavil, and it wouldn't take an Australian ballot to make it so. .There wouldn't be any electioneering, and there would not be any carraige hired to convey voters to the polls. The vote would be the free, unbiased opinion of the people as to the respec tive meannesses of those voted for. A very healthy moral tone would be diffused through the community, and many a man would be surprised and put to thinking on his manner of life. The election would hold up to moat men ihe looking glass that the poet Burns talks about, and it would be a good medicine; heroic treatment but none the less effective. It is well known that public sentiment is more powerful than the law, and the plan proposed would apply to the reforma tion of human nature the most power ful corrective influence that is known. It may be a little in advance of thc times, but the times are so badly out of joint that it is going to take some such moral surgery to mend them. "This idea was suggested to me many years ago by a very wisc mau, and I have been keeping it until the time should bc ripe for its promulga tion. I think the idea has so much merit that, once suggested, it will go on until it has been adopted in every civilized country. It might be well to experiment with it a little before ac tually putting death penalty in force. That would come eventually, but the people would have to be educated up to that point. The effect of a mere expression of opinion would be so great that the public would soon see the benefit of such a system, and would not be satisfied until it had been carried to its logical conclusion. I hope to live to see it tried."-Atlanta Journal. To ??et ?id of Fleas.

Of course Webster was in demand by those who could afford to pay for his services. A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the Constitution in an amusing way, however. He had a small case which was to be tried in Nantucket one week in June, and he posted to Webster's office in great haste. It was a contest with a neigh bor over a matter of considerable local interest, and his pride as a litigant was at stake. He told Webster the particulars, and asked what he would charge to conduct the case. "Why," said Webster, "you can't afford to hire me. I should have to stay down there the whole week, and my fee would be more than the whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less than $1,000. I could try every .case on the docket as well as one, and it wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take all my time for the entire week, anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," quickly responded the Nantucketer. "Here's your $1,000. You come down, and I'll fix it so you can try every case." Webster was so much amused over this proposition that he kept his word. He spent the entire week in Nan tucket, and appeared on one side or the other in every case that came up for hearing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel out to all his friends who were in litigation, and received in re turn about $1,500, so that he got Webster's services for nothing, and made a good profit to boot. If that man was alive in these days of trusts and syndicates he would probably be at the head of a legal trust, controlling the services of all the big lawyers of the country.-Bos ton Herald. - It is estimated that this country contains 350,000,000 chickens, and that they lay nearly 14,000,000,000 eggs each year, worth $165,000,000. The value of the poultry meat each year is estimated at $125,000,000, the total annual poultry produce being $290,000,000, which exceeds the value of swine, wool and sheep combined, being almost greater than the produc tion of oats, tobacco, potatoes, wheat or cotton. There has never been a correct census of poultry and eggs, however, and the figures claimed may uot be correct. - A couple of lawyers engaged in a case were recently discussing the issue. "At all events," said the younger and more enthusiastic, "we have justice on our side." To which the older and wiser replied, "Quite true ; but what we want is the chief justice on our side.''_ Medicihi It is true wisdom for every body to take a thorough course of Swift's Specific just at this season of the year. The blood is sluggish and impoverished, and the system is full of impurities which should be eliminated. In addition to thoroughly cleansing the blood, and toning up the system BO as to avoid loss of appetite and a gen eral run-down feeling in the spring, S. S. S. so strengthens and builds up as to fortify against the many forms of dangerous illness that abound during the hot sum mer season. It is a very small matter to take this precaution but it iusures health and strength all summer. Swift's Specific S.S.S.rfie Blood is far ahead of all other remedies for this purpose. It is a real blood remedy which promptly purifies the blood and thoroughly renovates the entire system, tonea and strengthens the stomach, and renews the appetite. It is the only safe tonic, being purely vege table, and the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no arsenic, sulphur, mercury, potash or other mineral substance, which is of so much importance to all who know the injurious effects of these drugs. Nature should be assisted by na ture's remedy, S. S. S. Take S. S. S. and be well all summer. im NOTICE.

Every man watches I his balance in the bank, and his balance in his cash account, pretty closely. There is an other ledger account I that the average man ?entirely forgets to his own undoing. It is his account with death. It is more important than a "profit .and loss " account, for its a "life and death " account. It is a man's duty to himself and familyto lock up this account once every day and see that the balance is on the right side. It doesn't pay to let this account run on, and have it debited with indigestion, and then impure blood, and finally nervous ex haustion, or prostration, or deadly con sumption. When these diseases come it means a debit balance with death brought down in the blood red ink of another life sacrificed on the altar of foolish overwork and neglect of health.
