Tho construction will b of th most expensive and durable charncter,

to Capo Knble, but when this waa made Mr. Flagler found that ho was sixty
miles from Key Wont and tw-elrs miles from what Is known as the three

along what may be called the general line of the roant.
In a scenic way this rosd will b notable. The views It will (rive of those
beautiful southern waters, with all their tenderness of tint, with the scores
of "keys" or Islands and Inlets, great and small, will make It like a voyage li
wonderland. Tho line will pass from key to key, and the flrNt deep water It
will strike will bo at what la known as Knight's Key, where there will be a
channel thirteen feet In depth.
Several drawbridges will be constructed, soms for the use of th small
vessels which are engaged In the sponge fisheries, the seat of the sponge
trad being Key West.

TACTFUL Ma TAKAMIRA,
Jupaneae Mlnlater to America Boo
from the Kanka,
The career and experience of To-
gnro Takahlra embraces most of the
varied changes In modern Japaneso
history, says the
Ileriew of Re
views. In bis early
youth he felt
keenly and deeply
the ancient feuded
life of samurai and
shogun, and when
Japau abandoned
the old order and
set her face to
ward the new be
swung Into and de
veloped with the
iew national life. Mr. Takahlra la
tine example of tho diplomat and gen
tleman of the Far 12a a L Hla cul
ture and training are many aided he
la learned In Chinese philosophy and
literature, he la a thorough scholar
In the Intricate literature of his owu
country, and he ttpvHks and writes
tlutmtly In aeverul EuroiK-an lan
guages.
Mr. Takahlra la not of the titled
clans he hits rlen from tho ranks.
Entering the Imperial diplomatic serv
ice In lrSTtl, after a thorough educa
tion at tho Japanese capital, he was
pppolnted attache to tho Japaoese le
gation In Washington, becoming sec
retary of that legation in 1KS1. Two
years later he was appointed secre
tary of the Foreign oillce. letter, he
held a numlxr of Important posts, In
cluding thou of chnrge d'affaires In
Core (lKNTi), consul general at New
York (ISiU), minister resident to Hol
land tlKIO, minister to Italy (1SU4),
minister to Austria (lMKI), vice minis
ter for foreign affairs tlMHii) ami vice
minister to the I'liitcil Watt's (11HK.I).
The Jiipiiiii'NV minister Is a liwin of
middle age, of a Ntroug, well built
frame, but broken Hoiuewliut from his
experience of hist wlutcr, when he waa
operated on for appendicitis. Tact
ful and diplomatic, it dlgnlllcd diplo
mat through and through, Mr. Tuku
hlrn has creditably iepresentwl Jap
anese Interests throughout the preseit
dllHcult ihtIchI of tho war. He has
only courageous expressions of appro
elation for the admirable qualities of
the Russian people, whom he under
stands thoroughly, He does not look
for peace In tho near future, but auys
that Japan Is quite ready and pre
pared to contlnuo the conflict as long
as may be necessary. As to the pos
sibility which has lieen suggested of a
ltusxo-Jnpanese alliance after peace,
has been concluded, Mr. Takuhlra de
clares this can never be. The Japan
ese people, lie points out, hnve been
odncuted, politically, along Anglo-Saxon
lines, and It would be very difficult
to change this national bent A Fran-co-RussIun
alliance might be possible,
but a Russo-Japauese alliance never.
years, the teeth had been preserved
in n much better condition.
Teeth were not part of bones, bat
part of the skin they were, In' fact,
dermaj appendages, old people were
surprised to find that when the teeth
of the lower Jaw departed there was
very little of th Jaw left. This pro
duced what was called the nut-cracker
physiognomy. Referring to the fact
that the crocodile had an animated
toothpick In the form of a bird, which
removed foreign matter, the lecturer
enforced the lesson of the necessity of
attending earefully to the cleansing of
the teeth and recommended attention
to them at night as being more Im
portant than In the morning.

BIGGEST WINDMILL OF ALL,
Para pa Water Into Golden Gate Park
in Han Krunciaco.
The largest windmill In the United
States, if, Indeed, not the largest in the
whole world, tius recently been con
structed near San Francisco. This
gigantic mill Is located directly on tho
tean beach, near the famous seal
rocks. It Is used for pumping water
up Into Golden (late Park.
The huge, strong wooden tower Kup
porting the wind arms rises ir.0 feet.
It is 40 feet Jipiare at tin? base, se
curely anchored and gradually tapers
upward, assuming a round shape.
There are four immense wooden
arms, or vanes. Each arm measure
hi) feet from the center or hub thus i
making a diameter of 1K feet In de
scribing the circle. The wind vanes
are 0 feet wide and extend nearly the
entire length of the huge arms.
This windmill is located upon a
prominent elevation, so that it may
catch every available wind arising in
that section.
This colossal windmill is capable of
developing no-horse power. Its pump
ing capacity is L'OO.miO gallons of wa
ter every twenty-four hours.
The water is taken from the wells
and forced through a large iron main
sixteen Inches in diameter, for nearly
four miles up into an immense reser
voir several hundred feet higher than
the ocean beach. From this reservoir
the water is distributed in all direc
tions through the park:
During the dry, hot season the arms
of this giant windmill are kept whirl-.
ing day and nlcnt to supply the thirsty
demand. As the mill stands on the i
wide, open beach, there is rarely, if
ever, any lack of wind; in fact, the ,
winds ocaslonally blow with such vio
lence that the mill is compelled to be
shut down, as !t would be risky to at
tempt to run it during a fierce gale.

trouble In keeping ofloat. The old fel

while lie bailed out his craft with tha

At this Juncture the relief boat came

to yourself. Don't pour them out upon

they don't want to hear of yours, be

The awakening of the trees, and th

selves in the new foliage of spring, al

they reveal anew their richness of life,
but we are never quite prepared for
the phenomenon, for in all their moods
and aspects, save this one, the trees
