PLANT ISLANDS IN FLORIDA
Increase in Price of Land Along the
West Coast Responsible for
Unique Business.
For some time island planting as
an industry has been practiced in
Florida, where island homes are much
sought. The increase in the priee of
land along the west coast led to this
unique business, which grew out of
the opening up of the country by a
railway line constructed not so long
ago.
Counting upon the opportunity of
sales which would arise when the
promised improvements along the new
line were actually accomplished, when
the immense docks for the handling
of hundreds of thousands of phos-
phate output at Boca Grande should
materialize, an enterprising man
planted from time to time islands at
the mouth of coral creek, not far from
the bridge, two miles in length, which
spans Gasparilla sound.
The first experiment was with a
mattress of twisted roots. This was
16 feet square with seeds of water-
growing plants, palmetto and live oak
scattered over the sand and broken
shell utilized as top covering. Ropes
were tied to the four corners, with
large stones as weights. Frequent in-
ispection revealed that sand and silt
from the mainland, with the extrane-
fous matter from the Gulf washed past
the protecting piling of the long
‘bridge, had materially aided the plan.
The success of the first island was
such that seven others were soon
‘planted. Three of these are now more
than fifty feet in diameter. Connec-
ting them is a sandbar which prom-
ises to form the group into a large
and compact body of land.
TARARE IS CITY OF MUSLINS
Little French Village Which Was Lost
in the Mountains Now Center
of Thriving Industry.
Tarare, in east central France, is the
city of muslins. It was formerly a
little village lost in the Beaujolais
mountains, but now it is the center of
a thriving industry. For more than
half a century it has conducted a
world-wide trade in the finest muslins,
the secret of making which originally
came from India; and as a result of
that trade the village has become
famous. Each year, in honor of Si-
monet, the founder of the mills, the
people celebrate the muslin festival,
which enlls forth the liveliest holiday
spirit in all of the inhabitants.
Last year the festival lasted three
days, during which the little city was
truly a city of muslin. Everywhere
houses, balconies and facades all but
disappeared under the light and color-
ful decorations, which were always
pretty and sometimes ingenious.
Above the middle of the streets were
suspended domes {rom which long
streamers of muslin were draped in
graceful curves to the second-floor
windows of the houses; reseda, cream,
»vory and rose predominate—gay and
beautiful colors like garlands of
flowers hanging from immense corals.
Vehicles of all kinds were adorned
with fancy musling and gave the
scene a brilliancy such as bright flow-
ers give to the festivals of southern
California,
Youthful Greed.
The little boy with the rather grub
Jy face was crying lustily in the
street when a kind old woman, who
happened to be passing, stopped and
asked him the cause of his grief.
“Boo-hoo! Cause I've lost a penny.
Mother gave it to me and I can’t find
it anywhere.”
“Ah, never mind,” sald the kind old
soul, as she took her purse out of her
pocket.
you.”
The child instantly stopped his
howling and took the penny in his
grimy hand. The old woman passed
on, but she had not gone far when she
heard howls louder than ever coming
from the boy. Retracing her steps
she asked the reason of his renewed |
lamentations.
“I'm crying ‘cause—'cause if 1
hadn't lost that first penny I'd have |
two now.”
