CL1MATK.
The climate of Florida Is one of the
finest In tho world being remarknbly
equable, and agreeable, subject to fewer
atmospheric variations and with mer
uit y ranges much less than In any
other part of the United States except
a portion of tho coast of California. In
the summer .season It Uses higher In
every part of tho I'nlted States, and
even In Canada, than It docs along
the coast of Florida.
This Is shown by meteorological sta
tistics In tho I'nlted States bureau. As
lespects health, the climate of Florida
stands pre-eminent That the peninsu

(luting the whole ear and especially
tho summer months, the peninsula la
fn voted with a cool icfreshlng sea
breeze, which sets In from 9 to 12
o'clock In the foienoou and continues
until sunset. This bteeze Is leniark-
ably cool for the latitude, owing to tho
fact that the- cooler wateis of higher
and colder latitudes are constantly

Cape Hatterns to Cape Cannvetal and
l tinning, when not counteracted by ad

Tho cool temperature of these wa
ters Is Itself the cause of this never
falling breeze, being some seven ele
giees colder than that of the Gulf of
Mexico, as the sun rises the attnos
pheio over the gulf Is soon heated and
larllled. This heated air rises and
bilngs the cooler nlr of the Atlantic

fectly dear nnd tho ntninspheio dry

valuable asset Is her climate. Lying

Leaving Jacksonville with our faces
tinned southwaid, in eleven miles we
icach Haldwln, wheio there Is a junc
tion of the tlueo divisions tho w ost
ein to Tallahassee, lt5 miles, and the
contial to Cedar Keys and Tampa,
'JO I miles. In ISO miles wo pass through
Law toy, settled by Noithcin people,
the chief Industiy being orange cul
tute, vegetable and stiawbeny fann
ing, the success of which their neat
and often elegant lesldcntes attest
At Staiko Is a branch to the Suwan
nee ilver, also sin rounded b.v mange
gtnves, peach nnd pear orchaids, v Ine-
yaids and stiavvhcny larms.
At Waldo, 56 miles fiom Jacksonville,
Is a bianih to Cedar Ke.vs on the
Gulf of Mexico. 71 miles distant, and
bote wo will diverge fiom the main
line, passing thiough latco, compact
bodies of virgin timber nwaltlng the
sawmill, thiough to Gainesville, a gas
lighted cltv, with a street railway ss
tern and two banks and fine residences
and miles and miles of continuous
lime mck roads, also through vege
table farms of surptlslng fertility.
At Atelier Is a settlement of Quakers
with a handsome meeting house, nnd
close at hantl are seven pnyiphate
mines of high grade and lallway sta
tions for shipment. Surrounding hete
aio high rolling pine lands, nnd sev
eial bundled acies of fine young or
ange gloves Just coming Into beailng.
From heio, eight unimportant stations
wostvvaid, In Ing us to Cedar Kes, 127
miles fiom Jacksonville. located on
one of the gioup of Islands on the
Gulf of Mexico, sin i minded hy nuin
ei ous other Islands or keys, all of
gieat beauty of location, lying IK miles
south of the Suwannee ilver. Heie Is
found tho noted cedar used In tho
making of pencils, and the Ameikan
and Palior pom II mills are located
here, and excellent pine timber, nlso
fish and sponge gathering aie Impnit
ant Intermits. The climate Is most
equable, and the temperutuie well ic-
pays a visit ot some duration. From
hero a regular line of steamers runs to
Tampa and Key West. .
CKNTHAL LAKH ItL'aiON.
Itctraelng to the limln line, wo
enter tho Central Lake legion,
which Is 20(ffeet above sea level, where
arc found the most fertile lands on
the west loast. Theio are also several
largo lakes, seven of which nie as
lino bodies of water as found In the
country, and afford remarkable protec
tion from frost. This Is the famous
fruit section, tailed the "Oiango bell."
Considerable business In ft tilt is dnno
hero along theso lakes by a regular
steamer pnsslng thiough the outlets
connecting each lake with the other.
One lot alone contains 500 notes de
voted exclusively to watermelons nnd
eantcloupes. Tho land icqulies no
cultivation. At Orange lako were
found what, befoio tho great fieco ot
1R93, had been some of tho largest or
ange groves In tho state. Along heie,
thiough tho luxuriant vegetation, wo
get glimpses of bright clusteis of wild
oranges and trees. Theso wore for
merly utilized In tho shape of Juice to
be converted Into citric acid, but of
late theso native tioos have been
grafted to sweet kinds, nnd become
tho foundation of tho finest gloves In
tho stale. Hero Is found also tho "saw
palmetto," growing like huckleberry
bushes; also the "cabbage palmetto,"
glowing to trees, the leaves largo
enough to bleach nnd make hats and
fans. This tieo glows to the height
of 30 feet. In tho heart of tho tieo
Is the cabbage, which they cook and
oat, like the Northern cabbage, nnd
Is ot equal good llavor. They destroy
tho tree in older to get tho cabbage.
At Hawthorn thoy weio very nuni-
oious. The soil Is rich with .shell,
mail and clay and prolltlo In peach
and manges. Thiough heio weio also
nuincioils turpentine plants.
At Lockloosa station Is a lake l.i
miles across, with heavily wooded
shines, which will, no doubt, become
a favorite lesott for winter tomlsts.
Along tho palmetto lined shines of this
lnke aio from 70.000 to 100,000 full bear
ing orange trees; 1,200 bad to be re
moved to make lonni for the const mo
tion of the Seaboaul iatlwu. Then
comes C'ltr.i and Island Grove and
Spair, embowered among live oaks
and magnolias; Anthony, In the high,
health pine land, with Its numerous
phosphate plants, mills, stoics, schools
and beautiful churches. Aftci passing
four unimportant stations, thiough
wild secnei, wo nirlvo at Spilng Park
and Sllvei Spring Junction, and a
two-mile side Hack takes us to tho
famous Silver Spilngs, the objective
point of tho touiist.
SILVHU SPIJINGS.
Silver Paik Is blight with Its attiae
live winter homes inhabited by New
Ihigland and Middle States' people,
with lino ouug groves glow Ing up
and aioiiud them The Silver SpiJngs
Is one of the wondeis of this tioplc.il
clime, a ast basin t.00 feet In diam
eter, clear as ir.vstal. and could be
appropi lately called "eivstal spilngs"
The Seaboaid alwa.vs affoids Its pas
sengeis an oppottunlty to visit It. Sil
ver Spilngs pioper aio lonlained In
live limestone basins, healing names
suggested by the hues of the lock
and the vat legated mosses therein.
The latgest basin is about S3 feet deep
by 200 feet wide, and the water Is so
ti.inspaient that a dime thiown to
the bottom can be clearl.v seen, and all
objects placed In this water Immedi
ately take on an It (descent glow. The
glistening sand on the bottom looks
as If but a few Inches beneath tho
sin face. No pen can descilbo this
natuial wonder and do It Justice. The
wateis of this spilng aie 70 degrees
the ear around, and after limning 9
miles thiough Silver inn, empty Into
the Ocklawha ilver one bundled miles
fiom Its mouth.
OCA LA.
Oeala. 91 miles from Jacksonville, Is

Upturning to Wlldwood Junction, and
