Giant Fish of Florida 
Florida—and tarpon fishing must gain a wider public before 
long—some of the chief fish that they are likely to meet 
with in those waters. 
Two curious facts that I find in my diaries seem worth 
setting down in conclusion. One is that dogs cannot live long 
in that climate. They succumb within four years to a disease 
that has hitherto been a complete mystery. A local doctor 
has, however, isolated the microbe responsible for the mischief. 
My other hint is for the smoker. I find that a local cigar 
epicure always made a practice of storing his weeds in the 
refrigerator, in order to keep them in condition, for it is more 
difficult to keep cigars green than in a perfectly matured 
state. 
THE END.
