of the fort and the reservation which lies about 
it, more historical events have occurred than 
in any other location like it on the continent 
of North America. 
The present skyline of the city as you look 
at it from the water to-day makes it resemble 
an oriental city, and itself tells the story of the 
passing of the day of the armed camp of which 
the dismantled and deserted fort stands in evi¬ 
dence; and of the later and better days of peace 
and the mingling of all nations which during 
the social season every year gather within its 
wa : 's for business and for pleasure, representa¬ 
tives of every race of people the wide world 
over, while the cart from the country, drawn 
by its lone ox, meets on the street the latest 
development of the auto, and the sailing boat 
in the harbor meets the last thing in motor 
boats. The draw in the bridge still swings in 
response to the sailing craft’s right-of-way on 
all navigable streams, and we can anchor in 
the bay before we continue our journey or 
moor our boat to the motor club wharf and 
resume our journey whenever we like, to 
Miami and the keys by the water way with no 
fear of storm or raging sea to disturb. 
This part of the journey was described in the 
Forest and Stream some years ago as the 
canal was completed from St. Augustine to 
Miami, before the other end, from St. Augus¬ 
tine to the St. Johns was opened.

HUNTBf ONE-TRIGGER 
'/■' ///* STT is no great achievement to get both 
V / JJ, birds with a Hammerless Smith Gun 
'y equipped with the Hunter One-Trigger attach- 
f ment. Because it is so easy. Still the satisfaction 
is none the less, for it does require a good eye and 
' a steady hand. 
•" THE GREAT ADVANTAGE of the Hunter One-Trigger 
is that you do not disturb your aim by changing from one 
trigger to the other. You simply pull the same trigger 
each time. There’s no relaxing of the muscles—no re- 
’ gripping—no re-adjusting yourself to the different length of 
stock represented by the distance between the two triggers 
—no disturbance of your aim. There’s no creeping or drag¬ 
ging, either—and no firing of both barrels atthe same time. 
Write your dealer at once—or us direct—for hand¬ 
somely lithographed Catalogue—it’s free. 
'if The greatest gun in the world today is the new V*._ 
* 20-Gait r e Hammerless Smith Gun with the

MEASURING FISH BY THE EYE. 
Not every man can measure fish accurately by 
eye ; says the Sun. Many people are apt to make 
their guess too big, and then there are many 
who, misled by the tapering head and the dimin¬ 
ishing tail end of the fish, are apt to make it 
too small. 
Here was a little bunch of men out fishing 
for blues, and presently one pulled in a hand¬ 
some and fair sized fish. Then somebody started 
guessing at the length of it and one guessed two 
feet and another four and still another three 
feet. 1 hen a man in the boat who was familiar 
with fishes glanced at this blue and said that he 
guessed it wou d measure two feet and a half; 
whereupon a man in the party who had a tape 
measure in his pocket got that out and put the 
tape on the fish, and it actually measured thirty- 
one inches. 
T here was just one man in the boat who could 
measure a fish accurately by the eye.
