Mr. E.M. Lock, proprietor of the Isla of Dreams/oft Lemon Bay, on tho coast of Florida, and within ten miles of tha little town of Arcadia, recently arrived in London. His 100-acre, island, .famed for its clams, is for 6ale at £1550. Mr. Lock told how he discovered the island whiler on a tarpon-fishing expedition. "The sole inhabitant," he said,; "came down to greet us—an. old Norwegian soldier* who had also served in the United States Navy. He had lived alone on the island for eight years in a small house built by himself. He-kept chickens, but his' principal food was the fat clams from their beds round the coast. Business is brisk in islands off Florida. When I; left an American millionaire had jnst purchased an island and turned it.into a golf course." : The latest typo of battleship is fitted with something like 100 miles of telephone wire connecting the fighting statons and navigattag and living quarters, while lifts are used to hoist ammunition, from the magazines to the gun crews on. the upper decks. On an average the Great Eastern Railway Company finds over 600 pipes left behind by'forgetful smokers in a - mouth. '.-'''
