"Silver spring," according to a Florida correspondent, is the most unique spot near that most unique of rivers, the Oclawaha. One marvels over the clear transparent water. Your boat seems to float in the air, and objects can be seen eighty feet down at the bottom—fish, too, are plainly seen. The bottom is silver sand, varied with pale emeralds, huge colored rock, strange formations of lime crystals and white coral. The spring throws out thousands of gallons of water a minute, but there is scarcely discernible a ripple on its surface. Drop in a coin and you can follow it with your eyes to the sand at the bottom as it zigzags downward.
