THE DEAD SPRUCE,
The Conclusions OF an old Lum sherman In
Regard 10 the Causes Of tine Decay.

Mr.. Jarvis Hayward of Aroostook county,
being in Bangor recently, he was inter
viewed for the purpose of getting his views
as to the cause of so much dead spruce in
Northern Maine. Mr.. Hayward is large own
er of timberlands in AroOstook county, and
is practical wOodsman, having carried on
extensive logging Operations for the last 80
years, and his conclusions are based upon
his careful observations from the commence
ment of the trouble to the present time.
Mr.. Hayward says that the destruction of
such immense quantities of spruce trees,
during the last few years in AroOstook coun-
ty, is undoubtedly owing to the effects of a
great wind storm that swept all over the
northern part of the State in the month of
November, 1872, while the trees were loaded
with damp snow and the ground WAS vet un-
frozen The weight of the snow added to the
force of the wind caused the trees in whole
sections to be blown down, broken off at the
tops and started from their firm hold in the
ground. This was especially the case on the
nOrtherly sides OF hills where the trees were
most exposed to the force of the gale, and
in these places the insects to which the de-
struction of our forests has been attributed,
have lived and thrived on the dead and dying
trees, while in other sections scarcely any
evidence has been discovered of the ravages
Of this insect, except in isolated instances
which has always been the case since spruce
has been cut.
About three years after this gale, so many
trees were cut that appeared perfectly sound,
put were found decayed at the stump, to
seriously attract the attention of lumbermen
and timberland owners, while now no trees
are found in this condition, but they are
either dead clear to the top or sound and
hesthy all through.
Several different townships of timber land
were cited by Mr.. Hayward all going to prove
the correctness of his judgment as to the real
cause for this great loss of valuable timber. In
some sections the gale was so severe that mil
lions were blown down at the time. Mr.. II.
operated on 10, r. s, last winter. This
tow nship has high ridges or mountains
running through it nearly east and west,
and on the northerly side is found an i'm
mense amount of dead spruce, while just
over the ridge, on the southerly side, and in
the valleys below he found the trees green
and thrifty, showing no evidence of decay.
He also believes that the worm is the same
as has always been found in dead timber.
MIR. II. says that if this timber could have
been cut within two or three years after the
gale of 1872 that the most of it would have
been marketable, and in all cases at that time
excepting the first log from the stump, as the
trees commenced dying from the roots up,
but at this time the lumbermen find the tree
dead and sap-rotted clear to the top.

1t is rumored that in case Mr.. 4. W.
Cram does not accept the superintendency Of
the New Brunswick Railway, the position
will be offered Mr.. Eaton. who is now Gen
eral Freight Agent of the Maine Central
Railroad. Mr.. Eaton. is held in high esteem
by the Maine Central Co., and is conceded
to be well up in the department which he has
occupied for some years on that road.
The Maine Central railroad will be able to
run trains to Ellsworth in November. In
1884 the traveller to bar Harbor can leave Bos-
ton in the morning. and, going via the East
ern and Maine Central roads, arrive in time
to take tea at Bar Hsrbor; or, leaving Bar
Hsrbor in the morning get down in Boston
at tea time.
Josiah II. Drummond, in his report to the
Grand Lodge of Maine for 1883, gives the
number of Masons in the United States aud
Canada at 579s26, against $50, l49 last year;
q gain of 1857. This shows gain of about
l-2 per cent. the first since 1877, when it
stood ct 602 ,0s9. The Masons are now ahead
of 1874, but not up to 1875, and are once
more on the up grade. The raised this year
are 1914, against 22,s39 last year. The
suspensions for nop-pay ment of dues have
fallen of and stand 1859 against Is, $50.
This is really more encouraging. Mr.. Drum
mond remarks, than the increase of initiates.

the hand part of the movement all the

connected. The device is furnished
with nine dlals, Indicating the

and London. 1t has fifty-three
wheels. All the dial hands are driven
by one main movement, which is furn-
ished with two mainsprings, and cal
culations have been made to have all
the time indicators run for nine con-
secutive days without winding. They
are all run by oscillating power
that is to say, that all the nine move
ments form the pendulum ball which is
connected with the pendulum rod. On
top of the pendulum rod is the pendu-
lum spring on which the whole clock
rests. 1t is over four feet long and
about two feet in width. The dials are
set in a seven-pointed star, dial be-
ing in each corner, with the Newport
dial in the center. A Newport dial is
also set in the back, this being for the
special use of the maker. who has the
clock set in the window of his jewelry
store on Thames street. The main
movement is fastened between two
plates as large as the whole star on the
back, and the works can be taken out
of each clock and cleaned in few
minutes without disturbing any of the
others.
The woodwork represents the order
of. Odd Fellowship, of which Mr..
Hermann is a member. The carving
of the bow and arrows. the shepherd 5
crook. the bundle of wheat, the three
links, etc, is remarkably well done.
Every part of the clock, including the
woodwork, except the hands, was
made by Mr.. Hermann, who, as
might be expected, is proud of the
success of his years of toll and labor.
The clock attracts good deal of atten-
ton, the sidewalk in front of Mr.. Herr
mann's place of business being repeat
edly blocked with people.

He Would Be an Editor.
Sew York Sun.

Sew York Sun.
We frequently receive letters from
young men who are anxious to become
editors of newspapers, and who seek
our advice as to what they shall do to
accomplish the desire of their hearts.
The following is fair example of such
communications
81 am young man, 20 years old. 1t has
long been my desire to enter the newspaper
profession, believing it to be better suited to
my taste than any other occupation. For
some time past other pursuits have engaged
my attention, vet the desire for journalistic
labor has been constantly present Believing
as do that it is the only profession to which
the full power and energy of my mind can be
directed, would it not be wise for me to enter
upon it at once Is collegiate education
indispensable qualification for newspaper edi-
tor, or are a good common school training and
an acquaintance with general literature suttl-
cient.''
The more thorough the education of
a man the better is he adapted for an
editor, provided he has the other re-
quisites. We observe, however, that
men who exhibit their deficiencies of ed
ucation in everything they write, some
times undertake to conduct daily jour-
mails. Their work is coarse, slipshod,
and worthless, for the most part, but
perhaps they do not know it {; or per-
haps they think the public will not
mind it. They offer an example which
young men should especially avoid.
An ignorant editor, or one of an un-
cultivated mind. draws about him
writers of the same sort. A weak editor
will not have strong writers. An editor
without convictions and without homes
ty will not bring to his aid men who
have serious and honest convictions.
Puerility in the editor insures puerility
in the paper.
But the coarse and vulgar, the un-
educated. t1ippant, puerile, and silly
editors will not succeed. The public
cannot be put off with chaff.
We therefore advise our young friend
to extend the range of his knowledge as
far as possible. and to train his mind to
sound thinking, before he sets up as an
editor.
