SWre HPuafppU.

At recent meeting of the Boston Society Of
Arts Prof. Edward s. Morse of Salem gave
some of the results of his experiments in util
izing the heat Of the sun in warming houses.
The first heater that he tried was made 81
corrugated iron and slanting sashes of glass
upon which the rays of the sun we're allowed
to fall. The air which came from outdoors
through this heater, and which was discharged
into hall, was raised about 800 10 tempera-
ture by the process. Slate was then suhsti-
tuted for the corrugated iron, and-ths machin-
cry of the heater Was made rnora complex,
when slightly better results were obtained At
9.45 a. NJ. ON one day, with an outdoor temper
ature of 64o, the air when discharged regis
tered temperature of $40 At the end of the
next hour the difference was 80. Over 49,.
600 cubic feet OF air passed through the heater
in five hours, which is thought to show its use-
fulness for ventilating purposes. An expert
ment with the heater On the Athen@um build
ing in Boston has shown difference of 42o in
tho temperature of tbs ais at the mouth, and
at the discharging point. Professor Morse be-
lieves that the apparatus can be made of prao-
tical use in heating and ventlating churches,
schools, print-wooks and drying roons.

The Mutual Life Insurance Company.
Mr. Richard A. McCurdy, who has been
elected president of this old life company, to
fill the vacancy caused by the death OF Mr.
Winston, has been an active vice president of
the company since 1866. His status in the
company for SO many years has been SO veil
defined, and his voice so potent in its manage
ment that his promotion was a foregone con.
clusion, and hence bis election was unanimous.
Mr.. mcCurdy is an educated gentleman Of re-
finemsnt, aud was for some years the attorney
OF the company snd Mr.. Winston's trustee
lieutenant in all matters OF Importance, He
is an interchangeable worker, and seems TO do
his work with relish for it and with an ease
that can only come of good training and ling
practice, and is, in all respects, we'll qualified
for the position. Under his manaeemgnt
there will be no halt in the progress OF the
company, and the business will proceed with
ont any arrangement whatever. He will have
use for all his energies in the double work now
thrust upon him, until the vice presidency can
be filed with an equally competent man. The
company low stands at the head OF all the life
companies Of the world and Mr.. McCurdy
may safely be- trusted not only to maintain its
prestige, but to add to its we'll won honors.

THAT DELINQUENT POSTMASTER,
Career of the Centre Lincoinvilie Official
Vine Cheated the Government Out of
$sO0O.

The fraudulent operations OF the Centre
Lincolnville postmaster who was brought to
this city last Saturday began in 1869, and
have extended over period of sixteen years,
constantly increasing in magnitude. His plan
was to make fraudulent returns to the depart
ment, reporting the number Of stamps can
celled as larger than tho true cancellation.
He began in small way, gradually increasing
the number returned, until the postal author
tiles became suspicious, and placed the case in
the hands of Post Office Inspector e. Curtis
Stevens of Hallowell, who, ia his usual ener-
getic manner. brought the delinquent post
master to grief. For forty days the mails at
East Belmont and Camden, the only outlets
for the Centre Lincoluvie postofiice, were
watched, and it was ascertained that the
actual cancellation of stamps by Dunton dur
ing that time was $13.62, while the amount re-
turned BY him to the department. was $124
During the year 1884 he returned S1246 as the
amount OF stamps cancelled, giving him
salary OF $500, and placing the office almost
within the limit of a Presidential appoint
ment. On the basis of the 40 days examin-
alton he would have received but salary of
Ss0. When arrested he gave way to his feel
ings and became much broken do1n. The
sum of IS in stamps was found in ths office.
March 31st at the close of the quarter he "a.
When being asked what had become of all his
stamps he equivocated, and finally acknowl
edged that he used them TO pay bill which
he owed. It is estimated that his total re-
ceiptS from the fraudulent operations during
the is years. will reach $1,000.
