Ever since the whites settled the coast
Of Maine numerous deposits Of shells Of
both the clam and oyster have been dis
covered from time to time. These shells
were found either on the coast itself or
ON the banks Of rivers not far from the
sea. The oyster shell heaps on the west
ern bank OF the Damariscotta river early
attracted the wonder Of the settlers, and
became, many years ago, celebrated
throughout the surrounding region.
A mile above the village Of Damaris-
Gotta indications of shells appear on the
river banks. From the point of their
first appearance the shells are in small
and Struggling heaps AS one ascends
the river, however, the heaps become
larger and the intervals between them
become shorter. Soona continuous white
mass Of shells appears, extending several
hundred feet along the river. The mass
assumes the form Of bluffs whose tops
are covered with trees and shruhbery,
but whose precipitous faces have never
been covered, but have been kept ex-
posed by che erosive action Of the tides
and by the frosts Of unending years.
Exact dimensions Of these deposits can
not be given for reason that no extensive
mining of the shells has ever been under
taken. They occupy q peninaula Of sew
eral acres area.-Boston Globe.

The Color Of the Sen.

The cause of the generally blue color
of the deep sea is accounted for by refer
ence to certain principles connected with
the science of optics. Probably most are
aware that light consists of the set OF
colors which we see so beautifully dis.
played in the rainbow. Now, it is the
law of light that, when it enters any
body, and is either reflected or transmit
ted to the eye, certain portion of It,
consisting of more or less of its colors, is
lost in the body; the remaining color
being reflected, strikes our visual sense
and whatever color that may be, the oh
ject seems Of that color, Now, 1t chances
that the portion of light most apt TO be
reflected from masses of transparent fluid
is the blue, and hence it is that the air
and the sea both appear of this color

We often hear It remarked. and par
ticularly after the eruption Of a volcano,
that pumice stone ought to be plentiful
and cheap, as quantities must have been
elected during the volcanic disturbance
AS matter of fact, however, none Of
the white stone In general use Is obtained
from active volcanoes. 1t comes from
deposits Of the article discovered In one
or two quarters Of the globe, the best Of
which is at present TO be found in the
island of Lipari. situate In the Tyrrhen-
ian sea. The island is mountainous in

Thespian Superstition.

The superstition of actors and actresses
extends to all the smallest minutie Of
their business, and one peculiar fad with
many of them is to seek out some little,
Insignificant shop In some unfrequented
locality where they can buy their wigs,
their footwear, their powder and paint,
and 80 on. Happy is he or she who can
discover some such place that has been
little known before, for is 1t not an au-
gury Of good fortune? Many theatrical
people abiure entirely the large and we'll
known establishments that deal in the
atrical supplies and give their patronage
to less pretentious places down town.
There Is sort Of Freemasonry in the
profession by which the news Of the find
ing Of these small shops is passed from
ear to ear, so that a considerable patron
age in time accrues to the lucky proprie-
tor. On the other hand, there are those
who are more selfshly inclined and keep
their lucky "finds" TO themselves as far
as possible, believing that the "spell'
will be broken If they say much about
1t or advertise it even TO their friends

The Charm of nInsin.

A new mode of calming the nerves was
one resorted TO by little girl who had
to have two large teeth extracted. The
dentist who was to pull the teeth has a
piano in his reception room. His patient
came and brought little friend. Instead
of proceeding to the chair, however, she
paused at the piano. Would you like
me to play for you, doctory" said she. On
receiving an affirmative answer she exc
cuted gay waltz, and then said: "Per-
haps you would like 70 hear both Of us
play. Shall we try duetY" This ao-
complished, the young diplomat offered
to sing, and the doctor expressing great
delight at the prospect she did so; then
the two little girls sang together, and
then, having either gained courage
enough or recognizing that the evil houI
could not be further delayed, she arose
from the piano, walked composedly tc
the chair and stood the tooth pulling

have been formed during the last few
years cooked food supply companies, -
which have served families over a wide
area with perfectly well cooked food, In
large variety, hot or otherwise, accord

patronized the New York company &C
cord it the highest praise, not alone for
the excellence of the food, but for the
reduced cost as compared with the ex-

reduced expense In as perfect a state as
