A Generous Farmer.

Rev. Smith Baker, of Lowell, Mass,
formerly of Maine while in Saco told
of an experience he once had while
holding n pastorate near Bangor. There
was a we'll to do farmer who lived ON
the opposite bank of the Penobscot
from Mr.. Bakers residence who one
spring, whenthe ice on the river was
breaking up, lost a daughter. Mr..
Baker was asked to officiate at the fu-
neral, which he did, being obliged to
hire a horsle and carriage to make the
journey, the nearest bridge being some
distance up the river. Nothing was
said about paying him either for his
services or his expenses.
A little while afterward another death
occurred in the family. Mr.. Baker was
again asked to conduct the services,
which he did, this time hiring a man to
row him across the river, and again
with no mention of compensation The
next spring the farmers mother passed
away Mr.. Baker was obliged to make
the journey as he did the first time by
carriage. This time the farmer went to
Mr.. Baker and said: ''Mr Baker, you
have been very kind to come over
here to conduct these funerals al
at such an expense to you, and fee
that 1t is asking altogether too much
want to pay you something. So next
fall, when the apples are ripe. you drive
around and you can help yourself from
my orchard. Lewiston Journal

A FLOATING ISLAND.
Vermont Possesses oae OF the World.s
Great ourtosltiea.

Vermont Possesses oae OF the worlds
Great ouriosities.
The floating island in Sadawga Lake,
IN the town of whitingham, Vt, Is ono
OF the most remarkable freaks OF nature
and one OF the greatest curlosities In
the world.
The island contains over . hundred
acres, and 1t actually floats upon the
top of the water. There Is no doubt
about It It is not attached 10 the main
land on any part Of the lake. One can
pass entirely around IL In a boat.
The fact that IL really floats ON the
water was made evident last year. At
that time stone dam was built at the
outlet OF the lake over six feet high,
which raised the water little more
than six feet. When the gates were
shut. and the water for the first time
began 20 rise in the lake, there was
great curiosity to see whether the island
would be submerged or rise with the
water. Ittook about fSrty-eight hours
for the water In the lake 70 rise 10 the
top OF the dam, and IL was then dis
covered that the island presented ex-
Actly the same appearance that it did
when the water was six feet lower
There Is no part OF the island that has
ever been more than two or three feet
above the surface OF the water. There
fore II il did not float whom the lake
was raised six feet by this new dam, it
wsuld have been entirely submerged.
Since the water was raised this great
mass OF land has fioated about more
readily than IL previously did. Portions
of it, containing from one to three acres,
have been broken away from the main
island. and go swimming around inde-
pendently. There 30 four such pieces.
Three OF them are close together. and
already Atty or sixty rods to the north
east OF the main island. Sometimes they
are Ave or six rods apart Then again
they will be all in cluster the smaller
,nes boating around faster than the
larger ones, as the wind carries them
more easily.
i The great main island. which con-
tains over lo1 acres, moves about slow.
Ily. The prevailing winds are from the
south and west, and after IL has blown
hard for day or two the main island Is
found 70 have changed its position sew,
eral rods Some times il will be nea,
the east shore. and then again IL moves
over toward the west. IL never has
come nearer than quarter of a mile oi
the north shore.
There is a small forest Of tamaracl
trees growing upon this remarkable
island Some of them are more thar
twenty-five feet high. They are in {
khrifty condition and are of large size Al

kind are rapidly growing up beside
them. The wonder is how the roots o.
these trees are nourished The lake Ii

there is vegetable matter enough in the
water to keep the trees in healthy

why the Trains wait.

1t has probably puzzled many trav-
eler, who fitting impatiently in a train
has waited for the draw of bridge to
close which has been opened to allow
some snaillike boat TO creep up the
current, why the rapidly moving train
was not given the precedence, as it
could swiftly hurry away. 1t is not
due to the excuse that the boat cannot
hold itself against the stream, for il
can and does do this frequently. It is
simply the application of the old com
mon law principle of easement. The
boats had the use of navigable streams
long before railroads were invented,
and when the latter bridged rivers they
did so subject to the formers interest
therein, and for this reason railroad
trains are today obliged to stand back
while the boats pass ahead All mod
ern conditions would indicate that the
locomotive should have precedence ot
/, the steamer, and the fact that it doe
not shows the tenacious grip of custom

Suggestions for a Marine barometer.

Suggestions for a Marine Barometer.
A suggestion for bettering weather
predictions has been made by Capt.
seaman During January, 1890, when
terrific gales burst upon the British
Islands, he finds that barometers at
London gave no reliable fnonitions Of
these disastrous cyclones. His own
Idea Is that the atmospheric power of
rising or depressing the mercury in a
barometer Is affected by the amount OF
electricity la the air at the moment,
and that TO have strict, reliable weather
glasses we require electric tests of the
conditions OF the atmosphere attached
to them"
II may be true, as Capt Fox has sup
posed, that electricity has am effect ON
the oscillations of the mercury in the
glass. During the passage of an elec-
tric storm over a station the mercury,
for reasons never fully explained, al
most invariably rises or falls very rap
idly, though 1t often returns to It's pre-
vious level when the storm Is past.
There Is little doubt that the electrical
state of clouds, ms Lord Rayleigh has
shown, determines their precipitation,
and the down rush of rain. always ae
companied by a down rush of air, will
tend TO sustain or elevate the mercury
-an effect likely 10 be intensified when
the descending air Is filed with the
smoke and dust arising over a great city
When, therefore, a great storm Is ap
proachlng, and clouds in its front ar
In that electrical condition which IA
vors heavy and prolonged precipita
tlon from them, the effect may yer,
naturally account for the barometri'
phenomenon noted by Capt Fox. A
all events, the series of experiment
which he proposes could not fail q
throw new and valuable light upon tn
degree of reliance to be placed upoi
the weather glass. IL the invention o
a reliable marine barometer should b
the result of such experiments it woul'
be the means of saving thousands o
lives and ships from the ocean cyclone

Book agents follow the motto, when
everything else fails try curiosity" and
It usually wins. An old farmer south
of this city, who has thrown book
agents over the fence, allowed his Gu

gentleman came up to the gate some
thing went wrong with the wheel and
he stopped to fix it. The old farmer

latter. When the name was well in
