Among the most interesting natural phe-
nomena in the State of Maine are the ia
nous Underwood Springs near Casco Bay.
They get their name from their first Euro
pean owners. Dublin family; but Wey-
mouth, the early English explorer of the
Maine coast, first made them known to the
European scientific world. 1t was theory
of Descartes's that all springs have their
source in the ocean and are supplied by a
kind of capillary attraction; and this spring
revealed by Weymouth certainly seemed to
fit the curious theory very well. 1t poured
out then, as 1t pours out now, its quarter of
million gallons day, with no discoverable
source. Weymouth found the spring guard
ed by small tribe of Indians known as the
Sekokis. who maintained a permanent camp
around 1t, guarding it from their neighbor-
Ing foes, though they permitted him to fill
his casks with the pure water from their
priced fountain. He found mounds in the
vicinity, evidently of great antiquity, which
told OF earlier occupants of the region than
the decaying tribe then in possession. These
mounds are still to be seen. The Under
wood family, into whose possession the
springs came, were not as generous as the
Sekokis to Weymouth, attempting to levy a
tax on the English vessels coming to the
Casco Bay forests for cargoes of masts and
spars and seeking at the springs supplies Of
water for their homeward voyage-New

AT MorrilPs Corner, Deering. Sewall p.
Winslow has hullcorn establishment, and
yesterday morning he was arraigned before
Trial Justice Hopkins on complaint of the
board of health, charged with maintaining q
nuisance in that town. Isaac L. Elder of
this city appeared for the respondent, and
the executive officer of the board of health
for the state. Mr.. Winslow pleaded not
guilty.
1t appeared by the facts presented that the
corn-hulling is done in Mr.. Winslow's stable !;
that under the room used Is a large brick
vault in the cellar into which the waste mat
ter has been conducted for period of two
years without being emptied; that the board
six weeks ago ordered the proprietor to re-
move the contents and bury 1t in the earth !;
that instead he put 1t into the hog pen also
located in the stable cellar; that the board
then Instructed their executive officer to
order the removal of the contents of the hog
pen.
Mr.. Elder contended that the people of
DeeriDg are now for the first time being edu-
Gated In sanitary matters. and If his client be
given few days time he would clear his
premises so no further complaints could be
made, whereupon the judge continued the
case week with the admonition that If the
respondent removed in the meantime the
matter complained of, In manner satisfac.
tory to the health board, the costs of the suit
only would be imposed, otherwise he would
