the ANNEXATION MATTER.
a Communication from the Deerlne
SeIectnen.

This communication has been received:
To. the Editor of the Press:
We, the Selectmen of Deering, crave por-
ton of your space to correct the misstate-
ments of Messrs. Sparrow and Hopkins. CON-
tanned in the issue of the Portland Express
of the 18th instant The statement of your
correspondents that Messrs. Clark and Lea
witt agreed to call the meeting to vote upon
the subject of annexation exactly as the Pc
tition was worded. is false. The chairman
of the selectmen's reply to Messrs. Sparrow
and Hopkins on Friday last was this-We
will consider your request and call meet
ing. The petitioners made no statement to
the selectmen that anyone would be disfran-
chised If their date for the meeting should
not be accepted. In fact, 1t is well known
throughout the town of Deering that the an
nexationists deliberately chose the busiest
season of the year for the meeting, for the
very purpose of DISTINGUISHING as many anti
annexationists as possible. The selectmen
have only endeavored to convene the whole
public by deferring the meeting until the
Goth. All they have had in view has been to
have the fullest and fairest expression posi-
ble,upon the subject of annexation.

Why Rats Teeth CROW contInu ally

-
Certain animals have teeth which grow
during all their lives. The rat and the SPUR.
rel are examples of this. Our own teeth are
developed from pulps, which are absorbed
and disappear after the teeth are grown, but
in rats tooth the pulp is perpetual, and is
continually secreting material by which the
incisor gains length. Therefore the animal
is obliged to gnaw all the time to keep the
teeth ground down to the proper length. 1t
Is commonly imagined that the rat keeps
gnawing from pure cussedness, but such is
not the case. Sometimes it happens that the
beasts upper and lower incisors do not meet
properly, so that 1t is unable to gnaw, and its
teeth keep growing around in spiral. Cases
have been known where a rats tooth grew
In this manner through its skull SO
as to pierce the brain and kill the unfortun-
ate. The biggest teeth know of are those
OF the mastodon, which we have In the shape
Of fossils. One advantage about teeth is that
they are harder than almost anything else i'm
nature and will last longer, so that they NAV
be picked up in an excellent state of preser-
walton ages after the animals to which thew
originally belonged are dead.-[Interyiew il,
