Where snools Are Made.

oxford county, Me-, turns out nearly
all of the spools on which the thread of
this country is wound" said a wholesale
notion dealer. 1.-The spools are made
from white birch timber, and they are
produced by the million in Oxford coun-
ty. There are many other points in west
ern Maine, also, where the industry is
important. There are many sawmills in
that part of the state which are kept
busy the year around saving white birch
logs into strips four feet long and from
one to two inches wide and of the same
thickness.
"These strips are sent to the spool fac
tories, where they are quickly worked
into spoOls by most ingenious labor saw
ing machinery. The strips of white birch
are fed into one machine, and they are
not touched, in fact are hardly seen,
again until the spoOls, all finished fol
market except polishing, drop out by the
bushel from another machine several
rods away from where the strips started
in. The spools get their gloss by being
rapidly in barrels by machinery
the polish resulting from the contact o.
the spools in the barrel.
''In the backwOods villages of Oxford
county one sees scarcely any other in
dustry but spoOlmaking, and every on
is in some way interested in the business
The factories have been eating into tn
Maine birch forests for years, but ther
seems to be enough left yet to feed then
well for years to come. Hundreds o
thousands of feet of logs are cut AM
sawed into spool timber annually

The Light from cuban Firefiies.

The secret of the light the Cuban fire

Impure Ice and Typhoid Fever.

Some years ago DR.. Charles Smart, of
the United States army, traced the cause
of mountain fever to the melting snow
of the Rocky mountain streams, and in
ferred that the germs of this typho-ma-
larial fever were brought down from
the atmosphere by snow, remained fro
zen during winter, and then passed into
the streams in an active condition when
the snow melted in May, June and July.
1t is frequently the case that impure ice
is the agent of transmitting typhoid and
other fevers. Engineering Magazine.
