J.J. Van Allen, Mr.. Cleveland's minister
to Italy, was in Lewiston yesterday look
ing for crack horses. He was accom-
panied by Bishop, the horse buyer, and
his coachman. The horses are to be
taken to Italy. Mr.Van Allen dined at
the Dewitt. After dinner he sauntered
out to the Office and boughta cigar. This
he cut on the little end and placing the
large end in his mouth lighted it. Then
placing the lighted end in the opening
of a pretty little Der cigar holder he
lighted the other end and then com
menced to smoke both ends at once. The
light on the little end didn't burn very
fast though. He wore eye glasses and
had closely cropped full beard. He

State Detective Hartman of Bangor,
has returned from a trip along the
Canadian Pacific railroad line in Maine
after poachers. He was successful in
securing evidence which will force
number of them to settle for their illegal
work. During his trip he was obliged to
take.an eighteen mile walk from Onawa
to BrownviIle, on the railroad track in a
storm, part of the time driving snow,
and the rest pouring rain, with no pro-
lection except ordinary clothing and i'm
peded by the carrying of rife. There
is great deal of deer-dogging done in
the eastern and northern sections of the
state Game Warden Prince of Lubec
has just been on raid in the extreme
eastern section after poachers He killed
many dogs and obtained sure evidence
against a numer of poachers, some of
these engaged in illegal killing being re-
ported as from Massachusetts, A party
of men from Boston went through Ban
gor week or more ago, with dogs,
bound for that section, and they are sup
posed to be among those implicated.
Large parties of men from Danforth
and its vicinity secured the woods in
that section all day Saturday and Sun
day, and Monday another party started
out in search of Cecil Garcelon of Dan
forth, who has mysteriously disappeared
He left home with his rifle last Wednes-
day, and since that time it is not known
that any one has seen him. He left a
wife and children at home, Saying he
was going after DEER The first nj hit
that he was absent there was a eavy
rain, and the bitter cold which followed
this adds to the fears of his friends as
much as anything. 1t is also said that
Garcelon had physical weakness that
was liable to overcome him at any time.

and it must be acknowledged that
there is some reason for doing SO. II
is well known how difficult it is TO
clean the silver or gold setting proper

Gid settings have the drawback Of re-
fecting their yellow color on the
stone, and to depreciate thereby the
water Of the stone. Another weighty
objection is that they lose the bright

Poiadns That Lark for Flax and Afssnoial
Flower Workers.
Very little is known of the danger
to life and health that exists ia many
occupations where women are largely
employed. In England . league has
been formed to- call attention 10 sthe
facts Of the case, and. Mrs. G, Mollet
has made extentive Investigations,
says the New York Sum-; n.
In the linen trade the fax has to be
left to soak in the water, and rheuma-
tism, bronchitis and pnenmonia seize
upon the women who have to deal
with it in this stage. In the fax-card-
ing. department the fine dnst Pro
duces lung disease and kills its
victims at thirty. In fur-cape max
ing the odor and the fine fluff are both
extremely injurious. A singular in
jury is caused to artificial flower max
ers. especially those employed in maxi
ing white flowers by gaslight. The
dry dust causes indamed eyelids, and
the work is SO trying that women are
worn out long before middle age. In
the china trade the clay dust settles
year by year in the lungs until con-
sumption results.
In the whitehead trade horrors are
found quite equal to those of the phos-
phorus match trade. Lead is in itself
highly poisonous, and the most dan
gerous part of the process of making
the ordinary blue pigs IF lead into the
deadly white carbonate is carried on
by women, because it requires less
muscular strength than the rest.
Cakes of lead are put to ferment in tan
and acetic acid for three months, and
then the cakes have to be grubbed out
of the mixture by hand, the poison
getting under the finger nails. After
being ground to powder under water
the dishes of damp lead have to be
placed in stove to dry for a fortnight.
The worst part is when these poor
women have to take away the dry, hot,
white carbonate of lead from the
stoves. Even the muf1ed heads, the
wooden respirators, the sack overails,
fail to keep out the deadly dust. They
rarely live many years; sometimes a
few weeks or months bring on the
symptoms of acute lead poisoning, to
which they. rapidly succumb. This
white carbonate of lead is used for
glazing china and enamel adj
vertisements. The only safeguard
would be in prohibiting the manufac-
t,,re, and it would be possible to do SO,
for various substitutes are in the
market. <

THE TABLES TURNED.

"A Would-Re VlvlsoctOr Operated On by
His Savage Allies.
One of the most curious expeditions
ever planned by man was that once
undertaken by DR.. J.. G.. Bunting, of
Portland, says the Lewiston (Me.)
journal. During all his life he had
been close student of the philosophy
Of digestion, and for the purpose Of
his Investigations he had that remark
able Canadian, Alexis ST.. Martin, in
his care for. twenty years. In order to
cinch matters and provide facts for
some of the doubling Tl,omases, DR..
Bunting cast about for some one else
upon whom he might continue to ex-
pertinent.
He could think of but one plan, and
that was to go to africa. buy two
slaves and operate upon their stom-
achs. BY opening the body near the
fifth rib and perforating the stomach
a condition could be produced similar
to that existing in the person Of ST.
Martin. Therefore the doctor pur-
chased his supplies and sailed across to
Tunis, in the north Of Africa. There
he hired a native chief with forty Of
his followers, paying then, a liberal
retaining fee and promising alluring
largess when the trip was ended. They
set forth The doctor carried ore
thousand pounds in his inside pocket
and the chief probably lay awake four
nights thinking about the matter: At
any rate, on the fifth night he sneaked
into the doctors tent and delivered 4
little address over the muzzles Of two
pistols. When he had concluded the
doctor passed over his ducats and the
chief passed over the border along
with his renegade band. They helped
themselves to such supplies as suited
their artless and nnenlightened tastes.
The doctor came back without a re-
tinue and with = deal Of experience
that viii never appear in medical
work.

The Wind PASSES Along the Oily Surface

Agreat deal has been written about
the influence Of oil on waves atfsea.
..nd 81 the prac tically useful action Of
oil In many cases there Is Abnndant
testimony, but little has been heard of
the reason for the results obtained,
says the Chicago Tribune. Expert
ments made IN shallow, broken water
on the coast, whore the wind and tide
sconficted, have shown that little or no
advantage can be traced from the use
Of oil under such conditions; that is to
say, the wave motion being disturbed
and under forces not wholly those Of
wind action, the oily Aim 1beco ONES
broken up. In deep water, however,
where the waves may be considered as
wholly formed by the wind, their forms
are more regular, and it is in such cir
cumstances that the recorded exam
pies show to the best effect. These eff
fects suggest the real action of the oil.
According to some theories the oil acts
as itdoes when applied to bearings in
machinery, and thus the wind glides
more easily over the oiled surface than
it does over the water surface. 1t is
difficult to see. however, that the fric-
tional resistance between air and oil
should be less than between air and
water, as the oil is a less mobile fluid
that the water. Again, when we con-
slider the surface tension of fluids, and
can often observe their restraining ac-
ton on ascending air bubbles or small
floating objects in glasses of water, we
might suppose that by the addition of
the film of oil sufficient resistance was
offered to the uprise of the upper part
of the wave, and thus the tendency to
break would be restrained. The ac-
ton of the film of oil is one of separa-
ton. When we consider the tendency
of air to become saturated with watery
vapor due to evapora ton End Of water
to retain air by absorption, we may
readily conceive that the impact of
air on watery surface will tend to
cause a commingling at the surface of
air and water which will thus offer
sufficient resistance to the motion of the
wind to throw the water and mixture in
to an undulatory movement and, there
fore, when this forward movement has
exceeded the speed due to the periodic
motion in the wave itself, the upper
part in falling forward from the effects
of the push of air from behind shows
a foaming rush of broken water; that
is, the air Incorporated with the water
and the water itself. Arguing on this
basis there is no difficulty in accepting
the theory that the film of oil spread
over the surface of the water effect
ually prevents the formation of broken
water; as the air and water are kept
separate the tendency to mutual alb
sorption at the surface is checked and
the wind passes along the oily surface
with reduced power of wave making.

INDUSTRY OF THE MOLE.
The Hard-Working Little Animal at Least

The Hard-Working Little Animal at Least
- Industrious rs the Ant.
"A mole's life istsby no means a gen
tlemanly sinecure, according to the
Cornhill Magazine. He has to work
harder, in all probability, for his pit
lance of earthworlns than any other
animal works for his daily bread. His
whole existence is spent in perpetu-
ally raising and removing large piles
of earth by sheer force OF muscle. In
order to sustain such constant toll and
to replace and repair the used-up it's
sue the mole requires to be always
eating. His appetite is voracions. He
works like horse and eats like an
elephant Throughout his waking
hours he Is engaged in pushing aside
earth and scurrying after worms in all
his galleries and tunnels. The labor
er, of course, is worthy Of his hire.
Such ceaseless activity can only be
kept up by equally ceaseless feeding,
and SO the mole's existence is one long
savage Attenuation Of labor and ban
quoting. aHis heart and lungs and
muscles are working at such rate
that if he goes without food for half
day ne starves and dies of actual in
anition. He is high pressure en-
CINE. His drinking is like his eating;
immoderate in all things he must have
his LIQUOR much and often. So he digs
many pits in his tunneled ground and
catches water in them TO supply his
needs at frequent intervals. He does
not believe, however, in the early
closing movement. Day and night
alike he drinks every few hours. for
day and night are all alike to him.
He works and rests by turn, after the
fashion of the navvies employed in
dig ging tunnels, or measures his time
by watches, as is the way Of sailors.
