AUGUSTA LOCALS.
LEFT FOR 4 SWIM.
], ". Mitchell Left His Office Wednesday Tor a
Bath-conciusive Testimony.

There is hardly any reasonable doubt as
to the drowning of Secretary j. W. Mitch
ell of the Peoples Prohibitory Enforce
ment League of Maine.
1t appears that he expected to leave on the
afternoon express Wednesday for East Sur
rev, about nine miles from Ellsworth where
he was to lecture the next day on his work
Miss Morrill,, his clerk, was hard at work
getting some papers ready for his depar-
ture. Shortly after o'clock Mr.. Mitchell
came in, hot and flushed, from his hurried
walk down town after his dinner. He told
the young lady that he was going out for a
swim before leaving the city He said he
would be back in time for the train and for
her to be sure to have the papers ready in
time for him to take the train. He then
left presumably for the river.
When train time came Mr.. Mitchell did
not appear Finally when 6 o'clock came
Miss Morrill, became alarmed and went to
Rev. c. S. Cummings, who had known Mr..
Mitchell well when they were both in Rock
land. Mr.. Cummings sent man down the
river bank, but the latter could find no
traces, probably on account of the dark
ness. 1t was then concluded that Mr..
Mitchell had been delayed and had taken
the early train without stopping at the
office.
Thursday morning an examination of Mr..
Mitchelfs papers was made and the address
of the person in East Surrey with whom he
had correspondent in regard to the arrange
ments for his lecture, was found. This was
Miss Julia A. Chatto Mr.. Cummings tel
egraphed her, asking where Mr.. Mitchell
was. She answered ale is nine miles
away. Shall send for him."
Mr.. Cummings answered: "If you are
sure he is there, do not send" The an
swer came from Ellsworth late Thursday
night and said John Mitchell has not
been here. Don't know anything about
him
Mr.. Cummings at once sent Tor MARSHAL
Crawford, not knowing that Mr. Michele
clothes had been found by that time.
All day Friday, Marshall Crawford and
a crew of rivermen under Jos. Nichols,
were at work graphing about the Mile rock
for Mr.. Mitchell's body. Saturday, Diver
Purnton of Brunswick will go to work.
j. W. Mitchell of Freedom, the father
of the missing man is In the city. His
wife, and daughter, Miss Maria Mitchell, a
teacher in Rockland, are almost prostrat-
ed by the shock. He has another son,
Adna J.. Mitchell, resident of North
Augusta.
Mr. Mitchell says that his son carried
from so 900 to Sl2, 900 life and accident
insurance.

Making Imitation Diamonds.

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced is called strass,
from the name of its inventor, a German
ieweler who hourished at the beginning
of the present century. 1t is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass, or rather
crystal, of irreproachable purity, COM
posed of rock crystal, or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead, arsenical acid
and other ingredients. Its preparation
demands infinite care and multitude
of precautions, to avoid the possibility
of the slightest flaw or bubble being
introduced into the mass, from which
are then cut the false gems in the pro-
portions desired. Small or medium
sized diamonds produce a much better
effect than do large ones.
For the best forms Of imitation jewel
ry they are cut by the same workmen
that are employed in executing that
function with real stones. Their task is
much easier, owing to the comparative
softness of strass, aquality which causes
ornaments in imitation diamonds to lose
very speedily their brilliancy and their
deceptive aspect. To remedy this state
of things imitation emeralds. rubies and
sapphires are often set WA n layer or
slice cut from real precious stone of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on the
top of the false gem. so as to cover ii

In the olden times in Japan all the dali
mics similar to the old English lorU had
great sport with falcons, as they went
out to the field to catch other birds with
falcons. The falcons We're tanned well
and used to catch large birds, mostly
cranes. When people now go out hunt
ing with falcons, the men in charge hold
the falcons upon their fingers. As soon
as one sees any bird he let's the falcon
rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon
reaches the bird he bites at the throat
and throws the bird down to the ground.
Meanwhile the holder runs to the place
where they are and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds, but as they
belong to the eagle family they are
strong and brave and never afraid to go
at any bird to kill it, but the men in
charge Of falcons of course take great
care in feeding and tanning them.-Chi-
cago News-Record.
