Purfce stone.

Pumice is of volcanic origin, being a
trachytic lava which has been rendered
light by the escape of gases when in a
molten state. 1t is found on most of the
shores of the Tyrrhersan sea and else
where, but is at present almost exclusively
obtained from the little island of Lipari
Most of the Volcanoes of Lipari have
elected pumaceous rocks. but the best
stone is all the product of one mountain,
Monte Chirica, nearly 1900 feet in height,
with its two accessory craters. The dis
trict in which the pumice is excavated
covers an area of three square miles. 1t
has been calculated that about LOCO hands
are engaged in this industry, 600 of whom
are employed in extracting the mineral.
Fumice Is brought to the surface in large
blocks or IN baskets. and Is carried thus
either to the neghboring village or to the
seashohre, to be taken there In boats, The
supply is said TO be practically inexhaus-
tible. Pumice Is used not merely for
securing and cleansing purposes but also
for polishing in numerous trades, hence
the fact that the powdered pumice ex-
ported exceeds In weight the block
pumice. Between twenty and thirty mer-
chants are engaged in the pumiee trade

THE CAMPAIGN.
Speakers Who Are Coming to This County

Abundant Literatur e.

1t is probable that after the Republican
First District Convention in this city to :
morrow there will be lull in the spea k
ing for several days, the campaign not
having fully opened. Senator Henry
Cabor Lodge, of Massachusetts, will be
able to deliver one speech in Maine,
either on the oath or a6 of August. He
seems quite likely to speak in Portland.
Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath, of Augusta,
will come into Cumberland county,
speaking at Yarmouth, September 9th.
He will also probably speak some in
York county.
Hon. Jonathan P. Dolliver, of Iowa,
will also come to Maine for several
speeches.
Hon. e. Dudley Freeman, member of
the State committee for cumberland
county, has received from the national
committee, ana has at his office in the
First National Bank Building, large
amount of valuable campaign litera ture
Nearly, if not all Of it bears upon the
silver question. The little book entitled
"Bullion vs.. Coin" is one of these doc
uments MoCleary speech is another.
These documents Mr.. Freoman is send
ing out as they are called for, and is dis

ssssIt is possible that Harold Sewall, son
of Arthur Sewall, will make several
speeches for the Republicans and will
probably bo heard in this county.
