In an apparently solid ledge near
Heechiand' in the town of Franklin. is
hole six or seven inches in diameter
ana about two feet deep. Ii is known
as the diamond hole" the name orig
rating from a legend that diamonds
nad been taken from it. But the most
remarkable thing about this hole is
that 1t is full of water, and if bailed
out will speedily fill again. 1t has
puzzled natives and geologists to tell
where the water comes from.
The following predictions respecting
the elections by the Grand Lodge of
odd Fellows at Portland. Tuesday are
found in the Portland Press: A. N. T.
iovejoy of Augusta, will doubtless be
elected Grand Master He has served
one year as Deputy Grand Master. and
one as Grand Warden. A. L. s. Per-
sins of Norway. will be Deputy Grand
Master The efficient secretary
Joshua Davis, and treasurer. w. f.
Plummer, will doubtless be reelected
The contest will come on the selection
Of Grand Warden. There are two
candidates, Albro E. Chase of Portland,
and G. Q. Small of Madison A matter
mat will come before the Grand Lodge
On which there will be lively fight is
the proposition to change the terms of
elected officers from a year to six
months. as was formerly the rule. 1t
Is claimed by those eager for the
change that there is more interest ex-
cited IN the encampments and lodges
when the shorter term prevails, and it
IS vastly for the good of the order.
Still another matter on which there is
4 probability of contest is the propo-
siuon to require district deputy to act
as installing officer instead of the re-
tiring noble grand. If this proposition
IS made law it will require a COM
aiete change in the locations of district
deputies. AT the session of the Grand
Encampment Horatio X. Colesworthy
of Portland, will probably be elected

Commander Tanners Address Before
the National Geographic Society.
Commander Tanner, U. S. N, entertained
a large and appraciatiye audience at Met
zerott Hall last night with a lecture de-
livered before the National Geographic So
ciety. He described a trip made in the
fish commission steamer Albatross from
Norfolk to San Francisco by the Straits Of
Magellan in 1887. 1t was a scientific ex-
petition undertaken to make deep sea
soundings and examinations of the fish
and coral formations of the great deep.
Commander Tanners lecture was Illus
trated by number of Photographic views
thrown upon a canvas by the stereopticon
The first picture was of the apparatus for
taking deep sea soundings. In this work
the line used is string OF piano wire,
the finest steel wire used in making pianos.
1t is paid off of a drum and has a weight
attached to the erd of it to sink it. When
bottom is reached the weight is detached
and left at tho bottom of the sea- The
apparatus is located in the stern of the
ship on frame work extending over the
taffrail and is operated in all kinds Of
weather.
Views were also shown of the interior of
the Albatross, the laboratories where the
scientists and naturalsts worked and the
machinery for hosting and hauling nets
A photograph was exhibited of the troll
| nets sccoping up fish while the ship was
under way and of the finny treasures of
! the deep being afterward emptied upon the
deck. The method of dragging the bottom
OF the ocean in places where there is
rocky formation shown. bundle Of
rope looking like a collection of swabs is
| lowered overheard by cable and dragged
along the bottom of the sea, entangling in
its strings whatever may be growing there.
When this is hosted on board the natur-
alists crowd around and examine the mass
hat I,a
found.
The lecturer exhibited number of views
OF South American ports visited by the
Albatross on her cruise and some pictures
of the Golden Gate and Earbor of San
Francisco. The last picture shown upon
the canvas was of the A1batross at anchor
in San Francisco, where Commander Tan
ner ended the expedition and dismissed the
audience.
