Leaving the cemetery. we wander under
the shade of the sycamore, pecan ana 9TH
err trees and presently find ourselves upon
the banks of the st. Mary's, gazing across
the marshes to the woods beyond AS the
tide flows In gently from the not far-dis-
tant Atlantic, and the tender charm of the
woods. the sea and the sky is upon us.
Sydney Lanier's words recur to us:
How. ample the march, and the sea. and
the sky:
A league, and league of marsh grass
waist high, broad I'm the blade.
Green, and all OF a hight.
And unlocked with a light or a shade,
Stretch leisurely off in a pleasant plain
To the terminal blue Of the main"
over the marsh, on the west rises Roses
blum, presenting a lovely picture In the
afternoons glow, with its white sides
cleaning against it's setting of dark green
pines, and the silver thread Of the river
at its feet. Eastward the town of Fer
nandina is sharply outlined against the
sky and little to the left is run the
southern point of Cumberland Island, with
its grand beach, fine hunting and bathing
facilities and last, but not least, beauti-
fur. historic Dungeness.
Owing to the peculiar environments OF
st. Mary's, its isolation and freedom from
change, we may find among its inhabi-
tants varied and interesting types of hui
man nature. Among them are a few. who
in more afiiuent days, belonged to the
aristocracy of the old south, and who
cannot quite forgive the present genera
Difference. There seems to be no place
for them in the present order OF things
they live in dreams of the past, and seem
bewildered by the changes the years have
wrought.
Others have quietly adapted themselves
to changed conditions, and have gone
bravely TO work, but the spirit Of con-
servatism, so prevalent in the south, is
very perceptible In st. Mary's, and her
people, while anxious to see the tide Of
progress turned hither, are slow to seize
opportunities, or adopt innovations
The municipal government OF the town
Is a unique one I'm several particulars.
The mayor and aldermen are not elected
by the citizens, but are appointed by the
governor-a law having been passed TO
that effect. Another unusual thing is
that none of the officials receive any sal
airy.
The healthfulness and charm OF the
quiet old town are being realized and ap-
precated more and more by the northern
people, and the number of tourists is
larger this winter than ever.
In summer 1t Is, as Of yore, place
of refuge for those nearer home, who
are seeking rest and health and find both
in its lovely climate and fresh, cool sea
breezes

THE TALLEsT MAN IN MAINE.
He Measures Six Feet Ten, and il
Proud of IL.

From the Lewiston CAie) Journal.
The tallest man in the state OF Maine
rides bicycle! He's also general repairer
of bicycles for the village OF Phillips. These
two facts may not especially belong to-
gether, but they Immediately answer a
vague question that arises In the mind OF
the reader IF the bicycle gets discouraged
at any time, Names champion tall wheel
man can do his own doctoring.
Mr. w. II. Kelley Of Phillips is a modest
man. Although ne has many accomplish
ments and I'm his character of head surgeon
Of the village repair shop can mend any
thing from watch TO a jigger wagon, he
doesn't boast OF his requirements But as
to his hight he feels that he can safely lay
claim 70 being the champion giant of
Maine. Many tall men have come and seen
and braced shoulders and ohalked with
him on his shop door until the scratches
of the intertangled lines look like a SPIDER
web. But lofty above them all Is the
scratchmark Of the towering man of the
house
He never yet has had to look up TO gaze
into the eyes of a man standing on his le-
vel except once, when the circus brought
a giant 10 town. The giant heard that there
was citizen outside who. was taller than
he. so, by his request, Mr.. Kelley was pass
ed In. The circus giant stood on the want
age ground of an ascending slope, he Wore
bearskin cap, high-heeled shoes, and had
his shoulders padded deliberately. But
even under the disguise the bystanders
could see that he was not fair match for
the local giant, had he stripped off his
plumage and come down off his perch
on the embankment.
Mr. Kelley. dressed for the street, meas
ures from the ground to the top of his head
. feet 10 inches-as near feet as any man
in Maine has ever grown He is symme-
trical, too, weighing considerably over 200
pounds, yet without any superfiuous flesh.
Mr. Kelley Is a muscular man, and some
feats OF strength that he has performed
surprised even his townsmen. At a lifting
match not long ago the weight was a stone
post weighing 225 pounds. Several alleged
strong men tackled It and wriggled ID
along few feet at a hitch. Mr.. Kelley
grasped the iron link affixed to the post
and walked nearly 200 feet with the weight,
finally tossing IL a considerable distance.
Il could have carried II further" saide he
but thought twas far enough for a
sample"
He is an expert wheelman, and takes
much pleasure in riding. He has supplied
his bicycle with an extra long upright and
his length of limb is nicely accommodated.
Mr. Kelley has a wife who is rather be-
low the average hight and two bright lit
tie children, one boy who claims proud
~ that some day he is "going to grow to
be as large as his papa"

A MAINE WOODS IDYLL.
with n 'Bangy' and n Big Bull Moose
Mt the End of 1t,

The scene is laid in the Maine woods
near the source of the Penobscot river
which winds like a silver thread through
the dark forests of pine, whose twining
branches and dense thickets serve as
cover for the lordly moose and timid deer
1t is sunset time on a bright October
afternoon, and the great fiery orb is sink
ing slowly to rest in a bank of clouds
gliding them with colors that the old mas
tiers loved so well. Long, slant shadows
are thrown on the ground. and here and
there along the bank of the river a bunch
of poplar or maple trees in all the glory
Of their autumnal dress, stand out in
sharp relief against the dark, perennial
green of the pines.
Suddenly the silence, which hitherto has
been disturbed only by the wind sinking
to rest among the whispering pines, is
broken by a sharp, cracking sound and
a moment later the king of the woods, a
bull moose steps out on the rivers bank
and with arched crest sends a note Of de-
fiance down the wind. No answering note
being forthcoming, his lordshp leisurely
starts to cropping the verdure along the
shore. What need has he to fear? Is he
not monarch Of all he surveys? His home
is a wilderness seldom visited by man. and
the animal life about him yields to his
superior size and strength the scepter of
supreme authority.
How could a moose know that a few
hundred yards away, seated in a canoe,
the best rifle shot of the south, from far
away Savannah, is drifting toward him
with the stream.
So quietly goes the canoe, and so gently
ii rests upon the water that the lily pads
bend before 1t and give no sound as il
sweeps by. Nearer and nearer comes the
canoe, and at last II rounds the bend
Scarce fifty yards separate the moose and
the hunter. But tell-tale gust of wind
has carried the warning to those great
nostrils, which are possessed of the Keen
est power of scent. Alarmed, the moose
springs from out the stream, and makes
for the thicket. But the hunters eye is
keen, and the hands that hold the rifle
steady. Many a time and oft those
same eyes and hands have pulled victory
out of what seemed certain defeat by a
timely bullseye at a thousand yards
The rifle cracks, and before the reVer-
berations cease the moose staggers and
falls; he is on his feet again in mo-
ment every nerve and muscle strained
to obtain the shelter of the woods. But
ii Is too late. Two more shots ring out
in rapid succession, and the leaden mes
sengers have found their billet-the moose
lies dead. And grand fellow he is, weigh
ing over 100 pounds.
His head mounted by a clever taxerder-
mist arrived in Savannah last week and
ornaments DR.. f. Chaeatham Wilson's of
fee on Jones street. 1t Is a magnificent
specimen, measuring over three feet from
the neck to the nostrtls, with fine pair
of five-prong antlers. DR.. Wilson has been
the recipient Of many congratulations on
his luck as a sportsman in the Maine
woods.

A THOUGHT PHOTOGRAPHED.
Mr.. IngIes Rogers Says He Has Sue
ceeded i'm PhOtOgraphing His
Thoughts.
rom the Philadelphia Press,

From the Philadelphia Press.
London, March 2.-Science is still divid-
ed with angry international disputes over
the lions share of attention. Professor. j.
J. Thomson. of Cambridge, discovers that
when the Roentgen rays pass through any
substance, even those commonly used in
insulators. they render 1t conductor of
electricity. Thomson's theory is that this
property of rays of converting insulators
into conductors of electricity is due to a
kind of electrolysis, the rays breaking up
the molecules of the non-conductor and
acting the part of a solvent in an electro
lytic solution.
To-day's Telegraph says: "One of the
ambitions of the new electrography was
to reproduce the living human brain in
black and white, but Mr.. Ingles Rogers
has bettered this. He declares he has sue
ceeded in photographing his thoughts upon
a negative plate in earlier experiments. A
few moments of intent gazing through a
dark camera in a darkened room resulted
in the subsequent development of two
white marks. representing the pupils Of
the eyes, which impressed themselves on
the film. In a later effort close thinking on
the face of a child who had died resulted
in this disc being found to contain sha-
dowy representation of the features, of
which there was no other record in exis-

MENELEK H., KING OF ABYssINIA.
The Monarch Who Refuses to BE
protected" by Italy.

Menelik II, Emperor of Shoa and Abys-
sinia, King of Kings in all Africa and
monarch of Ethiopia, is the man who is
causing all the trouble to Italy by not
allowing that country to protect" him.
Menelik has an idea that he is thorough
ly capable of protecting himself and pro-
poses to do it on his own ground rather
than trade off all his real estate for pro
lection of the European kind. This great
ruler is, perhaps, the most interesting
monarch in all the world. He claims to
be a line descendant of the famous Queen
of Sheba and that his realms are the
famous Ophir of the scriptures. What
ever value may be in that claim it is
true that Menelik has the old-time idea
Of how to be a king. He has been able
to teach a great European power a lesson
which it will never forget: He has caused
all the big ministers of state and 20
tentates in Europe to open their eyes
very wide and to realize that in him

University Extension Lectures.

Tn" third lecture OF the University Exteu
sion series on the poets OF The nineteenth
century was delivered at Odd Fellows hall.
on Monday night by Stockton Axson, NJ. A.,
his subject being the life and works of
Shelley Prof ANson's analysis Of the liter
nry merits of TIE poet Was scholarly and
instructive. He thought Shelley was not
more generally read and admired on account
of the supposed obscurity OF his writings.
although the same objection could be more
iorcibly brought against Browning, whose
obscurty was that OF treatment while Shell
ley's was rather that OF idea or substance. He
placed a very high estimate upon Sheeys
power of sustained poetic effort. He spoke
at some length of the Influence of William
Godwins ratlonalistic ideas and pnblica-
tions on Shelley's highly imaginative and
purely poetic temperament, and woye Il brie,
but fascinating story OF Shelley's devotion to
Mary Goodwin, in whom he professed to find
the affinity he found deficient in Harriet
Westbrook. The subject of Mr.. Axson' s next
lectrc will be the life and art of Browning.
Before this lecture he suggested the reading
OF the following poems OF Browning, FRA
Lippo Iippi," Andrea Del Sarto,' NV
Last Duchess" "Childe Rowland to the Dark
Tower Came,' and IAN Italian in England
