The State of Maine has such high

more fresh Maine cream in glass jars
than the widest dream of a Maine

PROBABLY SUICIDE.
Body Of Gustavus York found Float
ing in the Kennebec River.
No indications Of Any Violence Funeral will
30 Held. Friday.

The remains of Gustavus York, who
so mysteriously disappeared, a week
ago Saturday night, We're found, Thurs
day, in the Kennebec river. There arc
no indications of any foul play, the re-
mains having been carefully examined
by Drs. BriciSett and Frederick and
no traces of violence discovered.
The body was seen, shortly before 4
O'Clock P. NJ, floating in the river OPP
posite the post office, by one of the pos
tai clerks. a boat was at once secured,
and With much difficulty, as the craft
leaked badly. the body was recovered
and taken ashore, a few hundred
yards down the bank. 1t was dis
covered close in on the west shore
which confirms the theory that he
either fell over, board, or else committed
suicide, either near the dam, or else in
Bond brook; in which of these places,
nothing seems to present itself to de-
termine. His having stated that he
might, some day, drown himself in
Bond brook, where his son was
drowned. leads some to think that it
was there that he was drowned. Others
place no credence in that, but think
that he either threw himself. or fell in
just above the dam. He was accus-
toned to reach his home by walk
which led over the hill near the bank
of the river. and it is not unlikely that
in his unsteady condition. he may have
fallen down into the river
When the remains We're discovered,
Marshal Morse and Coroner William
II. Libby repaired to the scene, the
latter pronouncing an inquest unneces-
sary. The body was conveyed to the
store of Trouant & Bates, undertakers,
who gave it the necessary attention.
The funeral will be held at ST. Au-
sustine's chapel, Friday. at o'clock
A. NJ, under the direction of the So
ciety of st. John the Baptist.
The wife. and six children have the
deepest sympathies of all. 1t is UNI
derstood that the deceased left practi-
caliy nothing. but the family will re-
ceive some help from the French citi-
zens of Augusta.

MOUNTAINS OF MAN!CALAND.
! Part Of South Africa That May BE Com
pared With Switzerland.

Two hundred miles north northeast Of
Basutoland the great kathlamba range
rises in very bold slopes from the coast
levels behind Delagoa bay, and the scenery
of the valleys and passes is said to be OK
tremely grand. Knowing it, however, only
by report, | will not venture to describe it.
Nearly 800 miles still farther to the north,
in the district called Manicaland is u
third mountain region, less lofty than
Basutoland, but deriving singular charm
from the dignity and variety of its noun
tain forms.
The whole country is so elevated that
SUBMITS of 1000 or even 5000 feet do not
produce any greater effect upon the eye
than does Ben Lomond as seen from Loeb
Lomond or Mount Washington from tho
Glen House. But there is boldness
of line about these granite peaks compar-
able to those of the west coast of Norway
or of the finest parts of tho Swiss Alps.
Some of them rise in smooth shafts OF APP
parently inaccessible rock. Others form
long ridges of pinnacles Of every kind of
shape, specially striking when they stand
out against the brilliantly clear morning
or evening sky. The valleys are we'll
wooded, the lower slopes covered with
hcrbagc, so the effect of these wild peaks
is heightened by the softness of the sur
roundings which they dominate, while at
the same time the whole landscape be-
comes more complex and more noble by
the minglng of such diverse elements.
No SCENERY better deserves the name Of
romantic. And even in the tanner parts,
whore instead of mountains there are only
low hills, or 'kopjes." as they are called
in South Africa, the comparatively friablc
rock of these hills decomposes under the
influence of the weather into curiously
picturesque and fantastic forms, with
crags riven to their base and detached pill
lars supporting loose blocks and tabular
masses, among or upon which tho timid
Mashonas have built their huts in the hope
of escaping the raids of their warliko enc
mics, the atabeles.-Professor James
Bryce, NJ. p, in Century.

sleeves and are equipped with draw
strings at neck and belt. They are
serviceable garments when worn as
rubber coat, giving protection from the
rain and allowing the soldier free use
Of his arms in handling his weapon.
This Austrian idea is favored by the
war department officials, and it may be
that this combination article, or some
thing akin to it, will be adopted for our
service. It seems to be even better than
the idea Of Capt. Rice, although that
officers suggestion is more economical,
in that it contemplates no change in the
present shape or style of our shelter
tents.
The matter of military equipment in
the last year has engaged the atten-
ton of the officers of the war depart
ment, especially those interested in
the furnishing of supplies to the armed
forces. Our military attaches abroad
have been very industrious in observ-
ing the novelties of the European serv-
ices and have been prompt to send to
the military information division in the
war department samples of the new
devices in use abroad. Many of these
have been practically tested in our serv.
ice. Among other devices has been an
aluminium horseshoe. This, of course.
is much lighter than the iron horse
shoe in use and is found to be quite as
serviceable. A cavalry officer sta
toned at San Carlos, Ariz., kept an
aluminium shoe on his horse for As days.
Shoes OF this material are, of course, ex-
pensive, and the present cost is beyond
the means of the department for their
adoption for the service, but it is rec
commended that an aluminium horse
shoe be furnished the cavalry,nan as
the extra shoe which he carries in his
saddlebag. At present this aluminium
horseshoe costs about so cents.
The officers have been interested also
in new German canteen of aluminium.
of 6atter shape than our canteen,
which allows it to rest the better at the
side. 1t has been found that water will
keep for six months in these aluminium
canteens, while the ordinary tin ones
are quickly rusted. The meat-ration
can. referred to already as combined
cooking utensil and plate, weighs less
than half the tinned-iron can at present
in use. Another article in use abroad
is very light weight nosebag for
horses. Still another is an asbestos
shield to fix in the hole in the tent as
protection against fire from contact
with the stove pipe.

UNIQUE SHELTER TENT.
When Dea,rod Soldiers Can Con.
vert 1t Into a Cape.
Novelties for Army Use In Europe and
the Uuitei States Horseshoes Made
Of Aluminium Canteens of
Improved Pattern.

Army officers are greatly interested
in new utilization of the shelter tent,
which is carried by the soldier in the
field. At present this shelter tent is
made Of very unsatisfactory material
and is by no means waterproof. 1t is
of no other use than as shelter tent,
and Beyond that is an incumbrance to
the soldier, adding to his burdens on the
march by about three pounds.
Capt. Edmund Rice, of the Fifth in
fantry, stationed at Fort Mcpherson,
Georgia, has made suggestion which,
according to the New York Times,
meets with considerable approval
among military experts. He proposes
to make of the shelter tent a cape which
may be worn by the soldier in inclemetit
weather. This use of the present tent
may be readily acquired by simple
straps which will fasten the cape about
the neck and waist. The double use of
the shelter tent will be appreciated by
the trooper and is in the line of modern
military equipment, the idea being now
to economic in the number as in the
weight of articles carried by the soldier,
and to make each article do as much
service as possible. In some of the
services the ration can, for instance,
when separated, furnishes the cooking
utensils of the soldier. The meat ration
can of the foreign army, when taken
apart, supplies frying pan and plate.
One of the most interesting of foreign
military novelties lately received at the
military information division is device
in the same line as that of Capt. Rice's
rape-shelter tent. 1t is a shelter-coat
tent used in the Austrian army. Two of
these coats can be fastened together,
and, with the bayonet of rifle as center
pole, furnish waterproof shelter for
two men. The separate coats are of
| finely woven waterproof material, and
in that respect are much better than
the so-called shelter-tent< material of
the United States army. These Aus
trian coats weigh two and half
pounds, or six ounces more than our
shelter tent. The coats are fitted with

through ring riveted in the seam Of tho

through ring riveted in the seam Of tho
scabbard, 1s inches from the lower end,
and is fastened to ring at the back
part Of the cantle.
When in position, with the trooper
mounted, the small part of the scab-
bard passes under the hollow of the leg
just below the knee, and thus, without
discomfort to the rider, the whole is
securely held in position, without an
noyance or fatigue from the constant
motion of the old method
The cavalry service has, from time to
time, experimental with various forms
of this scabbard, and it has always
found favor with the trooper in hard
service. 1t will doubtless be made a
rule that, on dismounting for any pur-
pose, the trooper at once remove the
carbne from the scabbard, so that,
when separated from his mount, he will
still be completely equipped and pre-
pared for any emergency.
With the passing of the carIipe boot,
one of the most picturesque, cumber-
some and oath-producing accoutre-
ments of the mounted arm of the serv-
ice will have gone out of existence. The
boot looked very business-like, as it was
carried slung down the side of the sad
die or from the shoulder of the fully
equipped cavalry man, but to those who

pumps, the inventor showed how he
could pump the gas from the balloon
back into the cyclinders. Some of the
gas was then burned as beacon light,
which could be seen for many miles
around. With this and q reflector, sig
nal flashes Gun be made, which would
be certain TO attract the attention of
passing vessels.
Following this, large tin kettle con-
tanning several gallons of salt water was
placed over one of the burners, and, in
this improvised still, the salt liquid was
converted into fresh, potable water.
When a quantity of water sufficient
for the days needs has thus been pro-
pared, the burners can be removed and
the balloon again inflated. With the
cylinders charged at high pressure, the
amount of gas consumed by burning
would be scarcely appreciable. If the
balloon is not required, 1t can be stored
away in a locker.
Another claim of the inventor Is, that
it can, by being launched from a sink
ing vessel, secure aid from shore before
life-saying crew, even though ready,
could shoot line aboard. Often, owing
to a strong wind directly off shore, the
life-savers are unable to place life
line SO that 1t can be of assistance.
