The. Quickest Place for Those Who

The daily newspaper is mirror of hu-

He will fnd the key of many life story.
The pendulum swings far in these little
advertisements, and tears and laughter

DEEPEST HOLE IN THE WORLD
Boring in Silesia Reaches a Depth Of
More Than a Mile

The deepest bore hole in the world iS
one of 6571 feet below the surface. Of the
soil, made at Parnschowitz, near Ry-
brick, upper Silesia. The previous rec
ord for depth was the 5733 foot hole drill
ed some years ago at Schladebach, near
Leipsic. The later bore hole was made
in search for coal measures and
leighty-three separate seams, some Of
considerable thickness were penetrated.
The hole was twelve inches in diameter
at the beginning, and this was lined
with tube, about four-tenthssof an inch
thick; at depth of 20 feet the bore was
reduced to eight and one-fourth inches
| in diameter, and thus continued for 351
| feet. At this point the blue mari en-
countered became so compact that the
diamond drill had to be used, and under
the action of the water the mari swelled
to such a degree that the diameter OF
the pipe had to be again reduced. The
greatest difficulty encountered was the
great weight of the boring rods as the
depth increased Though steel was used,
at depth of $3.50 feet the total weight Of
the tools reached 0,155 pounds.
Under this weight ruptures of the rod
were frequent, and an accident of this
nature finally stopped the work. About
4500 feet of rod fell to the bottom, and.
being jammed under part of the tub
ing, 1t was impossible to withdraw it.
The diameter of the well at the bottom
was two and three-fourths inches. Tenn
perature observations made showed IL
degrees Gen., or 56 degrees Fahrenheit.
at the surface, and, at the depth of 6571
fleet the temperature reached 60.S de-
grees Gen., or 157 degrees Fahrenheit.
The boring at Parnschowitz was COM
menced on March 26, 1892 and it reached
its maximum depth on May II, 1898, or
| in 800 working days. The total cost
was s1S.s00, or about. SO per lineal foot.

attention of the grand jury. That body

was not necessary for the defense to put

The Conversion of the MuItitude..

1t is sad fact that many pastors and
churches make he special efforts for the
conversion OF the muItitudes Of outsid-
ers IN every community who are not
members Of any church and who seldom
attend divine service. 1t is largely from
these, as well as from the young in the
congregations, that the churches must
look for accessions and for the full &C
compllshment of its mission in the
world. Some large congregations under
favorable circumstances can grow in
numbers without special efforts to reach
the unconverted outsiders, but most con-
gregations cannot add largely to their
numbers without special efforts and
methods for reaching the irreliglous
multitudes Lutheran Observer.

Comment by Rev. S. Ii. Doyle.

Toprc-"why / love Jesus ~ John ~, 10;
John fiji. I4l7 "a union meeting with the
Juniors suggested. to be led by the Junior su-
perintendent.l
There are no two passages in the Bible
more precious to Us than the ones before
us, "God so loved the world that he
gave His only begotten Son that whose
ever believeth in Him should not perish.
but have everlasting life, and its coun-
terpart, I'VE love Him because He first
loved us " Wonderful words Gods
love for us, our love for God, why we
love God-theOlogv, religion and phi
losophy all combined.
These verses answer the question Of
the topic. We love God. We love Christ,
because they first loved Us and manifest
ed their love IN such wonderful way
T. they did. 1t would have been impos-
slble for rs TO haze loyed Ged had we
not known that God was love and that
He did actually love US The idea Of
God usually suggests fear. Realizing that
by their sins they offend pure and holy
being, mon are naturally filed with
horror and dread at the thought or men
ton Of God. The idea has never inspired
love when II has not been known that
God was love The heather ignorant Of
this great fact cf religion fear their gods,
but de net leye them. When men know
that God loves and that He loves them
and manifested His love by sacrificing
Himself for them. then naturally love
springs up IN their hearts toward God
and usually becomes the predominant
principle of their lives We all know
from experience that it was the love Of
Christ for US that kindled within our
breasts the fame of love for Christ and
that unkindles it when that love grows
cold and lukewarm. Nothing so revives
a dropping love for Christ as TO sit in
imagination beneath the cross and to
look upon His sufferinSs and TO remem-
Der that He bore the cross and shame for
Us because He loved US Such a mani
festation OF love is sufficient to set ablaze
the coolest heart.
Christ great love for Us should lead
mands the same thing in return. AS
iron sharpeneth iron, so love should be-
get love. And 1t does beget love, or it
would beget love if men dwelt more
than they do upon the love Of God and
Of Christ The trouble is men do not
give it sufficient thought It's an old
story, and they pass it by. If they real
lied its tremendous importance and
meaning, they would be all afame with
love for Christ
The love Of Christ should also lead US
to love all men. The man that loves
God Is commanded also TO love his
brother. John says, If man say, I
love God, and hateth his brother he is a
liar, Tor he that loveth net his brother
whom he hath seen, how can he love
God, whom he hath not seen: And this
have we from him. That
he who leyeth God love his brother
also. ="

In 1887 new grant was made by the
general court, which WAS to DeGregoire
and wife, who had been granted a part
Of Mount Desert and tho complained that
they had not so much land as belonged
to them, and they petitioned the court to
give them a slice on the main land, which
was granted July 6, 1877; land was cheap,
and the whole matter was successfully
lobbied.
This was the French grant on the main
land and embraces the whole Of Trenton,
part of No. s and of No. I (Ellsworth).
John Peters was employed to run out
this grant in which the old settlers were
protected in their rights.
Mr.. Peters made his report Jan. rs, 1879,
as follows:
"The outlines Of the French Grant are
as follows: First we begun at stake
and stones near an old mill dam on the
eastern side of Skilings river called

THE FIRST SAW MILL
Benjamin Milliken probably built the
first saw mill which, have no doubt, was
a tide mill as most of the mills were at
that time. The mill was below the bridge
thirty or forty rods. Judge Peters and
John d. Hopkins tell OF seeing old bed
timbers there when they were boys and
went in swimming. This mill is said to
have gone out in freshet and anot her
built at the first fall at the head OF tide

around Castine for their use in building
Fort George.
During the Revolutionary war the
hardy pioneers had struggle for exist
