Some curious cloud formations oc-
Cured over Lake Apopka recently.
The first, in the form of an elongated
cone, with apex pointing downward,
dropped to the lake, but soon lifted
with many gyrations of the small end.
Following this in a northerly direc-
ton came three other clouds of SINH
lar form, but in one of these the cones
had the form of an hour-glass, and
one part leaped from the lake while
the other dropped from the sky. The
two cones would separate and meet
again. Now one cloud would divide
into two or more, and again several
would unite into one. They disap-
peared as soon as they passed across
the lake.-Ex.

Very encouraging are the reports
daily coming into the Advocate office
from owners of resuscitated orange
groves in the Titusville section. The
trees are putting on a wonderful
growth; and while the number of box

still it will help to stimulate orange
growers, and encourage them to put
more attention on their groves as we'll

While people are rushing to Klon-
say that there is as much gold in Maine
as there is in the north. To be sure
much prospecting has been done with
out good results but the old prospectorI
who have travelled over Piscataquis an1
Franklin counties say that some day
the section will be the greatest goll
producing districts of the world. Up
in Spencer is a range of hills that once
gave great promise and in a big valley
there some men washed out three or
four dollars a day but succumbed to
the inconvenience of living in the
woods and gave it up. They had to
carry their provisions on their backs
for miles as there is no water course
for canoeing. The valley is 13 miles
long and as level as the parade ground
at the muster field. In one end Of it is
a farm of 600 acres. This is so level
that if a rabbit jumps on any part OF
it the animal can be seen from aty
other part. The farm was cleared up
for raising hay and potatoes for the
lumber-lnen and an old tote road leads
from there through the adjacent lum'
bering country. There are still to be
seen the cradles and other implements
used by the miners. They went direct
ly at the placer ard did not try to f1nd
the mother load. The Canadian racine
row runs across one end Of the val
ley. The farm is owned by ]. Manches-

Had a .Grand Good Time." /"

The second annual outing of the
mothers and children of Augusta, took
place, yesterday, and they had grand
good time. In spite of the threatening Is
clouds in the morning, about 12O went
upon the excursion. Owing to an ac-
cident to the draw at the Gardiner
bridge the Islander. which took them
down river. could not come up after
them, so they had to make the trip to
and from Gardiner upon the Electrics /;
but that pleased them all the better.
The trip down the river extended TO
Boothbay. Upon the return it rained
quite hard but that could not dampen
the spirits of the young folks. These
outings are under the charge of the
w. c. T. U. of Augusta. and are SUP
ported by the citizens. They make A
bright spot in the lives of many a
mother and child, who would not other
wise have a chance to take the beauti-
full trip.

The Seventh Day Adventists >
Maine have again come to Augusta /,
hold their annual conference ana camp
meeting. This is the third year tha
their ten'ts have been pitched in Mr.

The workers began to come, Sunday
and Monday morning the grounds pre-.
sented a busy scene. Heavily loaded
teams kept arriving and white house:

to be taking time by the forelock. ;
AS the day wore on this seemed we'll

work outside. There seemed to bl
plenty to do, however. beneath the
tented roofs. A commodious book tent
has been erected near the entrance
and willing hands have been unpack-
ing large boxes filed with books AMI
tracts. These publications will be dis
played in an attractive manner later,
and be on sale.
The large dining tent is already pre-
pared to furnish board to those on the
grounds.
The pavilion is yet to be decorate /
and the youth and children's tents
made attractive. A dozen or more in
dividual tents have been pitched.
These furnish homes for the workers,
The great body of the camp is vet to
come. Each train brings new arrivals
and if the weather is favorable, today,
the white village will grow rapidly.
Public services will not begin until
the last of the week. Notice of the
exact time will be given later.
1t is not known certainly what min
listers will be present.
Elder H. C. Basney, president of the
Maine Conference, and Elder p. B.
Osborne from Hartland, are already on
the ground. 1t is hoped that the
weather will be more favorable than it
was last year and that there will be a
very large attendance from the cities.
The Seventh Day Adventists by their
orderly and quiet gatherings have won
the respect and confidence of the COM
munity. The various railroads grant

Married by Proxy.

One of the QueereSt features of court
life in Europe is the marriage by proxy
of royal personages, says the Argonaut.
There are at the present moment no
less than three royal ladies who have
been thus wedded-the Queen Regent
of Spain, the Dowager Queen of Portu-
gal and the ex-Queen of Naples.
Kings and reigming sovereigns are
held to be too important personages to
be married anywhere else than in their
own dominions. On the other hand. t
is held to be infra dtgnitate for spin
ster princess of the blood, who is about
to blossom forth into a full-fledged
queen or empress to travel abroad in
quest of a consort.
In order to meet this difficulty the
royal or imperial bridegroom delegates
one of the principal mobiles of the
realm, who goes through the religious
and civil portions of the wedding cere-
mony in the capital of the brides
country on behalf of his master, max
ing the responses for him. and tender
ing his hand, as well as the ring, at the
prescribed points of the ceremony. He
then accompanies her to his master 8
dominions, acting a.; her chief escort.
According to the ideas of the Roman
Catholic church, ceremony of this
kind is sufficiently binding upon the
bride and upon the royal bridegroom
to render any further ceremony,
ecclesiastical, or civil superfluous, and
when any additional religious function
takes place it usually assumes the form
of "Te Deum'' and a solemn benedic-
ton, attended by both husband and
wife Immediately on the arrival of the
latter in the capital of her adopted
| country.

HENRY DRUMMOND,

The Author of "The Greatest Thing in
the World" is no More.
Prof. Henry Drummond's death,
(Which occurred last week. will be
deplOred by very large class of
readers. His writings have been ex-
tensively circulated, and his fame
has not been confined to the Eng
disappearing people. Prof. Drum
mOnd was a scientist of the Chris
tian school and his influence upon
the Christian thought of his times
has been noteworthy. He was born
in 1851 on the field of Bannockburn,
and was a Scot of the SCOTS. At
the close of his college life he be-
came interested in Mr.. Moody's
revival work in Edinburg, aud un-
der the inspiration of that work de-
voted some time to the labor of
ameliorating the condition of the
poor. He was educated as a Free
Church minister and served for a
time as missionary in Malta. In
1877 he was appointed lecturer at
Free Church College, Glasgow, and
in 1884 he became professor of
natural science in the Glasgow Uni
versity. 1t was in 1888 that he pub
lished his Natural Law in the
Spiritual World" which i'm
mediately made him famous and
made other productions of his pen
eargerly sought after. This and his
1.-The Greatest Thing in the World
have been translated into many
languages. He travelled extensively
in Africa, and his book, Tropical
Africa" has had large sale. Prof
Drummond was an evOlutionist, but
his writings had force and ferveT
of spiritual conviction that greatly
commend them even to those who
dissent from some of his views

SURE SIGN OF SPRING.

The grass and wheat are on Jump,
The apple blooms are wedding;

The old bay mare quits shedding.
