HAMMOND's GROWING STONE
Carried in His Pocket When Boy.
Now Weighs 65 Pounds

The most interesting thing l saw down
in Maine was a growing stone that be
longs to II. II. Hammond of Smiths
Cove, near Winter Harbor, and lies upon
a granite post beside the steps that lead
to his front door. 1t is egg shaped and
Of perfect symmetry, with the exception
that it is somewhat flattened upon the
side which rested upon the ground.
Thirty years or more William Ham
mond, a brother of II. H., who now lives
in San Francisco, picked up this re-
markable stone upon the edge of the
cove. He was then boy 10 years old,
and was attracted by its regular shape
and smooth surface, which contains a
good deal of mica schist and sparkles in
the sun as if it had been sprinkled with
diamond dust The boy took the stone
home in his pocket, for it was very small
in comparison with its present size, and
could have been easily slipped into a
quart cup. He played with it in the
yard for several years, and it lay upon
the mantelpece in the house during the
winter months, but as he grew older he
lost interest in the plaything and it rolled
under lilac bush beside the front door.
There it remained for fifteen years or
so. When young Hammond returned
from San Francisco he recognized it,
but was much astonished to find that
it had increased in size and weight to
most remarkable degree. When he
was a child, as l said, he carried the
stone in his pocket. When he recovered
it, as a man, it was larger than the
crown Of a stovepipe hat and weighed
at least twelve or fifteen pounds more
than when he saw it last H. II. Ham
mond became SO much interested in the
phenomenon that he removed it from
the ground beneath the lilac bush and
placed it upon the granite step at the
right of his front door, where the sun
rests upon it the greater part of the day.
Shortly after it was placed there abou.
six years ago. Mr.. Hammond got the
meat peddler to put 1t on his scales, and
its weight was Gorty-one pounds, which
was marked with a pencil upon the stone
itself with the date. Three years later
it had grown to fifty pounds. On the
! 18th day of May last the stone was
weighed again by the same scales and
tipped the beam at sixty-five pounds
Mr.. Hammond then made series OF
tmeasurs ments and will preserve then
for future comparison. The circum-
ference Of the stone by tape measure
| the longest way, is feet 2 1-3 inches
while at the widest part the narrow way
it is feet Az inches.
Mr.. Hammond is a respectable farmer
is deacon in the Baptist Church, ant
was born in the house where he lives
Even if he did not have so high "repu-
tation for truth and veracity," the facts
about the growing stone have beer
known to everybody In the nelghborhooG
| ever since young Hammond came bach
from California and found it under the
lilac oush. MIR. hammond has beer
offered large sums of money for thc
curiosity, but will not part with it foi
any nriCe.

Boats and Oars

ing the only paper boat, won. When one
takes up the question of the lines of the
boats the problem becomes more and more
intricate. yet one cannot help but be i'm
pressed with the fact that the experience of
Englishmen is so much wider than ours that
they ought at least to have arrived at con-
cusions based upon more sufficient evil
dence than ours. The same applies to cars.
Should a blade be seven inches, six inches
or only five and a half or three-quarters
Cornelrs oars were broader than Yale's or
Harvard's, and broader than the English
crews use But English crews row with
thole-pins instead Of rowlocks. and Harv-
ard, rowing thus, under the direction of an
English coach, has for two years been igno-
miniously defeated. May not the boats ani
oars be like the thole-pins, a product of
conservatism rather than logical result OF
long study?
