cal survey of Maine. DR.. Jackson was
one of the learned men of his day and the
first person to discover the anesthetic
properties of ether. AS Sammy's eddy
was the wonder of New England, he came
to Bucksport and did all he could to sift
out the facts.
After long study he arrived at the con-
clusion that the distur bance in the eddy
syas due to some inland pond having an
seeking for such a sheet of water he OBJ
served the fluctuations in Shows pond.
The thermometer showed the mica schist
ledge in which the pond rests had strata
dip that would come out very near the
eddy. Then he constructed theory in
which he connected the pond with the
eddy by a siphonlike tunnel, mile in
length which filled with air when the
pond was low and discharged with great
force as soon as the freshets came on
This accounted for the pond s losing water
at the time of floods and also for the
eddy's conduct, but it did not assign any
reason for a rise in the pond in midsnm-
mer, though the doctor limited at the
elasticity of compressed air and other
agencies as probable causes.
So here was Charleyi Scott's diabolism
arrayed against DIR. Jackson's science, and
the inquiring mind could take either side
of the argument and have authority. For
years the matter has been discussed, but
to day it is not settled. Meanwhile, Sam
my's eddy has become more pacific. Its
outbreaks have become less frequent and
less violent, and of late few notice the
rare disturbances, although now and then
an old resident will tell of "Charley
Scott's pot boiling in Sammy's eddy.

The patients of DR.. Thomas will be glad to
know that he has arranged professional visits to
Ellsworth every Other. Tuesday mt the American
House, and to Bluehil every other Wednesday at
the Bluehill House. There is no physician in the
United States better known than the doctor. His
cures are numerous and often of such mi.
raculous nature that many writers have claimed
that many of his cures were miracles. DR.,
Thomas ability to tell patient his diseases
without asking question is as well established
as that DIR. Thomas lives.
These visits of the doctor will afford an ex.

When an incident like the following oc-
ours right here at home, it is bound to
carry weight with our readers. When so
many strange occurrences go the rounds
Of the press and are published as facts;
when the intelligent reader knows they
cannot be true, there is no wonder that
people become skeptical. On one subject
skepticism is rapidly disappearing This is
due to the actual personal experience of
our citizens and their public utterances
regarding them. The doubter must
doubt no more in the face of such evi-
dence as this. The public statement of
reputable citizen living right here at
home, one whom you can see every day,
leaves no groundifor the skeptic to stand
on.

TO REPLACE THE MAINE.
Master John "a. Fawcett Interested
in the Plan of the school Children.

Master John n. Fawcett Interested
in the Plan of the school Children.
Master John r. Fawcett, son Of Mr.. A.
r. Fawcett. has taken a decided interest
in the movement among the school chill
dren of the country, which originated with
a schoolboy in Cincinnati, named William
Rankin Good, to raise a fund among the
school children of the United States to re-
place the lost battleship Maine in the
American navy.
The object is a laudable one, and 1t
seems that it has been taken up with a
determination which will probably result
in it's ultimate success. A few days after
the destruction Of the Maine In Havana
harbor, young Good thought il would be
a good plan for the school children of the
country to raise fund with which to re-
place the lost member of the American
navy. The plan was Endorsed at once by
the Cincinnati Inquirer, and was then TAXI
en- up In earnest. The youthful originator
of the project, whose address Is Sal Ever
EFT street, Cincinnati, o., has taken active
charge of the matter, and has secured the
custodian Of the fund. In sums of $50 900
the money raised is to be forwarded to
the United States treasury for the object
stated
Master Fawcett, seeing the account of
the plan, wrote 10 Good, and in
reply received a letter saying he
would be pleased TO have the
school children of Savannah cooper
ate in the plan. Circulars were enclosed
giving an account of the plan as outlined,
and showing that II is on a good, sub
stanlal footing. Mr. Fawcett is exceed
ingIy anxious to have the matter taken
up i'm Savannah. 1t is a case OF every
little helps" and when ii comes to some
thing like 100000 school children all over
the country adding q penny or two to the
fund, it is easy to see how II might swell
rapidly.
The idea is to get a committee composed
of well-known and responsible persons to
take hold of the matter in cities like Sa-
vannah where there are school
children enough to add considera-
bic to such fund, even in
the smallest contributions The plan Il
Is said, has the Endorsement of Consul
General Lee, Secretary of War Alger,
Gov Bushnell of Ohio, Senator Foraker
and number of congressman. It may be
that some of the teachers will take an in
terest in the matter and help to push il
along. If the school children of the coun-
try succeed in raising a fund TO replace
the lost battleship Maine, 1t will certainly
be "A monument to them as we'll as to the
heroes who lost their lives when the
Maine was destroyed.

GETTING READY TO FIGHT.
Chatham Artillery Enlisted Fifteen
New Recruits Yesterday.

The Chatham Artillery is doing some
good work in the way of recruiting its
strength, and the officers believe now
that by Saturday night they will be able
to report to the Governor that they have
secured the fun strength of 12O men. and
are ready for orders.
Lieut. Armin B. Palmer and Lieut.. w.
P. Bailey took turns at tbs armory yes
terday in receiving the recruits for en-
rollment. and the success with which
they met was very gratifying. Recruits
were also enrolled by Capt. Walker at
his office next to the Cotton Exchange
on Bay street Altogether about fifteen
new recruits were secured, and promises
Of many others were given. Some of those
who called to get information about en-
rolling announced that they would prob
ably go with the artillery but would de-
eide later
Among the recruits received by the
artillery are five or six sailors, some of
them brawny muscular fellows who ought
to make good fighters. They are being
given sleeping quarters and rations by
the artillery until such time as the COM
pany shall be summoned to Atlanta for
the purpose of having its members mus
teteu III. some SHDIAs nave BtSH AldNS
and are being made to have the Savan-
nah troops mustered in here, but it has
not yet been definitely decided whether
this can be done. The artillerymen ex-
pect 10 have their guns and equipment
sent here before they go to Atlanta, as
they want to get an encampment of ten
days or two weeks a home first for the
benefit of the men.
Capt. Walker has had a good many
offers of recruits from other parts of the
state, some of which he has replied to
favorably. Others have written him Of
fering so many men if they could get
lieutenants commission. Capt Walker
expects to get all of his recruits without
having 10 secure them by this means.
There are many good men right here in
the city who want to so with the artil-
lery. He already has on his rolls one
baker two horse shoers and a machin-
list, just the very classes who are needed
In an artillery company.
The officers and many of the men of
Capt. Walkers con mand want to go and
are eager to get into the fight, il there
IS going to be one. They are going In
with a determination, and If a line of
battle Is ever formed in cuba they want
to be right there.
The enrolment of recruits will continue
to-day both at the Chatham's armory
and at Capt. Walkers Office. The hours
al the armory are from 3 O'clock in the
morning until o'clock in the evening,
the rolls being in charge of Lieuts. Pal
mer and Bailey.
