The death of another meml

The death of another member of
our regiment at Chckamauga, Pri-
vate Perkins of the Biddeford Com
pany, brings SOLDERING realization to
Maine of what the war is meaning.
We cannot be too thankful, however.
Of the remarkable immunity of our
regiment from disease and death 1t
is well toward three months since the
boys were called into camp at Au-
gusta, and only two deaths in that
time is a record more fortunate than
most regiments have had.

Judge Webb of the U. S. district
court says he is studying on the new
bankruptcy law. just passed by Con-
gress, and between now and August
will have organized the Maine system.
He believes the advantage of the law
will be great. For instance the ma
tional law will make insolvency pro-
ceedingS in one state good in another
Under the old state system, creditors
in another state than that in which
the insolvency case was brought, had
no part in the proceedings unless they
chose, and their claim was not affected
by a discharge allowed by the probate
judge in the other state. This often
acted to the distinct disadvantage of
the debtor and sometimes to that of
the creditor. He also believes the
new law will secure more even dis
tribution of assets amongst the
creditors. There will be entire uni
formity throughout the country, too

THE SMALLEST GUNNER.

He Fired Big Gun and Discencorted \
British Colony.
Cape Town, South Africa. claims the
honor of giving birth to the smallest
creature ever known to become gun
ner in the Royal Artillery, or any other
artillery in the whole world. At the
Castle, Cape Town, there is a magnif-
cent gun worked by electricity, used
for giving the midday and evening time.
One fine day all the military and civil
ians in Cape Town were astonished to
hear the gun go off at 1890 in the morn
ing, an hour and half before the
proper time, II being the usual hour for
firing. Messengers came from the gen
eral commanding the station, the brig
adler major, commanding officers of
each regiment and battery stationed in
Cape Town, and from everybody inter-
ested, but the answer was that no per-
son had sbeen near the gun, nor had
anybody interfered with the wires, bat
terry or source from which it was fired.
All the officials were fearfully puzzled
at the extraordinary occurrence, but
could give no explanation whatever.
The general IN command Of the station
became furious and said that there was
acknowledgement somewhere, and gave
orders for strict search to be made by
the officials for the guilty party
i Search was made, but nothing re-
suited to throw any light on the extra
ordinary affair. although the greatest
possible pains were taken to solve the
mystery. They had practically given
the search up, when suddenly the news
came from the officials stating that the
culprit had been caught and arrested.
It seems the electric current for firing
off the gun is supplied by the Royal
Observatory of Cape Town, and goes
there by means of an instrument known
as a relay that is in the central tele-
graph office of the station. the distance
being about 500 yards The action OF
the current going through the instru-
ment's main moves sort OF light
tongue, which is very finely set, so fine
| that the least little thing would affect
1t. This forces the current directly into
what they term the time fuses, which
have the power Of firing the gun at the
Castle. On examining the instrument
one of the officials found big brown
| spider inside.1t appears that while hav'
| ing an exploring trip around the instru.
ment the unfortunate spider must have
touched this tongue sufficiently to move
! it, and consequently it fired off the gun
The general commanding the station
sent the spider to the Cape Town Mu
scum, where he is now to be seen witt

WHEN THE EARTH WAS YOUNG.
1t Absorbed, the Heat That Now, az
Coal Serves Other PurpOses,

NOal SeFVeB OUneF IurpOSeS.
Tie average householder this winter
does not pause to consider the fact that
he is keeping his dwelling warm by the
heat of the suns rays which fell upon
the earth millions Of years ago. Says
DR.. Homer Greene: 1.-THE solar orb OF
that vanished epoch, bigger than it is
to-day and hotter, brought forth even
in this latitude tropical vegetation
Of wonderful luxuriance. Plants Of
strange kinds-mosses as big as forest
trees and ferns 80 feet in height-grew
up richly from the clayey soil and
formed dense jungles in the vast
marshes which covered large areas Of
the surface of this planet Ferns.
MOSES, and the leaves, branches and
TRUNKS of trees fell and decayed where
they grew, only to make the soil more
fertile and the next growth more lux
uriant. Year after year, century after
century, this process Of growth and de-
cay went on, until the beds Of vege-
table matter thus deposited had reached
great thickness.
but the earth's body was still shrink
ing, and in consequence her crust at
times contracted and fell in. When it
did SO the land sank throughout vast
areas. These beds Of vegetable matter
went down, and over the great marshes
the water swept again. Over the de-
posits the sand and mud and gravel
were laid down anew, and the clayey
soil from which the next rich growth
would spring was spread out on the
surface. This process was repeated
again and again-as often, indeed, as
seams Of coal in any coal-bed. Thus
the conditions for the formation OF
coal wee made complete, atmospheric
air being entirely excluded, while the
vegeta BILE beds underwent the process
Of decomposition"

Wonders have been accomplished by

THE UNION presents herewith ex-
tracts from private letter from a
brother publisher of this state which
demonstrates the action and value of
this new discovery. lie says, in speak
ing of Sylvan Ozone and it's results.
my brother, a printer, was tall and
slim; had raw, granulated throat for
years: bled at lungs nearly every day,
coughing and raising continually: been
getting worse for seven years: began
using Sylvan Ozone last winter and
continued using it all summer; has no
cough now, raises very little and no
bleeding from the lungs: is getting
strong and healthy and is working
steadily at his trade. Before using
Sylvan Ozone he was only able to sit
around the house, growing gradually
! worse.
Again, this same publisher tells of
the use of Sylvan Ozone in his own
family in the following words:
"My wife had cetarrh for two years:
bad throat. with palate raw and en-.
larged; for over three months she
could not speak aloud; one months use
of Sylvan Ozone made her sound and
WE'LL"
He continues:
my little girl ran a rusty nail ir
her foot over an inch. Two days use
of Ozone, and she was wearing her shoe
with as much comfort as ever"
! Ozone will cure consumption, or an.
