Maine Is great state, but II doesn't
seem as IL il is large enough 10 justify
the efforts made by the weather observer
at the Orono Experiment Station, TO
prove that the weather there is so much
better than we enjoy here. During ore
month early in the season, while the
western part Of the state was being
drowned out by almost continuous rains,
the Orono observer would have US be-
lieve that all but some half dozen days
Of the month were fair 10 that place.
Now comes along his report for October,
y month when wells and springs in this
section were drying NJ, aud ponds were
going below low water mark-snd be
hold Ia Orono they had for the month
IL inches Of rain more than the aver
age for October for 80 years. What's
the matter with our weather, anyway:
A peculiar situation has been develop
ed by the arrest Of John Gibson in New
York. Gibson was cashier of the Rigby
pool box, and during the New England
fair he disappeared, taking with him
s22 900 belonging TO the pool box. A
week ago Gibson was arrested In New
York and the city marshal Of Portland
was notified, 80 that the much wanted
man might be brought TO Maine. THIN
the Portland officers discussed the situa-
ton, and concluded that the pool box
was an illegal institution, and they had
no use for the man who had robbed IL, so
they notified the authorities that they
did not want Gibson. The Rigby pool
box has been as public as the races, and
the officers have never given any evil
dence Of suspecting its illegslity, until
now when they have an opportunity TO
secure a man uho ran OF with 81, 900
Of his emp1eysr's money.

ubviou. Values.


The value of a merchant marine as an
auxiliary navy was well illustrated in
the recent war. 1t was fortunate for
the country that so many American
millionaires had yachts which could be
transferred to navy service. 1t was
fortunate that the Government was
able to secure the use of the big ocean
steamers Of one transatlantic line. 1t
would have been much more fortunate
IL we had had an incxhaustible supply
of merchant vessels and many times
the number Of ocean liners available
for service.
Perhaps the Government agents
would not have had to hunt Europe
over SO anXiously in order to piece out
our navy. We might have picced 1T out
more satisfactorily at homo. Certainly
the valuable services rendered by the
auxiliary cruisers ought to be sufi-
Gent to lead Congress to take measures
to secure n large auxiliary navy for the
Government by securing the establish
ment of lines Of ocean steamers
sailing under the Amcrican flag and by
building up mn extensive merchant ma
rine. And not even the p%eace-at-any-
price men could object, since a mer-
chant marine aud fast liners would be
of even more benefit to the nation in
time Of peace than they would be in
war.

Queen N1ary,s Jester.

John Haywood, the poet and dramat-
list, sometimes styled "thc Epigram-
matist," was jester to Queen Mary. He
had been Il great favoritc with her
father, King Henry WILL, to whose
court he was introduced by Sir Thomas
More, and his acquaintance with Mary
was from her childhood. In those early
days he contributed considerably to
the little princess amusemcnt. He was
manager of Il Juvenile company that
played before her; he composed songs
for her, sometimes making himself the
subject and OH her eighteenth birthday
lie wrote a poem in her honor, in which
she was fiattcringly described.
On her marriage with Philip he COM.
posed n ballad for her; and at her cor.
o%nation, when the grand possession,
headed by the new queen clad in blue
velvet and seated in her gildcd chariot
drawn by six horses, approached the
palace, her old friend Haywood greet.

Hcywood's influence with this NOR

and was undoubtedly due to long as
ISOLATION and pleasant memories. Re
was often summoned to cheer her with
his music and wit, and her last illness
was lightened by his songs, r~ecitations,
and readings from his plays. 'tHis
mcrriments were so Irresistible that
they moved even the rigid muscles Of
Queen Mary" says II old writer, "and
her sullen solemnity was not proof
against his songs, his rhymes, and his
jests."-St. Nicholas.

How q Sick Cleveland Man IL I've
Hundred Dollars to the Good.
A very curious fact about the philos.
ophy of handwriting is this: That o
man writes his name twice in ex.
actly the same way, OF, in other words,
one signature is never a fac smile of
any other. So that. if an expert finds
among some genuine signatures one
that corresponds i'll every detail with a
disputed signature-and such q thing
has happened several times-he is alb
solutely certain, first, that the latter
really is bogus, and, second, that he
has before him tho very model used by
the forgcr. All detectives Of the ink
pot agree that the discovery of two
| signatures which, OH being superimpos-
ed and held TO the light, are identical,
seem as one, is a conclusive proof that
there has been tracing.
Such are the leading principles of the
experts profession. How are they ap.
piled? In some cases they are not an.
piled at all. The paper itself, the stamp,
if there is one, may proclaim a docu.
mcnt to be q forgery. Then the micro.
scope and other appliances will some.
times show whether a signature is
fraudulent. Swindlcrs commonly write
Il name in pencil and then ink it over.
IL the expert has reason to believe
that his method has been detected
and it is not difficult TO detect, because,
for IL thing. the signature looks dull.
or than the other writing-lc has only
to put a drop of acid on one of the let.
ters, and, presto! the ink disappears,

meath. But it is practically impossi-
bic to obtain by any mode of tracing a
~sign-manual that will successfully bear
the closest scrutiny. In following the
model. whether that be Il fac smile in
pencil or carbon, or Il genuine signature
held to the light, the pen l,csitates, Civ

which, although no visible to the max.

Mortality in the French Army.
A recent number Of Lie journal Of
fetal Of Paris publishes q report Of the
Minister OF War to President Taure
concerning the sanitary condition Of
the French army, maintained for a
period Of ten years. Including 1897.
After showing what means have been
taken to preserve the health Of the gar
risons, as we'll as Of the colonial troops.
the report shows that from tho year
1898 and 1907, there were less deaths In
the French army than for my other
twelve months in times Of peace. The
mortality, which was 1865 for every
1000 IN 1876 fell in 1896 ana 1897 to
Also. Another important point in the
report shows that the garrisons which,
