POWERS CLAY BANK.
A Maine Farmer Discovers Clay
Which VIII Net Him Ten Dollars
Ton Profit.

The New England farmer who owns
bank of white aluminous clay that is
free from grit, and capable Of being
ground to fine mass of white powder,
has no need of going to the Klondike
or seeking other fields for wealth, be-
cause the paper makers will take all
the clay he can produce and Fay him
$40 TO $12 ton for the same and thank
him for the privilege. Henry Powers.
of Camden, Me-, who owns a small
farm near Mount Megunticook and
sells picking cucumbers in the Boston
market for one dollar barrel, thinks
he has discovered one of these much
sought clay mines at the back end of
his lot in damp, bCggy place, which
will not grow cucumbers.
1t was the desire for more cucum-
bers that led to the discovery. Bowers
was ditching his bog land to draw off
the water one day in June, and when
he had gone through some three feet
of black muck his spade ran deep into
a hard white clay that was tough to
cut and which shook like jelly when
agitated. Having worked in paper
mill in Orono for two winters and
knowing that the makers of white pa
per used about 35 per cent. of Ger
man clay in their stock, he took some
of his mineral hcme and dried II in the
oven of his cook stove. When the
water had been dispelled he Ground the
mass in the family coffee mill and sent
few pounds of the powder 10 a large
paper mill in Berlin Falls, \. II. In
| about week he received word thai
the sample he had forwarded was as
| good as the best that could be had in
Europe, and that the company would
/ pay him So ton for all he could
| produce. As the total cost of digging,
| drying, grinding and boxing the clay
| does not exceed two dollars q ton. and
| Is there are 1.o0G. .OC0 tons Of it on the
| Bowers place, the finder has hig, hopes
OF becoming millionaire, and viii at
once start In TO build up his fortune.
Until four years ago agalite was the
only clay material that could be en-
ployed in making white paper. Latel
a deposit of white clay was found in
| South Carolina which has been largely
used as q substitute for the imported
article. The South Carolina produce
sells for eight dollars a ton. while
| agalite commanded SIS. As the Cam
den clay is said to be as good as the
best, it will no doubt come into genera
use. Both the Camden and the Sout,
Carolina products are composed OF
lime and alumina, and contain no SAND
of any kind. The clay found in Camder
is much the whittier, making it very
valuable TO pa"er wallers.-N. y. Sun

INDIAN LACEMAKERS.

r;di4fg employment for the women OF
The Chippewa tribes of Indians whlch
would make them self-supporiing.
There was no market for the bead
work which they made, and she hit
upon the plan of teaching them lace
making. In conjunction with the Epis-
copal mission, she established this de-
partment and sent Miss Pauline Colpy
10 instruct the Indian women.
Almost from the beginning the ex-
pertinent was success, and during the
following year large quantity of the
lace thus manufactured was sold 10
wealthy women Of New York, the prin-
cipal patrons being Mrs. Cornelius VAN
derbilt, Mrs. Astor, Mrs. c. P. Hunting
ton and others, who purchase about
all the lace made. Mrs. j. Pierpont
Morgan and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt
are now having made for them some
very fine lace bedspreads, for when
they pay $500 each.
Miss Pauline Colby has been remark
ably successful with her pupils, and
after an experience of eight years
among these women she believes they
are more deft with their fingers and
more painstakine with their work than
white women. although she says they
are not so quick TO learn as their
white sisters. The Indian women are
raid for their work at the rate OF ten
cents an hour. They are paid as soon
IS their work is completed. -

UPPER REGIONS OF THE AIR.
Unexplored Space Is Very Much More
Interesting Than the
North Pole.

Above us there extends a vast unex-
plored space far more interesting from
scientific point of view than the icy
regions around the north pole. No one
can reach the limit of the upper regions
of the air and live, unless he carries
with him air to breathe and fuel to
warm him; for at the paltry distance of
ten miles above the earth the air is too
thin to support respiration, and the
thermometer would register far below
zero. 1t would be region of perpetual
snow on peak of the earth if it should
rise to such height. y person il bal
loon could not hear friend in a neigh
boring balloon, even if they were near
enough to shake hands. There would
| be no medium for the propagation of
sound waves. There would, however,
still be a medium in fact of great con-
ductibiity-almost as good as a metal;
and it is this medium at even less
! height which Tesla proposes to use in
his methods of transmitting power
hundreds of miles through the air with
cut wires.
| We live under a blanket of air which
protects Us from the extreme cold of
outer space. This low temperature be
| comes evident $4,000 or 5000 feet above
| the surface Of the earth, and would, as
| have said, reach point far below zero
at a height CT ten miles. At this height
we should no longer observe the twink
! ling of the stars; for this scintillation is
! due to the movements of our atmos-
| phere, which at the height | have men
toned would be extremely raretied. If
one could photograph the suns spec
trum at this altitude we could greatly
extend our knowledge of the shortest
wave lengths of light; for the atmos-
2he.e completely absorbs such wave
ie-- gths as are concerned in the X-ray
| phenomena. That this absorption real
| y takes place can be proved in labora
:ory.
The heat and light which ,ye receive
from the sun are thus greatly modified
by this blanketing layer of air. The
long waves of the energy from the sun
are called heat waves. The interme-
ciate waves are tered light waves;
end we receive these in full measure.

stopped by eur atmosphere and are

PAINT SAVED OUR SHIPS.
The Dull Tint Used as War Paint Made
Them Poor Targets for
SpRniards.

II am delighted 10 read the kilograms
from Washington that the American
rarships are being painted white
again." said Col. *. b. Brown at the
Russ house the other night. The colo
mel is from Virginia City and. like most
Nevadans, he oscillates between the
Russ and Palace-boards at the first
and talks politics in the rotunda of the
other.

is what suits me-" continued Col.
Erown. at suits me especially when it

The dirty, neutral tint Of the vessels
made them look as il they were merging
into the marine waterscape. You could
scarcely tell where the ships ended and
the water began, SO that it was much
more difficult to draw a bead on them
than if they had been painted in eny
clear color. The SDaniards are poor
marksmen, of course. but / believe that
our ships escaped many shot and shell
