A BUSY HERMIT.
Queer Maine Character who Is study
ing Perpetual Motion Under
the TuteIage of Calico.

Between farming, studying the
Bible. and searching for the secret of
perpetual motion, Samuel p. Fall, who
lives the life of a hermit in the out
skirts of East Lebanon. Me-, is about
the busiest man in York county. Fall
says that he got his first idea of per
petual motion from Calico, who APP

Used to impart to Farmer Fall the long
sought secret and disappeared, say
ing that it would come back again in
seven years. Whether this promise
has been kept Farmer Fail does not
say, but ever since the visitation of
Calico he has been studying up on the
subject of perpetual motion. which Sc
cret he fully believes he will some day
discover. Among his books the Bible
is favorite, and he declares that after
many readings of the Scriptures he
has decided that the Book. from Gene
sis to Revelations, was written by one
man. He has copied the entire Bible,
and written voluminous notes in ex-
PLANTATION, as he says. of its mysteries,
the manuscript being load for hay
rack.
As result of his studies of Holy
Writ and works on mechanics, togeth-
er with several visions and other spir-
itual communications, Farmer Fall
has constructed two or three devices
for the attainment of perpetual mo-
ton. One consists of a large pulley
fitted with tubes containing quick
silver. The other device consists of a
double cross, the arms imparting mo-
ton by means of system of weights,
Unlike most dreamers, Farmer Fall is
well off financially, devoting a good
part of his time to the cultivation of
one of the best farms in his vicinity.

Benefits Of q Sugar Factory.

The La Grande sugar factory has been

The La Grande Journal says that the
weather for many days past has been all

the factory, and since that time the beets
have been delivered in regular quantities.

THE FRUITS or THE WATERS.
The Far Famed Yakima Country Without IT.
rieation a Barren wilderness

How o. r. Holcomb, state arid land
commissioner, in the September State
has an interesting contribution under the
above caption. He says:
I'm dry, arid section, the climate is
practically uniform and certain; with
plenty Of heat and sunlight, given rich
soil. the application of eighteen per cent
moisture to the soil will insure GER
tsinty of crop. And these conditions
are not variable, but the same, one year
with another. 1t will therefore be
readily seen that farming by irrigation
in an arid region, where the required
amount Of water is obtainable, is much
more certain than in almost any other
kind of climate. Our state has great
object lesson to prove the above facts in
the far-famed Yakima Country. In
Washington exist a great variety of eli
mate and physical features. From the
coast we pass successfully through hu-
mid, a sub-humid, a dry, and very
moist climate. The Yakima region is
the western potion of the dry section
Without irrigation it would be dry
wilderness; with it, is possibly the most
reliable crop-proiucing section in the
State at present. 1t is the region where
irrigation could be prscticed in the east
est and simplest manner. Its easy and
simple system and methods have now,
however, been exhausted. In future, in
common with other less fortunate por-
tons Of the State, the Yakima Country,
in order to put more land under irrigating
systems, must develop more complex and
expensive systems. In fact, it may be
said of the entire arid area OF the United
States that the limit of irrigation In a
small way has practically been reached
Henceforth, it can only be prosecuted by
the employment of science and large cap
ital.

Nature Likes Them Not and Invari-
ably brushes the Breed.
Through all time men of genius have
scoffed at and have ridiculed the at
tempts of purse proud old "richesse'
to create superior orders of manhood.
Nor is this a matter for wonder. They
were and are ridiculous. Yet these at
tempts are repeated every hour. Con-
sidering them one would suppose that
wealth, titles, dignities, are talismans
which insure virtue and honor and per
sonal worth and beauty in those to
whom they descend Talismans are
ridiculous, and so are titles.
Nobility is of blood and not of gar
tiers, royal sponsors and christening
robes. Pedigrees, portraits and family
history when truthful tell us a great
quarterings and patents are worthless,
and the production of a great genius is
in general as bad a sign as the produo-
ton of a great profligate Races that
produce g%eniuses should be avoided.
The best is the second best-the normal.
Genius, as some one Victor Hugo, l
think has finely said, is a promontory
stretching out into the ocean of the in
finite. Look for the descendants of
Shakespeare, Bacon, Maoaulay, We'll
lington, Nelson, Gibbon, Swift, Vol
taire, Carlyle, Bonaparte, Goldsmith,
Spencer, Milton, Crom we'll, Disraeli-
to take q few names at random-and
you will find that they are not, for

the normal-a 'sport. He is never
symmetrical. Such a one nature likes
not, and she makes provision for the ex-
tinction of his race. -Humanitarian.

An English Comedian Compares 1t

George Grossmith, comparing Ameri-
can humor with English, says: "a
New York gentleman was once chatting
me about my pronunciation of certain
words, and ! was very much amused at
it. So | said to him: It's our language,
you know. We invented it before you
were discovered. He was a bit abashed
at first. Then he said: THAT S SO. Well,
l think it's about time you learned to
speak it,
sit is very difficult to score off an
American, and you can't play a prao-
tical joke on one at all. I've often
gone, when I've had a friend with me,
into some old city bank, like the Bank
of England, for example-staid old
place, you know. We've marched up to
the counter, and I've said quite calmly
to the old gentleman behind it, Cant
/ have a brandy and soda and some
sandwiches?' They've always been most
polite and taken it seriously, saying,
We don't keep brandy and soda and
sandwiches here. But you nave them
ordered in from outside. Yes, but
that of course is for ourselves, and so
on, all quite gravely and without the
suspicion of a smile or the slightest
culver of the muscles of the counte-
nance to indicate a sense that a prao-
tioal joke was fooling around"

In every civilized country rich and poor
alike have found restored health and new
vigor in Paine's celery compound.
"Hard-working people of ordinary
means are to be congratulated, said an
English writer in reviewing the scientific
work of the last quarter of a century,
upon having so easily within their reach
to-day a remedy which the wealthiest and
most influential persons must themselves
use, if they would get the best that mod
ern medical skill offers. Paine's celery
compound proves that the science of med
icine has kept pace with the wonderful
progress which characterizes the life Of
the present generation"
The astonishing reputation that this
most wonderful of all remedies has ac-
quired is principally due to the word-of-
mouth recommendation and Endorsement
of men and women of the highest business
and social standing, as well as of those in
humber but no less important positions
who have themselves discovered it's mer-
its.
Adeline, Countess Schimmelmann, whose
portrait is here given, in a recent letter to
the Wells & Richardson Company speaks
of friends of hers who have been benefited
by Paine's celery compound, and who
first advised her to recommend it to her
sick friends.

illuminated Buoys.

Another form of beacon for mariners
of smaller dimensions, but hardly less
important, is the illuminated buoy
These floating lamp holders, placed in
an estuary where the available channel
is often only a narrow one, bounded by
mud or sand banks only a few feet below
the surface of the water, are invaluable
to shipping, Hitherto the illuminant
chiefly employed has been compressed
gas, necessitating a high pressure reser-
voir and COMPRISING machinery.
Mr.. Wigham, whose name has long
been known in connection with light
house apparatus, has introduced a min
eral oil lamp which can be fitted to
any existing buoy and will burn for a
long period at very small cost The
maintenance of one form of lamp can
be kept up at a cost of one penny for "a
hours, and as no COMPRISING machinery
is required this is the only expense
plus the original cost of the lamp. The
approach to port-such as that of Liv-
erpool, for instance, where a ship has
to enter through a long avenue of buoys
could by this invention be almost as
we'll lighted as a city street. Cham

Cromwell legends are SO ubiquitous
in England that it is a real relief to lay
ones hand upon a bit of solid fact re-
lating either to the protector or his
family. Elizabeth, the second and IA
vorite daughter of Cromwell, married
John Claypole of Marlborough, and
appears to have spent a considerable
portion of her 10 years of welded life
in his substantial fourteenth century
house. Carlyle asserts Elizabeth Clay
pole to have been "a graceful, brave
and amiable woman and of her home
that it is ''now ruined-patched into
a farmhouse"
The second statement is not charao-
teriZed by his usual accuracy, and the
first probably needs some modification,
for Elizabeth Claypole is credited with
some turning of her head over her IA
theirs elevation, and at a wedding
feast is reported to have exclaimed,
when asked why the wives of the major
generals were absent, "I'll warrant
you, washing their dishes at home, as
they used to do" Not a particularly
%''amiabIe'' sentence that.
Cromwell seems to have had some
insight of her little weakness. "TelI
her, he wrote once, 'to take heed of a
departing heart and of being cozened
with worldly vanities and worldly COM
pany, which, / doubt, she is too subject
to-" 1t is agreed by most authorities
that John Claypole himself was little
enough of a Puritan, but let it stand to
his credit that, after Oliver died, he
provided a haven for his widow for the
rest of her life in this manor house.
