\ most shocking accident occurred
at St Johnsbury Center last week
when George Pierce of the firm Of
Pierce Il Co., owners of the grist mill,
was suddenly killed. In oiling the
machinery he became caught in the
shafting and his clothing was wound
around it, suspending his body so
that his lower limbs and arms were
brought in contact with barrels of
-four piled near with every revolution
of the shaft. When found he was
horribly mangled and as the water
wheels are kept running in cold
weather to prevent them from freez-
ing the gate was frozen so they could
not shut il. Chains were thrown in
to the gears, thus stopping the
machinery. The body was then taken
down and life was not quite extinct.
He left a wife and three small chill
dreH, also an aged crippled father.
The 56th annual session of the Yer
mont Methodist conference will open
in the Methodist Episcopal church at
Bellows Falls April IL and will con-
tinue five days. Bishop Stephen M.
Merrill, ID. d., LII. D., of Chicago
will preside. The conference is di-
vided into three districts and it is ex-
pected that the present presiding
elders will be retained, but many
changes in pastors will undoubtedly
be made. The conference roll con-
tains the names Of los members. OF
these nearly 80 are superannuated.
There are 10 probationers and % lay
preachers acting as supplies. The full
church membership is 1852, with
l,206 practitioners. There are l5l
church buildings, valued at S548, 800.

A QUERY FOR FARMERS.
Does Maple sap Flow Up or Down .

DOCS mhpie sap IION Up OF boNh
This is one OF the questions about
which every sugar-maker has specu-
lated and argued. The Vermont eX-
pertinent station has for several years
past been studying the pressure and
flow of maple sap. Some of the inn
pOrtant problems will receive further
study; but certain facts have already
been discovered.
Maple sap consists principally OF
two elements, water and sugar. The
sugar is all manufactured in the green
leaves and a part of it is stored in the
twigs and trunk Of the trees to be used
in the early growth Of the next season.
The water is all absorbed from the
soil. Examinations made in January
show that the wood is then saturated
with sap-about 40 per cent of its
weight at that season being water.
IL the entire tree weighs 10000 pounds,
therefore, there is in it some 1000
pounds Of sap, and il this contains 3
per cent OF sugar, there would be in
the tree some 100 pounds of sugar in
the sap. During the sugaring season
there is probably little movement of
this sap within the untapped tree, but
this sap may be under great pressure.
The pressure, on good sap day, may
rise in such a tree to the startling
amount of over 20 pounds to the
square inch, as registered by steam
pressure gauges used in the expert
mcnt station investigations. When
this pressure is relieved by tapping at
any point there is tendency TO drive
the sap from all directions out through
the tap hole. Careful experiments
indicate that the sap moves very easily
and rapidly with the grain Of the
wood, but very slowly il at all across
the grain, and that, as result, the
sap flows into the tap-hole from
above and below, but not to any APP
probable amounts from the sides.
Two or more tap-holes on different
sides Of the tree will therefore drain
more sap from the tree than will one
hole.
These experiments indicate also
that the upward and downward flow
OF the sap into the tap-hole is about
equally rapid. These points were
proved by a careful and complicated
chemical experiment, which gave very
delicate results, but which can not be
well explained here. The station ex
poets some day TO publish full report
Of these interesting experiments, but
the simple conclusion may now be ac-l

not laterally around the tree trunk.

Granite Strike Settled.

The importance of Barre as the
granite centre of New England has
been more fully realized in the past
few days than ever before. as the set
Element by compromise of the Barre
strikes ended numerous strikes in
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
The Granite Cutters union and the
Manufacturers association agreed
upon hours a day instead of 9, which
is equivalent to an increase in pay per
standard hour Of I. ON 30 10 30 cents
This is an increase in wages Of l6 %
per cent. The men went to work as
usual in Barre Thursday.
There was no controversy over the
number of hours that should cOnsti-
tute a days work, the manufacturers
having conceded eight hours from the
start. The only question was the per
cent Of increase in wages.
Over 1000 men were out on this
strike. The number at Quincy, Mass,
was $500; at Concord, n. H., 400, and
100 at Gloucester. The balance was
at Hallowell and other Maine points,
Connecticut quarries, Westerly, r. l.,
Milford, Mass, and other granite cen-
tiers.
The New England association of
cutters at a meeting at Boston Satur-
day refused to ratify the agreement
made by the Barre branch, which
must now either withdraw from the
association or break its agreement
with the cutters. Barre will without
doubt run its granite works if the other
New Englanders don't like it.

Two Tragic Deaths.

A peculiar suicide was noted in re-
cent New York papers. Frank NJ.
Brady of New York, son OF James
Brady, formerly of Bellows Falls,
committed suicide last October in his
office at Brooklyn after reading a mag
azine article that told of a star at the
base Of the second finger of mans
hand indicating a tendency to suicide.
He read of the star, saw the sign in
his own hand, and putting a revolver
to his right temple, fired. While in "a
Respondent mood he attended the
theatre to see Henry Miller in "The
Only Way" and was much impressed
with the last scene in which the actor,
ascending the steps of the guillotine,
makes this speech: alt is far, far bet
ter thing that do than ] have ever
done. Ii is a far, far better rest
that 90 to than have ever known
Across the top OF the magazine page
on which was the article concerning
the fatal star, Brady wrote, 1.-The
thing ! do now is better thing than
| have ever DONE His wife could
not be reconciled to his death and for
a long time her life and reason were
both despaired of. "'The Only Way
was again advertised TO be given in
Brooklyn, and the incident connected
Herewith brought back all the first
sharpness of her grief and unable TO
bear il any longer she followed her
husband February 10 in a suicidal
death. She retired to her room and
the next morning was found lying on
the floor with gas pouring from all
four Jets of the chandelier.
