| As an assayer few men are better
known in the State than he. soon
after his graduation in 1863 h. enlisted
ana went 10 the front, remaining in
the service of his country until the
war closed. With the spirit Of advcn-
ture and desire for more battles he
entered the field Of journalism ana
continued to do newspaper work for
y years. At the same time he was
doing newspaper work hc managed i'm
some way To find time tu Keep % the
study ot chemistry and 50 we'll vcrscd
ala H. become III this science that he
opened labratory in Portland where
he has since had his headquarters.
Because he has had his headquarters
in Portland. it does not signify by any
means that hc has confined his work
to that place. for he has travelled 50
extensively that there is not a state or
territory in the Union in which he has
not been. And even with this field
h. has extended his research to other
places. having travelled through the
Provinces and the West Indies.
His thorough work ana these extern
sive travels, during which, he has ever
closely followed his favoritc study ana
visited nearly all the leading mines
ana mining centers in the country
have given him a wide reputation in
his profession.
He has also given great deal of
attention to thu study Of bacteriology
and has made a careful study Of
microscopic work. He has for some
time made a careful study Of the
waters Of the western part Of the
State and for that reason probably has
examined more samples Of water from
ola wells than any man in that region.
In spite Of all his study and re-
searches ana travels. he realizes what
a vast field there is before even the
most expert in that line If work and
although he is looked upon by others
as being one Of the foremost in his
line he himself mOdestly says he only
pretends to hang Ia the tail end If the
procession. The finest chemist in the
land" he says. does not know it all"
Through long hours of study, he has
made himself familiar with geology
and litholugY and at the request of
certain parties who Were Interested
spent three months in the CarOinas
examining the gold sections.
But in spite Of all his travels in
other places he believes thoroughly in
the possibilities Of his native State.
In speaking Of that subject he said: Il
wish the people in Maine would wake
up to the fact that our State abounds
in iron pyrites. good deal Of which
carries gold from s. to 500. and that
by a late process 81 worth will pay
to extract"

Augustus Gain in Population.

The population Of Augusta, figuring
on the basis Of the number Of voters
recorded by the registration board. is
a little over 12.050. This is gain Of
about 1000 population since the census
was taken in 1890.
The estimates formed from the regis
trati0n lists are rough but are in ac-
cordance with the manner in which the
population is generally estimated. The
basis on which the calculation is made
is that every voter represents five
people ana as the registration lists
show 2.410 voters. ii may be seen what
the probable population is.
While the figures are approximately
accurate as taken from the regiStra-
tion lists. Yet there is Il proba bility
that there are more voters than are
recorded by the registration board.
since in many Of the wards there was
no attempt to register the full number
Of voters.

Lung Kuro positively cures coughs.

q. w. Townsend has great labor
saving device in his store that has but
lately been introduced. 1t is a pressing
iron, the heat Of which is furnished by
electricity. 1t does away with the old
method of making a coal fire to heat
irons ana thus saves much trouble,
since all that is necessary, is to turn a
switch and, in ten minutes, the iron is
hot enough for use. Mr.. Townsend :
iron weighs 20 pounds, but they are
manufactured in much lighter weights:
also heavier. Between the heated part
Of the iron and the handle is strip
of asbestos which prevents the heat
from coming into the handle. thus do
ing away with 4 holder. Mr.. Townsend
has ordered a regulator. small de-
vice to regulate the current, that a
uniform amount Of heat may be gen
Grated. The invention has been in use
in the larger cities, for some time. but
it is new to Augusta.
