Maine Water Powers.

The State of Maine has two internal
questions of great Importance which
are receiving renewed attention. For
years it has stood pre-eminent in the
value OF its forest resources; with prop
er attention and development it's
water resources will prove no less
valuable and important.
The State is fortunate in possessing
combination of physical features
which have produced an unusually
large number of good water power
streams, namely, an elevated and thick
ly wooded ridge or highland in the
Central and Northern portion, several
thousand feet above the sea level, from
which the descent is rapid, and also, a
very important feature, the presence
of large number of lakes situated on
the higher lands which may easily be
made to act as storage reservoirs to
regulate and keep constant the flow Of
the streams.
Many thousands of horse power are
already utilized on the Kennebec, Pc
nObscOt and Androscoggin Rivers, but
the opportunities for further develop
ment are still great.
OF late years interest in the use of
water as cheap power has very much
increased, and considerable attention
has been given to it's greater utilization
To this end engineers have urged the
systematic investigation of the streams
to establish true records of their flow
and discharge, and to determine the
possibilities and cost of storage in the
upland lakes and the raising of their
waters by the construction Of dams.
Particular activity has been shown by
those now using power on the Kenne-
bee River, who last spring placed
$500 in the hands of the U. s. Geologi-
cal Survey to conduct measurements of
flow of that stream and to consider the
storage possibilities in Moosehead Lake.
To this amount the Survey added like
sum and furnished men to complete the
work.
As matter Of general State interest
and advantage it is desirable that the
other watersheds within its area should
receive similar study.

Brilliants.

And let the morrow rest
In his beloved hand;
His good is better than our best,
AS we shall understand,
II trusting Him, who faileth never,
We rest on Him, today, forever.
Frances Havergal
Give me the gospel of the fields and woods
The sermons written in the book of books :;
The sweet communion of the things of earth
Fresh with the warm baptism of the sun.
Give me the otfertory of bud and bloom.
The perfect caroling of happy birds
Give me the creed of one of Gods fair DAYS
Wrought in the beauty of it's lOvelineSs;
And then, the benediction of the stars,
His eloquent ministers of the night.
A rose to the living is more
Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead;
In filling loves infinite store
A rose to the living is more
If graciously given before
The hungerng spirit has fled;
A rose to the living is more
Than sumptuOus wreathS to the dead
Nixon Waterman, in Overland Monthly
All me, how dull is nook,
Though as snug as snug can be,
With just ones self, and book,
And curling arm of the sea!

Bring us the airs of hills and forests,
The sweet aroma of birch and pine;
Give us watt of the north wind laden
With SWeetbriar OdOrS and breath of kline.

A Pumpkin Pie Shortage.

There is trouble in the country,
There is trouble in the town,
And It's just the sort of trouble
That won't at our bidding down;
For the grangers sadly tell us
That the pumpkin crop is shy,
That means there'll be shortage
In the toothsome pumpkin pie.
Many autumns has this Wand
Been feature of each feast,
Tickling palates of all eaters,
From the highest to the least.
1t has held a place of honor
Next the famed Thanksgiving bird,
And on all occasions festal
Everywhere its praise was heard.
We began to think about it
Very early in the spring;
Oft we talked about the pleasure
mat the autumn days would bring.
Many times onr mouths have watered
AS we conjured up the scene
Of our teeth SO slowly closing
On the pumpkin pie between.
But alas! for expectations
VI what autumn had in store,
ana alas ! for plans OF feasting
Based on pumpkin pie galore,
For the crop has badly fooled us,
And our sorrow is profound
AS we face this pumpkin shortage
Not enough to go around.
VI the cause there's no use talking
That is neither here nor there
We're confronted by conditions,
And for theories don't care,
We are troubled by this shortage,
ana were thinking, as we sigh,
Llfe'S not SO much worth living
When one can't get pumpkin pie.
