The abandonment of the John r. Lowell
bicycle factory, giving employ uent,
as 1t did, to hundreds OF worthy
artifcers, was a hard blow to south
Portland and to Portland as well. 1t
will be remembered that under the stroke
of the auotioneer S hammer the plant
was sold not long ago, and the purchaser
has held 1t in the market as an inviting
opportunity for the promoters OF various
Industries, such as automobiles, eto..
which are springing up with surprising
rapidity in various sections of the coun-
try. Since the time or the assignee's sale
rumors have been widespread that the
valuable plant would fall into the hands
of such and such companies, whose rep
resentatives have from time to time come
TO South Portland to inspect the prem
1ses, but nothing up to yesterday had
taken such tangible shape as to be wor-
thy OF special note.
Yesterday, President L. W. Hyde and
others representing the Eash Iron WORKS,
in company with j. +. Proctor OF Port
land, visited the old Lowell plant with
a view OF esta Dllshing branch Of the

at once that il the result OF his visit

Plant Life and the Sunbeam.

Even in the brightest room plants are
never of so rich green as those grown
out of doors. In dark cellar no chic
rophyl is produced at ALL Every one
has seen potatoes growing there, with
their long attenuated stalks and little
white leaves, which exist but for a
time and when the reserve material in
the tuber is used up wither away be-
cause they have no light. To produce
chlorophyl the light must be at least
of sufficient intensity that this page
may be easily read by it, and to act as
reducing agent it must be very con-
siderably stronger.
Every one has learned by sad ex-
perience how impossible 1t is to keep
plants in their rooms for any length
of time, and the reason is that the light
is not bright enough, and what there Is
does not last long enough to produce
the necessary quantity of food material
to support life. There is another fatal
thing to the growth OF plants indoors
viz the dryness Of the air-and this
can only be overcome by covering over
the plant with a glass shade As
plants die from want of light, so, too,
there are some which die from too
much. Many of the MOSES which
cover damp shady walls and banks
with their soft covering of green vel
vet die from too great an exposure to
sunlight.-GOod Words.

BATTLES OF NATURE.


Unceasing Struggles Which End In
Survival of Fittest.
We read the tablets of long ago
which the geologist has deciphered for
us, and we find them an endless story
of battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological
horizons have come out of great tribu-
lation. The tilobites and stone lilies
of the silurian period, the gigantic club
moss and futed sigillarians of the coal
age, the enormous ammonites of the
jurassic and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and majestic deer forms of
the tertiary era are magnates of the
times and masterpieces of the struggle.
They have been redeemed at great
price, even of a thousand species and
tens of thousands of individuals who
fell short Of the typical fitness and

called out loudly to the justice:
"Shudge! Two shentlemans und a

People Who Want to See Greenland
Must Get a Royal Permit.
Greenland is governed in a grand
motherly way by Denmark; but, as it
consists of a group of colonies which
would not under any circumstances at
tract many tourists or traders, no out
slider complains of the exclusiveness of
the Danish authorities. Trade always
has been and still is monopolized by
the state, and only government vessels
are allowed to sail in Greenland wa
ters. For foreign travellers also Green
land is closed country unless the trav-
eler In question has beforehand OBJ
tanned the rare distinction of gaining
the permission of the Danish govern
ment.
The monopoly of the trade is said to
protect the Greenlander from being de-
ceived by INSCRIPTIONS merchants. The
administration settles fixed price both
for the goods the Greenlanders pur-
chase and for the products they sell.
In this way all are treated in the same
manner, and the business being car
IlSu Ou ny lHc Sldte is guarantee
that the natives are not imposed upon.
Furthermore, the members of the adj
ministration are enjoined to take care
that the natives do not leave them
selves short of produce by selling more
than they can dispense with, so that
they are destitute of needful food and
clothing when the slack time arrives.
The native Greenlander never has been,
neither is he now, able to purchase a
single drop of spirits from the admin
istration.
The exchange of goods between
Greenland and Denmark is, as a rule,
carried on exclusively by means of the
nine vessels belonging to the Green
land company - viz, five briggs, three
barks and a small steamer having a
total register of about 1000 tons net.
Several of these vessels, which are
suitable for sailing through the drift
ice, make two voyages a year and the
steamer, as a rule, three voyages

The report of The Grand Fraternity
for the year 1900 furnishes splendid
showing. The membership increased
over GO per cent. during the year, and
the reserve fund increased over 30 per
cent. The death rate under the Ac-
tuaries table of mortality, based on
the average age of the association
would have been 8 40 per thousand,
while the actual death rate expert
enced by The Grand Fraternity was
but $40 per thousand, or a reduction
of so per cent. The average age of
the membership at the beginning of
the year 1900 was 80 years, and at the
end of the year the average age was
but 36 years, or q reduction OF three
years. The average age of the new
members admitted during the year
1899 was 81 and the average age of
the members admitted during the
year 1900 was 30 years, or a reduction
of two years in the average age of the
growth. The reserve fund securities
increased in value over seven per
cent. i'll excess of their cost to The
Grand Fraternity, and earned over
five per cent income during the year.
The keynote to the annual report for
the year is increase in membership and
assets, and decrease in average age and
death rate. None of the insurance
companies have shown better results
during the past year. and very few of
the Fraternal associations have ac-
complished as much as The Grand
Fraternity.
