Bangor, Me, Dec. ga jam of an
cfor ice seven miles long ond 10 to 10
feet deep formed in the Penobscot, Fri
day night, completely blocking the
river from Bangor to Hampden Mar
rows, and great anxiety is felt as to re-
suits that may ensue.
The river was frozen over, Dec. I,
and then. Dec. Is, was cleared of ice by
great flood, so that the prospect for a
fine crop was excellent. In the past 2i
hours however. great quantities of an
chor ice has formed and the river is
now choked with the mass. which III
places reaches to the bottom.
The American Ice Co. has tugs at
work trying to break the jam, but thus
far nothing has been accomplished and
more tugs have been called for from
Boston. Dynamite is of no avail in dis
| lodging anchor ice, and should the tugs
| fail to clear the river there can be no
| ice crop here this winter. which would
mean loss. all told, of more than
| $500, 900.
| The fear Is also expressed that should
| the jam not be broken now it will have
so effectively choked the narrows by
|
on Bangor. flooding the city, as was the
case in 1916, under exactly similar con-
ditiOnst
The Quantity of logs that were carried
out by the recent flood is now closely
estimated at 100000 feet, valued at
about $4,000 A careful count of all
the logs saved and held on the shores
between Bangor and Winterport shows
the number thus secured to be only 52SS.
or little more than 100000 feet.

been picked up at various points in

ed out to sea. and as the expense of
towing these that have been picked up
hack would be as much as the logs are
worth, the whole 3.50o.000 feet may be

A Strange Fire.

On the night Of March 81, 1916, about
three hours after sunset a monster
bright light arose out of the Adratic
sea and passed from east-northeast to
the west Of southwest, crossing over
Italy in vertical line about half way
between Riminl and Leghorn. Various
estimates as to the height and size Of
the body We're made. One scientist,
with amusing eXactness, declared that
it was SO miles high at Calmers. At
all places near It's course a Kissing
noise like that of skyroeket was
plainly heard. AT Leghorn the sound
is said to have been like that of a
large cannon, quickly dying away IN
til it sounded much like a cart running
over cobblestones. Estimates of its
size seem to have been as wild as those
respecting its height Some accounts
say that it was as large as a house.
lie Cat says that sit was a good half
mile in circumference" Bohn. who
has written very readable account
Of "The great meteor or strange fire
of March 81, 1916" estimates that it
was "about onehalf mile by the small
err diameter" which would surely make
it terrifying object to behold.

The smithy Settled 1t.

One of the candidates at an English
election was announced to address a
meeting in Yorkshire village well
known to horse dealers and breeders as
the center Of district noted for its
hackneys and roadsters
The candidate was an eloquent speak
er, but for some reason or other he
failed to make any great impression on
the horse loving farmers,
However, the local blacksmith came
to the rescue by summing up the re-
spective merits of the rival candidates
in the following laconic little speech;
'Friends," he remarked, "this Teller
(the candidate) rides a 'oss. Tother
Teller rides a morty car! You breeds
losses, an l shoes 'em, so wot is theer
to argy aboot?"
In such& district and before such an
audience the brief, businesslike speech
of the blacksmith was not without eff
feet, for it touched the pockets as well
as the hearts Of those present.

Cash of the Ancients.

The little brass cash, the Chinese
coins, are the lineal descendants, in
unbroken order, of the bronze ak of
remote Celestial ancestors. From the
regular Ratchet to the modern coin one
can trace a distinct, if somewhat bro
ken, succession, SO that it is impossible
to say where the one leaves off and the
other begins. Here is how this curious
pedigree first worked itself out: In
early times, before coin was invented.
barter was usually conducted between
producer and consumer with metal i'm

at the present day.
At first the Chinese in that I'M
sophisticated age were content to use
real hatchets for this commercial pur-
pose, but after time, with the pro-

a man wanted half a hatchet's worth

Fish That Change Color.

1t has been found that certain
prawns, common along the coasts of
England, change their color at least
twice every "a hours in order to har-
monte with the stronger or weaker
light prevailing near the surface or in
the deeper water. AS evening APP
proaches these fish lose their distinctive
day colors, and all assume transpar-
ent azure hue. The change begins with
reddish glow, followed by a green
tinge which gradually melts into blue
The day and night change has become
so habitual that specimens kept in per
petual light or perpetual darkness new.
