A resident of greater Portland has a
ducklins that has four perfectly formed
legs and feet. 1t is something of a
curiosity and is attracting considerable
attention out in the Deering district
In these days of rapid travel it may
be that the ducks are realizing the
need of greater speed in swimming
through the water. This duck being
furnished with four web feet ought to
swim about twice as fast as the Old
style duck. In fact, it will, perhaps be
among ducks what torpedo boats are
among the regular sailing craft. In n
trial of speed this duck will be matched
against any swimming bird of its ton
mage and draft in America.
The prospects of big pulp mill in
southeastern Maine have vanished. The
available water powers at Ellsworth
and admirably located for some indus
tries, are not adapted to the needs of
such mill. The amount of available
pulp wood in that section is compare
lively small. The largest owners of
soft wood timberland are using il in
their own manufacture, and others do
not want the land stripped. as it would
be for pulp wood.
The leading feature for Maine read
ers in the New England magazine for
July and one that must be of absorb
ing interest to all who love to read of
the early days of New England is the
illustrated article on Ancient Pow
nalboro and her Daughters by
Charles +. Allen. The article occupies
20 pages and has SO excellent half-tone
| illustrations. No man better fitted
| than Mr.. Allen could be found for the
| telling the story of this section of
Maine which was the scene of SO many
| important and picturesque events in
| colonial times and in the early part of
last century. The early history of
| Dresden, Alma, Wiscasset, Edgecomb,
and Perkins is told in a vivid style
| that reads almost like romance. MI.
Allen writes not only as one thoroughly
informed on his subject, as he has had
every opportunity of being, but also
with a sympathy that warns the dust
of the dead past into life again. Too
| little has been written on early Maine
history. and the world in general has
attached too little Importance to the

Alarm, in Cape Sosvn.

Sir Alfred Miner, British high com
missioner of Cape Colony, in reviewing
1900 men of the new volunteer force
at Cape Town last Saturday, made an
address to the officers which indicates
that he at least does not underestimate
the seriousness Of British affairs in
South Africa. After complimenting
the force for excellent work already
done in stemming the Boer invasion"
he said in part: ut has been said that

bers of depredations in this district re-
Gently. Young Bertrand was Is years

their fathers ranch, when they were
attacked The youth was killed by
the animals in trying to protect the
life of his sister, and the latter expir-
ed from injuries and fright shortly at
ter she was carried home. The rescu-
ing party arrived in time to drive Off

Caxofion Reform.

The general cause of local govern
ment in Great Britain is vitally con-
cerned in efforts which will be made
in the coming session OF Parliament
to procure legislation authorizing a
direct tax upon ground values for local
improvements.
Three bills will be presented for this
purpose. The first, which was before
the last parliament. will be promoted
by the city of Glasgow, and according
to its title will provide For the taxa
ton for local purposes of ground
values in burgs in Scotland" The
second has been formulated under the
instructions of conference of London
taxing authorities and provides for the
separate assessment of land and the
rating for local purposes of land values
in England and Wales" The third has
been prepared after much deliberation
by the London county council "to pro-
vide for the rating of site values in the
administrative city of London"

100000 have been photographed. In

of this magnitude perhaps 100, 900 600

On the Interoceanic railway of Mexi-

ties of jarrah wood imported from
Australia for this purpose. The jarrah
wood is obtained from one of the lare
est trees of the forests of Australia
which grows to an average height Of
200 feet, and is about four feet in
diameter at the trunk. There is usual
ly an interval of $50 feet to the first
branch, or in the case of tree of ex-
treme hight, such as 5000 feet. az
much as $50 feet. These trees furnish
timber which is sound in every respect

Two Yankees Find a

They have struck coal just outside

it. Hugh McKeever and G. A. Burgly
Of Pittsburg, being sent over to the
Exposition to show how Americans dig
artesian wells. erected their plant at
Vincennes and began digging. The
home company in whose names they
operated had not forbidden them to
strike coal. At first they hoped to
find water: 1t would be handsome
thing to present to whole Paris quar-
tier a supply gratis. Coal came in
stead. so much the better" re-
marked Hugh McKeever and G. A.
Burgly, to whom striking coal, oil and
natural gas is a matter of routine. But

ernment's bill. which. it is argued, will
drive religious associations from
France, is couched in general terms,
but the third section, if enforced,
would be mortal to the orders which
flourish most. 1t provides % that no
association between Frenchmen and
foreigners can be- formed without a
state charter; (2) that associations
whose directors are foreigners or live
abroad and associations whose mem

evening before the American Statisti
cal association. in which he cited fig
ures to show that the condition of
the workingman in the United States
has greatly improved during the last
half century. He proved by four diff

value of wages at present is greater
than that of the wages of fifty years
ago. The money received for days
labor will now buy more in the way of
food, clothing and shelter than at any
previous time. But the wage-earner

that these Americans in the Park of

the idea OF demonstrating the value
