DANIEL WEBSTER'S FARM.
How the Statesman Came to Purchase
the Estate.

HOW the Statesman Came to Purchase
the Estate.
1t was about the year 1880 that Dan
lei Webster was driving from the Cape
to Boston in chaise with his wife.
Going through Marshfield by the road
nearest the shore. he was attracted by
the beauty of this locality. lie stopped
at the John Thomas residence for en-
tertainment, and he inquired of Mr..
Thomas II he would be willing to sell
his farm and house. 1t Is said he had
often stopped there, and there was
warm friendship between them.
Mr. Thomas family had all been roy
alists and left for Nova Scotia during
the revolutionary war. Afterward they
returned. but part of their estate was
contiscated and the remainder had di-
minished In value and money was
scarce with them. Mr.. Thomas did not
take long to consider. but named his
price. which Mr. Webster accepted, say
ing the family could continue to live
there the same as ever.
This agreement was entered into, and
Mr.. Webster and his family came and
went ut their pleasure each year, the
pleasantest relations existing between
the two families. When deaths and
marriages broke up the Thomas family,
Mr.. Webster somewhat enlarged the
house. building library addition,
which his daughter Julia assisted in de-
signing. He also beautified the grounds
greatly and enlarged the farm till he
owned over 1,500 acres. This absorbed
the entire adjoining Winslow estate.
About half a mile away, down long
grass-grown lane, Is the hallowed spot
known as the Winslow and Webster
burying-grou Here lie many whose
history we read In a nations eyes,"
also few who had neighboring farms,
and others whose interest In the spot
made 1t wished-for burial place, Ade-
laide Phillips and the late Stephen NJ.
Allen being among the number. In the
center is the Winslow lot, inclosed by
an iron railing. Near by stands hand
some monument erected to the memory
of the first settlers, those whose head
stones had become broken or effaced.
The Webster lot contains the remains
of the entire Webster family. Simple
white marble stones mark the graves
Of each member of the family. To this
spot was borne the body of Daniel Web

Uses Of Liquid Air.

AS there Is reason to believe that a
syndicate has been formed for the pur-
pose Of floating limited company os-
tensibly for the commercial utilization
of liquid air, one or two observations
on this interesting substance may be
timely.
In the Judgment Of the most promin-
ent authorities on the subject, the COM
mercial use of liquid air Is not an eco
nomic possibility. 1t Is true that large
number Of suggestions have been made
pointing to Its adaptability for different
purposes. 1t has been proposed as an
explosive, and liquid-air cartridges
have actually been used with indiffer-
ent results for blasting. Mr.. Tesla has
been credited with Its employment for
increasing electrical conductiyity, and
thereby transporting electric energy for
thousands of miles without loss. Liquid
air, too, has been suggested as mo-
tive power. a preservative, caustlc for
medical purposes, and for variety of
other singular employments.
1t has to be borne in mind, however,
that liquid air for power purposes costs
200 times as much as steam, requiring
200 degrees (FahrenheiD Of frost for its
production, and that In any case it Is
expensive to make and most difficult Of
preservation. No doubt 1t excited great
hopes OH its entry into the world as a
manufactured product, but the better
informed now regard 1t as destined to
relapse into the position of mere
scientific curiosity.-London Express.
