NANtR0tOrB Dread NOT wln0 000 W0V0o
but Explosions.
Boiler explosions are the terror Of
the sea-faring man." said an old-tims
desp-water captain. Such a thing is
bad enough on dry land. but imagine a
catastrophe of that kind at sea! In
80 cases out of 100 it means the abso-
lutte wiping out Of the craft itself and
every soul on board.
"The average landsman would be
greatly shocked in looking over the
maritime records to see how many
vessels disappear each year and leave
absolutely NO clue to their fate. They
run we'll up to the 100 mark, and such
mystery is not to be explained away
by storms. A Chinese typhoon may
swoop down like lightning out of a
clear sky and tear ship to pieces.
but some floating wreckage is sure
to tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on
the contrary, will blow a hole as big
an railroad tunnel right through the
center Of the hull, and the stricken
vessel simply goes down like a shot
There Is no time to unfasten boat
from the davits or cut loose spar.
"In the opinion OF seamen. this Is
the story OF at least 80 per cent Of tho
ships that leave port and are never
heard Of again. Luckily, the modern
system of marine boiler inspection is
extremely strict and thorough, but It
is impossible to absolutely prevent
carelessness and fraud, and often
enough, no doubt. the fault lies with
the engineer.
There is an old story Of a drunken
Scotchman who mistook the thermom-
eter for the steam gauge and cussed
out the stokers because he couldn't
get the pressure above 80. That yarn
will hardly hold water, but I've seen
cases almost as bad. am glad to say,
however, that during the past ten
years there has been a steady diminu-
tion in the number of vessels which
'mysteriously disappear That is due,
beyond all question. to the increased
stringency OF boiler inspection. and
the greater strictness of examinations
before a license is issued to engineers
Nevertheless. there is still consider
able room for improvement in both
branches"

co TO THE COUNTRY.
About Fifty Guests Enjoy the Hos
pitality of the Kennedy Home
On Fruit Ridge.

When people, who live 10 town and
seldom get outside the city limits, do get
an opportunity to get out in the country
they turn themselves loose 30 to speak
and 20 in for good time.
Last night the residents along the
Fruit Ridge road were aware OF the fact
that at least portion Of the town peo-
pie we're out in the country for gooo
time. About o'clock, three big wagons
and number OF carriages loaded with
ladies and gentlemen, started from the
city for the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Kennedy, on first Fruit Ridge.
The company was composed OF the
memb Of Woodcraft, both the Wood
men and the Circle, and their visit to the
Kennedy home was a complete surprise
to its occupants.
The refreshments, which the self-in-
yited guests never fail to provide, con-
sisted in this instance of an old fashioned
oyster supper, and each one had been
reou ested to provide his own bowl and
spoon.
The social side OF these two orders has
grown to be equal to that Of any like Or
ganization in the state. P;of. Wise,
state organizer for the WoC .osn OF the
World, was among the gueE.s last night
and he said that nowhere in the state
had he seen the spirit of unity and fra
terpity exhibited bteween the two orders
to such an extent as it WAS last night.
The ride home was one Of the pleasant
parts of the evening. The night was de-
lightful and everyone was feeling in fine
spirits in spite OF the fact that it was
long past the midnight hour.

The man who keeps the British en-
pire in line with the rest Of the civil
lized nations stands paramount among
the worlds statesmen. On him, more
than any other man, perhaps, depends
the peace Of millions. In his keeping
are the interests of one-Quarter of the
human race. No empire has SO many
vulnerable points as his; no mans
acts so nearly affect the. empires safe
ty. The words he speaks, the things
he does, may rebound for good or evil
long after he has gone and his name
is forgotten. 1t is, indeed, hardly an
exaggeration to say that the British
foreign office is the guardian OF the
peace of the world. An indiscreet
word, careless act, and there is not
a corner Of the earth, however re-
mote, where some powder magazine
might not explode. 1t Is not thing
to be lightly talked of, this guiding

POWER FROM suNsEAMs.
An Apparatus Devised That Produces

An Apparatus Devised That froooCos
10000 Degrees of Heat.
Many a person every day sees the
most powerful engine ever made,
without knowing it. Not wheel goes
round anywhere in the world that Ii
not driven, indirectly, by the sun. 1t
furnished the coal used in the steam
engine and provides the stream that
drive the water wheel. Without 1t
there would be no plants, and there
fore no horses, no oxen, no living crea-
ture of any kind.
Great inventors have tried to find a
way to use the suns energy directly.
Everybody has heard how Archimedes
set fire to an enemy's fleet by focusing
sun-rays on the wooden hulls by
means of piece of glass. Ericsson,
the man who invented the Monitor,
made small engine that was set in
motion by sunbeams. William Calver
of Washington has just invented an
apparatus that is said to produce TO-
900 degrees of heat by means of focused
sunshine. The greatest heat ever pro-
duced heretofore was 5000 degrees,
which was obtained with an electric
arc. A number of mirrors are ar
ranged in the new machine SO that
the rays falling on each one are all
focused at a single point. Thick glass
and tough Russian iron are said to
melt like wax under the focused rays.
The apparatus will 1t is said, bore q
dozen holes in soaking wet plank
In as many secondj. 1t might, per-
haps. be used to advantage in smelt-
ing ores. Its use in connection with
the steam engine would be in produc-
ing steam without the use Of coal.

impressed upon all them the fact that
he was thoroughly In sarnes and meant

much taken back, as the prohibitory

was universally needed and as q result
the city has been ''dry" ton light.
In Biddeford, the saloons were closed
on account OF the holiday and only for
this fact, they, too. would have received
a like warning from Sheriff Fogg. The
new sheriff assumed the duties OF his
ofIice with the coming in of the new yesr,
and his most intimate friends were not
aware that he had decided upon such
summary and radical action. County
Attorney Matthews, who Is here In atten.

no previous knowledge OF the sheriti's
Intentions. Ths latter, he said. was an
energetic, courageous man OF his word
and whatever he said he would do, was
sure to bs done.
The county attorney further declared
that he would support him in the work
or prosecuting law breakers to the best
Of his ability.
Sheriff Fogg said tonight that he was
elected under pledge to no one, but with
the sole end in view OF securing strict
compliance with the law In York county,
and since election he had travelled
through the county visiting all the prin-
cipal cities and towns and he was con-
yincsd that public sentiment demanded
the strict enforcement of the laws. 1t
