to Paris and investigated the title and
came back home, on an expenditure of
only $4,000. 1t is said the President

dustry in Maine, says the New York
Sun. Though the jewellers along the
seaboard have known for years that
driftwood picked up from salt water
gave out ridescent tints when burned
in open CRATES they attached no value
to the coloring of the flames until the
rich summer visitors came down East
and changed the picking of driftwood
from an occupation akin unto idleness
into a profitable calling. For five years
the whole coast line of Penobscot Bay
has been secured in quest of wood, and
when the supply grew scarce and the
prices advanced from $40 to SIS a cord.
a Boston chemist grew rich from in
venting a powder which, when burned
with dry wood, yielded colors nearly as
bright as the genuine wood from the
sea. This fall Emery Bowden, a far
mer, who sold considerable driftwood
in former years, went to the salt
meadows at the foot of his field and
began to dig his years supply of muck
which was used as bedding for his
stock and for house-banking. When
he had excavated a hole about ten feet
deep he came to flooring of great pine
trees, which had been imbedded in the
peat for ages The limbs had rotted
away and the bark and sapwood had
gone, but the dry heart of the trees
was as sound as in life. Kindling a
fire about a log of this wood Bowden
found that it gave out very brilliant
hues of indigo and green, showing that
the aged wood was filled with salts of
iodine and chlorine. No sooner had
he made this discovery than he stop
| ped digging much and went to mining
rainbow wood. He loaded a schooner
with cut wood and sent IL to his Bos-
| ton patrons. who paid him s22 a cord
for the cargo and asked for more.
| Since then Bowden has hired all the
men who are willing 10 work and is
/ digging out the trunks in his fossil
| forest and selling them at fancy prices
/ The deposit OF pine trees lies between
/ the clay subsOil and the overgroWth OF
4 peat and is fully six feet in depth
