Buried Pine Forest
a Profitable Find

The collecting of what is called rain
bow wood is comparatively new in
dustry in Maine.
Though the jewellers along the sea-
board have known for years that drift
wood picked up from salt water gave
out iridescent 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 into 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 price advanced
from $40 to $25 cord, Boston chem
list grew rich from inventing 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 farmer,
who sold considerable driftwood in
former years, went to the salt mead
ows 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 eleven hours Mr. Raymond will

Thaddeus e. Peck is the theist who
