Especial Washington letter.

"HERE is a popular expression,
"Once a man, twice a child"
having reference Go the petu-
liant, %querulous second childhood of
the very aged. The brain of an
anonymous poet coined a more COM
~prehensive expression for the entire
race: "Men are only boys grown
tall, aud hearts don't change much,
after ALL"
They whose lives are directed in
to paths of such prosperity that they
may have a couple of weeks or
months of vacation every year spend
many happy hours planning the out
ings which are doubly enjoyable be-
cause OF the pleasures of anticipa-
ton. And their ideas of pleasure
are as different as are the provincial
isms Of their speech and manner
The people of New England have
their times for camping out in the
dense forests, or of spending their
leisure days along the s~eashore,
where clam bakes are almost daily
feasts of which they never grow
weary. Going to the coastwlse
places is also a fad with the people
of contiguous states, in small num-
bers, as compared with their popula-
lions. In the west and northwest
the principal purpose seems to be to
'go somewhere" no matter where, so
long as it is away from home and
gives a restful change to tired
bodies and weary brains. The peo-
pie of the southern states have a fad
of hitchlng up teams and taking
families to the mountains for camp
ing out periods. The folks with
wealth enough to travel and enjoy
all of the beauties and o
ders OF this wonderful imperi-
al country usually turn their
backs upon Yellowstone park,
the Nosemites and all other of the
grandeurs of nature in America, and
pack themselves off TO Europe, where
they are smilingly and hilariously
welcomed by sycophants who are
after their money.
4 few ~workingmen of the national
capital with a little time for recrea-
tion recently spent their playtime sail
ing down the Potomac river and out
into Chesapeake bay. 1t was only a lit
tie bit of an outing, but ten days on
salt water, sometimes in salt water,
and all the time, day and night, breath
ing the air so impregnated with
oceans virtues, sutficed to invigorate
and strengthen everyone in the party.
From the time of heaving anchor I'M
til its final casting there was a con-
slant study of history, albeit the OBJ
ject lessons were easily learned as in a
kindergarten, one of the boatmen
having been familiar with story and
legend of the river for more than two
generations. The start was made from
Easby's point, where stands the old
Braddock rock, now inclosed by an
iron railing, the work of the Colonial
Danes. 1t is not now an impressive
sight. The river has been filled in all
around it,. The waters of the stream
had receded, leaving the historic rock
in a marsh. Not only did Braddock
land here, but upon this rock George
Washington landed when he came to
examine a site for the future capital.
When the waters were around it and
trees sheltered il the rock was as ar
tistic as il was attractive, because of
its history: The British troops sailed
up the Potomac in barges until they

Measure, lights Pressure.

Recently Prot. Lebedew, of Moscow,
made an experimental demonstration
of the pressure of light. He employs
a radiometer, using a larger and
completely exhausted bulb,
from which the heating effect, which
is the principal agent in moving the
Crookes vanes is excluded. When the
light falls upon the vanes they are
driven by it, and the intensity of the
pressure is thus revealed.-Science.

The s. d. Warren Paper Co. proposes
to erect a mill at Gilley's point in the
immediate future for the purpose of
cutting poplar timber into four foot
sticks for shipment to the company
mills in Gardiner and Westbrook. This
mill will employ from Is to 20 men. The
company proposes to buy all the poplar
timber cut in Kennebec waters. float
it to this new mill and cut it up ready
for manufacture into pulp and then
into paper. This new industry, while
not so extensive as was anticipated
when the land at Gilley's point was
bargained for few months ago, will
nevertheless be welcomed by all our
citizens as a substantial addition to the
city's manufacturing enterprises.
