MASONS MEET.

Successful District Convention-GOod
Work and Bright Speeches.
The sixth annual masonic convention
Of the lodges OF the twenty first district
was held at Odd Fellows hall in this city
on Friday afternoon and evening OF last
week. About 200 out -of-town Masons
were present.
The delegation not only included repre-
seDtatives from the lodges of the twenty
first district, but also members of the
order from ell parts OF the State, and from
Boston In one direction, and Halifax, N.
s., In another.
The convention was called to order at
Q 80 by d. d. G. M. A. B. Hutchins, of
Orland, and was opened with prayer by
Rev. David Kerr.
Mr.. Hutchins made brief address in
which he mentioned the purposes of ma
sonic conventions, and the instruction
and understanding Of the fine points Of
the degree work which the members re-
ceived in them, as we'll as the pleasure
derived by these meetings of friends and
brothers. He also took occasion to thank
the members of the various lodges for the
cordiality OF their reception of him ON
visits to the m during the past two years
In which he "had governed the craft",
which, he said, contained the pleasantest
associations of his life.
After speaking to the convention, Mr..
Hutchins called upon W. M. Albert
Jacobson and the corps of officers of Mt.
Desert lodge, No 140, to exemplify the
entered apprentice degree. Following
the work in this degree, w. M. Samuel
M oore and the officers OF fremont lodge,
No. n, were called upon to exemplify the
fellowcraft degree AT $50 the craft
were "cailed from labor to refreshment".
and dinner Was served in the banquet
halt.
After an hour or two of social chat the
convention v as again called to order, and
w. M E. j. TrusselI and the officers of
Bar Harbor lodge, No. 1856, were called
upon to exempify the master mason
degree.
After the work by the Bar Har Dor lodge,
the degrees were discussed at length,
and the three lodges were complimented
on the WORK, it being open to very little
criticism.

East Side Grammar school.

An interesting exhibition was given
yesterday afternoon in Manning hall by
the pupils of the East side grammar
school in commemoration of Washing
ton. 1t was originally intended for a
Friday afternoon exercise, but 1t was
found that there was not sufficient room
in the schoolbouse.
Through the courtesy of the Masons,
Manning hall was secured, chairs were
furnished from the lodge rooms and by
Main street merchants.
The stage was tastefuly trimmed with
flags, and the beautiful picture OF Wash

from soil we understand why corn
grows so well in these States.
King Corn requires other things
besides rich, mellow soil, such as an
adequate rainfall and a proper
amount of sunshine and warmth; but
certain it is that you can draw a
line around the worlds greatest ORR
patch, enclosing Northern Mis-
souri,, Eastern Kansas and Nebraska,
Iowa and Northern Illinois, and
there is where the nations surplus
corn is grown, and the soil from
which it grows is glacial and allu-
vial, made in past ages for this very
purpose-who knows?
What a wonderful creation we live
in. The works of the Creator become
more wondrous and awe-inspiring as
we delve into the mysteries of the
universe with the mind He has given
us to think with; a mind at once so
feeble and so powerful-powerful in
the light of what we have discovered
and crystallized into human history,
weak and puny confronting the I'M
solved problems of the Infnite.-H.

World.

The truck crop in this section was
a great success. The prices were
good. It has brought at least a half
million dollars to this county. All
crops in this section of the State
are good. Corn, cotton and tobacco

them in the bin on top of the wheat;
then cover the entire bin over close
so that the vapor or gas cannot es-
cape. The vapor produced being
heavier than the air, will penetrate
to the bottom of the bin and kill
every living thing in the bin. After
treating in this way, the wheat can
be examined, and if found to yet be
infected, which case is hardly like.
ly, the process should be repeated.
"Most people also have a wrong
idea about the time at which their
wheat should be threshed. There is
an old idea that threshing should be
put off as long as possible. This is
exactly wrong. It should be done
as quickly as possible. This is true,
because the weey1 will then have
less time to get into the wheat, it
getting in before the wheat is
threshed. The history Of the weeV1,
when known, will make it quite clear
that early threshing is advisable.
"The moth appears during May
and June and passes to the fields,
where the female deposits its eggs
on the standing wheat either singly
or in clusters of 90 to 80. These
eggs are red in color and hatch In
from four to seven days, when the
minute caterpillars burrow into the
wheat kernel and feed within it.
Upon reaching maturity the cater
pillars have left little of the grain
kernel except the outside shells.
About this time it spins a silken o
coon, transforms to a chrysalis and
a moth energies from a small hole IN
the shell a few days later, the entire
period from egg to adult embracing
in summer about four or five weeks.
The female then deposits her eggs
for another brood, and in this man
ner several generations are produced
in a year, the number depending on
the condition of temperature as be-
fore mentioned.
"It is almost impossible to prevent
infestation, as the moth lays its eggs
on the standing grain in the fields.
The infestation, however, can be
greatly reduced by harvesting and
thrashing as soon as possible after
the grain has reached maturity and
by this method the introduction of
the moth into the granary can be
practically prevented. The storing
of the grain in stacks in the fields or
NOW permits the breeding to go on
unmolested, therefore early thresh-
ing is advised. However, when the
moth is known to exist in the gran
airy the treatment I have mentioned
will kill it."-Monroe Journal.

Time to Thresh Wheat and How to Kill
WeeviIs.

A Journal reporter who occasion
all goes over to the Henderson Roll
Ter Mill and talks with Mr.. J. E.
Henderson, the manager, because
he is an interesting talker in his
line, the other day requested Mr..
Henderson to give some informa-
ton about the saving and caring for
wheat after it is made, and especial
ly about preventing the depredations
of the weevil. He gave not only a
remedy for the weevil, but also an
important point on t~hreshing. He
said:
"It is a well known fact that sew
eral thousand bushels of fairly good
wheat, if it had been properly taken
care of, was lost or ruined, for bread
making purposes, in Union County
year before last. A large portion
was rHined by being threshed and
stored away when> it was wet or
damp, in old dirty barrels, boxes or
bins, and allowed to remain there to
must and rot; while another portion
that was in very fair condition at
the time it was threshed was stored
in large quantities in damp, insult
able places and was ruined by black
weevil.'
"N6w, don't have your grain
threshed when it is damp or wet.
Don't store it in the smokehouse in
old dirty barrels or boxes, but spread
it out on your granary or barn floor,
not more than 10 or u inches deep
thinner if you have plenty of
room-and stir it every few days
with a hoe or rake until it is thor
oughly dry. It will then be in fine
condition to store in large quaint
ties. Keep in cool, dry places in
clean bins that may be closed if nec
essary.

rays ana turned them into heat and
the glass kept the heat in.
After many ages the cloud blanket
got thin in two places, and for very
good reasons, requiring to explain
more space than we can give. These
places were at the poles, and they
made great 'holes in the blanket"
which let out the heat just as a hole
in the glass would have let the heat
out of the iron pot. When the heat
at the poles began to leak out into
space-what happened? Why, it got
cold and snow fell and accumulated
in great piles, miles thick, and when
it got to be a big mountain of snow
and ice it made the beginnings of
two great glaciers moving by gravity
towards the equator. It took a good
many years, we need not dwell on
that; this is just an outline intended
to explain a few farm facts, and to
give the reader a taste for further
reading about the wonders of nature.
Finally the southern limit of the
northern glacier had moved south to
about 80 degrees and the southern
ice cap had moved north in a similar
fashion. IF this had kept on for a
few more million years the world
would have been frozen solid and we
would not be here to tell the tale.
But the Designer of all things
planned otherwise. And while the
thing that then happened was a won-
drous miracle it was not done arbi-
trarily, but according to the laws of
the Great Plan, of which we have
been permitted to learn a few of the
rules. One of the rules was that
the southern hemisphere having so
much more water made a bigger ice
cap at the south pole than was form
ed at the north. This surplus mass
was enough to cause the great sun
center to say Come" and, obeying
the memorable law of gravitation, it
moved over gradually until the
earth's axis was inclined 233 de-
grees to the "plane of the elliptic"
Then the seasons began, and the
land of the midnight sun was a fact.
The suns rays reached clear across
the poles, and the long, hot summers
of the temperate zone began to melt
the ice of the glaciers, and the Ice
Age ended. Equilibrium was re-
stored, and as the southern edge of
our ice cap receded plants and ami
mails sprang up in it's wake. Some
only went as far as Iowa, some as
far as Canada, and a few dwarf will
lows and lichens and the polar bear
and his friends went away up to the
Arctic Circle, and their descendants
are there to this day. That's enough
for the causes of the ice age.
While this immense field of ice
was moving south it leVeled noun

and Alaskan ice rivers are doing to-

EASY SCIENCE STUDIES FOR
M

earth and of the solar system is un-
proven, and perhaps forever will be,
like the theory of evolution and
many other assumptions of science.
However, it stands u~nchallenged and
seems to be reasonable. 1t is at best
a good working, theoretical founda-
ton that will stand until something
better is offered.
Accepting for the present, there
fore, the nebular theory as a reason
able basis from which to trace the
earth's history, we may say that the
world as a molten mass was thrown
off from the sun, as mud flies from
the wheel of a rapidly moving. wa
gon. This great ball of fire, whirled
over and over on its axis, once every
day, as at present. We believe that
at that time the earth's axis-the
line extending from pole to pole
was perpendicular and not inclined
1912 degrees as we are taught it is
now in the geography class. The
inclination, which came later, is such
an important part of the story of
the Great Ice Age that we feel it
necessary to give this brief outline
in order to intelligently approach
the subject of how the rich soil of
the corn belt was made by the an
cient glaciers.
So the ancient fiery world not only
turned over on its axis, but made it's
annual journey as now, held in it's
eternal track by the union of two
forces, that of gravity and the cen
trifugal force. The force of gravi-
tation is that mysterious law where
by all bodies attract each other "and
large ones in proportion; every boy
who has safely swung a pail of wa
ter about his head has seen the oper-
alton of the centrifugal force. Cen
trifulgence keeps the earth from be-
ing drawn into the sun, and gravi-
tation, or the suns attraction, pre-
vents the earth from flying off into
space. These two forces exactly
counterbalance each other.
AS the earth cooled by radiation
of it's original heat the rocky crust
was formed out of the molten mass.
The great mountain ranges and sea
deeps were formed by the contract
ing of the surface just as the skin
of an apple becomes wrinkled. The
tops of the wrinkles become land
and the hollows filled up with water.
The Divine command had been Civ
en-, and light and life appeared. We
know by the remains of tropical
plants and animals near the poles
that it was warm there, and every
day in the year, in every place, was
exactly twelve hours long. The
earth was covered with a warm cloud
blanket, which allowed the SUMS rays
to pass through and then kept the
heat in, just as Prof. Langley once
took a black iron kettle to the top
Of Mount Whitney, where there is
perpetual snow, and covering the
