This places the whole matter of

OF the idea entertained by some persons

that the government would supply the

Saturdays Blaze.

A fire WAS started by some small boys
who we're playing with matches Satur-
day that for time seriously threatened
the business portion OF the city.
The flames we're first seen bursting
through the roof and top OF a small
stable just back Of Rollo McAllister's
residence. There was continuous row
OF these stables and small out buildings
some being filled with hay and other
iDtiamables, consequently the flames
spread very rapidly.
When the hose team ar ived on the
scene some fout or five Of these small
buildings were MESS OF flames. The
wind was just right TO blow the fire
and sparks directly toward the row OF
resident buildings on Palmer street and
some difficulty was had in preventing
Them from taking fire also. II they
had have burned it would have been
almost impossible to have saved the
business portion uf the city. When the
water WAS turned on there was very
little force-this was caused by the
pump at the pumping station being
stopped at the time. However the hose
team did good work and soos had the
flames under control and although con
siderable damage was done no residences
were burned.
Miss Matte Grigrs had horse aud
buggy burned up, they being right
where the fire started there WAS very
little chance to save either the horse or
buggy as they were enveloped in the
flames Utmost as soon as the fire was
discovered.
This is the third or fourth time during
the past four years that small boys have
set fire to barus and outbulldiug near
the center OF the city.

A Powerful River.

"Should one be asked at randor. %
name the most powerful river in New
England-that IS, the river yielding he
most water power and doing the LOST
work-he would be likely to name the
Merrimac," said NJ. s. Edgar of Port
land, Me. He would have in mind
the great manufacturing city of Low
ell, and the answer would be a natural
one. 1t is surprising, therefore, to be
told by the United States geological
survey that the most powerful river in
New England is the Androscoggin
Yet the surprise abates when the facts
are recounted. There are nine or ten
developed water powers along the riv-
er, and it appears that they furnish to-
tai power equal to 10000 horses. The
falls at Brunswick yield 100 horse
power; at Lisbon Falls, 1928; at Lewis
ton, 12.GOO; at LivermOre Falls, 5000;
at Otis Falls. 5000; at Jays, 3,T0O; "a
Peterson's Rips, 5000. At Rumford
Falls there is a potential of 10000
horsepower when the resources at that
place are fully developed. and that is
altogether the greatest water power in

covery was accidental in both cases,
and the fact created the impression
that mines were lying around loose

feet below the surface they discovered
signs of gold. The stranger was buried

QUAINT LONDON LeGacies.
Some of Them show the Old Time
Sstfnate of Sermons.

Some of Them show the Old Time
EstiMate of Sermons.
Some curious glimpses into tie life
Of old London are afforded by the re-
ports made in the charity commission
on the endowed charities in the county
OF London. For instance, in the re-
ports dealing with the city parishes
we have an estimate Of the value set
on sermons by city men in olden times
That estimate varied from shillings
to fl los. One Thomas Bright had
left bequest for a sermon to be preach
ed on the 9Th of November every time
1t fell Oh Sunday, the minister to get
lbs. Id, the clerk IS. 4d. and the sexton
Is. i'd. But David Gittin had a more
modest idea of the value Of a sermon
In the same parish. He required two
preached on the second Sunday in Ad-
vent and the other on the second Sun
day in Lent. The reader got 2 shil-
lings, the churchwarden Is. Sd. and
the poor sexton fourpence for each oc.
casion. John Ireland thought 13s. 4d.
enough for two sermons.
In 1860 John VIM left curious be-
quest to the parish of St. Bennett, Pauls
Wharf. A pound was set apart for an
annual sermon, the text to be taken
from the fifth chapter Of st. John and
the twenty-seventh verse. He also left
enough to buy twelve penny loaves for
twelve poor people of the parish who
attended sermon every Friday in the
parish church. But he expected more
for his pound than the annual sermon.
!or before or after the sermon the min
Eter had to spend an hour examining
Or instructing the poor people in the
christian doctrine.
The most generous donor of the
preacher was James Wood, who thought
q sermon IL st. Nicholas Cole Abbey
was worth II los. every alternate year.
In 1925 he bequeathed TO the Company
Of Bowyers sum to enable them,
among other things, to repair to the
parish church named. after they had
sworn in their wardens and master ev-
cry second year, there to hear ser
mon and pay the parson FL los. and
