Low prices for coppe. result; but this so encourages
 sumption. Low prIces for copper re- suit; but this so encourages consump- tion that the surplus soon disappears and the regular and steadily growing consumption demand again overtakes production.
 The boom of 1899 and the high prlces for copper which, as a result of the Amalgamated corner, faster until the end of 1901, caused perhaps five hundred new companies to be fioated A great majority of these were formed for stock jobbing purposes cnly, but scores of the honest undertakings al- SC resulted in failure. The following producing and apparently success cessful mining companies owe their origin to that boom: Baltic, Fri mountain, Champion, Mohawk, Utah. Bingham, U. s. Mining, Shannon, Cal umet & Arizona, Greene Consolidated Bully Hill, Granby. and Tennessee Copper. These thirteen companies are this pear producing approximate ly 190 100000 pounds of copper, or about q per cent of the American out put. In four years they have in- creased the American production about 33 per cent, At first glance this increase seems alarming; but reference to statistics of the past shows that in 1894 the American out put of copper was 354,000,00 pounds, and in 1899 it was 56S, S,500,0OO pounds, an increase of more than 60 per cent in five years, and in spite of this tre- nendous increase in production, the price of copper rose from it's lowest record price. 9 cents per pound in 1894, to 19 3-S cents in 1890, the world having increased it's consumption of copper even more rapidly than produc- tion had grown.
 The collapse of the market prices of industrial and mining stocks during the past few months, and the difficult ty being experienced ID raising money for new enterprises, means that it will probably be three to five years before another boom will come along , that will place the necessary money i1 the hands of mining men to enable them to find and develop a new lot of mines capable of making the next needed addition to the worlds copper output. In the meantime 1t is to be expected that consumption will nat. urally again overtaks production, and that price for copper will be record ed that will return producers great profits.

ls COPPER OvER.PRODUcTIO
 PROBABLE.

Even had the several mines of the Amalsamated company continued in uninterrupted operation this year there is little prospect that any con siderable overproduction Of copper would have resulted. While con sumption has apparently fallen ou slightly during the last few months, it is also true that production has not been showing nearly the increase this year that the bearishly inclined pre- dicted ten months ago. It was figured out that the American output would amount to S00,UOU,000 pounds this year, compared with 660,000,000 pounds in 1902. It is now quite cer- tain that this estimate was at least 15 per cent too high, the real increase Icing at the rate of llezz than 5 per cent. Next years production may be somewhat larger; but as there will be 10 surplus on hand to start with nothing but abnormaily high prices can cause any material accumulation.
 Years of development and prepara- tion must precede any considerable increase ill the worlds output of cop Fer. In this respect the copper pro- oucing industry differs essentially from most others. To open a mine, equip 1t and provide the necessary re- drction plant, requires an average cash expenditure s1.0O0,O00 to 'J- OOV,OO0. depending on the amount of copper that is to be produced annually. 1t therefore follows that particularly healthy conditions must exist in financial and business circles 70 permit of any conceivable extension of the copper mining industry. The price of coper must be hign and the money market easy.
 Copper production is subject to the natural laws of business, but the oper- ation of these laws is very slow. Consumption of the metal is increas- ing steadily, and no year goes by that does not find some new use to wnlch copper may be put advantageousiy. It is a competition or iron. steel, alumi- rum, zinc, lead, tin, paint, and a score more of materials Ii many different lines. When the prices of these com peting materials are relatively lower than the use of the latter decreases and when the price of copper declines there is always a tremendous increase in It's consumption.
 The past history of copper shows that once in about every eight years consumption overtakes production In tho price of copper eu'ing the past 4z years:
 At the bottom price of decline comes an average of about five years after the market has recorded its top quotation: and tha: an average O. about three years later on another tor is reached. The explanation II Ais is that high prices and scarc'ty

which is in every sense a home, with the
hope for their long life and happiness.
It was eleven O'Clock when the tired, but
happy, Belfast party retired to bed, but alas,
not to sleep, for a continuation of hilarity
went on in the hotel parlor until hours after
midnight. The next morning, despite the
pouring rain, two of us went down town by
car to call on Miss Frances V. Gulliver of
the New Age, recent acquisition to the
Association, and who showed us over the
office. H. E. Bowditch of Bowditch &
Webster, "John Quill" of the Kennecec
Journal, was also favored with call, but
was not at his place of business. A street
parade in the distance proved an attraction,
and despite the rain it was witnessed by
the two sightseers. The return to the hotel
by car:was made inEtime for dinner, after
which packing was in order. 1t was an
nounced that the coach made but one trip
for the $40 and 10 trains, and there was a
general rush for seats. Eleven ladies were
slowed inside, and fourteen or fifteen gen
trunks and numberless bags and suit cases
No wonder people smiled as we passed, al
though what came near being serious ac-
cident took place before we were safely
landed on the platform. On boarding our
car we were greeted by the genial counte-
nance of conductor John A. Mace. There
was little travel in our direction, and except
for relays of young people from Vassalboro
Seminary and Coburn Classical Institute
our journey home was very quiet. Although
we were five minutes late in Burnham it was
made up on the branch, and we arrived at
the station in Belfast on time, tired, but
well satisfied with our short visit to the

The Masons of Lacona, n. H., were most

Temple in December last. A circular has
been printed and sent to Masons and their
wives in different States asking them to
buy season ticket to a fair to be held in
Laconia from Feb. 10th to 18th. OF course
it means to aid them to the extent of one
dollar, which modest request it is hoped
none will refuse. They had left their land,
the ruins, and small insurance as nuce-
leus, and are hoping to soon be able to begin
a new home.

AGED PEOPLE OF PROSPECT.

Over in the town of Prospect there
are living seven old people, so near
together that they can stand in their
own door and talk with each other
without unduly raising their voices,
whose combined ages is 5S5 years.
These old people were all born in Pros
pect and have lived in the town all their
lives and in this little community for
more than so years. They are all in
perfect health with all their faculties
unimpaired and the prospect is that it
will be years yet before their little
band is broken.
Mrs. Frances Libby, or "Aunt Fan
nie'', as she is called, is 81, and Mrs. Mar
garet Mudgett, "Aunt Margaret, who
is 81, were the daughters of John Pierce
and were born and lived on the farm
where now stands Fort Knox, and in
the house taken down last year to make
room to erect suitable building to ac-
commodate the officer and his family in
charge of the Fort.
The big willow tree that stands near
where the house stood is said to have
grown from twig Mr.. Pierce used to
drive his cattle to the barn with, and
when done with it stuck the end in the
ground and it rooted and has grown to
its present size.
1t is quite a treat to listen to these
old ladies recount "reminiscences OF
their early life. To hear them tell of
the obstacles they had to overcome to
acquire an education. Wading through
the snow in winter, two miles or more
to an old shanty used for school house
and thinking themselves fortunate if
they had six weeks term of school.
Yet it is believed that these old ladies
with little brushing up in their books
would compare favorably with the
young ladies of the present with all
their advantages.
Then there is Mrs. Lydia Mudgett,
Ss straight and smart as a woman of
40, who can hustle around at house
cleaning time with the best of the
young women. Goodwin Grant, so, and
his wife, IS, have lived in the house
where they now live all their married
life, raised a large family of boys and
girls and are now living alone and doing
their own work, contented and happy.
Justin Grant SS, and his wife, 76 live
with their married daughter, Mrs. w.
S. killman.
These old people are all, except one,
dyed in the wool Democrats. Mrs. Mar
garet Mudgett is Republican. They
are all eager for the mail and when it
arrives some one takes their mail to
them and they read all the news, politi-
cal and otherwise, and are as well it not
better posted on the news of the day as
any of the younger members of the
community around them.

The journal takes pride in the fact
that it was one of the few papers in
Maine that took no stock in the mining
craze of twenty odd years ago, that
scared our hillsides and left holes in
the ground here and there in which the
money of its victims was buried The
result of that unfortunate boom amply
justified the stand then taken. Yet,
despite the reports of the early geolO-
gists. we are by no means sure that
there is not mineral wealth in the hills
of Maine. The gems from Mt. Mica,
or Mi. Hamlin, are widely known, and
there may be other deposits equally
valuable Then recent writer sug-
4ests that diamonds may be found in
the glacial deposits of gravel known as
kames or horsebacks. There are reports
OF coal veins on Passamaquoddy bay,
the rivers of the Aroostook and the
coast line of Sagadahoc: and in Eastern
Maine years ago were found indications
of iron ore. Is it not time then for the
State to take an account of stock: to
authorize complete geological survey
that shall determine just what wealth
is buried i'll our hills and valleys. In
advocating such a survey the Maine
Farmer says:
Our forests are being swept away
only to bring to view hills and noun
tains rich in rock formations some time
to be utilized for the profit of our in
habitants. Beyond this, scientific re-
search has led US where a more com
plete knowledge of the soil, it's forma-
ton and constituents are necessary in
order for the most successful cropping
10 be carried on, either in vegetables,
grains or fruit.
Viewed from every standpoint,
complete geological survey covering
every section and department is neces-
sary for the most rapid development of
the varied industries possible in Maine.
With the promise Of great industrial
developments in the immediate future,
knowledge of the possible sources of
wealth sure to be revealed becomes of
Importance to every inhabitant.

THE BEST COLOR FOR

The special committee OF the Cleveland
Academy of Medicine appointed to as

proper color for shades used on the
windows of school rooms has made a
report TO the school council committee

ported unanimously in favor Of cream
color or bun shades as those best suited
to the eyes. IN making a special study
OF the lighting arrangements the Cleve-
land board Of edueation is following the
lead taken by several large Eastern cit
les where this important matter has Of
late been given unusual attention.

tain Of a steamer which has been a

thin hair who fails to get a new crop If
he goes within the Arctic circle is Il
hopeless case. / have seen whalers who
got bald when thy stayed at ho,sie for
a year or two, and got a new crop of
hair every time they went toward the

How do 1 account for it? The farther
you go north the land animals get

THE MANUFACTURE
OF FINE PERFUMES

The manufacture Of perfumes deserves
to rank as one OF the finest arts The
extraction Of the essences from flowers.
such as jasmine. tuberose, violet. and
cassia. has long been carried out by the
process of enfieurage. the blossoms be-
ing left in contact with purified lard for
a few DAYS and then replaced by fresh
blossoms The lard is either sold as
such or the essential oil may be extract
ed from it by melting It under strong
alcohol
AS the process Of enfeurage is some
what tedious. attempts have frequently
been made 10 extract the oil directly
from the flowers by means of light
petroleum, but these processes have not.
as a rule. proved successful. and it has
recently been found that a very large
proportion Of the perfume is actually
produced for the first time In the BIOS
SONS during the time occupied by the
enfleuraee-
An interesting Illustration Of this is
given BY Dr. Albert Hesse in a recent
number of the 'Berichte, in which he
states that a ton OF tuberose blossoms
yielded only sixty-slx grams OF oil when
extracted with light petroleum, but dur
ing enfieurage yielded sol grams OF oil
to the fat in which they were imbed-
died. while a further seventy-S.gnt
grams remained in the faded blossoms
and could be separated by the extrac-
ton of distiliation- II thus appears that
eleven times as much perfume IS pro-
duced during enfeurage as is originally
present in the flowers and that even
after enfieurage the exhausted flowers
contain more perfume than when first
gathered-Chicago Record-Herald.
