VALUE OF LIGHTNING RODS.
Experiments Proved Them of No
 Value on Ships.

From the American Syren and Shipping.
 Several European shipping periodi- calls are advocating the use of light ming rods on ships which convey ex- plosive compounds. One of the sa papers notes that on a recent voyage the foremast of the Umbria was struck by lightning, which shattered 1t to bits The writer of the article slated that "if the ship had been fitted with lightning conductors the current would have been defiected from the ship"
 The value of lightning rods for ships was investigated by Captain Folger of Nantucket, Mass, brother-in-law of Benjamin Franklin, the inventor of the types of lightning rods in common use the world over until : few years ago. After Folger many other American and

From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
 While the Athenians of the present gen. eration have riotously protested against the rendering of classic plays into modern Greek, English speaking people have not got up any riots over similar outrages perpetrated in the twentieth century Bi- ble. For instance. the text "A city which is set on hill cannot be hid' became Tt is impossible for town which stands on hill to escape observation" Where the authorized version asks. "Sayeth thou this thing of thyself?" the twentieth cen- tury paraphrase reads. "Is that sugges- ton of your own?" But as absurd as any is this rendering of a famous passage: And 1t being levee day in heaven all Gods nobility came to court to present themselves before him."

British shipmasters studied the light nino rod ouestion with the final result

that thousands of experiments with masts fitted with lightning rods ad- duced the belief that they are of no value in warding off lightning
 As a matter of fact, abundant evi- dence exists in the archives of Ameri- can, British and French scientific so- cietics that thousands of ships pro vided with lightning rods were struck by lightning. Time was when naval and army magazines were fitted with lightning rods. That practice ended years ago. It is only among believers in the efficacy of plasters for the back and side, blood purifiers, divining rods, and fortune tellers that confidence in lightning rods exists.

Senator HaIe's Task.

Washington Cor. Bangor Commercially
Senator Hale has completed the delicate
task assigned to him as chairman OF the
Senate committee on committees. When
he first came TO the Senate over twenty
years ago, 1t was almost an unheard of
thing for senators to make a campaign In
behalf of committee places to their iik-
ing. They simply took what was given to
them and usde no complaint. But now
s-days 1t Is far different. Senators start
out for certain committee places that they
desire, months ahead. and they bring all
the influence to bear that they can COM
mand.
This influence Is centered on the COM
mittee on committees. There are trading
and dickering and wire pulling to get as
desirable places as possible, wh.ch makes
the position of chairman of committee
on committees anything but a desira bic
one.
It is not to be doubted that Mr.. Hale
will be glad when his term as chairman
of that COMMITTEES Ia ended. The leaders
take turns at the undesirable task and
during the present Congress 1t was Sena
tor Haie's turn. In the next Congress
1t will probably go to someone e'se The
committee on committees cor sists of
several senators but very important duties
devolve upon the chairman.

OBITUARY.



Miss Elizabeth b. Jarvis died at her
home on Bridge hill Monday, Dec. 10,
about 1890 .. m. She had been great
sufferer from rheumatism for the past
three years. She was In her seventy ninth
year.
Miss Jarvis was born In Februsry, 1925.
She was the second daughter of the late
Chsrles and Mary Ann (Biack) Jarvis.
or a family OF ten chiidren--dve sons
and five dsue hters-two sutvive-Ann F.,
vile OF Everard IL. CIR ely, and Charles
Jarvis, who lives in California.
Miss Jarvis grandfather moved to Els
worth from Cambridge, Mass, about
1880. Her father, Charles Jarvis, is well
remembered by the older residents of
Ellsworth. He moved to the estate on
Bridge hill In 1851, where the family has
ever since resided.
Miss Jarvis mot her was daughter of
the late Col. John Black, who built the
Black mansion on the Surry road, now

The State Printing.

Periodically there arises some
printer outside of Augusta who says
he thinks he can do the State printing
very much cheaper than it is being
done. Even if he can, there is no
reason why he should, since the prices
of the State printing are fixed by
statuse-and anyone in the business
knows they are extremely low when
compared with prices paid in other
states for similar work.
This year F. B. Nichols, the able
proprietor of the Bath Times, says he
thinks he can serve the State in the
capacity Of public printer better than
the present incumbents, Burleigh &
Fiynt, of Augusta. Possibly he can,
but it would be dangerous expert
ment for the State to let him or any
one else try it.
Year after year, the Legislature
itself recognizes the Importance Of
having the State printing done where
it can be done quickest, and with the
least liability to delay or incompe-
tence--both of which are reduced &c
q minimum by having the work done
in Augusta and by the present officials
and persists in re-electing them.
When the capital is moved TO Bath
it win be time enough for the legisIa.
