THE armament showeth his handi-

When night her sable veil has flung
Far out, until it shrouds the world,
We marvel how each mesh is hung
With stars and how each fold Is
pearled
With strands of living fire whose glow
Comes family through the outer mist
Where subtle colorS ebb and flow
From ebony to amethyst.
Then man looks in the jeweled sky
Where patiently the planets climb.
And there is held before his eye
The unsolved mystery of time.
He traces all the wanderingS
OF restless universe and world.
But where the hand that onward n!ngS
The stars with such precision hurled!
What is the aIl-exp1aining word
Writ with the stars for man to heed!
Why is it in its grandeur blurred
That Straining eyes may never reao!
Why. when our sight has found the place
Wherein the fartheSt star is set
Do unknown fingers swiftly trace
A constellation farther yet?
Each star that sends its laughing light
Has that deep secret long possessed:

The knowledge hidden in her breast
Yet man repeats his What and why,
And frets for that he never sees

and a corresponding temperature of
several hundred degrees. This is an
adaptation of a system that has been
in use for many years, which has
found considerable favor in Germany.
The boiler is charged from station
airy plant with water heated to a
point far beyond the temperature at
which it would boil under atmospher-
ic pressure. When the locomotive
commences to move and the steam is
drawn off from the boiler, the press
ure, of course, is lowered, and as soon
as it falls below the point correspond
ing to the temperature of water the
latter begins to boil, giving fresh sup
plies of steam. Thus, as the engine
is operated there is fall of pressure
with corresponding boiling of the
water.

Portland Has Its Oddities.

Portland does not claim to be q
city OF wonders, but when IL comes
to showing curious sights it can be
counted on to have a long suit every
time. Over at the Cape, where they
have many strange and wonderful
things, not the greatest of which are
the famous cabbages, this strange
sight is to be seen, for it has not yet
passed from view.
There near Alewive brook, on the
road to Two Lights, is to be seen a
post growing into tree. The tree is
a big willow, and the post was nailed
up against it as part of a fence a
good forty years ago. The nails held
firm and still hold. The tree kept on
growing and has now grown out
around the post SO that now the for
mer section of fence is imbedded fully
ten inches. The wood and bark have
also grown over the top. until not
more than fifteen inches of what was
originally a four-foot post are to be
seen. The rest has become a part of
the tree.
Some farmer of a future generation
when he comes to cut this great will
low down will be surprised to find a
well-preserved post inside and the
occurrence, like the tomahawk, will
doubtless go on record and an eiquari-
ans will try to reckon what prehistoric
race put the post there.-Portiand,

take on a kind of washed or faded

its firmness, is copper. The black bor-

the crown are only limitations. If

FENCE PAINTING MADE EASY.
Pittsburg Company Is Turning Out
Valuable Device.

A Pittsburg company is offering
the bristle brushes for painting wire
fencing shown herewith. They have
a malleable iron frame, fitted with a
high grade steel spring 6 inches long,
there being an opening between OK
IRENE limits of five and three-quarters
inches and between brushes Of one
inch. The brushes are held in posi-
ton by a set screw. At the forward
end of each arm is a socket to hold
the brushes, the socket being extend
ed into a cup to catch any drippings
OF paint should too much be taken.
Paint is poured into the cup at the
top of the arm and works down
through the brushes, any surplus be-
ing caught in the brush cups and may
be returned to the can. AS the paint
gravitates to the bottom brush the
user can readily equalize the distri-
button by reversing the device, using
the bottom one on top. The manu-
facturers state that with this brush
it is easy to paint seventy to eighty
rods of fence day, and do good
job, without splitting paint. The
