IN GENERAL.

The great sea walls of Galveston har-
Dor, Texas. have finally been completed at
total cost of $4,000, 900. The work has
all be done since the great tidal wave
destruction of five years ago. In the
meantime the citizens have expended &c.,
100000 more in the construction of new
dwellings, churches, public buildings and
new business blocks.
Great preparations are being made to
celebrate the kaisers silver wedding on
Feb. %. The visitors on this occasion
will include the kings and queens of
England, Italy, Holland and Wurtemberg,
the kings of Greece and SaXony, the
queen of Rumania, Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, the Crown Princess of Sweden
and Denmark. and all the rulers of the
smaller German states France, the
United States and Turkey will send ex-
traordinary embassies.
The Young Mems Christian association
is such a big and prosperous organization
that one recalls with something of sur
prise that 1t is only go years ago since II
was started. The death OF Sir George
Williams, just reported from England,
furnishes such a reminder. Sir George
was born in 1921, and early he took great
interest in religious affairs. In 1914 he,
with IL other persons, formed in London
the first Young Mems Christian associa-
ton. The movement spread, and in 1851
the first association was organized In the
United States. The growth of the move
ment since that time is matter Of record.
The founder lived to see associations in
every part of the world In America alone
there are over 1900, with a total member
ship of more than $4,000 and occupying
buildings of their own valued at upward
of $26, 100000.
II. w. Hammond, who lately reached
San Francisco from the tin fields OF
Alaska, reports that a worlds supply of
tin ore is in sight in that possession OF
Uncle Sam. Perhaps Mr.. Hammond is
selling tin stock, but his claims are in
teresting. He states that placer deposits
of tin ore near Cape Prince of Wales are
spread over an area roughly estimated as
25 miles long and 10 miles wide. In that
field he says there is enough placer tin
in sight to equal for years to come the
present worlds output of $1,000 tons an
nually Yielding at this rate, the fields
would not be exhausted as he reckons,
for a hundred years. More than this,
outcroppings of the ore from which these
placer deposits have come have been
located at various points in the New
York mountain range to the eastward.
Mr.. Hammond further says that the ore
yields a percentage of commercial tin re-
markably large Already various COM
panies have secured large holdings there,
and he expects extensive mining opera
tions to .follow.-[Springfield Republican.

The Age of the Sun.

The age Of the sun has been for many
years a matter of controversy between
biologists and physicists. The investiga-
tors Of tidal friction claim that 500 or
1000 million years have elapsed since the
birth Of the moon, and other scientists
arguing from purely geological reasons,
claim the age Of the sun to be between
so and 1000 million years On the other
hand, 1t is asserted by physicists that,
at the rate at which the sun is emitting
energy, 1t cannot have been active for
more than 20 million years.
A solution of this discrepancy has been
recently suggested by Prof. G. H. OAR
win, president of the association for the
advancement OF science, in his presiden-
tial address at the recent meeting of that
body in johannesburg South Africa. He
claims that the discovery of radium ex-
plains the differences in these estimates,
because 1t has been shown that concentra-
ton of matter is not the only source from
which the sun may draw its heat. There
is every possibility that radium exists in
the sun, and its energy will be more
readily appreciated when 1t is considered
that, while 1t requires from 5000 to 5000
tons. OF coal to propel $4,000 ton ship
5000 miles at the rate of 10 miles an hour,
the same energy is contained in 20 ounces
of radium.-ITeohnical World Magazine.

Aarees wien seIeetman Hooker.

Charles L. Dexter OF Philadelphia has
written letter to Selectman James F.
Hooker this week concerning two matters
of public interest which he read about in
The Phoenix OF last Friday. Mr.. Dexter
visits Brattleboro several times a year on
his way to and from South Newfane. In
regard to the condition of the depot yard,
which he says is a disgrace to a town of
such Importance as Brattleboro, he adds:
II think the yard needs grading from the
platform toward the river to take care of
the rainfall, and It should be surfaced with
broken stone. 1 hope you will keep at the
matter until something is done to better
it's condition" In regard to the Austine
bequest he says: MY impression of the
stand you have taken about the $4,000
donation for the hospital is that 1t is a
good one. Brattleboro does not want a
tuberculosis hospital and the people will
not have 1t If half awake to their interests.
The provision of the Austine will clearly,
to my mind, did not intend such use OF
the money. 1 hope you will pardon my
writing to you to let you know how an
outside man (who has the best interests
of Brattleboro at hearD views your en-

MONUMENT FOR BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Report That Mormons VIII Erect One In
Nottingham, the Town Of His Birth.

Report That Mormons VIII Erect One In
Nottingham, the Town Of His Birth.
The action of the MormOns In erecting
monument halfway between Royalton
and Sharon to mark the birthplace OF
Joseph Smith revives the report Of some
time ago that the Mormon church had
practically decided to honor the memory
Of the late Brigham Young by erecting
near his old birthplace in Nottingham a
costly monument something after the de-
sign Of the one being set up to the apostle
Smith. A few years before the death
of Brigham Young a party of strangers
came to Brattleboro for the purpose of
ascertainlng the exact birthplace of sew
eral prominent leaders in the Mormon
church. These men quietly, and what at
the time appeared mysteriously, searched
the records of several towns and finally
visited Nottingham to ascertain all that
was known of the early lives of Brigham
Youngs ancestors 1t was then decided
that some sort of marker should be placed
near the ancestral home, some regret be-
ing expressed that the matter should
have been delayed so many years. The
Mormon delegates visited several towns
in the West River valley for the purpose
of finding some trace of family which
they declared had been most prominent in
Mormon councils, but which had gone out
entirely, leaving 1t difficult to find even a
trace OF their ancestors whom the visitors
believed came from Londonderry or some
town near there. The delegation showed
not a little anxiety in their search and
offered liberal compensation to those who
should find any trace of the missing
family. When they left Brattleboro it
was understood by those with whom they
talked that as a result of their visit to
Nottingham a sum would soon be con-
| tributed by the Mormon church toward the
building of the Brigham Young monument.
This was several years ago, but as yet
no move has been made further than to
mark the site of Young's birthplace. 1t
has been reported that there is some OBJ
| lection shown by the church to the monu-
ment project and that it has so far been
impossible to secure the legal authority
to erect one in Nottingham. On the other
hand, some of the faithful followers of
! Brigham Young say that this memorial
shall be given. and 1t is understood now
that Joseph Smiths memory is to be
honored 1t will be but matter of a short
time before Nottingham will have some
thing even more imposing to the memory
of Brigham Young.-IBrattlebor letter in
| Springfield Sunday Republican.

The Jamaica Savings bank is one of the
strong financial institutions of the state,
and one of the few continuing to pay four
per cent. interest to depositors. 1t is an
interesting fact which may surprise out
siders to know that over 900 is de-
posted in the bank by residents Of the
town.
G. T. Howard of Craftsbury, a member
of the board Of state railroad commission
ers, is the man who has offered a site in
Jamaica for the tuberculosis sanitorium,
which will be built with the gift of $780,
900 from Senator Redheld Proctor. Mr..
Howard has offered to give to the COM
mission the farm of $50 to 300 acres on
Turkey mountain which he received some
years ago in trade with M F. Spencer,
now landlord of the American House in
st. Adams. This land is admirably
situated for the purpose on high, dry land,
and the buildings there, said to be in good
condition, have not been occupied recently.
The farm is about three miles from the
village and IN mile from East Jamaica
station.
Last year the village Of Jamaica was
incorporated under the general statute and
since then H. A. Mclean has installed a
complete system of street lighting, in
Guiding both arc and incandescent lamps.

Fresh Winter Enna.

For the man who can find a method
OF producing fresh winter eggs at
moderate cost there is a fortune wait
ing. w. e. Robinson of West Derby, Vt,
has found a way. Read what he says
'In looking over the record of our hens
for the past six months, we find the
production of eggs per hen far exceeds
any previous year, this too in the face Of
the very severe and long continued cold
weather OF January, FEBRUARY, and March,
Now, Honor to whom honor is due We
attribute this very gratifying gain in eggs
to the daily use OF Pages Perfected
Poultry Food. We have never used it so
faithfully before and never before had so
satisfactory a winter yield. We intend
to somewhat more than double our present
flock OF hens this season and you may
rest assured our orders for poultry food
will be increased in like proportion
