New Owners of Quarries Preparing
for Operations.
Active operation began last week on the
stimson qnsrries by the new owners, the
Benvenue Granite Co. Cuttings lave be-
gun for double track railroad to operate
between several branches at the qusrries
and the new big dock at the river. A
ninety-ton locomotive and the largest
steam hosting engine ever erected in
Maine, with lot Of rail iron and other
tools, etc, will be here in few days.
Ernest Gordon is foreman Of quarry
crew and Henry Wallace Is local snpcrin-
tendent. Surveys of minute details have
been made and are going on.
Twenty or thirty buildings ON the prop
erty will be put in repair for rents and
quarry uses. There is great demand for
board and accommodations, as most OF the
employees are young men.
Real estate and building lots are in a
boom condition, ss this town is most de-
lightful place of residence. The quar-
ries are about a mile back Of town. The
Benvenue compsny has big stone quRrries
in Connecticut and at Stonington, with
headquarters at New York, and is rated as
one OF the largest stone firms in America
with unlimited capital and markets. by
the purchase OF this 7oD-aere property IL
will be able to supply any demand for
ages.
Only the most scientific operating and
prospecting methods are employed, and il
Is expected that IN less than six months
Sullivan will be abreast Of any stone pro-
ducing town In America and will bring
the output OF Maine to double that of any
other granite reducing state in the
union. The big operations at Stonington
have placed Maine at the head OF the list
for several years.
This boom gives a. all round impetus to
local affairs, and all trades are very much
alive to the situation. Several large pieces
OF real estate have been transferred the
past week. There never were more men
employed In town, even In the mining
boom days in che SOS.

Penalties of Genius

No great genius, certainly no great in
ventor, ever lived who was no, supposed
TO be little queer by some of his fellow
men.
Three hundred years before Stephenson
perfected his locomotive, Frenehman, s.
de Caas, was smmured in the living tomb of
the Bicetre for having allowed his mind to
outstrip the age in which he lived. Marion
de Lorme, in a letter dated Paris 1871, tells
Of a visit 10 this institution.
"We were crossing the court" she
writes, ''and !, more dead than alive with
the fright, kept close to my companions

voice exclaimed: Il am not mad! / am

'' This man. continued the keeper,
came from Normandy four years ago TO
present to the king statement of the
wonderful effects to be produced from his
invention. To listen to him you would
imagine that with steam you could navi-
gate ships, move carriages; in fact, there
is no end to the miracles which, he insists
upon ii could be performed. The king
sent the madman away without listening
to him. Finally, finding the poor wretch
forever in his path, and annoyed by his
folly, the Cardinal had him shut up in
the Bicetre'"

An interesting report has been is
sued by the department of agricul
ture on the subject OF the American
wheat crop. The author is Mark
Carleton, who has been in charge of
this special line of investigation for
some time. His conclusion is that al
though the United States last year
produced sos, o0o, 600 bushels OF wheat,
there is no reason why this crop can
not be more than doubled MIR. earle
ton says that crop of billion and
one-half bushels is quite within the
range of possibility, which would
make the United States produce more
than half of the entire wheat crop of
the world. The department of agri
culture is now busy, both in expand
ing the wheat producing area by the
introduction OF new grain that is ad
apted 70 conditions where wheat is
not now grown, and in increasing the
yield over the territory where whea.
is now raised.
