HAS RAlNBow WOOD MINE.

Farmer Sees q Fortune Beneath His
Bed of Peat and swamp.
The collecting of rainbow wood is
comparatively new industry in Maine.
Though the jewellers along the sea
board have known for years that drift
wood picked up from the salt water
gave out iridescent tints when burned
in open CRATES, they attached no value
to the colorings of the flames until the
rich summer visitors came down east
and changed the picking of driftwood
from an occupation akin to idleness
into a profitable calling.
For Ave years the whole coast line
of Penobscot Bay has been secured in
quest of wood and when the supply
grew scarce and the prices advanced
from $40 to $25 cord a, Boston chem
list grew rich by inventing a powder
which when burned with dry wood
yielded colors nearly as bright as the
genuine wood from the sea.
This fall Emery Bowden, a farmer,
who sold considerable driftwoOd in
former years, went to the salt mead
ows at the foot of his field and began
to dig a supply of muck. When he
had excavated a hole about ten feet
deep he came to a flooring of great
pine trees, which had been imbedded
in the peat for ages. The limbs had
rotted away and the bark and sap
wood had gone, but the dry heart of
the trees was as sound as in life.
Kindling a FIRE about a log of this
wood, Bowden found that it gave out
brilliant hues of indigo and green.
No sooner had he made this discov-
cry than he stopped digging muck and
went to mining rainbow wood. He
loaded schooner with cut wood and
sent it to his Boston patrons, who
paid him $22 cord for the cargo and
asked for more.
Since then Bowden has hired all the
men who are willing to work and is
digging out the trunks in his buried
forest and selling them at fancy fig
ures. The deposit of pine trees lies
between the clay subsoil and the over
growth of peat and is fully six feet
In depth.
As the muck bed is more than a
mile in area Bowden believes he can
sell 10000 cords OF wood from a for
est that has been buried from view for
many ages.

all aglOw with feeling. kissed her with
a gentle, lingering kiss

With these words ringing in her ears,
Ethel watched the captain as he hasten

DOn't Make Rec Lines.
There are several popular errors
about, the ways Of bees which need rec
tifying," said Ike Hubbard, a honey
hunter. THE average bee, instead of
being an example of industry, is about
the LATEST thing that flies.
Even in the busy season in mid
summer no bee will quit it's hive until
after the sun is well up and has taken
off the heavier part of the dew, and
SO soon as the sun slants toward the
hill in the afternoon every bee will
come flying home and go to roost,
though darkness Is four or FIVE hours
away.
"Then there are few bees that will
hunt for honey from flowers so long as
they can find corn sirup or brown
sugar to steal. This fact is so well
known to apiarlsts that many bee
keepers buy corn strip for 80 cents a
gallon and pass it along to the bees,
which convert it into something that
resembles honey, but is not honey, and
still sells for the genuine product of
the hives. When a man can buy strip
for 80 cents gallon and then sell
it back to the trader as honey for So
gallon. he can get rich right away
provided he has enough bees.
The greatest mistake that is made
low straight lines when carrying home
their loads of honey. l assure you
that the bee line one reads about in the
books does not exist
when a laden bee Is going home
with a big load of honey in it's stom-
ach and great wads of pollen on its
hind legs, it takes the easiest course,
regardless of any line. In our billy
country no bee will rise in the air to
Surmount a hill when it can go around
the obstruction.
when a sharp rise lies between my
honey box and the bee tree, every bee
flies away on the arc of circle. so
as to avoid exerting itself by rising.
In such cases place my box on either
side of the hill, and make my triangu-
latiOn nearer the apex. If one were to
go chasing after bee that was flying
around a hill. his calculations might
lead him to China or the Philippines.
"The beekeepers tell us that white
clover honey is the best, but 1 do not
agree with them, Domestic honey,
such as is gathered from white clover,
buckwheat and other cultivated plants,
is too sweet.
'"To my mind, wild honey that is
stolen from the blossoms of dogwood
and Eastwood and wild thyme and
minis and nettles is far better than
anything bought in the stores. 1t has
gamey favor about 1t that suggests
wild woods and great trees and sing
ing brooks and everything that lives
out of doors and away from the con
Eliminating faint of mankind"

Ethel leaned over her fathers shout

Mallingford Park unless as its owner,
and the next day receive this curious
message. dare say it ID only a coinci-

help connecting the one event with the
other"
Surely there was some strangely ex-
hilarating quality in the atmosphere this
morning, for Ethel went about her bust
ness in a brisker manner than she had
lately. Her nerves were a little bit I'M
strung, too, for, when about o'clock
there came a very decided rat-a-tat-tat
at the door, she was worked up to such
q state of extreme expectation that she
almost shrieked aloud. She ran to her
usual post Of observation. the stair head,
and was surprised, pleased, sorry, dis
turbed. all in a moment, at the sight Of
Captain Polling.
She was almost tempted to send him a
message to the effect that she could not
see him just then; but she had a horror
Of deception, and indeed she was really
glad to see him again. A few seconds
later she was shaking hands with him
and her shyness had completely van,
ished.
After the question as to sport there
was an awkward little pause, and Ethe
felt her heart quicken with dread. Shak
ing herself free from this feeling, she
turned to her visitor.
@You have not asked why papa is mo-

mination to avoid personal topics.

Jack felt that his position was hardly

The Frenchwoman retraced her steps

had expected so. much from the appear

engagement through them, and now the
chance was lost, utterly lost, just be-
cause she could not bring about the de-

This disappointment, coming after her
mornings failure at DAVIS office, broke

But In that moment Of her utter de-

central hall, and then handed them over
TO the foOtman. She stood watching
