that Edminster is still breaking the law,
though perhaps not so openly. There are
enough cases now pending against Edmin-
ster to keep him where he cannot break the
prOhibitory law for at least two or three
years. il the county attorney diligently
presses them in court. This will be true
also even II only moderate sentences should
be imposed by the presiding justice. Some
may think that the persistence and defiance
of law by this man is commendabe. To
thinking men it appears like the persistent
determination of sulky mind to have its
own way regardless of any law......The
case of Antonio Croce, fruit dealer in
Searsport, will be of general interest to
many in the eastern part of the county.
Complaint had been sent to the Sheriff's
ofice several times that different people
were getting either wholly or partially intox-
icated on a certain brand of so-called shop
beer" which was sold with other soft
drinks by Croce. Mr.. Carleton and Deputy
Ellis took a search warrant and went to
this place recently and found no evidence
that distilled liquors had been sold or kept
on the premises; but they did find several
cases of the beer which had been recently
delivered. These were examined and sever
al samples were taken and two samples
were sent away for analysis. The chemist
in reporting the analysis said" should
say without hesitation that both are intoxi-
eating liquor; and it furthermore looks to
me very much as if both bottles were filled
out of the same barrel" Each sample con-
tained S.7S per cent of alcohol by volume.
Some makes of lager beer contain no more
alcohol. Croce said that the parties who
sold it claimed it to be all right to sell un-
der the Maine law and that it is not his in-
tentlon to break the law in any way; but
there seems to be mistake somewhere and
this information is given for those who
may be unintentionally misled as Croce
claims he was. 1t is said that many dealers in
''soft drinks" such as ginger ale, are hand
ling this beer in Winterport, Frankfort,
Prospect, Searsport, Belfast and Monroe.
Croce was held in the police court on this
case and given the usual sentence by Judge
Rogers for keeping intoxicating liquors on
the premises intended for illegal sale.

Ephraim NJ. Thomas, another one Of the
old pioneers of the State, passed away at
his home on Hicks avenue in The Willows,
yesterday, at the age Of 75 years. Mr..
Thomas was born in LincOlnville, Maine, in
1882, but had spent the larger part OF his NE
in California, coming here when young
man of "a, and settling at Dutch Flat, one OF
the very prosperous placer mining camps
then established in the State. He was one
of the many who rushed to California in
search of gold and was one OF the compare
lively few who realized the object OF MS
search. after following the occupation Of
a miner for eight years he returned to his
old home in Lincolnville and married Adela
K. Heald, but stayed there only short time
In 1865 he again came to California ana TOOK
up mining claims in the old location at Dutch
Flat and continued operating them until
1881, when he moved to San Jose and pur-
chased a farm in The Willows and has since
that time resided there. The deceased was
a man well up in fraternal circles, having
been Mason for the past 43 years and an
Odd Fellow for 45 years. He leaves to mourn
his loss but one member OF the immediate

The Marble and the Pencil.

The marble trick is as old as the days
of Aristotle Cross the middle and
fore fingers and roll marble between
them The marble will feel like two,
because it is being felt in an unaccus-
toned way. If pencil IS drawn be-
tween the crossed fingers the one pen
Gil will feel like parallel bars. The
same illusion may he worked by plac-
ing the pencil between the lips and
then moving the under lip to one side,
causing the pencil to feel like two.
More curious than any of these is the
one where the fOrefinger Is crossed
over the little finger behind the other
two and then applied to the end of the
nose Not only can you feel two noses,
but one of them seems to be about an
inch longer than the other. This last
sensation is caused by the fact that
we do not ordinarily feel the edge of
any object with these two fingers at
the same time unless the part felt with
the little finger projects beyond the
part felt by the forefinger.-St. Louis

France and Fourteen.

the number fourteen that has played a
conspicuous and portentous part in her
history. On May IA. 1854, the Rue de

Of Henri H.. and four times fourteen
years later Henri Nv. was assassinated
there by Ravaillac-namely, on May
II, 1910. Henri had lived four times
fourteen years. fourteen weeks and
four times fourteen days-that is. fifty
six years and five months Then Hen
RIG son, Louis XIII.. died May II.
1643. the same day and month as his
father. And 1913 added together
equals fourteen. Just as 1858. the year
of the birth Of Henri ~. equals four

1913. which, added together, equals
fourteen, and similarly the year of his
death QT15) equals fourteen.-London

JAPANESE PAGODAS.
Enormous Pendulums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.

Enormous Pendulums Render These
Old Structures Earthquake Proof.
The only old structures in Japan
which seem to be earthquake proof are
the pagodas. which were erected before
the temples. There are many which
are 700 or 800 years old and as solid
as when first built.
There is a reason for this. and it lies
in their construction. A pagado is
practically framework Of heavy tim
bers which starts from a wide base
and is in itself substantial structure,
but rendered still more stable by q
peculiar device. Inside the framework
and suspended from the apex is a
long, heavy beam of timber two feet
thick or more. This hangs from one
end of the four sides. Four more heavy
timbers, and If the pagoda be very
lofty still more timbers, are added to
these. The whole forms an enormous
pendulum, which reaches within six
inches Of the ground.
When the shock of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda the pendulum swings
IN unison and keeps the center of grav-
ity always at the base of the frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium
OF the pagoda is never disturbed, and
this is the explanation of the great
age of many of them. when from their
height one would suppose them to be
peculiarly susceptible to the effects of
the earthquake.
