CANNON A CLOCK WEIGHT.
old smooth Bore Performs that Duty
in steepIe OF Church in Maine.

The most unique clock weight in Maine
according to the Kennebec Journal. is in
the steeple OF the Baptist church at Cher
ryfield. II Is an old. smooth-bore cannon.
The old cannon was one Of smooth-bo-e
type and was brought by Gleason r.
Campbell from Boston on one Of the re-
turn trips Of lumber vessels.
II was brought 10 fire salutes. as the
stirring days of the civil war were at
hand. After announcing many Union vic
tories during the war. at the surrender Of
Lee. in 1865 It was taken out for a final
and great salute.
Robert l. Wiley. 4 soldier OF the war
who was al home on furlough. was in
charge of the cannon, and through some
mismana cement premature discharge
Of the gun threw Mr.. Wiley high in the
air. filed his face with powder and tore
one arm of close at the shoulder. The
old gun was then spiked by the angry
citizens and did no more salute service.
When the Second Baptist Church build
ing was built. in 1873, a weight being
wanted for the clock the old gun was
used. For thirty years Il did clock duty,
until 1903, when IL once more received
baptism Of fire and fell IN the ruins Of

WHAT BAD WEATHER COSTS.
business FnIIs OF When 1t Rains,
and other Damage Ensues.

OF course. every one is interested in the
weather, but few think how much effect it
has on trade In this connection the Dres-
dener Anzeiger sums up. apparently from
English sources, some figures concerning
the cost OF bad weather to those engaged
in the different branches Of trade
When it rains nearly all tradesmen com
plain Of bad business except the cigar
Dealers the latter, however, rub hei.
hands with delight. The desire 10 make
a bad day more endurable by a good cigar
increases the takings Of the cigar dealer
by 10 per cent That public-house keepers
in the city have no cause for complaint
every one knows. Whoever has anything
to do in the street supplies himself with
umbrella and rain coat. and these cost
money
In nearly all other shops the ploprietors
wait unavailingly for customers. Women
especially have no great desire TO shop in
the rain. That means a considerable loss
Of trade. 1t has been estimated that the
shops in the West End Of London lose by
single rainy day $500 900.
Some kinds Of merchandise are esne-
cially sensitive to the influence Of the
weather. Mutton and pork. for instance.
are spoiled by very strong electric dis
charges; so that many a butcher viii lose
$50 10 N5 by a thunderstorm.
A real London fog is much more ex-
pensive. by reason Of It's impenetrable
darkness. For gas alone London axpends
a day when there is a fog $3.50 more than
usual. The apOthecaries are pleased by
such weather for the reason that il
causes a number Of diseases, so that their
income Is doubled.
The underground railways also have
their income increased by rain and fog.
Naturally II is much more pleasant to BE-
protected from wind and wet than TO sit
on the top OF an omnibus and get soaked
through.
SO nature causes considerable expendi-
ture for man. She herself Is a spend
thrift. as in a storm she wastes giant
forces. The storm that destroyed Calves

by all the steam engines OF the world for
years a single thunderstorm would suf-
