OBITUARY. Mrs Eliza E. (Bickmore) Black,
wife of Judge Joshua w. Black of Searsport,
passed to the better life on the evening OF
Oct LIST, after long illness, patiently and I'M
compainingly borne. The many friends and ac-
quaintances of the family feel deep sympathy
for them in this second bereavement, following
closely on the death of the younger daughter,
Edna, to whom tribute of affectionate remem-
brance was paid in The Journal only few
weeks ago. Mrs. Black, who was born on June
10, 1913, was the daughter of Josiah and Han
nah (Temple) Bickmore, who came to live in
Searsport a little over 62 years ago. Their
family consisted of two sons Col Chas. Bick
more and J. Friendly Bickmore, both dead;
and five daughters Hannah J. (Mrs. Shute
of Searsport); Julia A. (Mrs. Getchell of So
Berwick): Eliza E. Mrs. Black); Helen r.
MRS. Hook of Harrington) and Margaret A.,
who died when an infant. Of these Mrs. Shute,
Mrs. Getchell and Mrs. Hook survive. Mrs.
Black was married in August, 1874, to Joshua
W. Black of Searsport, and of their faml-
Nv there survive, with her husband, to
mourn her going Lieut.. Fred F. Black OF the
18th u S. Infantry now stationed at Santiago
Cuba, and Jessie NJ, wife of John Montgomery
of Bucksport The only other child Edna, the
Youngest, this summer passed into the unseen
after sudden and short illness as previously
stated. Mrs. Black was the true house-moth-
er; quiet, amiable and home-loving, to whom
the eulogism of Proverbs well applied line

she was much respected and esteemed.

Cant and Mrs Andrew Ross of Searsport, were
mietly married at the home of the brides par
ents on Monday, Oct 18th, at 10 a. M, Rev.
Robert c. Harbutt officiating. On account of
the so recent death of the grooms mother the
wedding was private, in the presence only of
immediate friends. The groom was in full
dress uniform, and the bride, looking very
charming and pretty was gowned in old ivory
Luna lace over Liberty satin, and trimmed
with chiffon. The happy couple left on the
noon train en- route for Cuba where Lieut..

them the good wishes of host of friends by
whom they are both held in very high esteem

A. Carver, Amos D. Carver and Miss Eliza
beth E. Carver of Brooklyn, N Y, heirs of
the late Capt. George A. Carver, of public
library building, to be built of granite and
pressed brick, with heating apparatus and

27 by Al feet and 1876 posted. 1t is to be
erected on the Joshua Black lot, so-called, on
the corner of Union and Mortland streets, is to
cost about $4,000, and will be called "The

DEEP SEA DIVING.
A Descent of Thirty Fathoms Marks
the Limit of Safety.

A Descent of Thirty Fathoms Marks
the Limit of Safety.
The depth to which a diver can de-
scend is limited by his power for with
standing the pressure Of the water.
Apparently a descent of thirty faith
oms $50 feet of water marks the
limit of safety for even few divers
who possess the necessary physical
fitness in combination with disregard
for danger beyond the average.
Records In deep sea diving have to
be accepted with the proverbial grain
Of salt. 1t has been claimed that a
diver reached thirty-three fathoms and
a half while engaged In salvage opera
lions recently on the west coast Of
South America, and yet again another
diver working on the same wreck is
reported to have brought up three
bars Of copper from depth Of forty
fathoms at the expense of his life.
An expert who has superintendent a
large number of diving operations has
found that very few men, whatever
their build, are capable Of combating
the severe strain which Is brought to
bear upon their physical energies for
few minutes at depth Of twenty or
thirty fathoms Many Of his divers
dared not venture below ten fathoms.
OF 352 divers employed at greater
depths thirty were seriously injured,
and the result was fatal in ten in
stances.-Harpers

Of Queensberry among them, fiocked
rapturously to the "Newgate pasto>

Of sixty-two nights, unprecedented in
those days, and as one result Of it's
success Handel became bankrupt. Sud-
denly there came an order from the
lord chancellor to stop the new piece.
Why, Is not exactly known unless 1t
was because the prime minister consid-
cred himself to be too faithfully rep

have been, the theater had to be closed,
whereupcn the Duchess of Queensber-
ry took up Gays cause and vehemently
championed it.
Very busy was she in those days
driving about in her coach asking for

Paperinq Damp Walls.

An excellent and comparatively IN
expensive way to paper damp walls Is
the following: Paint corrugated card
board, such as is sold for packing
bottles, etc, on both sides with as
phalt varnish and fix it when dried
with five-eighths inch tin tacks to the
damp wall so that the smooth surface
is directed toward the room and the
corrugations run from ceiling to floor
against the wall At the floor level
one-half inch should be left uncovered.
The cardboard should then be covered
with coarse hessians or other packing
material, on which a plain covering
paper and lastly the wall hangings
may be pasted. The skirting board
should be removed while lacking ION
the cardboard, which should have
small holes of an inch In length made
IL the raised corrugations at intervals
Of ten to twelve inches before it is at
tached to the wall.-Architects and

Embarrassing.

A rather pompous looking deacon in
certain city church was asked to
take charge Of a class Of boys during
the absence of the regular teacher.
While endeavoring to impress upon
their young minds the Importance of
living a Christian life the following
question was propounded:
"Why do people call me Christian,
children?' the worthy dignitary asked,
standing very erect and smiling down
upon them.
Because they don't know you," was
the ready answer of bright eyed lit
tie boy, responding to the ingratiating
smile with one equally guileless and
winning.--Lippincott'

The Way to Correct This Fault and
Get Beneficial Results.
Reading can be made much great

now only read when they can find no
other pleasures" said Columbia uni
versity lecturer on English literature.
"You have perhaps noticed with
what keen sense Of satisfaction some
people read the newspapers. Do you
went to know the secret Of their abil-
ity to extract enjoyment in this way!
Well, you have probably noticed that
those who can so rivet their attention
to the printed page are the ones who
make 1t a point to talk about what
they have read.
'@rhat is the secret. Try 1t. Read
something, then tell some one about
It. Do this with books as well as with
papers. Soon you will notice that in
reading a story you fix in your mind
the things you want to relate. You
get the writer's point Of view, then
you fix upon the points he has pre-
eented.
AT the beginning your story telling
will lack the completeness Of the story
as written, and you will notice that
your shortcomings in this direction
are due to listless reading. This will
correct itself just to the extent Of
your ambition to become reader for

this bit of advice before and have

Paoua Island.

Papua islard was 50 named by the
Malays. and the word means "fri2@led."
In reference to the hair Of the inhabit-
ants. 1t is generally supposed that
Papua or New Guinea was originally
part Of the mainland of Australia. 1t
was discovered by the Portuguese In
1926, though it was probably sighted
by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen
years earlier. The Australian govern
ment, realizing the danger that would
arise If an enemy seized land SO near
their coasts, frequently urged England
to annex the eastern portion Of the
island, and after two or three unau-
thorized annexations a British rrotec-
torate was established there in 1884.

THE PARACHUTE.
Leonardo da Vinci Was the First One
to Suggest 1t.

Leonardo da Vinci Was the First One
to Suggest 1t.
Credible accounts exist Of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver Of Malmes-
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height of a tower with the
assistance Of wings attached to his
arms and his feet It is said that, hav-
ing gone along little way, he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his accl-
dent to failure to provide his appara-
tus with tail, which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent a gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo Ola
! Vinci first demonstrated that bird,
| which is heavier than the air, sustains
itself, advances in the air, 'by render
ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where it does not pass" In order
to fly It has to fix it's point Of support
on the air. It's wings in the descending
stroke exert q pressure from above
down, the reaction Of which from be-
low up forces the center Of gravity OF
it's body to ascend at each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain it. Some sketches which have
come down to us prove that Leonardo
occupied himself, like Oliver Of Malmes-
bury, with giving man the power to fly
by the assistance Of wings suitably
fixed to the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed In the following terms: eff
man had a pavilion each side of which
was fifteen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear of
danger" 1t may be said, too, of Leo
nardo da Vinci that he was the first to
suggest the idea of the screw propeller.

Their Green
Gown.

"Pd love to go, Aunt Lily, but you
know 1 haven't a decent thing to
wear" Mildred looked wistfully at the
invitation in her hand.
Miss Weston thoughtfully turned a
worn little ring on her slim finger as
she surveyed her pretty niece.
They looked very much alike, Miss
Lily and young Mildred, only the aunt
was slender to thinness and her once
golden hair had faded to ashen blond,
but her eyes were as beautiful and
long dashed and full Of depth and
sweetness as they had been fifteen
years ago, and her skin was as fair
and her lips were as red as Mildred's.
1.-THE check book tells a sorry tale,
DEAR" she said at length, ''but perhaps

AUNT Lfyl I can't take anything
more from you. You have given me
your embroidered muslin and the pink
silk-and I have worn them out. Don't
tempt mew The girl covered her ears
and closed her eyes tightly.
"Don't be foolish, Mildred" protest
ed Miss Weston. 81 want you to go to
the Patterson dance, and you must
have new gown. My green tissue can
be altered and will make you a sweet
frock. Come to my room and try it
on"
Reluctantly Mildred followed her
aunt to the pretty front room where
the older woman spent much of her
time.
The furniture was rather old fash
.oned, but of fine quality, for 1t had

been purchased in the days before Lily
Weston had lost most of her fortune.
Miss Weston spread the green gown
onAthe bed and surveyed it with a
strange yearning in her eyes. 1t was
of fine silken tissue in tender leaf
green and embroidered here and there
with tiny golden flower.
A pair of green slippers with gold
buckles and green stockings were tuck
ed In one corner of the box from which
the gown had been produced.
at is lovely, Aunt Lily! I suppose
you have worn 1t to dances too"
81 wore it more than once, Mildred,
and had the happiest times Of my life.
Now you must wear it, and I hope
you will be equally happy" She bent
and kissed the girl tenderly, and MIL
dred felt warm drop on her cheek,
but when she looked at her aunt Miss
Weston was smiling.
Come" she said blithely, ''get your
workbasket."
Mildred danced with tireless energy
at the Patterson ball. The green gown
was vastly becoming to her fair beau
ty, and she had never looked more
charming.
Lester Stearns had succumbed to her
loneliness and In the fragrant GOODNESS
of the conservatory he asked Mildred
to marry him. She was radiant with
happiness when Mrs. Patterson ap-
preached her, followed by a tall
stranger.
Mildred, dear, Captain Gray has re-
quested an introduction to the girl in
the green gownr Miss Lane-Captain
Gray! Now, Mr.. Stearns, you may
take me into the supper room" With
a little nod she was gone with the re-
luctant lover.
Mildred looked at her new acquaint-
ance, and decided at once that she
would like him. He was a man in the
prime of life, with a brown, rugged
face that told Of an out Of door life.
Strength and kindness were In his
gray eyes and vigor In his large, well
muscled frame.
II have seen your gown before, Miss
Lane" said Captain Gray abruptly.
"You must be Mistaken" laughed
Mildred. II have never worn 1t until
this evening""
"It was worn by another girl" he
said thoughtfully, 'a girl who looked
Just as you do 1t is fifteen years ago
that saw her last, and she wore the
green gown"
"It must have been Aunt Lily" said
Mildred constrained1y.
"It was Lily Weston-then."
