Church a. smuooIers' Cave.

Owing to the presence Of the fleet
in the Thames. Canvey island has had
great influx Of good class visitors.
Everybody visits the one little church
with Its many stained glass windows,
which Is famous for some amazing
smuggling exploits.
The present vicar, the Rev. Watson
Hager. NJ. A.. relates how within the
last half century. before he was ap-
pointed, the church was served from
the mainland village Of Benfleet. The
bishop Of the diocese had arranged
for 26 services to be conducted during
the year. intending Of course that
they should be held fortnightly.
Instead, however. they were held
consecutively. SO for six months Of
the year the church was never opened.
Taking advantage of this extraordin-
airy state OF things q band Of SNUG
glers used the building as a very safe
hiding place for storing kegs Of rum,
bales OF tobacco, laces and other con-
traband goods.
Some Of these daring smugglers are
still living ON the island.-London NJ.

A Maine Peat We'll"

An analysis of the strange mixture
which spurted ten feet in the air when
Henry Hagan was digging a trench on
the Aonzo Davis place at Norridgewock
a few weeks ago shows that it is the
finest peat So finely separated are the
particles that the substance, after the
water evaporates from it, is nearly all
carbon. 1t hardens quickly, and when
in this state burns readily. Hagan was
digging trench through a piece of low
ground when he struck the vein. 1t
spurted into the air with a rush that
drove the men from the trench. The
substance was so fine that the men
thought it contained oil, but the ANALYSIS
showed this conclusion to be erroneous.
About ten tons are in sight, and it is
believed that there is still larger deposit
under the surface. These suppoSitlons
are borne out by the fact that the stuff
spouted out like an oil well for IA while,
indicating that somewhere it is under
great pressure from a clay or other de-
post. Hagan and his friends have been
using the mud" as a polish on har-
nesses and boots. To the touch it feels
much like graphite.-Kennebec Journal

American passengers came on deck. An
other South American arose from his
deck chair, extended his hands and as
the men shook hands inquired after the
health of the newcomer. his Wife and
his children.
AS they had parted company only
about eight hours before IL the smoking
room, this seemed like unnecessary cour-
tesy. The observer noticed that this
happened in the case Of all the Colon
bians on board, so he asked one mn
about it.
1T is custom of the country, said
he. ''On the occasion of meeting a per-

quiries about the health of the person
