FINE PEAT BOG IS IN MAINE.
Substance Of Wealth Discovered by
Mere Accident.

An analysis Of the strange mixture
which spurted ten feet In the air when
Henry Hagan was digging trench on
the Alonzo Davis place at Norridge.
wock few weeks ago shows that 1t is
the finest peat.
So finely separated are the particles
that the substance after the water
evaporates from 1t Is nearly all car.
bon. 1t hardens quickly, and when in
this state burns readily. Hagan was
digging trench through 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 1t contained oil, but the
analysis showed this conclusion to be
erroneous. About ten tons are in
sight. and 1t is believed that there
Is still a larger deposit under the sur.
lace. These suppositions are borne out
by the fact that the stun spouted out
like an oil well for while, indicating
that somewhere 1t Is under great pres.
sure from a clay or other deposit

Trick Files.

In lecture on dies before the Royal
Photographic society Of London. F. p.
Smith said that with q little patience
files could be trained, and he showed
some cinematograph records of eies
lying on their backs twirling miniature
dumb-bells. balancing weights bigger
than themselves. climbing revolving
wheels and acting Is nursemaids. Ac.
curately balanced little machines were
used for training the fies. and the
only discomfort to the insect, said
the lecturer. was involved In Its being
Imprisoned for day or 80. On be.
ing released, although its wings were
uninjured, 1t had no desire to ay.
but showed tractableness and readi.
ness to perform these extraordinary
gyrations instead.

Peas Bring Luck.

N. c. Burriss said large numbers
of negroes came into his store this
morning and bought peas, the ordinary
table peas, and usually in small quan-
titles. The large number of such peas
excited his curiosity and he asked one
of the negroes what it meant. He was
told that the negroes believed that If
they ate peas on the first day of the
year they would have money all the
rest of the year. Many negroes be-
lieve in 1t and all Of them had peas
for dinner.-Anderson Mail.

Encouragement.

There is a young clubman of Phila.
delphia who has been most persistent
In his suit for the hand Of the only
daughter Of wealthy old merchant of
that city.
Not long ago q friend meeting the
young man on the street asked:
How are things, Tom? Has she
given you any encouragement"
Il should say so." replied Tom.
only last night she told me that she
would get every cent Of the old mans
fortune when he dies."

Hardships AvaiIed Nothing.

Two Russian sailors, wishing to de-
sert from their ship lying in the Tyne,
England, took boat and rowed for the
open sea. They took with them food
and clothing and 5000 in cash. The
flood tide set them inshore again and
they tried to land, but the sea was run
ming too high. For many hours they
drifte1 helplessly about and finally
their tiny craft was pitched upon the
beach of Manhaven, near South
Shields. Here they took refuge In a
cave, where they lived four days and
nights. until their food became ex-
hausted. Hunger drove them into the
open and eventually they were ar
rested.

Determining Physical Condition.

Children differ in development, and
DIR. I. NJ. Rotch has pointed out that
the present method Of regulating child
labor by age is unscientific and unsat.
isfactory. One child may be as well
developed and capable Of endurance
at IL as another several years older.
He proposes that the X-rays be used
in estimating the capacity Of the young
and immature, as sufficient study will
make 1t practicable to gauge physical
condition by the state of development
OF the bones Of the body, and thus give
rational basis for determining what
work may be permitted.

Cashier Had Il All.

In Basin, Wyo. few years ago.
there was plot hatched to hold up

through, but one day after 1t had been

To Remove Old Paper from Walls.

Many women do their own paper

made very easy in the following way:
The paper was wet thoroughly with a

Proposition to Discontinue Interurban Service Not Pleasing-The Plan Pro- posed.

The proposal to discontinue the in- terurban service between Rockville and Hartford is not at all pleasing to patrons of this end of the line. Ac- cording to the proposed plan, cars from Stafford Springs, instead of running over the tracks of the steam road from Rockville to East Hartford. will run on the regular trolley tracks. It takes half an hour longer to go flom Rock vile to Hartfcrd on the trolley than on the interurban. It is said, however, that by making some improvements along the line the running time can be cut down IS minutes. This will make 15 minutes longer run from Stafford Springs to Hartford than at present. It now takes an hour and 45 minutes, and if the new plan is adopted the run ming time between Stafford Springs and Hartford will be two hours

Thoushtless Young Man, Who Brings Sorrow to Worthy Family, Placed on Probation,

FiNpd1loNs
 Ernest Gaudreau was before Judge William A. Aronld in police court on Monday morning, and was arraigned Tn chambers, being a minor. He was charged with larceny of a gold watch aqd fob and three dollars. Through his guardian, William c. Lyman, he pleaded guilty to both counts. He was fined S10 and costs on the first and sentenced to 30 days in the county jail, and s1 and costs on the second. Execution of judgment was suspended and the young man placed on probation for a period of six months. Prosecuting Attorney E. Frank Bugbee stated to the court that after an investigation of the case he had found that Gaudreau had taken the watch fob and money to purchase medicine, as he was sick. The young man comes from an excellent family and inasmuch as it was his first of- fence he was let off easy and given an opportunity to turn over new leaf.
 Mr. Stearns did not accuse the young man of relieving him of the various other sums that have been stolen from time to time.
 Alec Baranski. charged with receiv- ing and concealing stolen property, entered plea of not guilty. The judge stated that he had acted as counsel for the accused, and in view of that fact he would continue the case until this morning. so that Judge James A. Shea might hear the case.
