on quite an extensive scale. he contend
ed that the great reason why the fruit
growers Of Maine did not rise to their
full opportunities was lack Of capital.
He said that for some years he had been
seeking substitute for cultivation In
the orchard, but had not found 1t, and
gave comparative figures from his own
orchard showing its value. In closing,
he had good word for the Ben Davis,
of which he Is large producer, and by
the way, he had some on exhibition

quaint sayings that for generations has
been used on the lower eastern shore
Of Maryland. but from the accounts
that have been given BY those who
lived In old Jennie's day there never
has been q: day since that time as dark
as the day on which she was executed
for wholesale murder in the neighbor-
hood in which she lived.
} The old murderess was publicly
hanged in 1915 in the old jail yard at
Princess Anne, and all those who re-
membered that particular day have
passed into the great beyond long ago.
The murderess was a white woman.

she resembled what was popularity
supposed to be- "A witch far more than

day. IN fact, local history records that
she practiced witchcraft. No one ever
knew where she came from, 1he hav-

The rope was fixed in rude fashion

WINGS THAT WERE FINS.

Evidence That Psnguin's Pinions Were
Once Used For Swimming.
Ornithological puzzles are the PEN
gums, with their curiously shaped
wings and odd. unbirdlike. upright car
riage. The peculiarities Of their wings
suggest that the penguins are descend
ants of birds which used their wings
rather than legs in the pursuit Of prey
under water. and as the struggle in
tensif1ed between the competing indi-
viduals the most expert at this sort of
swimming would get the most food
and GUST less successful rivals: The
winners gained advantage over their
neighbors In proportion as their wings
improved as swimming organs and in
versely and of necessity became less
suited to perform the work Of fight.
In all other birds the feathers. though
shed annually, are more or less grad
ually displaced. But in the penguins
the new feathers all start into being at
the same time and thrust out the old
feathers upon their tips so that these
come away in great fakes. Whereas
in all birds save penguins the new
feathers as they thrust their way
through the skin end in pencil-like
points. formed by investing sheaths,
In the penguins these sheaths are open
at the tips and attached by their rims
to the roots Of the old feathers, and
hence these are held to their success
sors until they have attained sufi-
cient length to insure protection against
cold. ~
The curious device for retaining the
warmth afforded by the old feathers
until the new generation can fill their
places is apparently due to the fact
that penguins are natives Of the ant
arctic regions, although some now In.
habit tropical seas.-Chicago Tribune.
