President Buckham Dead.

President M. H. Buckham of the
University of Vermont, died at 1870
o'clock Tuesday morning after 10
days illness with bronchial trouble
and complication of diseases.
Mr.. Buckham was 78 years old.
He was born July 4, 1882, in
Hinckley, Leicestershire, England,
and was the son of Rev. James and
Margaret (Barnby) Buckham. The
former was of Scotch and the latter
of English blood.
Matthew Henry Buckham was
graduated from the University Of
Vermont with the degree of bachelor
of arts, class of 1851. He received
the highest honors of his class,
although at that time he was but Io
years of age.
He acted as principal OF Lenox
academy III Massachusetts, for the
two years immediately following.
He came back to his university the
next year, where he acted as tutor
of languages.
President Buckham spent the
years Of 1854 and 1856 abroad and
on his return to this country he was
made professor of Greek at the
University OF Vermont. This chair
he held until he was elected to the
presidency in 1871, and although
from 1856 to 1857 and again from
1863 to 1871 he acted as professor

store when the fire was discovered.
The fire started in the part of the
building where the drugs were kept,
which accounts for its spreading 30
rapidly. 1t was later learned that
the safe had been forcibly opened
and as that stood under the shelving
containing the drug department it is
thought that the burglars in their
operations accidentally set the fire.
Help responded quickly from sur
rounding towns and after hard
fight succeeded in saving the home
of H w. Fowler and other buildings
which lay north of the FIRE and were
all close together. Mr.. SpauldinR
saved some of his goods The loss
runs up. well into the thousands and
was partly covered by insurance.
The burned store, tenement and barn
occupied by Fowler & Son were
owned by Mrs. w P. Smith, At
this writing it cannot be learned
whether they will be rebuilt or not.
The fire was discovered about 2
o'clock in the morning and was under
control at 4 80 Those living south
of the village heard an automobile
going north about l o'clock and
shortly after that or another one went
south toward Royalton at furious
rate. An explosion was heard shortly
before the fire was discovered, but
whether it was caused by blowing
the safe or from burning chemicals
it is impossible to determine The
burglars were evidently frightened
away by the fire which set in so
quickly or by some noise outside, as
they did not stop to rife the safe.

Now Facts Versus Old Theories In the

Now Facts Versus Old Theories In the
Conquest Of the Air.
One of the long accepted theories Of
science had to be overthrown before
there could be practical start made
in mechanical flying. 1t was Profess
sor 8. p. Langley who gave this the
ory its quietus and established the
new law in aerodynamics. Newton,
the gravity discoverer, had figured out
a certain graduated scale of resistance
affected by the air against objects
moving through 1t. Nobody thought to
question 1t until French scholar APP
piled Newton's law in the case of the
flight of bird. He figured 1t out that
to attain the speed at which swal-
low flies it would be necessary for
that little feathered aviator to possess
the strength of a Harvard fullback.
Professor Langley demonstrated by
practical tests that brass plate
weighing one pound lost fifteen ounces
of that weight when whirled through
the air at the rate of seventy miles an
hour. 1t weighed only one ounce
that's new aerodynamics-and Newton
was Immediately ruled out as an an
thority in this particular line. Nc
cording to Newton's law Grahame-
white would have been compelled to
develop the power of the Twentieth
Century limited to accomplish that
trip to Boston light. Three hundred
years of precedents were swept away
when Professor Langley established
the new law of aerodynamics.- Will

State Acquires New Tracts of
Land.

The state, through State Forester
A. F. Halves, has acquired two tracts
of land, each comprising 45 acres,
five miles south of Plainfield. These
tracts sdjoin the L. r. Jones state
forest of 450 acres, and were bought
for 81 an acre. They were owned
by the Methodist church of Plain
geld and by acquiring this property
the state now owns $40 acres of
forest land in Washington county.
Mr.. Hawes marked 10000 feet of
timber to be cut in the Jones forest.
This cutting is TO be done in order
to improve the remaining trees. The
amount to be realized from the sale
of the timber will cover part of the
expense of planting seedlings of pine
and spruce on the uB@ooded part of
the 450-acre tract, in the spring.
This is an attempt to make the state
forest paying proposition after all

The Lottery In Cuba.

No country can hope to prosper
which not merely permits but actually
encourages gambling. The Cuban gov
ernment expected to get large part
of its revenue from the national lot
terry, only to find the amount fall
ing far below expectations, not because
the lottery is waning In popularity,
but simply because the steady drain on
the resources of the poor has deprived
them of the means of buying more
tickets. Soon after the lottery was in
troduced there began significant and
steadily increasing rise In the number
of ejectments for noppayment of rents.
Schoolteachers, too, tell narrowing
stories of children unable to go to
school because of lack of shoes or 9TH
ers practically starving because every
cent went In the lottery.-Leslie's.

THE PURBEcK MARBLERs.
An Enslish Industry Entirely Free
From Labor Disputes.

An En0heh INDUSTRY Enk'reD rroo
From Labor Disputes.
There is an industry carried on in
England which is entirely free from
strikes, lockouts and labor disputes
in general.
This remarkable state of affairs
is due to the simple fact that the
men are the masters and the mas
ters are the men.
The industry in which the corpo-
ration is engaged consists of quar-
rying the marble found in the Isle
of Purbeck, a peninsular district of
Dorsetshire. Nearly hundred
quarries are worked here, in what
used to be royal deer forest, and
the whole of the industry is man
aged by a curious kind of trades
guild, entitled "The Ancient Guild
of Purbeck Marblers."
All the marble belongs to the de-
scendants of the original Purbeck
quarrymen who formed the guild,
and no other person has any right
in the quarries. None other is al
lowed to join the guild None can
ever become a member of the guild
save he be of the blood.
This peculiar guild has been in
existence for many hundreds of
years-probably, indeed, before the
coming of the Normans. AS soon as
quarryman's son reaches the age
of fourteen he is admitted to the
guild, being apprenticed under
some member, usually his father,
until he is of age. When he reaches
the age of twenty-one he is entitled
to become freeman Of the guild.
Every Shrove Tuesday meeting is
held in the town hall at Corfe Cas-
tie, where those entitled to their
freedom pay the price, which con-
sists of 6s Sd, large tankard of
ale and penny loaf.
When once the man becomes free
in this manner he has the right to
take marble or stone from anywhere
he wishes in the isle, though, of
course, he has to pay a fixed roy
atty. If they wish to open quarry
on any mans land they simply set
to work, without bothering to ask
leave. If quarryman wishes to
construct private road so as to be
able to carry his stone through to
the main turnpike, he does it.
Without question he is entitled to
drive his road over any private es-
tate.-London Answers.

Price of Ivory Inereasina.

Ivory continues to make rapid gains
In cost and may sooner or later be
In class with gold. At the sales In
Europe the tremendous demand pushes
up the price. The allotment for each
sale seems to be the same, and with
a gaining consumption It is logical to
expect a price advance.
This Will continue until substitute
ivory Is discovered or ivory is secured

buy great many tusks for piano keys
and use the very latest method of cut
ting and bleaching, the margin Of
profit in finished key ivory Is exceed

Sadly Neglected In American Restau-

"If people did but know it." said a
man who has made study of the
food question, carrots are among the
most nutritious and delightful vege-
tables that grow, and yet it is almost
impossible to get them in restaurants.
mashed carrots, to my mind, make
q delightful dish, tasty and health
full, and yet have failed to find this
dish on any bill OF fare so far, and
have examined good many in the
hope of finding the carrot recognized
as 1t should be recognized. You can
get mashed turnips almost anywhere
you go, but the only use they have
for carrots is to flavor soup or stews,
although now and then one does strike
them served in cream as delicacy.
''But why not serve them like pota-
toes and turnips? Carrots are splen-
did for the blood, good for the COM
plexion and at night are supposed to
be quieting. Their digestibility IL
served mashed surpasses nearly all
other vegetables. A delicate stomach
will get away with them when other
vegetables would work harm.
"And yet the carrot seems to be
without friend in the restaurant and
hotels. You can't even find them in
the list of vegetables to be cooked to
order. 1t may be different with some
other nations, but here apparently we
have no use for them, and the person
who wants mashed carrots will have
to cook them at his own fireside. DE
