The great wave of religious revivals has
reached Searsport and beginning last evening
meetings will be held twice daily until March
9Th, in Union hall, under the leadership of
Evangelist John W. Hatch, assisted by his
nephew Ohio Hatch, soloist and leader Of the
big chorus which will be organized at the
opening meeting. 1t is earnestly desired by
the pastors of the Searsport churches, and the
committees having the meetings in charge.
that these Gays be specially set apart by all
who any way interested in the moral
and religious life of the town for personal
reflection, Bible study, earnest prayer and, as
opportunity offers, to help others to come to
the services.
One of the most enjoyable concerts and
dances given in Searsport in long time was
that of last Friday night in Union hall by the
University of Maine orchestra, assisted by NJ.
E. Fassett, reader, under the auspices of the
senior class Of the Searsport High school.
There was fair-sized attendance, but if there
was any lack in numbers it was made up by en-
thusiasm. Every number was heartily ap-
plauded and MIR. Fassett was encored again
and again. He is one of the finest readers
ever heard in Searsport, and his selections
were particularly well chosen. He held the
closest attention of the audience from the
start, and one and all hope that an opportunity
will often be given Searsport to hear him.
Following the concert was delightful hop
with music by the excellent orchestra. Lester
Whittier of the senior class, Searsport High
school was floor manager.

FAN MAKING IN CHINA
STARTED CENTURIES AGO
Large Output in the Pengchow
District

The following account of fan max
ing in southern China is from Consul
Albert w. Pontius at Swatow:
This industry was started centuries
ago in the village of Pengchow, at
Ampow, about three miles from Swa-
tow. 1t was formerly confined to
women in various households, but for
many years past every family in the
village has been devoted to the work,
all the members of the families being
occupied in the manufacture. In the
city of Chaochowfu itself the fan in
dustry is also large, but the Pengchow
district abounds in a particular kind
Of bamboo especially suitable for the
ribs and handle, and to this fact is the
large output of the latter place at
tributed
Only the open fan is manufactured
in this district. For the frame the
split bamboo is repeatedly rived until
each piece is sufficiently slender and
flexible. These thread like pieces of
bamboo are arranged in a row, at
tached to each other by thread passed
crosswise through the middle. This
thread is fastened to a semicircular
strip of bamboo giving the fan it's
shape. The ribs are then slightly
heated and bent at the ends. The fan
has now the peculiar characteristic
shell like shape at the top Very
f1imsy silk gauze is then pasted on the
face, and a kind of tissuelike paper on
the back.
After the handle is attached the bor-
der of the fan is black vanished and
the gauze is coated with chalk and
water mixture. The handles are made
of bamboo, various kinds of hardwood
bone and ivory. The hand painting
on the fans is cIeverly done, in some
Instances being works of art. The
medium quality fan retails for 25 cents
Mexican Go cents gold), better grades,
81 to 81 Mexican t40 cents to $1.60).
The amount now exported yearly
amounts to about $4,000. The fan
trade of late has shown a decrease,
due to the importation of Japanese
straw fans, which have met with
favorable demand.

JAW OF PREHISTORIC
MAN IS DISCOVERED
heidelberg Find Declared to
Precede Glacial Period

The recent discovery by the eminent
anthropologist, Doctor SchOetensack,
near Heidelberg, Germany, of the lower
Jaw of a man in a preglacial deposit
is attracting marked attention in lead
ing anthrOpological circles, says the
London Globe. All the discoveries tend
TO increase the presumptive antiquity
of mans presence on earth, and even
the degree of culture and civiliza ton
he is supposed to have possessed.
These Heidelberg remains are pro-
nounced to be certainly preglacial, and
unquestiOnably older than any hereto
fore discovered The marked affinity
which the inaudible or lower jaw pre-
sents to those of the anthropoid apes
leads many to believe that here at
least has been discovered the truly
missing link"
The most striking of these resem-
blances are the size and thickness Of
the jaw and the absence of any trace
of chin forma tion.

SQUIRRELS MAKE THEIR
HOME IN ZIG HOSPITAL
Taught to Come to Wa: s for
Their Meals

One often hears of the town mouse.
the country mouse and the church
mouse, but there is something novel
a hospital squirrel. A few months ago
the patients at the Hospital for Incura-
bles, Heaton Mersey, Manchester. were
delighted, says the Countryside. to see
that squirrel had strayed into the
grounds and had taken up his residence
there. There are many trees and shrubs
in the grounds, so that he has chosen
a suitable place for his home. How to
retain him was the dearest question
to the heart of the patients. This has
been accomplished by providing him
with nuts which are most suitable to
his taste. A nurse having charge of a
room in the second floor was the first
to feed him from the window with fill
bert nuts, from which the green leaves
had not been removed. This was done
in the first instance by throwing them
on the ground.
1t was suggested that if provision
was made by which the squirrel could
climb up to the windows and be fed
he would eventually come inside This
was mentioned to the secretary. and a
rope was placed in position The sauir-
rel was fed at the bottom of the rope,
and seeing the nuts on the window
sills climbed the rope and enjoyed
them. up he came. and the window
of the ward being open in he came with
caution. In a moment he was relish
ing the nuts and bread and milk which
had been placed on the dresser.
Another squirrel has been bought.
and they come to this ward regularly
for their meals.

ARCHBISHOP GLENNON
is NOTED FOR REPARTEE
Has Gift of Laughing People
Out of Troubles

Perhaps among none of the thou
sands who shook the archbishop S
hand and extended fluctuations on the
occasion of his silver jubilee, says the
St Louis Republic. were there any
more loyal friends than the news
paper folk
Few of the craft, when on occasion
the exigencies of the profession have
made their curiosity in affairs of state
embarrassing, have not been dis
patched genial1y and tactfuly with a
joke. It's the archbishop's way.
Whether he is "jollying" crowd of
the guests at Father Dempsey's hotel,
kidding a congregation of little
newsies or taking down the i'm
portance of some grave and reverend
father, or Joking" the affected dignity
of some captain of industry, or teas
ing the supercilious small talk of
some fashionable maid or matron of
society. or laying genial encourage
ment on the distressed and pious old
lady by laughing her out of her trou-
bles, the archbishop of st. Louis never
lacks for his repartee.

ORKNEY'S REDSHANkS
TAME WHEN IT'S SAFE
English Birds Car Tell When
Stroller Has Gun

III A. b." writing in Country Life,
says: [ have never seen redshanks so
tame or so indifferent to the approach
of human beings as they are in Ork-
ney, where they are seldom shot at.
On the southern coast of England, and,
indeed. in most parts of this country,
the redshank is a fidgety and chiding
creature, a sore trial to the shore
shooter from it's inveterate habit of
warning other and more desirable
birds of the approach of danger
In Orkney redshanks display little
or no fear of man when that man is
fishing or merely strolling about; at
the Standing Stone hotel, Stennes, one
need seldom walk more than 100
yards or so without coming across
them
Even in Orkney. however. when the
gunner goes forth in search of sport.
the redshank appreciates the distinc-
ton, and Will resume its habit of
warning other creatures; the seal
stalker especially seems to be an OBJ
