The Democratic Legislature.

The 10Th Maine legislature was convened
at Augusta at 10 a. m. yesterday, Gov. Bert NJ
Fernald administering the oath of office to the
senators and representatives. The caucus
nominees were balloted for and both branches
organized, with Frank A. Morey of Lewiston
speaker of the House and Nathan Clifford
of Portland president of the Senate. In the
evening joint caucus was held for the selec-
ton of candidate for the United States sena-
torship to succeed Eugene Hale, and for the
nomination of candidates for secretary of
State, State treasurer, commissioner of agri-
culture and seven executive councillors.
This is the first Maine legislature to be Dem
ocratic in both branches since that of 1S47,
which chose James W. Bradbury as United
States Senator. Gov-elect Frederick W. Plais-
ted of Augusta, son of Gen. Harris M. Plaisted
who was elected in 1880 by fusion of Demo-
cratic and Greenback voters, will take the
oath of office at 10 a. m. Thursday, and will be
the first Democratic Governor since the legis-
lature of 1879 chose Alonzo Garcelon of Lewis
ton. After the reading of his inaugural ad-
dress State officials will be chosen in Joint
convention and the legislature will be ready
for the business of the session. The inaugural
address is awaited with a great deal of inter-
est, as it is expected to contain many radical
recommendations and to outline the policy of
the Democratic party during the administra-
tion.
The latest advices from Augusta indicated
that johnson of Waterville would be elected
U. S. Senator.

THE NORTHLAND'S ROUGH EXPERT
ENCE.

The schooner Northland had rough expert
ence last week. She left Philadelphia for
Searsport with cargo of coal, Christmas eve
Although the schooner has auxiliary power it
was not available, as the shaft had been left in
Philadelphia for repairs. Friday was beauti-
full day, but as night closed in a heavy breeze
sprang up, which soon increased to gale. The
schooner was then 80 miles off shore to the
eastward of Cape Cod Orders were given to
lower, the topsails and take in all but the
strongest canvas, but the halliards were frozen
solid to the blocks, and before anything furth-
er could be done all of the topsails were car
riei away. The jibs and spanker quickly fol-
lowed, and a little later the foresail and
mainsail were torn to shreds. It was then
dark and lanterns were useless as the lights
were blown out by the wind. The schooner
was now at the mercy of the gale, and the
water was too deep for anchoring. Soundings
enough to anchor two anchors were dropped
and signals of distress hoisted. Capt. Saun-
ders was accompanied by his wife on this trip,
she having Joined him in Philadelphia that
they might spend the holidays together.
After anchoring she cooked the mems supper
and had prepared table in the captains cabin,
but great wave causing the vessel to roll sud-
denly had dashed the dishes to the floor and
spoiled the food. Later a wave broke the
headlight in Mrs Saunders cabin, completely
drenching her,sand surging forward it tore
two-inch oak door, hinges, threshold and all,
from their places and flooded the cabin with
three feet of water, and all night long the fur
niture in the cabin washed back and forth. At
day break it was found that the schooner occu-
pied position about three miles off shore mid
way between Nauset and Orleans. With the
glasses the lfe-savers could be seen struggling
with two boats, and after struggle of three
hours boat with 16 men from the Nauset and
Orleans stations came alongside and offered to
take the crew ashore or leave some of the men
aboard. They chopped ice from the blocks,
bent the mizzensail and what emergency canvas
was on board, and then left for the shore
About 10 o'clock the cutter Gresham came in
sight and after three hours hard work in the
heavy sea got hawser aboard and took the
schooner in tow and brought her into Boston
Sunday morning. The Northland will be tow
ed to Searsport to discharge her cargo and
then go to Rockland for repairs.

When Governor Cobb went out there was
balance in the treasury of $56s, ,534 IS, with all
warrants and claims paid and some that were
not due. Those who are inclined to criticise
the administration figure out the actual deficit
as about 81, zoe, 900.
The friends of the administration have the
other side of the story and point out that the
$4,000 State capitol improvement, the large
demands for the insane hospital improvements
and the institution for the feeble minded taking
as much more, besides many other demands
for which the last legislature made no pro-
vision, has brought about the deficit the simple
result of spending money by the legislature
without making sufficient appropriations.

As with the compass. the first knowl.
edge Of firearms and lgunpowder may
be traced to the Chinese, who, 1t is re.
corded, used cannons over twenty-five
centuries ago. The principles Of these
crude guns, however, reached Europe
through India. At first these aids to
warfare were on the order Of cannon.
In the fourteenth century n fire tube
with small bore was invented. Until
1916 gunpowder was not readily ex.
plosivc, since the materials were only
roughly cleared ofimpu1ties and then
mixed together on n slab. In 1920
Bcrtholders Swatz discovered proc.
css Of granulating powder which made
1t effective as an explosive. From.
that time on warfare was changed.
Gradually improvements in making
both powder md firearms were made,
and In the fifteenth century the
first form Of hand gun which could
be compared with the modern musket
made Its appearance. At first these
guns were fired BY applying match
mt the 'touchhole, but later triggers
were invented. With the protection
offered by these new weapons It is not
strange that the conquest Of savage
people and wild lands was looked upon
as having lost many. Of its dangers.
