SKOWHECAN To ST. LOUIS
BY ELECTRIC CAR
III Line Was Connected From Here
to Shawmut One Might Make Trip
Entire Way by Trolley.

1t was stated in an article few
one could travel entirely by trolley
line from Skowhegan to Terre Haute,
Indiana. but it is to be presumed that
the writer thought that a trolley line
should be built from Shawmut where
the electric line now ends to Skowhe-
gan, if it were not already there. One
can however, ride from Shawmut to
Portland by electric car line. This
would be a roundabout way for he
must go to Lewiston, then across ny
Lisbon Falls to Brunswick, thence to
Portland. Then from Portland he
could easily go by electric ear line
10 Boston, even to New York. He
can even go to St Louis by electric
cars from Shawmut.
The distance of travel is perhaps
two-thirds or three-fourths greater
than by steam railroad, because the
trolley lines follow the curves of the
highways and touch as many towns as
possible for local traffic and the fares
are somewhat higher.
No through tickets are sold You
have to pay a nickel at time, ac-
cording to the rights of the different
companies to collect it, and in some
places the fare is six cents.
For those who cannot afford auto
mobiles trolley trip in New Eng
land is a delightful experience, and
much more interesting than in any
other part of the country, because the
towns and villages are so pretty and
so near together. The tracks usually
run through shaded streets and high
ways, and historical associations, in
dustrial establishments and pictures
que scenery are more plentiful than
elsewhere.
wouldn't advise anyone to make
the trip from Terre Haute to Show
hogan, for that would be too much
of a good thing; but from New York
to Boston or Portland, and up in the
Berkshires, through the Connecticut
valley and on the coast of Long Island
sound are many attractions that can
not be enjoyed by those who travel
in steam cars.

The refreshment table was presid-
ed over by Miss Ethel knight, as
sisted by the Misses Annie and Marian

NAMES WATERPOWERS.
Names waterpowers are capable
of developing energy equal to that of
"a, 900 600 men. While only a small
portion of this great natural gift is
now in use, yet Maine stands third
among the states of this country in
developed waterpower, with 100000
horsepower and 2800 wheels. Every
brook, every river. even the tides of
the sea, are capable of developing
power which could be used easily and
economically for manufacturing pur-
poses. The State is a land of prom
Use for the user of small power units,
for If he does not find his raw ma
terial, help and power, together, he
can always purchase power from
some large development where ma
terial and help are abundant.
There is a savings institution for
every $500 people. and in these insti-
tutions there is $176S0 for every man
woman and child in the State. There
is a church steeple for every 400
souls and thirty denominations from
which to choose a form of worship.
In addition there are hundreds of
societies not yet strong enough to
maintain edifices, though they are
fourishing and will soon own church
homes.
The vast wilderness of Maine are
in themselves a great source of
wealth. Generation after generation
has taken millions of feet of lumber
and bark from them. 1t is estimated
that the lumberman and papermaker
take $40 10000 from this great natur-
al storehouse annually, and yet do
not endanger the supply of future
generations.-Lewiston Journal.

CHARLES TONER'S NEW
INVENTION
He Has Just Received Patent on
His New Automatic Cut.oii.-It is
Readily Being Adopted.

Charles Tozier has added another
valuable invention to his list. He
has just received a patent on his Ma
tional Automatic Cutoff for boiler
feeds. 1t is used in connection with
low pressure steam heating plants. It
is designed TO avoid the flooding of
boilers and radiators. 1t performs
this service by automatically shutting
off the water supply at the water line,
OF at any desired point in the boiler,
should the operator for any reason
neglect to close the feed valve. II
also serves as a safeguard against
feeding heated boilers too rapidly.
1t is an innovation in safety appli-
4nees OF this nature, no similar de-
vice being on the market 1t is not
ia be COMPOUNDED with the so-called
feed water regulators. being con-
structed on entirely different prinCi-
pies from any OF those devices. It
is more durable and more reliable,
md while it Possesses some of the
chief advantages claimed for them. il
AVOIDS their denclenCleS.
1t is designed for US on all build
| inEs heated by low pressure steam.
and is especially valuable for use III
public libraries and other public
/ buildings where valuable books and
I records are kept, as we'll as in otfge
and banking buildings, business
| blocks, apartment houses and private
residences.
This device consists OF an uprigh
cylinder connected with both tht
water and steam sections of the boil
er. Inside this cylinder is a simply
constructed steam metal valve hayins
erect connection with the FEED OF
supply pipe. The valve and stem are
cor Structed of single piece tc
which is attached vertically poised
Loaf of pure copper. The valve is
first actuated by the float. which. be-
coming slightly buoyant when the wa
ter reaches the proper level. raises
the valve TO a point where it is in
stantly closed by the water pressure.
in which position il remains until re-
leased by the closing of the feed valve
by the operator.
1t is easily operated. requiring no
more skill than the ordinary method
of feeding the boiler.
II may be readily applied to eny
heating boiler. old or new, being con-
nected in substantially the same
manner as the water column.
Its working parts are easy of ac-
cess and its mechanism may be en-
tirely oyerhauled without disconnect-
ing the supply pipe or interfering
with the operation OF the boiler.
They have already installed
three of these cut-offs in the county
building, two in the municipal build
ing and the public library and the
First National bank are to have one
each Several have also been engag-
ed for buildings in Massachusetts.
