The present Democratic administra-

Same Shoe; Another Foot.

Last year the oft-footed, ferret
eyed and ever virtuous Democratic
Divlning rod Delegation discovered
that a former State officer had at one
time used, temporarily" some of the
States funds to simplify private
transactions. The former official was
promptly hailed before legal tribunal
and suffered the penalty of the law
for his misinterpretation of his privi
leges under the law. 1t was no ex-
cuse for him that he was financially
competent; that the State also held
his bond for $4,000, and that he
placed perfectly good security, draw
ing interest for the State, in place of
the funds he had used. temporarily"
Democracy was in high feather over
this political gold mine. 1t reared on
it's hind legs, paved the air and
brayed exultantly. Had any one ever
heard of such depravity? All the
charges which Democracy had con-
ceived in half a century of recurrent
defeat and disappointment, had been
proved by the incident, The party
organs hee-hawed and the Royal
Presence swelled. over and again it
has been served, each time evolling
renewed enthusiasm-a public official
had diverted State funds from pre-
scribed channels.
Within a few days the people OF
Maine have been held aghast by re-
peated revelations of what might be
mildly termed "unbusinessliSe" meth
dds carried on between those high
up, at the State House, and Their
personally conducted printing plant

Climate and the Color of Cities.

1t is estimated by metcorolgists that
the heat irradiated constantly in the at
mosphere by the combustion of carbon
modifies little by little the climate of
cities and surrounding districts. 1t is
said that 100000 tons of carbon is the
average yearly weight burned in cities
the size of London aud New York. 1t is
also pointed out that the color of cities
is changed according to the amount of
carbon burned. Confirmation of these
facts is offered in historical description
of cities. Paris being referred to by one
historian of ancient times as a "city of
red" while to this day certain Italian
cities are described as ''violet." Meteor
ologists propbesy that when our west Is
as thiclxly settled as central Europe our
clear sweep of blue sky will be very ma
terially modifed.-Harper's Weekly. 4

Under all the circumstances we
might not expect the secretary OF

but in truth the public expected state
Auditor stevens to issue prompt and
effective mandate. And here is wha,
he said. in reply to Kennebee Journal
inquiry;
I don't know as the Governor
and Council know anything about
the error It is matter of
bookkeeping in the auditors de-
partment. The state already
owes the Sentinel for other print

So we are blandly informed that the
States money. handed a private party
through earelessness in June, is to
earn no more interest for the Stale
until the September ballots bin is
paid.
Having thus eliminated the Cover
nor and Council. the secretary cf
State, the attorney general and the

general public that the Legislative

AMERICAN GEMS
1911 Product of United States Mines
Valued at $343, 692.

According to a report received in Maid

mines of the United States produced
precious stones and gem minerals valued
at s343,692 during 1911. In 1910 the total
reached 1926, 797 and in 1909 it was S5si $50. :
The report was complied for the United
states Geological Survey by Douglass y.
Sterrett, and has been received in adj
vance OF the publication on the Mineral

been obtained, and the report says that
the quality of the average run of the
emcralds probably equals that>of South
American emeralds. More than 20oO
earats of rough stones have been OBJ
tanned from which ID is estimated that
about 700 carats of cut gems VIII be
produced
Regarding theaArkansas diamond re-
gion of Pike County, the report states
that the Arkansas Diamond Company
has not operated its mine during 1911,
! but that a small amount of washing was
done, resulting in the recovery of 1855
stones weighing 1875 carats.
A large production of sapphires is re-
ported from Montana during the past
year. The output came from the Yogo
/ blue sapphire mines in Fergus County,
Rock Creek in Granite County, Dry cot
tonwood Creek in Deerlodge County
and the Missouri River ''placers'' east
of Helena. The value of the output of
sapphires in the United States during
