June, the Picnic Month.

The popularity of the month of June
as the best season of the year for the
holding Of picnics, is ever on the in
crease, and this fact has been clearly
demonstrated in this vicinity during the
said month Last week three of the
these delightful annual events were
conducted in this city the G A. r. and
w. r. c. on Tuesday, the success of
which was noted in last week s issue,
that of the Primitive Methodist Sunday
school on Wednesday and the Metho-
dist Episcopal Sunday school on Thurs
day. In the calendar Of the last two
institutions the annual picnics are inn
portant events and this year were feat
ured by all the elements necessary to
insure their complete success The
Primitiyes selected the Homesite prop
erty on the northern outskirts Of the
city and although weather conditions
were unfavorable in the morning, the
afternoon left nothing to be desired.
Music was furnished by the band. On
Thursday ideal weather favored the
Methodists for their outing at the fair
grounds and the entire day was given
over to the enjoyment of the occasion

AN ENGINEERS STORY
Why the Veteran Driver Stopped
Drinking After Saving Pres

fellow that vent into the cab of No.

Joe Egan. How old should you say
he was. now? Fifty-fye? Joe's sew
enty-two, come next July, friend, and
in spite OF his age, there isn't man
that can handle his engine better than
Joe, or that's more looked up to by
the men and better thought OF by the
company. And it must be nigh on
thirty years since what I'm going TO
tell you happened TO Joe.
Thirty years ago-that brings US
back to the early eighties, don't it?
The companies wasn't so particular
in those days as what they are now.
Nowadays, If a man wants drop be-
fore going on duty he's got to take
the bottle out Of his pocket when no
body amt watching him, and eat a
cough drop afterwards, or else, likely
as not. he'll be hunting q job next
morning. But in the times I'm speak
ing OF, the company didn care wheth-
er man drank or not, as long as he
looked sober, and spoke sober, and
brought his train in on time. And.
drunk or sober, Joe never made any
mistakes with his engine
Still there wasn't many nights
when he didn't come in to Tapham a
little soaked, and 1t got to the super
intendent's ears, The company didn't
want to get rid Of Joe, for he was a
pretty steady man, and although the
new Ideas about drinking had just be-
gun 10 come into use, still, everybody
made excuses for Joe You see, he'd
been through the fire and done what
II amt given to many men to have to
do.
Joe lived by the line, about half q
mile this side OF Tapham, in a little
brick house situated just where the
trestle across the Mohegan begins to
rise out of the swamp lands. He used
to take his engine, with eight cars
attached TO it, over 1t on the return
trip and run her into Tapham on the
stroke OF nine. Then he'd wall back
home till his turn of duty come
again. 1t was ticklish spot, because
the s:07 from Waynesboro had the
right of way = few minutes after the
Tapham local got past
"One night Joe was behind time. 1t
wasn't his fault, guess; anyway, just
as he approached the trestle he heard
the whistle of the S:07. You know

PROBING SECRET OF NATURE
Scientists So Far Have Seen Unable
to Ascertain How Gold Is Com
pacted Into Nugget

How do nuggets of gold originate =?
Sometimes a mass of the precious
metal worth a thousand dollars Sc
more is found BY what process
was 50 much gold compacted into a
lump? an attempt was made not
long ago to answer this question An
investigator in Australia cut and
sliced and polished gold nuggets with
the sole purpose OF finding out just
what is their structure. The first
thing he discoy cred was that there is
one curious point of resemblance be-
tween gold nuggets and neteorites.
Both, when polished and etched with
chlorine water, exhibit a crystalline
structure In the case of meteorites.
the lines thus exhibited on the etched
surface a9 called Widmannstattian
figures and their presence is said to
be one Of the most inyariable charac-
teristics of those metallic bodies that
fail from the sky to the earth.
But it is not meant to be implied
that gold nuggets have fallen from
the sky because they exhibit a crystal
line structure recalling that of meteor
ties. The resemblance is apparently
only superficial and the crystals Of
the nuggets differ in form from those
of the meteorites
Another curious fact is that when a
nugget is heated in a Bunsen fame ex.
plosions take place on its surface
Blsters are formed which continue
to swell until they burst with a sharp
report and bits Of gold are violently
scattered about II is evident that
the nuggets contain either gases or
some liquids or solids which are cas-
jly converted into the gaseous form.

explosions Harpers Weekly.

Something Must Be Done.

Owing to an increase in the price of
ready prints and everything that goes
to make up newspaper, many weekly
newspapers are increasing their sub
scription price and others are cutting
out the readyprint and printing only
the local page. The Winslow Register
has announced that it would cut out
the inside pages, and we notice that a
number of others have already done so.
With the government pressing on one
side and the trust on the other it will
be strange if some publishers do not
go broke.
