Something about NOrtlpOrt

Fifty years ago the town of North
port which adjoins Belfast, had pop
ulation of nearly loo and estates
valued at $1S8, $50. it was sparsely
settled by farming population, and
on its shore front near the Belfast
line furnished a grove where the
Methodist denomination held an an
nual camp meeting every August. This
was an event that attracted people
from far and near Single and double
seated carriages, hayfacks, and all
sorts of vehicles were utilized as
means of transportation, and the resi-
dents along Northport Avenue. as ii
is now called, looked forward to that
period of dust with dismay. AS years
rolled by the Camp Ground became
something of a summer resort, hand
some cottages were erected steam
ers began making landings, hotel
was built and of course the town be-
gan to boom. But not in growth of
permanent population. for today
Northport has but fIife more than
500 inhabitants, while its real estate
valuation has increased to rising
S350,0 900. The interesting fact to re-
member is that the great estate on
the hill. will exceed by many thou
sands the value of the whole town
fifty years ago

4 Big Lobster

Big Lobster
A large male lobstet was captured
by Capt. Marshall Stinson in tide
pool on st. Andrews island recently
and has been mounted for the muse
um of the Biological Station. Its liv-
ing weight is not known as it was
more or less dried out before 1t was
possible to weigh it. From its size
it must have weighed at least q
pounds. The length OF the body is 20
ga inches and the total length to the
tips of the claws, "a inches. 1t is
one of the largest Holsters on record,
and is slightly larger than speci-
men captured at Lubec in 1892, and
said to be preserved on Campobello
island. A specimen 23S-4 inches long
and weighing "a pounds is known. A
larger lobster than this has not been
authoritatively reported. These large
Holsters are naturally of an uncer-
tain age but it has been estimated
that they are in the neighborhood OF
the half century mark.

TURNED INTO STONE.
Petrified Objects Are Common In Re-
gions Where Limestone Prevails.

Petrified objects are found in a great
many sections of the world. most Of
them in sections where limestone is
prevalent.
Petrified wood is quite common. Bits
of wood, pieces of bark and small
twigS are the more common. but in
some places whole logs are found, and
these are so we'll petrified as to show
the bark as perfect as when the tree
was growing. Different kinds of wood
petrify. 1t depends more on the
amount of lime than on the quality of
timber.
In Arizona whole trees are petrified.
and, in fact, whole forests have been
turned into stone and some wonderful
specimens are to be found there. The
petrifed trees are sometimes cut up
and converted into various articles of
value.
Fortified moss is found in many
places. It is very beautiful. Petrifed
grasses, leaves of trees and petrif1ed
nuts and fruits have been discovered
in some places. Fortified reptiles ard
small animals have also been found.
Cobs from which the grains Of corn
have been removed make rather curl
Gus petrificatiOns. One of the most Gu
riOus found is that Of a piece of honey
comb turned into solid stone, but
showing every honey perfectly
shaped and equally distributed just as
the honey bees had built it. If tbs
comb had contained honey the water
had dissolved that, for the cells wer,
empty.
Petrified human remains are not uH
common. In some of the cemeteries in
sections where limestone prevails in
abundance bodies have been lifted to
move them to other cemeteries, and
they were found to be turned to stone.

FOR CANNING SMALL FRUIT.

A lady reader of these notes gives
the writer the following recipe for
canning strawberries, raspberries and
other small fruits and has given him
q can of fine looking strawberries as
proof that the method she follows lie
q success: She first sterilizes her cans
and covers with boiling water, then
fills them with the uncooked berries,
setting the cans in dishpan contain
ing a quantity of warm water. Prior
to this she has prepared her strip,
which is boiling hot. As soon as the
water in the pan is brought to a boil
the cans containing the berries are re-
moved to a platter and the strip il
then poured over them. AS the ber-
ries shrink some. reducing the volume
In the cans, enough strip is added so
that the cans run over. The covers
are then screwed on, and the job is
done. The chief advantage Of this
method seems to be that the berries re-
tain their shape much better than
where they are cooked for some time.
