dark days, from different causes. Not
one of these conditions prevailed at
that time. There was no cloudiness,

The sun came up in clear sky. A
little later it began to grow dark, no
clouds, no smoke, Il think smoke as
dense as to cause, total darkness could
have been seen, and smelled, as welD.
There was none. There was no fog or
dampness. There was no dust, or
lava, for at that time there was no
volcanic eruption, or earthquake. No
history records any. There was no
eclipse
1t grew dark as at night in short
days. Fowls went back to roost, and
cattle that were out came up as at
night.

TWO REPLIES
To the Dark Day Problems OF Long
Ago

The following question asked In the
Lewiston Journals question column
by ]. P. Thompson of Skowhegan, has
been replied to with an interesting
story while Mrs. NJ. Clark of Howe's
Corner, Me-, has also written reply
which is of considerable interest but
an entirely different solution of the
nroblem Mr.. Thompson has sub
mitted the letters to us for publication
together with the other material.
oues.-I see in the Farmers AL
manac the dark day was May ~, l7SO.
Can YOU answer in the magazine what
kind of a day it was? II there was
any record kept of it? When | was
a small boy | recollect hearing the
old people tell that the sun rose clear
and went out of sight in clear blue
sky and was not seen again for the
day and it was clear blue sky all day.
If so. what was the cause of such an
uncommon thing? | am an old SOL
der, from 81 to IS. J. P. Thompson.
Skowhegan.
Ans.-While in New England the
term dark day is specifically ap-
piled to May 10. 1880 (also called
Black Friday. there have been other
dark days" in other parts of the
world and some in other parts of the
United States-especially October 81
1716. and October 10, 1862.
1t seems to be agreed that the causes
of the dark day of 1880 were a COM
bination of ordinary cloudiness with
smoke from forest fires. In August
and September, 1881. there was a sue
cession of days when it was so dark
at midday that artificial light had to
be used at midday. This was known
to have come from forest fires a7d
heavy natural cloudiness. The Black
Friday of May 10, 1880, was attributed
at the time by the superstitions to
supernatural causes. Volcanic dust
sometimes brings on absolute dark
ness. The recent eruption of Mount
Katmai in the Alaskan peninsula
brought on darkness to intense at
Kodiak and over areas of the ocean
that the light of lantern held at
arms length could not be seen. This
darkness lasted for sixty hours in
some places. The steamer Dora, as
will be seen by the Geographic Maya
zine, was overtaken by this blackness
coming on from afar, its approach
plainly marked. The steamer was in
absolute Stygian blackness fer
hours, ashes falling on her deck until
they stood from to ~ inches in
depth On the dark day, May 10
1880, the light of the sun seemed
wholly obscured and lights were
needed at noon time. There was no
sudden plotting out of the sun, but
light gradually grew dim as though
the sun were obscured by cloudiness.

.eE ~
When the farmers of a com.
munity get together in some CO.
operative plan and plant a sufi-
Gent acreage to induce outside
buyers to come in, then planting
onions, potatoes, tomatoes and
other crops of like nature will
prove successful. As long as
small patches of truck are
planted by individuals who de-
pend on the local market, just
that long will these ventures
prove failures except in rare in
stances. For some unaccount-
able reason local merchants and
jobbers think the produce raised
at some distant point and shipped
in is of a better grade than the
home product. Actually they
will not give the farmer in the
adjacent country as much for his
corn and oats as they will pay for
probably an inferior grade that
comes from some Western States.
This is the history of practically
every Southern community

VISITS HIS MOTHER

Hon. III. Garland Dupre, Repre-

on a visit to his mother, Mrs.

very much to reproduce it, but

AS a specimen Of the manner IN
which he handled the subject,
we produce from the Congress
sional record, the concluding por-
ton of his address, which reads
at follows:

some it needs no duty to flourish;
according to others it is hot

as its production there is concern

in Maine or coffee in New Jer-

that has passed beyond the stage
of experiment. Its possibilities
are not problematical and its de-
velopment is not speculative. It
has the sanction of Holy Writ,
