Growing Tobacco in Maine.

From Maine Rural Life.
Unknown, perhaps, to a large part OF
Names population. a new possibility in
Maine agriculture has been developed
within the last few years, through one
man, Maitland B. Smith, who. on his
wonderful Pearl Brook farm, a short
distance outside Of the city Of Belfast.
produced the past season more tobacco
to the acre than did any of the tobacco
raisers in Connecticut, the tobacco state
of New England.
Maine is proud of her corn and her
potatoes, but at the rate that the to-
bacco raising industry has grown within
the past two or three years. the Pine
Tree state may soon have another prod
uct Of which she may well be proud.
Far from the warm heat Of southern suns
and the fertile valley Of the Connecticut.
fifteen acres of tobacco were raised in
the heart of Waldo county in 1918. the
soil produced one ton Of tobacco to the
acre, or more than 200 pounds more to
the average acre than Connecticut.

with sixteen sailors aboard. Three Of
the bodies have been recovered, 1t is
said. The other eleven men were picked
up by passing tug which quickly
went to their rescue.
Owing to the fact that the Wyoming
is anchored far In the roads and the
rough seas in the roadstead make 1t
almost impossible for small boats to
navigate. reports concerning the &C.
ctdent are meager.
When the craft got two miles off
Old Point and q half mile from the
Wyoming she struck unusually heavy
seas and began to take in water. She
was carrying a heavy load. including
steel wheelbarrows, and soon founder
ed after getting into the trough OF the
sea and becoming unmanageable.
All sixteen Of the mon were thrown into
the water and they SWAN around, but the
battle against the waves was a fierce one.
some OF the sailors became exhausted,
with the result that when the tug reached
them but eleven were alive, II Is re-
ported.
The bodies Of three Of the five who are
reported drowned subsequently were re-
coverd by boats from the flagship Wyo-
ming, one Of the bodies being found near
ly three miles away, sailors say.
The other two bodies have not yet been
recovered.

ROME, January 9.-Premier Venizelos
of Greece was convinced, after his con-
ference today with the Marquis di San
Giuliano. Italian minister Of foreign af-
fairs, that perfect agreement on the
question of the southern frontier of AL
bania existed between Italy and Austria,
and was supported unreservedly by Ger
many. According to this agreement, the
frontier lines are to be drawn as ar
ranged by the international conference in
London. Some of the details have not

AS regards the Aegean Islands, Italy,
Austria and Germany accept substan-
TALLY the proposal made by Sir Edward
Grey. Greece is to have the islands of
Chios and Mitylene. while the islands &C.
cupied by Italy are to be the subject of
direct negotiations between CONSTANT

It is probable that q postponement of
the evacuation Of southern Albania by

IN COURSE OF DAYS WORK.
Crane Boat Lavalley First to Pass
Through Panama Canal.

NEW YORK. January 9.-The passage
Of the crane boat Lavalley. which made
the first complete trip through the
Panama canal, was unintentional accord
ing to dispatches from Panama today.
The Lavalley, the dispatch stated. had
been up and down through Gatun locks
since November I, and had recently been
at work in the vicinity Of Paradise. In
course of dredging operations she passed
from that place to Mirafores. When
an effort was made to turn her around
the chamber was found to be too narrow
and she was allowed to go to the Pacific
entrance to reverse. The entire trip
was made in the course Of days
work.
Col. Goethals the dispatch added. does
not consider this a first passage through
the canal. He said he could not yet fix
a date for the first steamer to make
the passage.

SAN FRANCISCO FAIR
IS TOPIC IN ENGLAND
Government to Explain Non-Par.
ticipation During Debate in
House Of Commons.

LONDON, January 9.-The question of
English participation in the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition at San Francisco is to be
raised in the house of commons during
the debate on the address in reply to the
speech from the throne, with which each
parliamentary session is started
Sir Edward Grey, who, as head of the
Foreign office. must take the responsible
fty for the decision of the government
not to participate in the exhibition, has
SO far maintained silence on the subject,
and the debate will give him an opportu-
nifty to explain and defend his course.
The foreign secretary. 1t is stated, will
dispose for once and all the reports that
an entangling arrangement with Germany
entered into the matter
ofhcial Explanation.
The Official explanation of the refusal
Of the government to take part is that It
was due to belief that there would be a
great paucity Of British exhibitors. The
government took into serious considera-
ton the recommendation of an influen-
tfal committee of prominent British
manufacturers that an appropriation
should be made. but 1t is understood the
permanent officials Of the board Of trade
reported that the committee was not
representative of the firms which should
participate in order to make the exhibit
one that would do Justice to British in
dustry.'
NEW YORK, January 9-word reach
ed here today that the council Of m MIS-
ters Of the Turkish government has voted
an appropriation for q Turkish exhibit at
the coming Panama-Pacific exposition at
San Francisco.
: AS soon as official notification of the
action Is received Vahan Cardashian, at
torney for the Turkish consul general
here. who has been appointed executive
director Of the exhibit, and Djelal Bey,
high commissioner, who recently arrived
In New York. will go to San Francisco.
The council fixed no definite sum to be
expended. The amount will depend upon
the report made by the government rep
resentatives.

COTTON PRICES ADVANCE
Sharp Upward Trend Follows Pub
LEGATION Of Census Gin
ming Report.

NEW YORK. January "a sharp ad-
vance in the cotton market followed
the publication of the census ginning
report. The March contracts sold up
to 12.4s, or SITS per bale above the
closing price of yesterday, and APP
proximately half a cent above the re-
cent low level. The official report. In
dicating 13.sss.ooo bales ginned to
January 1, showed a big falling on in
ginning operations. as compared with
the first half Of December. This led
to a considerable revision of crop esti-
mates, which had recently been In
creased to more than 14,5O0,00o bales
by some authorities. \ "a.
Shorts were active buyers on the adj
vance, and there was said to be
broadening demand from both trade
and speculative sources.
The advance was accompanied by re-
ports that the revisal Of smaller crop
ideas had strengthened the price views
of spot holders in the south.

JUPITER's DUST MOON.
Observed for More Than 200 Years,
It Remains Unsolved Problem.

From the London Post.
Jupiter's first moon, unlike its last, the
discovery OF which was one Of the TWEEN
tieth century triumphs of Greenwich OBJ
servatory, has been observed for more
than two hundred years, but still presents
an unsolved problem. 1t is forty years
since Burton called attention to the sin
gular form Of this satellite, which seemed
to him to have an elliptical disk. Other
astronomers have repeated his observa-
tons since. and while agreeing in the
general appearance Of the disk Of 10, have
agreed that its form Is variable and varies
with some regularity, though the period
cannot be quite made out Ten years ago
Prof. Pickering, while working with Low
ell and afterWard at Harvard with the
Draper telescope, calculated a period Of
change In los appearance of about twelve
hours. This has been, roughly, confirmed
by other astronomers since. At certain
times the disk Of the satellite appears
quite circular. Pickering suggested as an
inference from the extreme lightness Of
the satellite, which is hardly heavier than
water. that perhaps it was constituted of
a swarm of particles similar to those Of
the rings OF Saturn. This world of dust is
about the same size as our moon, and is
situated at about the same mean distance
from Jupiter. But Jupiter having mass
more than three hundred times that of
the earth exercises on this fantastic moon
a stupendous attraction, and one SO pow
erful that 10 is forced to circle round its
parent In forty-tWo hours 1t is conceiv-
able that the enormous tidal attractions
thus continually operating are capable of
altering the satellites shape as it re-
wolves, especially If, as Pickering conjec-
tures 1t is no other than an agglomera-
ton of light particles. Another plausible
explanation of los variations has lately
been offered by M. ]. Comas-Sola of the
Barcelona Observatory. This observer
has noted that the shape Of the disk of
10. now circular, now eilipucal, varies
with Its position in its orbit; its shadow
thrown on Jupiter is also heightened. and
is in itself sufficient to distinguish 10
from the other satellites. NJ. Comas-
Sola's explanation of these phenomena is
that the satellite during it's primitive,
semi-fluid state became altered by the IT,
dial pulls, first into a dumb-bell shape Gas
may have happened to the earth and the
noon. and was then split into two globes
partially Joined. or even into two sepa-
rate globes which touch one another. and
revolve about a common center of grav-
ity. This is formation which is at
tributed to a large number of double
stars Of which the components are ex-
tremely close together.

Of the men, who have been on the 18TH

there ended when the War Department
recently sent regular troops to perma-

the action did not result from any con-
