A Failing weather Saw.

When the spring hangs back, with ice
on the red maple blossoms, with frosts
on the uncovered strawberry beds, with
lilacs hardly ready for Memorial day,
weather prophets on all sides remark:
'No matter how late now, the season al
ways evens up by the Fourth of July"
And they speak with show of truth.
For no Fourth of July ever yet dawned
on trees not fully in leaf and on grape
vines not somewhere near their days OF
fragrance.
Yet in fact the old saying is but half
true. OF course. the season has FAR
Their forward and backward play on the
upgrade OF the year than on the crest
from mid-Junc 10 mid-September;
nevertheless, late and early summers,
late and early falls, are as possible IN
our climate as late and early springs.
To-day our season. rated by the ripeulng
OF pears and potatoes, is tagging from
one to two weeks behind the average. The
cranberry growers on the Cape report
their hogs a full week on the wrong
side Of the calendar; the WATERFOWL
and Belmont truck farmers account their
fruit and vegetables sen days late; or
binary gardeners need not he told that
their long watched melons and tomatoes
are from ten DAYS to a fortnight behind

green things on July cannot assure us
Of timely ripenings eight weeks iater.-

GRAPHITE IMPORTS CUT OFF.
Stimulation of Mining of Fibrous Va
riety in United States Will Result.

Although the value of the graphite
imported into the United States IN 1918
was almost twice the domestic produc-
ton. the cutting off of the foreign sup
Div should seriously affect only the
crilcible industry There is an ample
supply of graphite in this country suited
for stove polish, foundry fac1ngs, and
paint pigments, and large deposits OF
amorphous graphite in northern Mexico
now comparatively peaceful, are con-
troIled by American firms and can pc
depended upon for supplies OF graphlte
for pencils, lubricating material, ana
MANY other uses. Moreover, graphite -
now being manufactured in the electric
furnaces at Niagara Falls in amounts
far in excess of the domestic production
from natural sources, and this graphite
is well adapted for most OF the uses 10
which graphite is applied.
The graphite for which we depend
mainly on foreign sources is that used
in the manufacture of crucibles and oth-
or refractory products, but as these uses
probablv consume over half OF the
graphite used in this country, such de-
pendence is a matter of no small I'M
portance. Moreover, the manufacture
Of crucibIe steel requires graphite cru
cibles. The graphite used in crueible
making has been brought largely from
the British island of Ceylon, although
within the last few years some has been
brought from the French island OF MAZDA
rascar. This graphite IS flaky or throus
and for this reason is eminently adapt
cd to crucible making. For this use IL
has never met with serious competition
from domestic graphite. The earthly
amorphous graphite mined in this coun-
try and the graphite manufactured az
Niagara Falls are not adapted TO TINS
use. and as a rule the expense OF con
centrating domestic fake graphite has
been prohibitive. Nevertheless it is &c
the domestic supplies of fake graphite
that this country must look in the event
az foreign supplies being cut OIL. Prac'
tieallv inexhaustible supplies of this ma
terial are known to occur in New YORK
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Caro-
lima. Alabama, Texas and some other
states and are fully described in the re-
ports of the United States Geological
survey. Similar deposits arc abundant
in Canada. The graphite in these de-
posits occurs as small flakes IN rocks
composed mainly of quartz, feldspar and
mica, the graphite constituting . to IL
per cent by weight.
Several plants are now engaged IN
working such deposits, and many others

MARKED TRIBUTE TO DR.. WRIGHT.
Funeral of the Well-Known Montpelier
Clergyman Held Yesterday.

The funeral of the late Rev. DIR. b.
Edward Wright, for nearly halt a cen
turv clergyman of the Unitarian de-
nomination, was held yesterday after
,,oor from the Church of the Messiah IN
wontnelier. and the auditorium was
filled with friends, testitying 10 the rove
and esteem in which DR.. Wright was
held. The service was in charge OF rev.
Albert H. Spence, the present pastor OF
the church where DIR. Wright labored so
long. and he delivered splendid euiogy
OF the deceased.
The body was taken to Boston lot
cremation and on Thursday the ashes
will be buried with private exercises at
Green Mount cemetery.
Among those who attended the service
were large number of clergymen OF tine
county. Just prior to the funeral the
Ministers Monday club adopted the foi-
lowing resolutions:
"Wbereas our beloved friend and
brother. the Rev. j. Edward Wright
n d. has closed his earthly ministry
and been called to his eternal reward;
@We the members of the Ministers
! Monday club do express our high APP
preciation of his long and faithful MN
| istry. especially as the minister OF the
Church of the Messiah of the city OF

1--WE are profoundly impressed by his
unique and godly influence and the serv-
ices he rendered his home city.
1--WE sympathize with and especially,
commend the members of the bereaved
family to the comforts of divine grace:
1--WE pray that the memory OF his SIN
cere and righteous life may be an abld-
ing inspiration to the church and com
munity.

now idle could be put on producing
basis in a short time and at little ex-
pense. Although the product might not
be equal to the Ceylon graphite in all
respects for crucible making, there is no
question that it would be adequate, for
similar graphite has for years been sue
cessfully used in Germany.
Another American resource is the
graphite deposit near Dillon, Mont. The
graphite there is very similar to that
from Ceylon and should be adaptable
for crucible making. Although the de-
post does not compare in size with the
Ceylon deposits, it might render material
aid in case of shortage.
