Proprietor Charles Walsh Of the Bath
Steam Dye House at Bath, recently
fond in the Bibber homestead which he
purchased this spring two old papers,
one the Boston News Letter of date 1l79
and the other of an earlier date which
had an article in it regarding the Revo-
lutionary War. The finding of these old
papers in his new home in this city by
Mr. Walsh recalls a singular coincidence
which happened while he was in business
In Watervile A customer had come in
with a package rolled up in news
paper which he noticed was an old one,
with a description in its Civil War re-
ports of the taking prisoner by the rebels
of Perham Head, a Waterville clothier,
formerly postmaster of Waterville.
About that time along came Mr.. Head
and Mr.. Walsh said Hello, was just
reading how you were taken prisoner. "
Mr. Head was surprised, not thinking
of his war time experience and was still
more surprised when Mr.. Walsh, pro-
ducng the old newspaper, showed Mr..
Head the article.

Frankiin's Request Outdone.


Benjamin Franklin's famous bequest
left at interest and growing to great
sum is likely to be outdone by the gift
made to the little city Of Weida in
Sake Weimar by Mayor Seiferth, who
has given $50 to be put at compound
interest for $40 years or until 2254 A
d. In May of that year the city is to
get 10 per cent. of the accumulation
the rest to be similarly compouned for
century, when the whole goes to the
city. Estimates as to the total in
1884 vary from $t,250,000 to $4,000, 900
and either would be a handsome return
on an investment of $50 if ii was not
for the waiting. If Herr Seiferth hao
made the period of a millennium the
city of Weida might have had most OF
the money in sight.

F. B. Nichols of Bath recently took
a stroll at Popham beach and picked up
in a short time half a peck of coal of
the kind that is continually being washed
ashore and there had been no storm to
wash it up for some time. The coal lies
there right along for anybody to pick up
as a curiosity, or to burn if they wish.
1t is a free burning coal. The incident
was an object lesson to Mr.. Nichols, who
is firmly of the opinion that a bed of
coal lies off the beach and possibly ex-
tends to the land.

Ordered deported from Vera Cruz for

No investigation is necessary. Com

Our marines, dislodging snipers who

doubt killed some on the run without
thinking of ley de fuga," even if they
ever heard OF it.

Good Start This Year by the N. p. D

(Spokane Spokesman ReVfeW.1
The strawberry of the northwest is an
ideal fruit. but last year it was not
marketed in the east. This year the
North Pacific Distributors had forward
ed 1S9 cars of Strawberries to the east
before May l. according to returns to the
central agency, and the growers had re-
ceived an average net price of sl363 a car.
These facts would of themselves suffice
to justify the founding of the distibu-
tors association. and they also demon
strate how appreciative is the east and
how huge a market for our berries
awaits them even as far away as Du-
luth.
The showing in the case of cherries.
though not novel, is equally gratifying
and justifeatory Nineteen cars of these
went to localities as far east as Massa-
chusetts For the cherries, as also for
the Strawberries, the average net price
a carload was the highest ever obtained
for northwestern fruit. Together. the
strawberries and the cherries, with
which is included a car of potatoes. had
at the end of April brought s226.s42 net
to the North Pacific Distributors.
These results constitute a good start on
the sales for this season. The apples,
apricots. peaches and pears later should
raise the returns to enormous figures.

TUNNEL AOHtUtNTS HAVE
NOT MODIFIED VIEWS

LONDON, Sept. "a. - The clash
of war among the nations of Europe
has not modified the views of the
supporters of the channel tunnel
scheme, whose desire to build a tun-
mel from Denver to Calais has been
blocked for years by the military au-
thorities on the ground that IL
would destroy England's insularity.
Several peers and members Of
parliament who have for long shown
an interest in the scheme declare
that instead of proving of assistance
to the enemy, a channel tunnel would
have been Of supreme assistance In
transporting the British army.
They declare they will continue
the advocacy of the tunnel at the end
Of the raj The precautions sug-
gested to prevent the tunnel being
made use of for an invasion of Eng
land include the flooding of a dip
in the tunnel, commanding exists
with guns that could not be silenced
from the sea, and an electric button
that might touch of an explosion to
destroy a part of the tunnel If nee

NATURAL MINERAL WAX
IS FOUND IN l.. s

One of the products of petroleum
that has been exported by the United
States to a value between $4,000. 900
and 100000 OO during the last
three years is paraffin wax. In
spite of these large exports, natural
mineral wax (ozokerite) is import
ed. for the reason that its melting
point is very high, and although the
paraffin wax from petroleum car be
produced with this high melting
point, the process is difficult and
costly. Ozokerite occurs in consid-
cradle quantity in Utah in the re-
gion of Soldiers Summit, and has
been produced there, but the cost of
extracting it from Iow-grade ma
terial. together with the cost of
transportation to the market. which
is chiefly in the eastern states, has
made it possible for the foreign ma
terial. which comes from Galicia. to
compete with 1t successfully. The
domestic ozokerite should now re-
duce the foreign material. - Bulle-

MITRATES MAY Be
PRODUCED N U. S.

The European situation has called
attention sharply to the depend
ence of this country upon Germany
for its potash supply, some twelve or
more million dollars worth Of which
is used annually in the United States
for fertilizer. Another necessary
mineral fertilizer for which the
United States is dependent upon a
foreign country Is sodium nitrate.
over twenty-one million dollars
worth of which was imported from
Chile last year..
Deposits of sodium and potassium
nitrate are known in Utah, Nevada,
California, Oregon, Montana and
New Mexico and have been described
in publication of the geological
survey and bureau of soils, but thus
far no material of this kind has
been found in sufficient quantity to
promise commercial value. The lat
est report that has come to the geo.
logical survey relates to a deposit
in Arizona.
One important domestic source of
combined nitrogen is the gas works
and %by-product coke ovens, which in
1912 reported a recovery Of ammo
niacal liquor, ammonia and ammo
mum sulphate valued at $~9.519,26S.
This output of by-product ammonium
sulphate increased in ten years from
17,643,507 pounds to 99,070,777
pounds, and as 1t Is linked with the
great coking industry further in
creases can be expected.
Another domestic supply of nitro
gen compounds lies in the f1ation of
atmospheric nitrogen by electricity.
Cheap hydroelectric development is
necessary to establish this industry,
which would make large agricul-
tural and industrial interests free
from the uncertainties of the for
eign supply. 1t is hoped that the
water power legislation nov before
the United States senate may pro-
mote hydroelectric development in
large units and thus utilize some of
the great water powers in the west
in obtaining nitrogen from the.
