Spears Sawmill Burned with

GAIN OF 26 PUPILS

e.
The saw min at Lakewood owned by
Horace Spear, caught fire about P.
M, Wednesday and was destroyed. 1t
had been in operation through the day
and was shut down at the usual hour.
1t is not possible to account for the
origin of the fire. This mill was built
three years ago: was equipped with
the usual machinery for long and short
lumber and would cost to replace about
$4,000. A small insurance was carried
probably $1,000. This is the fourth mill
that MIR. Spear has lost by fire, two of
which Were al Deadwater and the
third at Lakewood, not far from the
location Of the one burned Wednesday
night. Mr.. Spear owns 4 o. 5 hundred
acres Of cumberland in the Wesserrun-
sett Lake valley and the loss Of this
mill seriously interferes with his lum-
berins operations. He will probably re-
build al once.

Homemade Barometer.

To make a cheap but effective ba- rometer take eight grams of pulver ized camphor, four grams of pulver- ized nitrate of potassium, two grams of puiverfzed nitrate of ammonia, and dissolve them all in sixty grams of alcohol. Pour the whole lotion in a long and slender bottle, the top of which should be closed with a piece of pigs bladder - which your family butcher will give you gratis-contain- ing a pin hole to admit air. When rain is about to visit you the solid par ticles of your liquid barometer will tend gradually to mount, little star crystals forming in the liquid, which otherwise would remain clear. Should high winds be approaching your baron- eter will become thick, as if ferment- ing, in addition to which a solid film of particles will form on the surface. Fair weather is indicated by the liquid remaining clear. with the solid part1- cles settling into a firm sediment London Answers.

A Strange Punishment.

Professor Petrie, the eminent Egyp- tologist,S while exploring about thirty five miles from Cairo, discovered a tomb of the twelfth dynasty that thieves had broken into thousands of years ago. A tragedy attended the robbery, as Professor Petrie also dis covered. The Sunday School Times calls it "a tragedy of provideRttaI jus kce.''
 .''It appears says Professor Petrie, 'tthat the plunderers removed only few bricks, so that a man could crawl Into the tomb, One of the men entered, opened the coffin, lifted the mummy out and laid it across the coffin, so that he could easily unwind the bandages. He first found a collar of beads, which he passed out into the shaft, where we found it. Then he came to the jewel Ia beautiful work of gold and cOlored gemsl, and took it from the body. Be fore he could do anything more the roof apparently fell in and crushed him and the mummy The other rob bers, seeing the fate of their accom- plice, abandoned the tomb and filled in the shaft to hide their guilt"
 The explorers found the skeleton of the robber beside that of the mummy.
