The town reports just given out will
probably cause taxpayers to sit up and
take notice. The outstanding liabilities
of the town, outside OF the small remain
ing railroad debt, is shown to be $24,-
653.3S and the interest burden is practi.
cally as large as in 1898, when the town
had just bonded $4,000. This result
seems to have come about through the
custom, extending over many years, of
paying out $l.10 on several of the de-
partments where only Sl.00 had been
raised by taxation. The auditors recon-
mend tax of $3.50 for the actual operat-
ing expenses of the town for the coming
year. This with the large advance in ap-
praisals will surely be some tax.

The DRAGON Ely.

1t is hard to realize that the brilliant
dragon fly. which darts through the air
at such terrific speed. was once an
ugly, mud colored, slow moving in
habitant of some pool or lake. These
mud dragons, or dragon fly nymphs,
conceal themselves in the mud at the
bottom of the pond where they are
born and cover up their faces with in.
nocent looking claws, which are in re-
ality powerful gripping organs with
spines on the inside. If you put mud
dragon into your aquarium and watch
it you will see those claws open and
stretch forward. grip their victim and
convey it to the mouth that lies con-
cealed behind them. Youths Com

"The Bridge" Born of Sorrow.

"My poem entitled The Bridge"
said Longfellow, "was written in sor-
row, which made me feel for the lone
illness Of others. I was a widower at
the time, and / used sometimes to go
over the bridge to Boston evenings to
meet friends and return near midnight
by the same way. The way was ST.
lent, save here and there a belated
footstep. The sea rose or fell among
the wooden piers, and there was a
great furnace on the Brighton hills
whose red light was reflected by the
waves. 1t was on such a late. solitary
walk that the spirit of the poem came
upon me. The bridge has been great

same"

Dammar resin, has been extracted

sent to the University Of Washington
chemistry department from the South

II was there that the discovery OF
how to extract resin from wood by
using ammonia as a solvent was dis
covered. Ammonia. however. would
not dissolve the resin IN cactus, so
Prof. II. X. Benson started a search
for another solvent and found that
denatured alcohol was the best.
