months, while in the fall and early
winter the walls are dry and bare.
The State Geological society's ex.
PLANTATION Of the phenomenon is that
in the winter the temperature in rho
cave, the same as outside goes below
the freezing point. However, all moiS

in the ground and rocks by the frost
and no water finds It's way into the
cave. The walls of the cavern get
colder and colder, and retain the cold
When spring thaws release the water
it trickles into the cave across the
cold walls and then freezes. That con.

thought one of the stones so beautiful
he bought it for himself.
Montana sapphires after being cut
make brilliant jewels. The demand
for them has greatly increased since
the war. They command good prices
and If Dickinson's mine turns out as
rich as he describes he has q fortune
In sight.
1T Is easy to tell rough sapphires
when you find them" said Dickinson
They are white, covered with q thin
coating of q substance that looks like
lime. When you look through them
against sunlight you catch blue
flashes and something seems to move
inside Of them. You are apt to find
them on high land or in the bottom of
little coulees."

LIGHTNING DESTROYS
BILL NYE'S BIRTHPLACE
It Was One of the Famous Old
Landmarks Of Piscataquis
County, Maine.

When the old birthplace of the
American humorist, Bill Nye, was
burned few days ago at Shirley. Me-,
II blOtted out one of the ancient land
marks Of Piscataquis county. A late
electric shower did its destructive
work. Lightning struck the buildings,
which were owned by Mrs. Dorcas
Mitchell, and fire finished the task,
leaving only smoldering ruins.
1t was here that Bill Nye cracked
his first joke on his parents when, at
three years Of age, as he told the
and told them that Piscataquis county
was no place for them, leading them
forth to Wisconsin and the life Of
Western pioneers. Thereby Maine lost
considerable advertising such as would
have accrued TO the state had this
humorist remained in the Pine Tree
state. But he left his birthplace be-
hind him, and ii was this of which
the town was justly proud, until now
comes the end Of the ancient dwell
ants of Benjamin Nye, who founded
the family in the new land Of freedom
having come from England in 1887.
Perhaps the fate Of his birthplace
in this little Maine hamlet would not
be regretted by the humorist were he
alive. For he left directions that his
grave in the little cemetery of Arden
North Carolina, should be marked by
a simple stone. Now there is nothing
left Of the spot on which he was born
up here in Maine save the traditions
Of the family and few records in the
towns books.
