Dog and Robinson opposite re-
minding one of our own Willough-
by, but salt and tidal instead of
freshwater.
And the shore line beggars des-
cliption. Many of you are ia
miliar with the rocky Atlantic
shore, but who of us has seen
what we have seen this afternoon
within two miles of our camp.
Thunder Hole, a wide crevice Is
feet deep and over one hundred
feet long into which the sea waves
roll, hitting its sides and giving
forth the true sound of thunder
And just above Thunder Hole is
Stag cave, deep cavern into the
rocky cliffs filling and emptying
with the ceaseless waves. A mile
or so below are the Otter cliffs
which, | think, are the highest on
the Atlantic coast. They are
mighty high, anyway.
must not forget to mention
Asticon Hill with such a view on
its harbor dotted with yachts and
motor boats and its banks dotted
with summer homes. But nature
was not satisfied with all this. To
complete her work inland fresh
water ponds and lakes were need
ed and they, TOO are here. Jordan
pond and Bubble pond and others,
and finest of all Eagle lake about
five miles long and nearly a mile
wide. We are camped at its very
end, the Whitecap mountain
with but little vegetation at our
left and the Bubbles with their
tree-covered sides and bare sum
mits at its opposite end directly
in front of our camp. There is
always a cool breeze across the
lake and mosquitoes are absolutely
forbidden to fly over or light on
the reservation, but | must confess
there is just a little bit of tres
passing. But they are not bad
and better mere by far than at
most summer resorts this season.
We had good trip out, making
over 200 miles the first day, fill
ing our water can at Poland
Springs and eating lunch just be-
yond and made the other hundred
miles Tuesday forenoon, being all
located in time to eat our noon
lunch at our camp site.
The hospitality shown US here
has been the very best. The Sec
rotary came with US until we had
found a suitable spot, the Park
manager lets the boys have his
boat, and the man at the spring
gives US all the welcome he can.
Now | have not described the
park at all or its surroundings, nor
have | described any Of its feat
ures. ! have not tried to because
cannot do it. All | have done
is lust to mention a few of the
many attractions here. Where else
is there such I mixture and collec-
ton of sand and rocky shore: of
bare mountains and deep passes;
of harrow bride paths and foot
trails; of inland lakes and forests
in short, of such a variety of
seashore and mountains as right
here. And to make it still more
wonderful it is all contained in
space only about 10 miles across
in either direction. S will have a
few pictures but they will show
the scenry about as well as col
lection of door knobs would show
the appearance of Beacon street
in Boston. This is by far the best
Of our summer trips so far and
when I see you | will share with
YOU as best | can.
Sincerely Yours,

NOTE" Boiling point is common term in
the gasoline testing laboratory Most liquids
boil (vaRorize) at one uniform temperature. In
the case of water this temperature or boiling
point, is 2I20 F. However, every gasoline has
many boiling points-a whole series or range
of them in fact. It's this range Of boiling points
AND the proportion OF each group of them

WHEN THE SPIDER is "FLY''
How the Insect Spins His Web and
Prepares Trap for the
Victims.

Have you ever seen spider con-
structing his web? 1t is one Of the
most interesting and most beautiful
sights In nature, declares a writer in
London Tit-Bits.
Having found suitable place, he
begins first to make the "spokes." The
spokes are made of different kind of
material from the web proper-they
are not sticky.
Now begins the real business Of
making the trap itself. Starting at one
of the spokes, the spider gums down
thread and then moves in spiral
direction paying out the thread as he
goes. 1t is gummed firmly down to
each spoke and it Is provided with
thousands of tiny drops of gum In be-
tween the spokes.
This gum, secreted by special gland
in the spider, holds captive any fly
that touches one of the spiral strands
Round and round goes the spider
weaving the sticky net and spacing its
meshes so that the fly can pass be-
tween them.
AS soon as the trap is perfect the
spider takes up his position at its CEN
ter, lying each of his eight legs on
one of the spokes. In this way he is
able to feel at once the arrival of a
fly in any part of the net. If he cap.
lures an insect too large to be dealt
with summarily he weaves fine web
round 1t and does not come to close
quarters until 1t is so securely bound
that 1t cannot move limb.

First President Of New Republic
 to Be Chosen

Warsaw, Jan. l1.--Foland, politi, cally. is eagerly looking forward to the summer elections when the first president of the new republic will be chosen hy a national assembly com posed Of representatives of both chambers of the diet.
 Joseph Pilsudski, who was appoint ed chief sof state just after Poland was declared republic late in 1918 and has held office ever since under provisional constitution, is under stood among politicians to be one of the presidential candidates, Several other names have been mentioned, but the newspaper editorial writers appear reasonably confident that the chief contenders will be Pilsudski, Vincent Witos, former premier and the present leader of the peasant par ty in the Diet, and Wojciech Tram pczynski. speaker of the Diet,
 There has also been much specula- ton among politicians as to whether Ignace Paderewski, pianist and for merly premier, would enter the presi- dential race. but no definite an nouncement has ever been made one way or the other. For nearly year Paderewski has been in America, spending most of his time in Paso Robes, California.
 1gnace Paderewski was recently quoted as saying at Paso Robles that he probably would return to Poland within four or five months that he considered himself at the service of his country and always ready for a call but he did not think he would accept the presidency if it were offer ed to him. He added that he had no intention to take part in govern mental affairs.

perilled and windows in neighbor-
ing sky -scrapers were shattered by
an explosion of an air-compressor
in the new: Illinois Merchants
Trust Bank building, early today.
Rescuers searched through de-
bris for others possibly injured. N
Nagle, foreman of a boiler room
gang just going on duty. said he
believed the explosion was caused
by a bomb.
An air compressor blew up with
the explosion and some Of the po-
lice and firemen expressed the
opinion that the explosion was con-
fined only to the compressor. AT
Covert, the engineer in charge, was
the man injured.

Fire followed the explosion, but
was quickly extinguished. Clouds
of smoke and dust and the scat.
