More Than $50 Deer Come
From MOOsehead Region

More than $50 deer have come
down from the Moosehead region this
year according to report by Warden
John Flint, game commissioner at
Oakland Junction. Mr.. Flint said
that at the present time hunting con-
ditions are very poor on account of
the woods being so dry that the noise
of rustling leaves makes it difficult
for a hunter to get near enough to
shoot. The only thing that will
remedy this condition is q snow or
rainfall. A light snowfall, according
to Warden Flint, would mean that
many more would be shot.
Mr.. Flint is expecting large party
of Waterville hunters to return today.
He said that the number down SO far
is much smaller than it was last
year at this time but that there
are many hunters still in the woods
and without doubt the total will be
swelled very rapidly the last of tho
season. The warm and fair weather
is causing the hunters to stay in the
woods longer this year and a great
many will stay until the last day of
the season, which is only a week
away.
Among the hunters to return
Thursday from the big woods was
Mrs. Esther Davis Of Oakland, who
brought back as her quota two fine
deer. Nine deer were brought down
Thursday as follows: A. A. Pentile-
ton, Belfast, one; B. G. Stilkey, Bel
fast, one: r. Milton, Brookline,
Mass, one; Mrs. Esther Davis, Oak
land, two; Willie Davis, Oakland,
two; John A. Johnson, Gardiner. one;
Harry Tuck, Gardiner, one. Practi-
,cally all Of this shipment were good

Hunt Euxnt,a Secret.

Mightier than the pyramids In its
power to guard the secrets of ancient
Egypt is the Nile, but when the ex-
cavators of the Metropolitan museum
return to their work at the pyramid
fields of Lisht next season they will
go prepared to match the strength
of scientific curiosity against that of
the great river. This was learned
from Albert M. Lythgoe, curator of
the Egyptian department at the
museum.
These fields at Lisht include the
pyramids of Amenemhat I, and
Sesostris 1, the founders of the
powerful twelfth dynasty, under
which the middle kingdom rose to
its maximum glory. These Pharaohs
mark the pinnacle of Egypt's second
great historical period. as those OF
the eighteenth dynasty, to which
Tut Rnkh-Amen belonged, marked
the height of the third.

Mystery of Ark of Coxenant

During the time it was in regular
use and for an indeterminate period
thereafter, tits not only possible. but
probable that due to the heavy odic
charge in and upon it, the Ark of
Covenant could and did kill the pro-
fame who opened it, says Harry v.
Thornton. in Adventure Magazine.
It brought disaster to whoever laid
unlawful hands upon it, regardless of
their knowledge or beliefs concerning
it, just as radium would burn and,
if the quantity was sufficient. kill
anyone not handling it properly to-
day.
The priesthood. including the Lew
ties knew, of course, just how to pro-
tect themselves, and were conse-
quently not harmed, just as those of

Therefore if the Ark of Coven-
ant with all it's original charge of
odic force still intdct could be placed
before one of us today and we, even
in complete ignorance of what it was.
violated it, l firmly believe we would
pay the penalty. But we must re-
member that this force, like a charge
of static electricity, tends constantly
to dissipate itself. and consequently
must at intervals be renewed.
Now it is improbable that this has
been done with the lost Ark of the
Covenant, so that If it is still in exis-
ence it has probably long ago lost al
most all the powers it at one time
undoubtedly possessed. However, If
a sufficient remnant of them did still
exist in it due to some secret of its
construction, it would now harm Jew
and Gentle alike, because the secret
knowledge Of controlling these forces
Is as much lost to the Hebrew priest
hood of today as it is to us.
