Movement to Get
Lewiston Train

\ movement is being started along
the Maine Central between Lewis n
and N'atcrville to have the after
noon train from Portland and Bos-
Ion, which arrives in Lewiston at
$50 p. M, continue on to Waterville
as it did in the years prior to the
taking over of the railroads by the
government IN 1918; also to have II
pullman car attached to the train
for the entire distance. Those in
favor of this plan to come to Lew
iston directly and enlist the aid of
local business men and patrons of
the railroad.
The argument for local people 10
interest themselves is that the only
way that they can get to Watcrvilc
on the railroad after three O'Clock III
the afternoon is to go by way of
Brunswick and Augusta and that it
would be Il great convenience to
them If they could have this train.
This train would connect at Water
vile with the train which now
reaches Bangor about 10 O'Clock at
night. To get to Bangor on that
train from Lewiston and Auburn it
is necessary to leave on the $3.50 p.
m. train by way of Brunswick, or 60
to Watcrville on the 3 p. m. train
and wait there until after S p. m.
An effort was made a year or two
ago to have the Public Utilities
Commission order the train back.
but this was not passed for the pro-
ponents Of the move were convinced
that at the time the railroad was not
justified in restoring this service
They now say that condition has
passed.-Lewiston Journal.

Ancient Shadow Pictures

The earliest idea Of moving pic
ture was recorded in the time of Con-
fucius. the Chinese philosopher. AT
least this is the deduction drawn
from his studies into the question by
Will Day. a well-known figure in the
English film world. who has exhibit
cd in London collection of relics and
machines tracing the growth of'the
moving picture from the first primi-
tive idea to its present form.
The shadow shows" of the time OF
Confuscius arc the first of all known
cndcavors to present animated pic
lures. From this early time. how
ever. there was a long period of in
activity in development. for the next
record Of progressive achievement Is
found in 1646. when Athanasius
kirchcr published a book in Latin,
in which a description and illustra-
ton is given of n moving picture
which the writer had evolved with
mirrors and a tallow candle for
illuminant.
Included in the collection is the

bridge used to settle the controversy
between two American lnillionaires

proved the efficiency of such an i'm

it derives q large amount of benefit
from it.

Cypress is 300 Years Old

The Great Tree of Tule" in the
state of OaXaca, after some 500 years
of recorded existence, is beginning to
show signs of wear and tear. This
giant cypress, with a trunk so huge
that thirty persons with outstretched
arms can scarcely span it, is known
to have been a fair-sized tree when
Columbus discovered America. and
history recounts that Cortez and his
Spanish soldiers slept beneath it's
branches four centuries ago when en-
route to Honduras following their
conquest of Mexico.
Although time has dealt kindly
with the monarch, a correspondent
during a recent visit to the tiny.
village of Santa Maria del Tule.,
Oaxaca. noticed that the wrinkles Of
age are beginning to show. There is
no cause for worry. however, that
Tule. as the Indians affectionately
call the tree, will wither away before
the present generation has passed on.
Even If it should, Tule has son
some fifty yards away from the par
entail boughs that is showing healthy
signs of maintaining the family
honor in the matter of robustness.
Hijo (son), as the Indians have
named it, already is so large that
twelve persons are needed to span 1t.
and Hijo is only a couple of hundred
years old.
The Great Tree of Tule rises about
ITS feet and is said to be one Of the
largest specimens in the world. The
spread of it's branches is almost $50
feet. 1t stands in the courtyard of a
tiny church and is the only landmark
in the village of Santa Maria del
Tule, where the people revere the
tree almost as much as one of their
saints.-New York Post.

Counterfeitino A Mania

A secret service man tells OF man
in Chicago near eighty who has spent
about two thirds of his life in prison
as result of an overpowering inclf-
nation to make counterfeit dimes.
Every time he. has been released he
has gone back to dime making, and
been caught and returned to, the PEN
itentiary.
Another man, originally from Co.
lumbus, O., about sixty-seven years
old. has spent nearly forty years be-
hind stone walls for making lead dol
lars. He confesses that in all that
time he has never succeeded in pass
ing more than 100 Of them.
"Counterfeiting is q mania" says
the secret-service man, 'and once 1t
seizes a man, he rarely gets over it.
They tell me there's a rare thrill
about seeing a counterfeit bill come
from the press"
There must be. A young Federal
employee who was arrested recently
for raising banknotes by pasting fig
ures of a larger denomination over
the original imprint apparently had
done 1t purely for the love of the
game. without proflting at all. He
had given away the bills he raised.
Thus most counterfeiting seems to
be creative work gone wrong. If the
counterfeiters could only be caught in
time and made to use their construc-
tive ingenuity in better cause the
world would be the gamer. = Asbury

FLORENCE MACBETH PRIMA I /
DONNA Of CHICAGO OPERA
ENTHRALLS LARGE AUDIENCE
Patrons Of the Augusta Entertain

Patrons Of the Augusta Entertain
ment Course had an opportunity
Thursday evening to hear Miss
Florence Macbeth, q coloratura So
promo with q voice Of unusual full
ness and clarity. sing q most varied
program. Miss Macbeth. although a
young singer is Prima Donna of the
Chicago, Opera Company and Au-
gusta was indeed fortunate that she
appeared here.
Miss Macbeth has q remarkable
voice, smooth and round In both the
upper and lower registers, always
under perfect control, and she sings
with such apparent ease that it
seems the most simple, as well as
the most pleasant thing in the world
to do. Her tones come forth as clear
and mellow as the sound of bell,
ringing out without the slightest
change Of volume, unless the singer
will it so. Her increase from pianis-
simo to fortissimo or the reverse is
regulated with the greatest nicely,
the muscles of her throat being al
ways ready to obey her slightest
will.
Every number sung by Miss Mac
beth last evening was heartily ap-
plauded and she was called back
time after time. The hit Of the even
ing, however. was the Aria, Mad
Scene from "Lucia." This very diff
ficult selection was rendered in a
manner that proved the capabilities
of the singer beyond doubt and
she was applauded until the roof
trembled. Always free with her en-
cores she responded with "Lo, Here
the Gentle Lark" by Bishop.
With Miss Macbeth were George
Roberts, pianist, and Edward Meyer
flutist. Mr.. Roberts accompanied
Miss Macbeth for every number and
Mr.. Meyers played the flute abligato
| for the Mad Scene" Mr.. Roberts
also rendered two fine solos and was
| forced to give an encore. The flute
| obligato by Meyers was extremely
we'll played and the instrument was
| perfectly blended with the voice OF

Tree Owns Itself Is Dying

The only tree in the world that
owns itself is dying.
1t is great white oak. standing
at bearing and Finley SITS. in this city
A marble slab at the base bears this
inscription:
For, and in consideration of the
great love l bear this tree. and in a
great desire that this tree be pro-
tccted for all time. l convey to said
oak tree entire possession of itself
and all land within eight feet of it
on all sides.
This inscription. cut in marble. is
signed by William II. Jackson. who
was the father of James jackson,
late Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Georgia. William II. jack
son also executed deed and filed it
with due formality, making the tree
owner of itself and of the ground
Immediately surrounding it.
The tree is Of great age and decay
has set in. If it has to be cut down
who will come into possession of the
plot of earth to which the ancient
oak holds a legal title is a question
troubling officials. Will the property
pass into the possession of the town,
or will it return to members of the
Jackson family? Or can little
shoot that sprung up near the giant
tree set up claim as the son of the
ancient oak?
In the deed making the tree owner

ed no provision to cover the event.
uality of the tree dying. He didn't
say who was to become the owner of
the land to which the tree now has
title. 1t seemed to be his thought
that the old oak. under which he had
played as boy, would live forever.
For more than IS years the old
tree has been a freebooter, holding in
fee simple the soil in which it had
taken root. In the office of the State
historian Is record which reads:
There is tree in Athens which is
an owner of land. In the early part
Of the century the soil on which it
stands was owned by Col. William
H. Jackson. In his old age, the tree
had reached magnificent proper
tons, and the thought Of it being
destroyed by those who would come
after him was so repugnant that he
recorded a deed making the tree
owner of itself.
Granite posts have been placed
around the tree to mark the bound
airy of the property it owns, and
these posts are connected with
chains.
