If not Fall River* will be the way of industry as ex- j ample. It is time that Washington saw this. It is even now thinking over the matter. Law should regulate the right to strike; and re-strict the strike to definite and well-established issues, rather than to agitation a.nd vote of employees. The President so suggested a day or two ago. Bring up the standard of the unions; restrict the ties of the strike.?Lewision (Blaine), Journal. . KcientiiitH Are Puzzled Home ftfty years ago the owner of one of the most fertile farms in the town of Freeport, Maine, chained ? bull to a stake in a corner of his well- j grassed pasture. Hull-like, the animal chatted at his bonds and, in his j efforts to be free, pawed out a small ! chunk of the tough turf. Sand trickled from the ragged hole and, when the farmer came to Utile his sire back to the tie-up that night, he found a patch of powdery sand all of 10 yards across. He also found the hole and saw the sand slowly pushing out of it, as though some Gargantuan. subterranean hand were doing the pushing. That was the beginning of what has come to be called Maine's Sahara, j which now covers more than 200 acres and has long since swallowed up all of the once fertile farm with shifting, wind-blown dunes that, in places, are 00 feet high, it is a mystery, even to scientists who are supposed to understand such phenomena, and it is spreading over a wider area every year. Once vigorous pine and fir trees, the pride pf the farm woodlot, are seared and weatherl>cuU-n skeletons with sand piled about their trunks to a depth of 30 feet. The trees of the apple orchard fell victims to the creeping flood of sand years ago and all but their leafless topmost branches are inundated by the stuff. The sand is so powdery that it swirls and blows up into stifling dust clouds even in a light breeze. Thus, borne by the winds, the mysterious desert is constantly laying down a deadly dun carpet beyond its present borders and swallowing up more and more vegetation. There are, in Freeport, people who can remember back to the day when the desert was a fertile farm and they sometimes wonder if the little trickle of sand started by the hoof of a restive bull may not, some day, engulf the whole community, unless something is done to stop the growth of the earthy octopus. Many times in the past few years eastern movie directors have used Freeport's desert as the convincing and convenient "location" for screen stories in the Sahara, in the almost a^ famous Gobi Desert of Mongolia and in various and sundry sandy settir.gv. And movie fans have never i -u-rcc.ed that the arid dunes over I whi -h the swarthy shiek pursued the ? pretty Kngli-h girl, or the Foreign I.vg:?>nr.aires chased the bold, bad Be- j hou r- w?->-?' ..nee the ur.adver.turous 1 ctrrt? <..f a Maine farm. Backward Boys It is not always the boy who gives the brightest promise in early life who reaches the greatest heights, as many illustrious examples may prove. In a recent lecture, Or. Tregold, an eminent British exj>ert on feeblemindedness, declared that Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton were both backward as children, and would probably have been considered subnormal by present-day authorities. We may also be reminded that Kichurd Brinsley Sheridan, the great dramatist, was characterized by his own brilliant mother as an impenetrable dunce." Similar stories are told of early dullness on the part of Sir Walter Scot, Thackeray, Wellington, Cromwell and even the great Napoleon. Our own General Grant, while always mentally alert, was a ne'er-dowell during a part of his life and although he had performed creditable service in the Mexican war, resigned from the Army in 1864, and at the outbreak of the Civil War was a clerk in a store at Galena, 111. Yet he became the first ever to hold the rank of a full general in the United States Army and was President eight years. These examples, with many others which might be cited, should be encouraging to those who may be considered below the average during their school years. But they do not necessarily indicate that because a youngster is a dumbell he is assured of a brilliant future. ? Monroe Enquirer.
