IS HONORED BY SCIENTISTS WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR MAINE. It Is Impossible to judge nf the com j plete elilcieney of protuhltlon hy stir- faee investigations. One has to know j what conditions were hefore prohibi tion came to pass, and a study of con ditions in Maine previous to the adop. Hon of the prohibitory policy as re corded hy those who witnessed the change which came over the slate six ty yeari" ago when it outlawed the tiat tic leaves no doubt of such a transfor mation there at that time us has re cently heen taking place in such slates as Oregon, Washington. Arizona and the slates of the South. Hy all the ac counts of those times the unmistak able signs of slilftlessuesH and poverty due to drink were everywhere preva lent in Maine. Hut Ihe one tiling that Impresses visitors to the state more than anything else today Is the thrift the splc-anil-spanncss of hiiildings and grounds, own to the white paiing fences which testify to the effect that the prohibition of drink has had upon the population. The savings habit pos sesses Maine to a startling degree. Street urchins carry pennies to store keepers and deposit them there until the amount reaches $1, then the dollar is proudly carried to the savings hank. And the comparative pc.uciiy of crimes, the smallness of Ihe state penitentiary, the safety with which women and chil dren visiting the stale in the summer roam the woods nnd hills of Maine, all point Ihe same prohibition moral. lStek r Theodore William Itichards, presi dent of the American Association for Ihe Advancement of Science, was horn In erinnntown, I'a., on .lanuary HI, INflS, and Is (lie son of William T. itich ards, a famous American painter of marine anil landscapes, and Anna Mat lack Itichards, well known for her po etical writings.

It is significant that not only was the wet majority of the state reduced In remarkable degree, hut the large cities made great dry gains. Kvon Cin cinnati gained. Cleveland, Toledo, Youngstown, Akron, Canton, all gave prohibition majorities, nnd the drys carried Columbus, the capital city. City dwellers ns well as rural citizens are beginning to ronlize that the li cense policy means economic waste. It Is easy to predict the result of lean Chemical society as Its president. also lie Is an honorary member of the ('hernials club of New York city.

Kattenhach. presi dent of the wholesalers' association, mi.kes this statement, says the New York World: "The wholesalers will pass the now tax on th" retailers, nnd the retailers nlll pass It on to the consumers. They must do this or go out of business." But the consumer, many of him, Is refusing to pay, nnd saloon patronage Is falling off In marked degree. Thoo sands of saloons are going out of business. using tlieui as a base of operations. "u Observador, Lisbon, has con stantly advocated the creation of na val police and protecting stations In the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. In urging this course of ac li'Ui, in a recent Issue. It states: Nunc would be more important in point of gei.rajiliieai position and natural re sources than a naval repairing, fur nishing and protecting station In the Azores or Western islands and, if nec essary, for a relay point for American fiir-.es crossing the Atlantic. Some understanding already ought to have been hud between Portugal. Knglaml and America.' Harbor Facilities Not Very Good. "The Azores occupy an area of IIJ square miles. The archipelago com prises nine Islands, of which the chief are St. Michael, In the Southeastern group; Terclera, tiraclosa, Saint (ieorge, Fayal and Pico, In the Central group. In 1IM1 the population of tin Islands was IMilH.'S, mainly of Portu guese origin. "The islands nt present do not af ford the best of harbor facilities. Those, however, that may he avail able have potential possibilities that should not greatly tax the Ingenuity of our engineers. "One of the best harbors is at An gra. on the Island of Terclera. How ever, the Islands afford other advan tages that would make them tin excel lent base. The climate Is mild and snow seldom seen. Tin temperature is never higher than Si! degrees. An- gra is the only city on Tereiera, anil has 12.0IHI population. It affords many diversions and lis inhabitants of every class are notably deferential and hos pitable. Here there nre three social clubs, an athletic club and a lawn ten nis association. "The deepest, aud some claim the safest, anchorage Is at Vcllas, be tween Piso and St. (Jeorge. It Is known as SI. (ieorge's channel. The natives of St. (Ieorge are cbieily occu pied in raising cattle and manufactur ing cheese for export. Pico and Fayal. "On Pico, across the channel, is the symmetrical, cone-shaped peak, rising to a height of 7,Si5 feet above sea level. The climate here is unrivaled. It is said to be one of the healthiest spots In the world, absolutely free from marshes or stagnant water. "Fayal is perhaps best known to American tourists. Here the first Azorean and fourth consulate of the I'nitiil Sliites was established In IstKl. Here the llrst American rest ileliee was built by .lohu H. Iabney, the first consul. The harbor at llorta, l-'ayal, is the most spacious in the Azores. Hy improving Ihe breakwater here an excellent port would be af forded to vessels of our tleet. At llorta are anchored eleven submarine ahles wllh a joint central station for the Knglish. American and other com panies. "As a relay point for troops the Azores would meet almost every re quirement. The climate is equable; access easy, abundant streams for water supp'.y; fertile soil and within two day.' .'-ailing of the continent. "That the Azoreans would give our troops and ships n cordii.l welonie is unquestioned. Friendly lelations be tween the United States and the Azoreans date back to the War of 1812 when the Armstrong was benched on the Island. "During the Civil war the Tuscarora ind Kearsarge were stationed there. of Hie Alabama, the ('..afiderale pri vateer, at I'le-rbourg. mure Ihini Phi Azoreans Were lli.-lobers of Ihe crews of Ihe two I'bUin ships.

GREAT EAGLE OF STONEWORK Quartz Rock Bird, Work of Indians, Measures 120 Feet From Tip to Tip of Wings. Conflletlnc stories nr told coneern lng n lurce stonework etiRle which Is sltutitcd on the hrond top of n stony riiiti-v'iillled hill in middle (ieornhi.

A hundred years from now It will prohnlily he found lying on its liaek, with outspread winirs and tail, even as it lies today. For it Is made of quartz reek so etinniiiKly plaeed that It would require n piel; in n stronp man's hands to displace any one of them. The rocks lap and over lap In such a manner as to represent feathers. No cement holds them In position, and the stones vary In size, welshing from half n pound to three or four pounds. The iimitro rests on a very firm foundation, for thp stone work extends several feet Into the ground. Once, perhaps twice. Irensnre-seek- liiB vandals dug Into the hreast of the eagle ; hut the work must have proved too lahortoiis, for the diggers gave up hefore they had reached ihe hottoin layer of overlapping stones. ; Hough hut fairly aecurnte measure- : meats of the hird show the length of the eagle from the middle of the tail to the head to he Wl feet, and from tip to tip of outspread wings VM feet. The length of the Leak Is HI feet, and the height of the hody at the center of the hreast Is 10 feet ! The eagle lies wllh Its head to the I west. Tradition does not give nny satis factory explanation of the nge or the j meaning of the great stone mound. It i may have had religions signillenncc j lo the Itetl men who built It, nnd It may he the hurlnl place of some great i chief. It Is a most mysterious and Interesting prehistoric monument.
