Bangor. Me —Tears ago during the summer season everybody in Bangor and eastern Maine bad plenty of rasp berries and blueberries at low prices. Vow the berries are scarce and costly, and people are wondering why. Tbere are undoubtedly many M rianatlccs and probably ail of them would be true enough, but the real rause of it all is that the demand for ae fries has increased much faster has the supply This answer applies ,e a general way to all berries but is ,*art:cuiar!y true erf strawberries. The strawberry season is a long me. beginning i-ariy in the spring and .artlag until nearly the first of Aa rsst This was not always the case, aowerer. and the great length of sea on has been brought about by care nl cultivation which has been made ;-reliable by the ever-increasing de mand for the product. t nil! recent years the wild or field strawberries were the only one* to be round in the market in large quantl ■:e*. and even then the demand was -.ot so large as to make it profitable to pick and prej-are them for the mar -et and those wbo did tbt work »ere poorly paid for their labor. But 'be women who live in the berry dia trict are workers and they were glad enough to do ihe work though the sage was small The introduction of the large culti vated berries from other parts tempted the men o' the families to try culti vated strawberries and to share with the women the labor and the profit. It was 'ound to be profitable culture, both the demand and the supply in creased and each year the selling price was better than 'hat of the year before, showing that the demand was increasing faster than the supply. Thus It has been up to the present Time so far as straw berries are con cerned. bat with raspberries blueber ries and blackberries conditions have beer, different. Blueberries have been cultivated without trouble—in fact the only trouble coic-»s from the rapid spread of the bushes after they have once been planed, and those who have taken any pains with blackberry cultivation realize that they are even more profitable to raise than strawber ries and Just as easy to market. *-— ’I With raspberries and blueberries the natural supply of wild berries has been depended upon, and this changes from year to year, the demand being entirely dependent upon the supply and the price being made by the pickers. Raspberries have to be picked one at a time, and it is a smart picker who can pick twenty quarts per day. if the supply be large and the berries plentiful, and these, at an average price of from 12 to 15 cents, would give the picker from two to three dol lars per day. But the supply of rasp berries does not increase. It seems to decrease Sheep are kept in the pas tures where the berries used to grow, and that spoils the “patch.” Then there are a few fires, and locally the supply has fallen off rapidly in the last few years. In the large raspberry fields the supply Is large enough, but few peo ple care to travel any great distance to obtain raspberries as they do blue berries. because of the work of pick ing them, difficulty of transporting be cause of the perishable nature of the berries, and the fact of the season coming so close to that of the blue berries. To Save Wild Flowers. Vienna.—To prevent the devastation of the beautiful valleys among the mountains near Vienna, the city coun cil has forbidden the sale In the streets of the rarer wild flowers, such as the wood anemone, wild cyclamen, all kinds of gentian, narcissus, iris, orchids, lilies and barfs tongue fern. The order, citizens say. has come none too soon. Britain's Rarest Stamp. London.—An unused copy of the Great Britain £35 stamp, orange on blue paper. Queen Victoria issue, brought $315 at a sale. This Is Brit ain's rarest stamp. Cost of Learning to Fly Beginner Vay Achieve His Ambition for $1,000 to $5,000— Biplane Is Easiest. London—Nowadays any ordinarily active man. on deciding to learn to fly. may achieve his ambition in less than a month's time, provided he is prepared to spend some money if he is content to acquire the art of airmanship without actually owning an aeroplane of his own. it will cost him $1,000 or slightly more. Should he buy a machine his expenditure may be $2,500 to $5,000. according to the make and reputation of his air craft But the pronouncement of experts should be cited as regards the use of monoplanes and biplanes from the novice's point of view They say. and experience certainly bears them out. that the beginner learns to fly more easily and more safely upon a biplane than upon a monoplane The reason Is that when a biplane begins to lose Its balance In the air it heels over far more slowly than a mono plane. thereby giving the pilot more time to alter his levers and bring It again upon a level keel The damage that can be done by a bad descent was Indicated rather quaintly by one airman of experi ence. who contends that “you can smash up a machine apparently quite badly, and yet the repair will not be more than ?50<i An awkward land ing. causing the breaking of a skid or several wooden stays, will not cost more than $10 or $15." To a beginner who Is not well ac quainted with aeroplane motors the services of a special mechanic will be essentia! The salary of a relia ble man—one who thoroughly un derstands the delicate "timing up" process necessary every now and then with aeroplanes—ranges from $15 to $35 a week Two or three odl men are generally necessary at the commencement of each flight to as sist in maneuvering the aeroplane illuminated Gun Shells. London—A startling nvention has just impressed the arm* and navy ex perts that attended th» successful ex periments off the Ish of Wight with the device which illuminates sheila used for night firing To the base of the shell a tnetal cylinder Is attached by a screw move ment. and the ac of firing the gun causes a powerful Uluminant to burst Into flame. 'i his burns brightly throughout the w hole of the trajectory of the missile. It is especially useful In testing the effectiveness of range at night both over sea and over land. It also shows the course of the shell. Farmer Finds S350 Pearl. Ridgeley. Tenn—John Chambliss, a farmer at Sandy Fiord, took a day off and went mussel fishing.

NEW YORK’S ACTING MAYOR i -----. Greater far than the governorship of maty states, perhaps than any of them. 5s the mayor ship of New York, which has lately been filled by a young man of only thirty—John Putroy Mit chell. who became the ae'ing chief executive of the metropolis upon the disability of Mr Gayno*\ He is undoubtedly the youngest chief executive any great American city has ever had and it shoa-s the great Anserean capacity for govern ment when so young a msn can step into a seat of power so crest, of honor so high and responsi bilities so vast. Within an hour after Mayor Gtynor had been struck down by an assassin's bullet it ts safe to say that at least half the men in New York who give any attention to public affairs and their man agement had thought of John Purrov Mitchell tbe young president of hoard Qf aldermen. who. under the charter would succeed to the Srst off.ee of the city if the mayor's wound should resu t fatally. Mr. Mitchell was twenty-eight years old. and had been practising law on his own account for five years, when the making of his public record began. It was tr the family to study law. and young Mitchell had determined on that before h« went to college Consequently when he came to the elec tive courses in hla Junior year he turned aside from the disttnctlve s-ndtea of the arts and choae those which he believed woo Id help him In h!s -.-.ter career.
