common name for it save ''big water bug"
the name by which people usually refer to
it. Flies at night, and therefore is not
often seen, unless accidentally belated by
some means or other Is amphibious, that
is, it can live in water or out, just as suits

Paul and Wyatt taught the world how
TO spin hundred or more threads at one
operation; but years elapsed after these
early inventions before they came into gen
eral use. Paul worked his own machines
for many years; but when be died they
were broken up and sold, and the world
continued TO spin on q loot wheel. The
tardy realization OF the value of these in
ventions was due primarily 10 the opposi-
ton of the hand operatives to the intro
ductiou of anything in the nature of i'm
proved machinery. The guilds were strong,
and determined in their refusal to operate
or tolerate new devices for dispensing with
hand labor
Poor John Kay, after inventing his fly
shuttle, was compelled TO close his mill at
Leeds by the riotous hostility of the hand
weavers. Learning that he was also en-
gagged in devising machinery for spinning,
a mob broke into his house, DESTROYED
everything it contained. and would have
killed The inventor himself had not friends
struggled him away in wool sheet. We
need not be surprised at the blind brutal
ity of these ignorant workingmen. They
looked upon the inventor ss an enemy,
planning 10 take the bread from their
mouths.
But what shall we say of the manufac-
tuners who stole the patents OF Kay, with
out recognition OF the service his genius
had done them9 And what shall we say
of the government which permitted this
man, in his old age, without recompense
for inventions which added untold millions
To the wealth Of his country, to seek refuge
from persecution in France, there to die in
abjecLSenury?-S \. d. North in Popular

BANGOR AND ARoosTooK.
Some Flattering Prospects of the Road to
Names Garden.

AUGUSTA. December IS The outlook
continues bright for the construction Of
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad. A dis
tance Of 12o miles has been sur
yeyed and such an advantageous
route was found that even the most
sanguine friends of the enterprise were
surprised. There are 81 miles of Gre
stretch, which is only IL. miles out OF an
air line. A determined effort is being made
to secnre subscriptions to the stock
and these efforts have been quite sue
cessful. Hon. Fred Atwood Of WinterpOrt
has visited Massachusetts and Rhode Isl-
and recently in the interest of the road,
meeting various capitalists and others
whose business relations with northern
Maine are affected, presenting TO them the
advantages Of the line, from a business
point of view, to the wholesale trade, etc.
Bangor has subscribed in the neighbor-
hood OF S150,000. which will probably be
raised to S20O.000, and Aroost00k county
S45, 900. to be increased, most likely, to S75-
600. Not q few subscriptions have been
obtained from parties in western and CEN
trai Maine land the friends of the line make
the point that people la these section OF
the stats should be interested and
lend assistance. as, If built, it will develop
a large section of country and materially
increase the prosperity Of the state. Lew
lston and Portland merchants do business
IN Aroost0ok county. and more direct
line Will be of great advantage to them.

AUGUSTA, December 1S-The Governor

what time interest can be collected.
Secretary of State Fessenden made a
statement relative co the seizure of liquor
belonging TO the liquor agent of C0nnor
plantation, by an officer at Caribou. The
liquor had been purchased by the agent
from State Commissioner Howard, and 1t
had been shipped from Boston to the agent.
II was improperly worked. however, so
that the officer inadvertently seized it at
Caribou. Secretary of State FcsSenden
found that proceedings which were begun
in the Aroost0ok County Superior Court
had been dismissed by the judge, but the
officer by advice of his counsel, refused TO
give it up. although The Secretary laoored
to effect settlement. The question arises
to whom does the liquor belong. Commis-
sioner Howard or the common liquor agent.
Several thought Howard was the rigntful
owner. The matter was referred to the
COMMITTEES of the Council. The COnnoI
agent was arrested for selling liquor with
out the payment of a United States special
tax, and it was stated before the Council
that he was now IN jail.
