The wisdom of the last Legislature in
providing for a statistical work upon the
Maine summer resorts is we'll attested in
the seventh annual report Of Hon. S. w.
Matthews, commissioner of labor and in
dustrial statistics. Such abstract as it 10
possible to give in our columns 10 published
this morning and affords . quite ccm-
prehensivc idea of the salient features of
the undertaking which Mr.. Matthews has
so successfully accomplished. This book
should receive a wide circulation-abroad
to attract more attention to Mainc's incom-
parable summer resorts and at home to
give the people of the State a comprehen-
sivc idea Of the Importance of maintaining
in every way practicable the popularity Of
our resorts.

II is too much to hope that the Republi-
cans will be able to overcome today the
$1,000 majority which the Democrat, have
HAD in the fourteenth and fifteenth congress
sional districts in New York. But this
election which takes place today is one to
which the Tammapy leaders have been
'looking forward with considerable degree
of apprehension. The attitude of the ad
aud the exposure of the utter rottenncss of
the Tammany organization have disgusted
good many voters. But as is always the
case many Of those who are disgusted will
affect pleased expression and cast Dem
Ocratic vote.

Sole Oecupation Of Seven Hundred EAni-
lies In . Small Town Of Saxony.
In small town called st. Andreas-
berg lSaxony) some 700 families are en-
tirely engaged in the task Of rearing
and educating good canary singers. A
great proportion of these singers is sent
abroad, far or near-to London, to Aus
tralia and to the United States, where
one single firm ships 100, 600 birds each
year. These canaries are the inferior
birds, the schreir, as they are called in
Germany, on account Of their notes.
These schreir, which are bought from
20 to 80 cents in the Harz, are sold for
$2, $3 or $4 in America. The best birds
are kept in Germany, where they are
called hohlroller. A good hohlroller
cannot be had under $S or $1O-in the
Harz-and $40 and $25 are no unusual
prices. But such birds are certainly
splendid singers. The Germans have
quite number of words, each of which
applies to different sort of tune, or
intonation; the beulrolle is in minor
key; klingerolle applies to silver tones;
koller to warbling which reminds of
the murmur of water, gluchrolle is
similar to the nightingale's notes, and
one may say that every detail of the
cauary's song has been named, and that
for every one there is standard of per-
fection which the expert fancier knows
perfectly well. The song of all canaries
is not exactly similar. Each race has
its special points, and while the one is
great on beulrolle, for instance, it is
weak on gluchrolle, while the case is
reversed with another race.
Of course singing is natural feature
with canaries, but the influence of edu-
cation is considerable. The educational
curriculum begins in May for the young
canaries, and they are, as soon as possi-
BILE, separated from their parents. Ed
ucation is all in this: Keep the young
bird from hearing any but excellent
singers. Some Is or 90 young canaries
are put in one cage with an older bird,
an especially good singer, and he teaches
them the elements. They try to initiate
him, and hence comes his beneficial in
fluence. In August each of the young
birds is put in a small cage and kept
in the immediate vicinity Of the cage
of the teacher. At this time the fancier
tries to gather some idea of the prog
ress achieved and of the aptitude of the
different birds. The best are put in the
nearest vicinity of the teacher. In or
der to prevent the young birds from
getting disturbed their cages are wrap
ped with cloth, so as to prevent them
from seeing what is going on around
them, and in order to encourage sing
ing the cages are generally shaped in
form of a dome; this shape intensifies
the sound, and the birds are pleased
with their own music.-Popular Science

An AUTOMATIC LIGHTHOUSE.


There Il No Keeper, but the Bright Light
Blazes Rerpetually.
A remarkable lighthouse is the one
which sheds its warning rays from an es-
tuaryof the Gironde, in France, where it
stands upon an isolated rock in the midst
Of a treacherous reef. The popularity OF
this lighthouse is that it is unoccupied,
and yet its lamp is burning perpetually.
The famous Eddystone light o. the coast
Of England, rising from fcck that is
only large enough to afford q foundation
for the structure, is remarkable because
the men having it in charge are able to
leave their confined quarters only once
b three months, when vessel comes to
them with supplies, letters, papers and a
new detachment Of watchers.
It was to do away with this exacting
and lonesome life that the French engi-
neers set themselves about the task OF
devising method by which the useful
ness of the lighthouse could be main
tanned without SO much personal atten-
ton. It thus happened that lamp was
invented that would burn continuously
for two months without being trimmed
or replenished.
The burning fluid used in this lamp is
an ordinary mineral oil. The tube in the
interior Of the lamp is furnished with
wick having thickness three times as
great as those employed generally in
lighthouses. Around the burning sur
face of the wick is a cake made of pat
ented preparation consisting largely OF
carbonized tar. This protection assures
the duration and the uniformity of the
fame. A chimney made Of mica is
placed around the fame, and this in
sures an increase in the power OF the
light. The supply of oil is assured by
means of reservoir containing l0O
quarts, the lamp consuming 80 grams
each hour. To provide always for the
reservoir being furnished with sufficient
fuel gauge is fixed at its side that gov
erns the supply flowing in from another
reservoir at distance, and this gauge
permits Just so grams per hour to perco-
late through the little supply pipe into
the supply reservoir.
The diameter of the lanternis 56 inches
and it cost 81, 400. The intensity of the
light keeps equable until the expiration
of two months, when it is necessary to
visit the lighthouse and replenish the
wick. The light can be seen more than
10 miles at sea. The wick is cleansed
and drawn up gradually by the action
of the tar cake tits mouth. The French
government is arranging to put up pothers
of these houses, and it is also perfecting
an invention by which a perpetual cleo
trio light can be controlled by wires rum
ming through submarine cable to the
the land.-Exchange.

state, to see that these people are shorn

have so long exercised to the injury of

and insatisable greed. 1t is impossible

would call attention to the attitude as
sumed during the entire campaign by
the champion Of the supporters OF Ana
conda-Marcus DAILY. Has he spent the
time in retorting in kind to the insults
of his calumniators; so far as one at this
distance can judge, he has paid no at
tention whatever to the yelping pack
that assail him. Having faith in the
intelligence and integrity of a majority
of the electors Of this state, standing firm
in the respect and confidence of his
fellow-citizens, and all who admire a CHAR
acter capable of attaining through
invincible integrity and adherence to the
principle hat "the laborer is worthy Of
his hire" he has attained an eminence in
the estimation of his fellow citizens from
which he can look with complacence on
the desperate efforts of his liliputian op-
ponents to dlslodge him. DO not, there
fore, let any attempt at sophistry or the
introduction Of false issues divert you
from your purpose. Give the lie to
those who impudently assert that the

ticle vote for Anaconda for the capital,
