During the latter part of the mon

During the latter part Of the month
Fish and Game Commissioner Went
worth, Stanley and Oak will meet at the
State House, Augusta, for the purpose
of formulating plans for work the com
ing season on an entirely new basis.
Under the new law the old system of
wardens is abolished, and new wardens
will be appointed by the Governor upon
the recommendation of the commission
ers. These wardens will hold office for
three years, unless sooner removed. and
they are obliged to give bonds in the
sum of s. 900 each for the faithful per-
formance of their duties. About 20 of
these Wardens will be employed, and
they will be allowed for their compen-
sation fees probably amounting to about
5000 each.
Tie commissioners intend to establish
two new fish hatcheres, one fhis year
and one next. They are already taking
steps for the further stocking of Sebago
lake with salmon and trout. Last fall
they put into these waters 100000 young
salmon and trout, aud now they propose
putting in 300, 900 more which are now
being Matched out at Edes Falls hatch
cry. Some of the old ponds in the
State which have excellent waters for
salmon and trout are to be stocked with
those fish.

proven to have sold out to other parties,

kite Is rapidly hauled in with wind
lass, and the cake of Ice removed from
the can. But the inventor is now per.
iecting an even more effective plan for
manufacturing on large scale. He
sends up a huge kite, $50 feet long, by
steel wire cable. Under the kite IL
suspended u pulley, over which runs an
endless chain. bearing ut intervals
hooks by which the cans of water are
hung. As the cans of water going up
just balance the cans of Ice coming
down but little power Is needed. The
cans are filed with water from q pond.
As each hook passes the operator he re-
moves the can of Ice and hangs in its
stead one of water. The cable travels
but three miles an hour, and, as the big
Kite Is kept Mt an altitude of from four
to six miles. the cans remain In the
cold strata Of air quite long enough for
the water to become sOlidified. The
inventor expects to be able to furnish q
1O.cent lump for 3 cents.-New York
