sion today and they will be unusually

for more wild land hearings. They
will be at Dover. Wednesday, and at
SkOWhegan. Friday. when the hearings
on the Piscataquis and Somerset wild
lands Will be held.
The tabulated lists have not yet beer
made up but it is thought from what
little examination has been made that
there viii be an increase in the num-
Der OF cows and further increase in
the number of horses. The number Of
animals Of this kind. as has been
stated, has fallen off in the past and
how much Of an increase has been
made will be looked forward to with
great deal Of interest.

When the legislators come to the
State House, next winter. they Will
hardly recognize the rotunda on ac-
count Of the change in appearance.
The change will be noted before one
reaches the State House itself. The
eagle and bronze arch are to come
down in truth this time. and on either
post at the entrance is to be placed q
cluster of lights which will stand four
feet above the tops of the posts. At
the head of the landing of each flight
of stairs will be posts nine feet high on
either side which Will support three
lamps contained in glass globes.
The present chandelier in the rotunda
will be replaced by one similar in de-
sign to that in the Senate chamber.
1t will have As electric globes in four
sections each section of which may be
controlled by switches. Ordinarily it
will not be necessary to light the whole
of the lamps. but when it is necessary
the whole rOtunda will be blaze OF
light. In addition it will have l6 gas
burners in case the electricity should
fail at any time. The electric lamps
are to be enclosed in one large globe 81
opalescent glass 50 that the light Will
be soft and beautiful. The chandelier
which is now over the foot Of the
grand staircase will be removed as
solid brass standards five feet high
supporting five lamps each, are to be
placed on either post at the foot Of the
staircase. These will give 50 much
light that the present chandelier VIII
not be needed. The work is to be done
by the Mitchell. Vance Co, Of New
York. they being the lowest bidders on
the contract for doing the work.
The effect when the work is complet-
cd will be very pretty and an evidence
of the faultless taste of Col. E. G.

buildings.

STATE HOUSE.
Work of the School Improve
ment League in Maine.
Plans For Changes in Lighting Ro-
tunda and Entrance.
Gossip Of the Departments Session Tor
State Assessors.

One Of the most influential things in
the State school world is the school
Improvement league and the work that
is being done through it is something
remarkable. In many Of the towns in
the State the league has almost caused
revolution in the appearance of the
grounds Through the league the
parents feel that it is my school" ana
not the school and with this per
sonal interest take the same pride in
the school building and its appearance
as they would in their own home.
In many of the towns the formation
Of the league has resulted in setting
out plants on the school grounds and
in place of the barren spots that char
acteriZed the former schoolyard there
is a nicely turfed spot that cannot but
make the place attractive. Further
than that, there is hardly a school i'll
the State that does not boast of its
own flag. The interior of the build
ings have been changed from a cheer
less room which the scholars We're apt
to regard as a prison for five hours in
the day, to a bright. cheerful room
Hastily decorated and as attractive as
many Of the homes. This has all beer
accomplished by means Of the school
improvement league. 1t was started buC
q fnW yCa's ago. but now numbers over
loco members. This was all accom-
plished through the efforts If Hon. w
w. Stetson. State superintendent Of
schools. who wears one of the league
buttons with as much pride as many
show a 32nddegree Masonic charm.
1t is the work of this league that
will, perhaps, cause a slight disap-
pCintment to the people who return
during the Old Home week. The old
battered school building is rapidly be
coming a thing of the past and those
who look for such building on their
return will seek in vain.
