FOR HATCHERY.
Lobsters To Re Bred On The Coast
of Maine.

WASHINGTON, January 10 The last
thing before the House adjourned today
MIR. Littlefeld secured the passage Of a
bill authorizing the construction OF lob
ster hatchery on the coast OF Maine at Il
cost OF not over ten thousand dollars for
purchase OF land and water rights. The
bill had the recommendation Of the con-
missioner OF hsherias for the Unit cd
States, who says that in view of the rap
Id decline OF the lobster fishery on the
New England coast 1t is important that
special efforts be- made to increase the
output OF young Holsters AS Maine is
ths centre of the lobster industry and
s6pplies more than two-thirds OF the lob
sters in the United States, 1t is believed
that the work of artificial propagation
can be largely increased by a station on
the ooast of Maine, especially devoted to
this purpose. Ths work Is now done in
two Massachusetts, stations partially de-
voted to this purpose.
There was no opposition to the bill,
but some members from Interior portions
of the country, Mr.. King OF Utah, want
ed to know II the hatchery would in
crease the population of Maine so there
would be no danger Of loss of Congress

1t was probably known to nearly
every Roman citizen how the mortar
which ceinented the stones of their
buildings was made-just as it is now
known to the majority OF Englishmen
that the principal ingredient of NOR
tar in England is street scrapings.
But, the knowledge being general, no.
body wrote it down, and in time, as
the Romans shifted their building upon
slaves and foreigners, the recipe of
their mortar was lost. So far it has
not been discovered, though the secret
of it would be immensely valuable, for
the cement outlasts the very stones
which it joins.
