Expenditures for Furniture.

The Commission expended $4,000 of the
appropriation for furniture of various
kinds, and other articles necessary to tit
up the Offices on H Street northwest.
where the work OF the Commission is ear
ried on. In addition to that, there was
expended something over $4,000 for pay
ment OF clerks in the State Department
to do clerical work for the Commission.
The State Department was shorthanded
when the work of the Commission had to
be done, so that the Commission had to
pay for extra help to complete the work.
1t is stated that, had the furniture not
been purchased or the extra help en-
ployed, the Commission would have been
able to pull through. About SIS. ESQ of the
appropriation went to pay for work done
by the clerical force IN the Department of

Among other things harmful to fish
cries is the bird known as the loon
which is found in this State. These
birds destroy a great number of fish
being especially able to catch them as
they nave the power of diving and re-
manning under water for Il consider
able length of time. The loon is one
of the most interesting of Maine birds.
one peculiar fact is that more than
one pair Of breeding birds are seldom
found on one pond. Two eggs are laid
early III June on 4 depression Of moist
moss. always upon an island The
young birds dive with great ease and
show remarkable endurance but they
may be run down by a boat as con-
tinucd diving causes them TO get in an
asphyxiated condition. When pursued
the birds never seek the land but al
ways make for the decnest water.
Perhaps it is we'll for Maine inland
fisheries that these birds are not more
numerous.
