sruRseO OVER DOG QUESTION
Camden People Must Hereafter Pay
a Tax for Their CANNES
Special 10 tho Evenlng Journal


Camden, April 12.-At the monthly
meeting of the Town Commissioners,
William Ellison was unanimously re
elected president of the board.
The dog question has bothered the
commissioners considerably. Heretofore
owners would send their CANNES for
a visit 10 the country during the
period the assessor was compiling tho
assessment list and when he had fin
ished they would send for them,
thereby escaping the fifty cents tax.
But now the board has remeded that
loop hole by passing an ordinance
levying a tax at any time on any new
dog known to be kept within the
town limits.
During the cunning seasons this
town used to be full of untaxed dogs.
but as the ordinance stands, if a dog is
kept within the town limits for ever
so short p time. the owner must pay
the tax.

LITERARY WORLD

The April issue of The Engineering
Magazine has for its leader a critical
study of the reports of the lsthmian
Canal Commission. from the pen of
John George Leigh, who discusses this
great question most exhaustively and
impartially. showing the advantages
of the Panama route from every point
of view. Mr.. Carpenter continues his
papers on "Money-Making Manage
ment for Workshop and Foundry; -
this series having already attracted
widespread and interested attention.
A richly illustrated and practical arti-
Gle is that of E. p. Watson on modern
boiler-making practice, while Mr.. Nc
Farland brings his study of the growth
of economy in marine engineering to
the period of the Introduction of higher
steam pressure and the development of
the compound engine. A notable con-
tributiOn on technical education is fur
nished by Professor Boulvin, of Client,
showing the importance of the me-
chanical laboratory in connection with
engineering training. Besides Mr..
Carpenters paper, there are two con-
tributions of value in connection with
works management and the handling
of men. one being Mr.. FalcOner's arti-
Gle on the factory office, and the other
Mr. Longmuir's suggestions as to the
possibilities of new trades unionism.
Mr.. Gibeons fully illustrated article on

work. and narrates the adventures of
young West Pointer who was dis
missed from the academy and went to
Honduras to make a name for himself
as a soldier with a body of revolution
lists. 1t is romantic and adventurous
in every page, and the development of
the hero from his cub" stage to a self
reliant soldier is depicted with even
more skill than Mr.. Davis has hereto
fore shown.-which means that it is a
triumph in narrative fiction. This in
stalment and all others will be illus
uated by Walter Appleton Clark. The
story will run through six numbers.
This issue contains the first of three
articles which stirringly represent the
life of fishermen of today-Off our own

chosen to write these articles. came

FORTUNES IN ELECTRICITY.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that great deal OF money
will be made within the next
few years In Great Britain
IN all sorts Of electrical undertakings.
The country Is just on the edge Of its
electrical development, but 1t is grow
ing so rapidly in this respect that the
factories cannot keep pace with IL. In
1897 the aggregate capital employed In
electrical industries was about $500 000,-
900. and this has now increased to al
most $500 900 0OO
There are, ] am told, about 1900 DIFF
