BROWNS TO ENLARGE.
Rush of Work Requires more Room
Pleasure Yachts.

At the shipyard of A. @. Brown &
Son, a great rush of work is expected
this winter. The firm has such an
amount of work that they find the
yard is not large enough. Workmen
VIII soon commence to extend the
plant. The saw mill will be made
twice as large as it is at present. The
railway will be repaired and many
other improvements will be made.
Many of the pleasure crafts which are
now at the yard will be generally
overhauled, and painted, then leave
for southern waters where they will
spend the winter. The big sloop
yacht owned by James Callahan, of
New York, and the fishing schooner
yacht Emma B. will put up at the
yard for the winter months.

comic selections, and a violin solo,
was ably rendered by Herman Neder-
burg, accompanied on the piano by
Miss Johnston.
Mr.. Nederburg measured each guest,
who paid two cents for every foot and
a cent extra for every inch in height
they had reached. This caused a.
great deal of merriment.
The latter part of the evening was.
spent in playing the interesting game.

and lemonade were ed at a late
hour. 1t was the most successful

TRAPS SET FOR ANGLERS.
Singular and Unexpected Method of
Enforcing the Game Laws in
New Hampshire.

A young New York fisherman who
went into northern New Hampshire tC
try his luck early last summer ran
across a new way of enforcing game
laws. The New Hampshire statutes
make it an offense to nave in ones pos
session a trout under six inches in
length. but the New Yorker didn't know
this, says the Sun.
He was returning by train from a good
days sport, when the conductor, after
taking up his ticket, strOlled back and
started a conversation. He asked the
fisherman what luck he'd had, and finally
asked to see the catch.
The conductor Looked long and care
fully Al the fish. Finally he said:
young man, I'm a game warden OF
this state, an some O. them fish are
under size. I'll have to Measure them.
And measure them he did, finding that
five were under length. 1t cost the young
ster S25 and costs to settle the bill with
the state, and a part of that sum went
TO the game warden conductor.
The fisherman didn't know the trick
of the native. who, when he hauls out a
trout that's under length, cuts OIL the
tail and defies the warden to tell how
long it was when caught.

Tidal power has met with little ia
vor. on account of its inconvenience
and cost. 1t is directly available only
two short periods daily, and the ordi-
nary working head is so small-not
more than six feet-that great expense
is necessary to provide storage ponds
of suitable capacity. An engineering
writer points out that a few places of
fer conditions that may make this
power profitable. The most conspicu-
Il example is the Bay of Fundy.
where the tides run normally 40
feet high, and fill a natural reservoir
of 400 square miles through a channel
less than three miles wide. The dam
ming of this channel should yield
more than 200. 00O, 900 horse power
daily. The utilization of this power
may be accomplished at some future
time. but the engineering feat will be
vastly greater than anything yet at

THE POWER OF RADIUM.
An Ounce Would Drive a
Power Motor Car Around
the World.

The consular reports published by

from the Anglo-Indian Review, land in

the possible future applications Of
radiqm. The report says:
THE area where success is practical
ly assured is at present not very large,
but in the medical field it is already
fairly extensive. In the working of X

achieved in the treatment of cancer and
blindness we nave every hope for great

tied supply of radium available, but it
is stated that a small fraction of an
ounce, properly employed, would prob
ably provide a good light sufficient for
several rooms and would not require re-

has been calculated that the energy
stored up in n gram of radium is suf-
fcent to raise 500 tons weight a mile

Saint Nafg S Beacon.


One OF the most eloquent tributes
ever paid to tie dog was delivered
by Senator Vest. Of Missouri, some
years ago. He was attending court
in a country town, and while wait
ing for the trial OF case in which
he was interested was urged by the
attorneys in dog case TO helpthem.
Voluminous evidence was introduc-
ed to show that the defendant had
shot the dog in malice, while other
evidence went TO show that the dog
had attacked defendant. Vest took
no part in the trial and was not dis
posed to speak. The attorneys,
however, urged him TO speak. Be
ing thus urged, he arose, scanned
the face of each iuryman for a mo-
ment, and said:
Gentlemen Of the Jury-The
best friend q man has in the world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest TO US,
those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name, may be-
come traitors to their faith. The
money that q man has he may lose.
II flies away from him, perhaps
when he needs it most. A man S
reputation may be sacrificed in a
moment of ill-considered action.
The people who are prone TO fall
on their knees to do us honor when
success is with US may be the first
TO throw the stone of malice when
failure settles its cloud upon our
heads.
''The one absolutely unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is
his dog. A man s dog stands by
him in prosperity and in poverty,
in health and in sickness. He will
sleep ON the cold ground, where the
wintry winds blow and the snow
drives fiercely, If only he may be
near his masters side He will
kiss the hand that has no food tC
offer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter with
the roughness of the world. &c
guards the sleep Of his pauper mas
ter as If he were u prince. WheT
all other friends desert he remains
When riches take wings and repu
tation falls to pieces he is as con
slant in his love as the sun in It's
journeys through the heavens.
IF fortune drives the master
forth an outcast in the world, friend
less and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than thai
of accompanying him, to guard
against danger, to fight against enc
mics, and when death takes the mas
ter in its embrace, and his body is
laid away in the cold ground, nc
matter if all other friends pursue
their way, there by the graveside
will the noble dog be found, his
head between his paws, his eyes
sad but open in alert watchfulness,
faithful and true even in death.
Then Vest sat down. He had
spoken in a low voice, without q
gesture. He made no reference to
the evidence or the merits of the
case. When he finished Judge and
jury, was wiping their eyes. The
jury fled out, but soon entered with
q verdict of $500 for the plaintiff,
whose dog was shot, and it was said
that some of the jurors wanted to
hang the defendant.
