The Eennebec county Jail has Of late
established "a record for such an inSu-
tuition, not having within its confines
at the present time, "ny so-called des-
perate prisoners, or men convicted for
serious crimes. Nearly all of the
prisoners are serving time for petty
thieyery, drunkenness or infringement
of the game laws. The men all seem
quiet and well disciplined, and a
favored few are at the present time
serving as TRUSTEES. The work shop at
the institution has been closed the past
few days. owing to the non-arrival OF
stock. The work consists of cutting
shoe stays from large strips of leather
with dies provided by the contractor
for the purpose. Whatever is left i'll

have only one alternatives; that of re-
naming in their cells behind closed
doors. A stipulated amount of work

Of the men receive from % cents to 4

Word was received from Weber
pond. yesterday. giving the details of
marine disaster which occurred ut
that popular resort, Thursday. in which
Well-knoWn Augusta gentleman who
has been the guest of Major c. f. Stur-
tevant, was the victim. The story is a
short one. for the gentleman referred
to is also short. 1t seems that he was
in a bout on the pond, and the boat
was moored to the shore by rope. He
had mold of the rope, and was trying
to pull the rope farther up toward the
shore. when his strength proved too
much for the rope, and it parted. The
only think that could happen. did hap-
pen. and in going over backward the
man who held the rope fell out of the
boat into the water. The water was
not more than two feet deep. but the
man was just as much scared as if the
water mad been five feet deep, or over
his head, and the way he scrambled ia
ms leet ana called for help was a cau-
ton. Those on the shore saw his pre-
dicament, and told him there was no
dalser. so it is said, but it was some
tl'iie before they could make him sto,,
calling Tor help and step out Of the
water.

While its volume does not attract at
tention the increase of our trade with
Japan is significant. That increase, OF
course, will show great gains when the
returns for the last fiscal year are
made, for our exports have been cnor-
mOusly increased by the war. 1t is
probable that nearly 0,00O. 900 of Jap
anesc trade has been centered in san
Francisco in the last year, or has
been carried through here and exported
on our Pacific liners. With her natur-
al expansion permitted. the foreign
trade of that empire will be greatly en-
HANGED. Especially in foOdstuffs we
may expect Il large share of the in

THE REINDEER IN ALASKA.
Possibility Of an Increase Which WIN
Create a Great Industry.
i

In 1901 DR.. Sheldon Jackson, the
Alaskan agent of the Bureau of Edu-
cation, brought over from Siberia the
first lot of reindeer, only sixteen, and
started little colony CT them on I'm
alaska. an island lying off the bleak
coast of Alaska.
At first the experiment was looked
on as rather a waste of time ana
money, but time came to the rescue,
and it was clearly proved that these
animals could be successfully import
cd and taken care Of, SO that now our
GOOD lawmakers are approprlatlng
$4,000 annually for increasing the
supply. The reindeer have taken
kindly to the native moss, which
forms their principal article Of food,
and. of course, needs no outlay for
cultivation. There is said to be
enough Of this moss in Alaska to fur
nish plenty of food for 1O,OO0,00O
reindeer.
At th,a present rate of increase,
even if no mere are imported, there
Will be at least 100000 reindeer IN
Alaska in less than twenty-five years
To 20 a step further, it will not be at
all surprising, in the opinion OF some
if this industry should grow to be
one OF considerable commercial i'm
nortance to the United States, and
= rqs even been estimated that IN
sor,o tbirtv-ive wears Alaska may be
in a position to sell annually hall a
million reindeer carcasses, besides
furnishing several thousand tons OF
hams and tongues.
Each doe may be coun:ed on TO ado
to the herd a fawn year for some
ron wears. They also furnish very
rich milk, which is sad to make eH-
cellent cheese, the quantity Of milk
averaging about a teacupful at a
/ milking.
The reliability ana endurance OF
these animals is remarkable, making
them invaluable for transportation
service. This is proved by the fact
that they have now for several years
| been used to carry the United States
mails on regular routes with the
greatest success ana in about hall
/ the time required for dog teams. They
can also be ridden with a saddle, and
travel along cCntentedly with a pack
load of $50 pounds Scientific Ameri'
can.
