STATE EDITORS
HAD OYSTERS
Advocate OF Oyster Culture And Good
Roads Makes A Speech To The Men,
bers OF The Maryland Press.

Mr. Il. Howard Haman Tuesday ad-
dressed the editors of county papers in
behalf of oyster culture and good roads.
So thoroughly in earnest is Mr.. Haman
and so great is his desire to revive a
waning industry and to improve the pub
lie highways that he expressed willing
ness to eliminate his name, if in the
opinion of any body of influential men
his name was an obstacle to the passage
of his Oyster Culture Bill. He added
that he was far more interested in the
progress of Maryland than he was in
his personal glorification.
The county editors heard Mr.. Haman
express his views at the Hotel Rennert.
and after hearing all about oysters they
adjourned to private dining room
where an oyster dinner was served.
Mr.. Joseph NJ. Street. president of
the Maryland Democratic Editorial
the members of the Maryland Republ-
can press to attend, but few of the Re-
publican editors responded.
editors Mr.. Paul Winchester offered a
resolution, which was adopted, indors-
ing Mr.. Street for election as State In
SuIdilct COMMISSIONER UN tne DOdfu Oh
Public Works. A committee was also
appointed to draft resolutions on the
death of Mr.. Eugene F. Wathen, at
Annapolis, on election night Mr..
Wathen was member of the associa-
tion.
While Mr.. Haman was explaining his
oyster culture bill and appealing for
good roads Governor Warfield arrived,
escorted by Col. John w. Avirett. of
Cumberland. The Governor had been
invited to be present.
Mr.. Haman first delivered a speech,
in which he made plea for better
roads, and in which he showed how
roads could be improved by using funds
derived from rental of the Bay bottoms.
He was then asked several questions, to
which he gave prompt answers. The
association did not formally endorse his
bill, since such action was not contem-
plated but the views expressed indi-
Gated that the county editors are heartily
in favor of oyster culture andgood roads.

Counties Of Maryland.

The absence of adequate information
as to the origin of the counties of Mary
land was discussed Monday night before
the Maryland Historical Society by DIR.
Edward b. Mathews. of the Maryland
Geological Survey. He lectured on
"The Counties Of Maryland;Their Origin
and Boundaries.
DIR. Mathews affirmed that the first
few counties We're established by per-
sonal agreement between residents and
the Lord Proprietary. Later came the
Legislative enactments, and later still
the establishment of divisions of the
State by constitutional convention.
A fact which he brought out strongly
was that there is no existing record. or
none that he could find, which tells of
the establishment of Baltimore county.
He found several references to it about
1859, and then the county extended
eastward TO the Delaware river and
went down the Eastern Shore as far as
Chestertown.
The controversy between William
Penn and the Lords Baltimore was
touched on. DIR. Matthews declared
that before William Penn got his grant
in 1851 the Maryland counties took steps
to encourage settlements on the coast
line. There was Durham county.
about 1879, which included the site of
Wilmington. Del.

URGES OYSTER
PLANTING LAW
Senator Moore Wants Action By The
Legislature Says Haman Bill IL Along
Right Lines.

The Baltimore Sun of Thursday con-
tains the following regarding Senator
John p. Moore:
State Senator John p. Moore, of Wor-
cester county, who was reelected Nov
ember z. was at the Belvedere last
night. When asked about reports that
he is candidate for President of the
Senate he replied in his usual direct
manner:
81 am candidate for the presidency
of the Senate. While it is true that |
have written to my fellow Senators ex-
pressing my desire to preside over that
body ! want it distinctly understood
that do not propose to enter into a
scramble for the position. am great
ly gratified at the assurance of support
which have received from the Sena-
tors-elect as well as those who hold
over. In addition to these expressions
of good will have been greatly pleased
to find that many of my friends through
out the State have taken kindly to my
candidacy.
''If should be fortunate enough to
be selected to preside over the Senate
my sole aim will be to preside with
credit to my State and with dignity to
myself. will introduce my daily Gus
tom in exercising the duties of the
office, that is, to pay strict attention to
the business which shall come before
the Senate.
''The session of the Legislature should
be business session, pure and simple.
There are many entanglements which
at previous sessions have had tendency
to distract the attention of both Houses.
This time there are no United States
Senatorship struggles, and. indeed, there
are few, if any, distracting measures
to come up.
The one overshadowing bill which
the Legislature will have to consider
will be measure to protect and foster
the planting of oysters in Maryland.
recognize the Importance of such legis-
lation. have not been opposed to the
Haman bill and believe that such a
measure should be enacted into law.
The difficulty at the previous sessions of
the Legislature has been that this bill
has been loaded up in both Houses with
amendments. which practically nullified
its effect and which, no doubt, were
tackled on to the measure for the pur-
pose of defeating it, In the main be-
lieve the bill is proper and should be
passed at the coming session"
Senator Moore spoke about the ne
cessity of oyster planting and seemed
greatly impressed with the necessity Of
such law.

LIQUID that Defies Time.

The Hungarian chemist Brunn says
he has discovered a liquid chemical
compound which renders certain kinds
Of matter proof against the effects of
time. He asserts that it doubles the
density Of nearly every kind of stone
and renders it waterproof. It imparts
to all metals qualities which defy oxy.
gen and rust. 1t is also a germicide
Of hitherto uneQualed powers. The
professor says that while travelling in
Greece some twenty-five years ago he
noticed that the mortar in stones and
ruins which were known to be over
1000 years old, was as hard, fresh and
tenacious as IL it had been made only
yer. He secured a piece of the NOR
tar and has been working on it ever
since until now, when, he says. he has
discovered the secret.
The compound is yellow liquid.
which the professor has christened
Eorene. He describes the following ex.
per1ments: A piece of ordinary and
easily breakable Stag after immersion
In Zorene defled the full blow Of a
hammer. There was the same effect
on ordinary bricks and block Of red
jarrah wood. All three were then i'm
mersed in water for long time. When
taken out and weighed with delicate
scales the presence Of single particle
Of added moisture could not be de-
tected. Two pieces of steel submitted
to an ammonia test equal to five years
exposure to the air emerged from the
bath as they entered it.
An ordinary table knife which had
lain open five months did not show tbs
slightest stain. Professor Brunn as.
serts that he will be able to make roads
dust, germ and waterproof, thus CIV
ing commercial value to hundreds
Of millions of tons of Stag which is now
useless in the mining and smelling
districts. dis discovery will at the
very least, he says, double the life OF
metals exposed to the air, such as In
bridges, railroads, vessels aid tanks.
