Report of Fish Commission.

The Wisconsin state fish commission
held a meeting in this city recently
and listened to a report of the work
done during the year 1904 through the
efforts Of the body. Superintendent
Nevil declares that 4S,000,000 fish eggs
are now undergoing the process of
Matching in the numerous state hatch
cries and he expects that this number
will be doubled when the annual col
lection is complete. The fisheries of
the great lakes are holding their own.
More fish have been taken from the
waters of Lake Michigan from Wis
cOnsin shores during 1904 than during
the several years Immediately pro-
ceeding. Greater capital and more
men are now employed in the indus
try than was ever the case in the his
tory of the industry in the state. Re-
ports show, he says that the gasoline
launch is becoming more and more pop
ular as a fishing medium on account
of the great reduction in cost. The
commission has decided to ask for an
addition to it's appropriation to the
amount of $4,000, as the present sum
is inadequate to meet the constantly
growing demand for fish. The figures

NEW B. AND O. OFFICES.
Structure to Cost More Than a Mil
ion and a Half Dollars IN Baltimore.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
has just started the erection Of a magnificent
general Office building one Of the most promi-
nent street corners in Baltimore. 1t will be one
of the handsomest and finest buildings of its
character and size in the country, construct
ed of the best material and will cost over ST.
100000. IT is to take the place of the central
office building that was destroyed in the fire
of February and 8, 1904, which swept over
the central part Of the business quarter Of Bal
timore and caused a loss Of about 100000.
This new office building will be thirteen stories
high and win front on Baltimore-st. 159 feet
and IA feet on Charles-st., being entirely sepa-
rate from other buildings. in order to supply the
most air and light to the various floors.
The site selected for the structure is at the
hub of the city. The old building at the
northwest corner Of Baltimore and Calvert SITS.
was lacking in ground space, and was much too
small for the needs of the company. After II
was destroyed by fire President Murray real
lied the importance and advantages of the
present location, which gives plenty of space
on which to erect a building that viii meet the
requirements Of the company for many years.
The plan Of the building is in the form of an
H" with the long side in Baltimore-st. and
Strange Alley, while one opening is in Charles
ST. and the other toward the party wall in the
rear. This scheme for the plan gives maxi
mum amount of light and air TO the interior Of
the building, and is SO arranged as TO furnish
the largest possible amount of window space for
the interior Offices
There will be ten elevators, eight for the gen
eral public and the employees. one freight ele-
vator and one private elevator. All elevators
viii have a maximum speed of four hundred
feet a minute, and be supplied with a safety
lift device.
The building will be equipped with a refrig-
Grating plant for cooling water which will be
supplied in every principal room in the building.
In addition to this there will be two fountains
in the corridors of each floor. The Tefrigerating
plant viii also cool water for table in the
various dining rooms.
\ complete system of vacuum cleaning Will
be used In the building for removing dust from
floors. walls, rugs. etc, thereby adding to the
neatness of the building.

IEFLAMMABLE FLANNELETTE.

Surely the days Of infammable hannelette should

The wearing Of hannelette has again and again eX-

dresses were soaked in spirit. The fabric catches
fire as easily ana burns with the same intense
flame as alcohol, and the flames are not readily
extinguished. AN inquest held yesterday on
the body Of a little boy two years old. He was
left TO play in q room while his mother was alb
