Maine Fish Planter.

A novelty of some interest has been
invented by Superintendent Floyd OF
the Sebago lake hatchery in Maine
which has proved itself extremely
practical and economical in the cost Of
transporting the two-year-old salmon
from the hatchery to points about Sc
bago lake, says the Kennebec Journal.
1t has been the custom at the hatchery
to keep as many salmon as possible
until two years old in order that they
may be able to protect themselves from
cusk and other large fish. The ordinary
fish cars were too small, holding but
few each, and 1t was expensive to thus
transport them. Superintendent Floyd
has constructed big fish car after the
style Of the old Rangeley fish cars to
be dragged after the launch. It Is fif.
teen feet long, four feet wide and three
and a half feet deep, water tight on
front and bottom, with rear end
gate. Plank wings by 8 inches bal
ance the car, which is of sufficient
buoyancy to support two men. From
this car $4,000 salmon were distributed
| one day recently. which WAS formerly
busy weeks work.

Phrase Favored For Coins by Oppo

At meeting of the Young Mems
chapter of the Lewis Avenue Congre-
gational church in New York the 9TH
er evening petition was drawn up
to be presented TO the United States
government requesting that some
phrase expressive of the nations rec
ognition Of God be placed upon its
coins. says the New York Times. The
resolution said:
I'VE second the objection Of Mr..
Roosevelt relative to the continued use
of the phrase In God We Trust on
our nations coinage. The phrase is
one which easily lends itself to ocular
ity. At the same time we deprecate
the removal OF all recognition Of God
from the coinage. Some such phrase
as God and the Republic on the coin
of the realm would satisfy the reli-
gious sentiment which is present in the
