LIKE FISH IN PENNSYLVANIA
Reports From Dealers Show Sales
Amount to Several Million
Dollars Yearly.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Returns to the
state fisheries department, under the
new law requiring reports from fisher
men and fish dealers, indicates that
the business amounts to several mil
lion dollars Q year in Pennsylvania.
State Fish Commissioner William E
Meehan. in his annual report just pre-
pared. says that as this was the first
year In which the act was Ia opera

Of the sales reported by Philadel
phia houses, 952,237 pounds, valued al
$95,742.58, came from the Delaware

marked North Carolinas. The ten con

and the most powerful airship in the
world. Its great gas-containing body.

which is far stronger and only trifle

against the 446 feet In length Of the
monster Zeppelin type of airships
The garage. which faces the sea, is
600 feet long and 100 feet broad.
Gangs of men are now busy con
structing great cradle" Upon this
the airship will rest as it is pieced to
gether. Practically every part of the
atrship is now ready, and only awaits
the assembling process. The plan has
been to distribute the making of the
various section over all departments
OF Messrs. Vickers, Sons & Maxim's
works. BY this means it has been
possible to preserve great secrecy con
cerning all important details of con
struction.
Work Is also about to commence
upon special launchway from which
the airship will take flight. It's trials
will be carried out over the sea-. It is
designed, In fact, for sea scouting. The
airship's permanent quarters will be
on the northeast coast, and it will be
called upon to cruise for days at q
stretch along the coast line and out to
sea. With this work in view, relia,
bility in stormy weather has been one
of the chief aims in the airship's con.
struction.
The method of fitting together the
sections of the airship's tremendous
hull is particularly interesting. Az
one metal section follows another in
position around the sides of the .shiI

Its remarkable size will enable the

horsepower petrol engines, which
have already been subjected to tests
for reliability, will give it a consider

In fact, that 1t will attain 45 miles an
hour under fair conditions.
It was at first intended that the
metal ribs and rigid sections Of the
hull should be built of aluminium. But
since the first plans were made the
constructors have discovered a new
metal alloy. It is said to be nearly
seven times as strong as aluminium
and only very slightly heavier.
It now seems probable that the air
ship will be ready for its preliminary
trials in June or July next-th time

for "a Hours Letter From Beebe
Plain, VT, Returns to Same
Structure.

Beebe Plain, Vt.-The queeres
postoff1ce in North America is prob
ably located here, where simple
wooden building shelters the Offices OF
two countries. The structure is cut
diagonally by the Canada line, being
almost equally divided by the imag
mary boundary The northern hall
contains the postoffice of Beebe Plain
Quebec, and the southern half the
office of Beebe Plain, Vt. They
are separated only by a ten foot
corridor, using this passageway and
the same door in common. George

the mail of the two offices. AS 9
result Of red tape in the postal
regulations regarding the transfer Of
mails. a letter mailed at the Vermont
office for the Canadian office across
the hall travels 29O miles before de
livery.
Previous to 1899 the United States
postoffice was located in dwelling
house and the Canadian office in 9
store. In neither case was the serv
ice wholly satisfactory, but 1t seemed
to be the best arrangement that could
be made. However, in 1899 the idea
was conceived of utilizing the old
store, located right on the line, for
both Offices, and finally the present
| arrangement was perfected so that
most satisfactory service has beer
provided
Patrons of the double postoffice can

A letter posted at Beebe Plain, vt.
for Beebe Plain. Canada, will go south

Beebe Junction, VT, to White River
Junction, Ill miles on the same route
and then continues its way to Sher
brooke, P. O., "a miles farther. There
1t is again transferred and returns to
Beebe Plain, P. @.
That is, after having ride of "a
hours and going 29O miles it arrives
at It's destination ten feet from where
1t started.
Or perhaps it goes on another train
south on the Boston & Maine to
Wells River, VT, 80 miles. There 1t
is transferred and goes back via
Beebe Junction to Sherbrooke, P. O.,
ia miles, to be transferred again,
and returns to the building it started
from 80 hours before. It has trav.
eled 228 miles.
The village has population of
about 100 on the the Vermont side
and about 600 on the Canada side.
All of the places of business are on
the Canada side. SO most of the pa
irons Of the Office are Canadians, but
they are very willing to avail them
selves of the unique arrangement and
use either office that will give the
best results.
