New smokeIess Fuel.

The new smokeless fuel of Sherard
Cowper-Coles is made by mixing one
part by weight of wet peat with two
parts of bituminous coal and heating
in a retort five hours at about $50 de-
grees F. The temperature. aided by
the steam from the peat, is just suffi.
cient to drive off the hydrocarbons
that produce smoke. The coal binds
the peat into a coherent mass and
this fuel has high calorif1c value, ig-
hitting readily in an ordinary CRATE
and burning economically and with
out smoke. The tar and other prod
ucts distilled over in the watery ex-
tract may be condensed into a supe-
rior pitch, while the gases may be
burned to supply the heat required By
the process.

He accompanied Herman c. Bumpus
the director OF this expedition for ar
chaelogical researches in Mexico. With
Mr.. Chapman in his ascent of the
mountain will be two companions

and one OF the perpetrators of the mu-
SCUM.
The three will gather specimens of
BIRDS portions of earth, rock and vege-
tation ard all things needed for rep
resentation of the conditions at various
attitudes The skins of the birds which
arc OBTAINED will be mounted so as to
show them in their habitation. There
is not in aIl nature more contradicto-
nv series of bird life than is to be found
on the Mexican mountain. which is s.
miles from Vera Cruz and in sight OF
the Gnlf OF Mexico.
It might be called complete he,nis-
phere. At its base is a tropic te,npera-
ture. and amid the palms and the cac-
tus and the rank vegetation are found
birds of rich pIumage. Then. as the
traveller ascends, he reaches the pine
and the oaks Of the temperate zone. in
the branches Of which the birds of this
northern cline build their nests. The
timber line is passed at $4,000 feet, and
the remainder Of the s1,S25 feet is sim
liar to the Arctic regions. in which Mr..
CHAPMAN will obtain feathered deni-
zers such as one would expect to find
near the pole.
OriZaba is regarded as next to Mt.
McKinlev. the highest peak on the
North American continent. Like the
great height in Alaska, its top is
crowned by perpetual SHOWS. The first
ascent of it was made in 184S by two
American army officers. 1t is expected
that several months will be spent In
the gathering OF material. and that the
resulting bird group will surpass any
thing Of the kind which has yet been
gathered.
Mr.. Bumpus will spend five weeks in
Mexico, in which he will visit some OF

Present law Frequently Criticized
Outside Of the State.

Portland. Me-, March 2.-The special
joint, committee created by the last
Legislature to consider the advisability
of changing the present laws relating
to the organization of corporations,
held at the county court house today
its first public hearing on the ques-
ton. Senator Edward w. Wheeler OF
Brunswick is chairman of the com
mittee and the other members are
Senator E. F. Gowell of Berwick, Rep
resentatives Frank d. Marshall OF
Portland, Andrew p. Havey OF Sulli-
van and John a. Peters of Ellsworth.
The resolve creating the commit
tee was based upon portion of Gov
erner Fernald's inaugural address in
which he said: Il suggest to your
consideration a reform in our corpor-
alton laws. While it Is true that the
state is receiving large revenues from
this source, it is also true that, in a
considerable measure. ii is the price
Of prostitution. Much OF the scandal
connected with corporations is made
possible by such loose corporation laws
as we have in Maine. hope you will
take steps to remodel them along
evident lines of reform. thus restoring
to Maine her self-respect"
President William Dewitt Hyde of
Bowdoin College spoke at some length,
stating that the corporation laws arc
deficient in several particulars and
that, as he goes about outside the
State. lie hears them referred to never
with respect and honor. and often with
severe criticism and dishonor.' He
suggested that four changes might be
INCORPORATED in the laws: Requiring
that 10 per cent. of the capital stock
be paid in; that company be required
to do business within one year from
the date of it's incorporation: return
to the Stockholders and to the state
of adequate reports: and power to is
sue stock in return for property and
service he regulated and legitimate
value determined.
Some exceptions were taken to these
recommendations. some expressing the
belief that the passage of such
changes would iniurc the State in the
eyes of corporations seeking charters
and thus drive away business: While
such changes might also work to the
injury of the stockholders.
Governor Fernald sent word that tic
would be unable to attend.
