REPORTED THAT JUDGE CHASE
MAY YET Be COMMISSIONER.

From those close TO the aduinistfa-
ton it is understood that if Governor
Haines will again nominate Judge Ed
ward e. Chase of Bluehill to the posi-
ton of Commissioner of sea and siore
fisheries the Council will confirm the
appointment without opposition. Il IS
said that the Governor Is willing to
come his half of the way toward ad-
justment of any alleged difficulties and
that the nomination for the second
time within three weeks is likely.
Rumor has it that the Council las
felt it may have been mistaken in its
position and is DESTROYS Of making Any
amends possible.
AT the time OF the nomination Gov
ernor Haines announced that he he
Heved Judge Chase to be the man VINO
would enforce all laws within his
province. Judge Chase served On Guv-
ernor Hills Council with Governor
Haines and the present Governor grew
to hold great friendship and respect
for his brother member.
Judge Chase has long been pfomi-
nent in the Republican party. He has
served on the board Of trustees of the
Maine Insane hospital judge Of the
court of Western Hancock.
and judge of probate FOR Hancock
county.
Opposition being manifested for
certain quarters of the State and ru-
mors being current To The effect that
existed in the Council.
Judge Chase withdrew soon after his
to save any embarrassment
to the administration.
Shortly after Judge Chases name
was withdrawn, James Donahue of
Rnekland, the present commissioner Of
sea and shore fisheries, sent in his res
ignaiion to Gov. Haines.

Killing Rats in Havana.

Under the direction of Dr. Juan
Guiteras director of public health of
Cuba, there has been much killing OF
rats to prevent the spread of bubonic
plague. There are no cases in Cuba
at present. Ultimately all the
wharves will be made rat proof by the
use of concrete instead of wood. In
the work Of killing rats in the city
an average of $4,000 a month is spent.
The importance of having the wharves
rat proof is due to the fact that the
rats frequently get aboard vessels
bound Tor the United States and 9TH
ef countries and are likely TO carry
the plague over the seas. All the
cafes of the city are required to
destroy their refuse Immediately and.
according to the report, little trouble
Is now being experienced in enforcing
this regulation. While there are still
many rats in Havana, the number of
lilies is SMALL 1t is expected that the
result of the anti-rat crusade will be
a water front of all concrete wharyes
in few years. The quarantine
against Porto Rico was lifted Dec 80.

The brown creeper is one OF the tree
climbers that has some of the charac-
teristics of the woodpsckers, but whose
bill is too slender for boring in the
lark, hence Ills work is confined to the
destruction Of bark-lice and other sur
face insects. They are busy little bodies
and throughout the day are running
spirally up tie trunks in search Of in
sects' eggs and small insects in the
creyices of the bark, The eggs of in
seets are SO small that they escape
the eye of man, but the more micro
scopic eyes of these small birds easily

Cremation in Europe.

The progress of cremation as a
method of disposing of the dead Il
being extended throughout Europe
fhere are at present thirty Gre
matoriums in Germany, as against
twenty-five in 1910 and in 1911 there
we're 1866 cremations. This is an in
'rease of about 1900 over 1910. Only
ecently the Prussian Diet made law
permitting cremations.
In Italy there are almost as many
rematoriums as in Germany and in
his connection it is interesting tc
tote that more than 1000 bodies Of
'ersaglieri and Arabs We're cremated
iuring the Tripolitan war. In Eng
and there We're 1923 cremations in
1911, as compared with $40 in 1910
But probably the greatest progress has
been made in Switzerland, where a re-
cent law practically makes cremation
he rule and interment the exception
Japan has long had cremation as 4
method of disposing of the dead and
the practise is spreading more rapidly
man IN Europe, says an exchange.
The number of cremations in Japan in
1909 was 100000, as compared with
10000 interments.

The universities.


Statistics lately compiled indicate that
Europe has now 125 universities, with a
total student body of about 10000. Next
to Paris and Berlin come, in point of at
tendance, Budapest Vienna, Moscow,
Madrid, Naples and St Petersburg.
The cost of maintaining the nine uni
versities of Prussia has increased, from
1860 to within the last decade, from So
100000 to 100000 for regular expenses.
In addition, new buildings and the like
have cost $20,O00,000 Berlin alone requiring
nearly 100000
Berlin is rapidly becoming for Germany
what Paris is for France-the oyerwhelm-
ms center of university life. In addition
to its 5000 matriculated students, about
ZOO others are permitted to attend lee
lures, making total of only 1000 less
than for Paris.
In general, the universities in the large
centers OF population increasingly attract
the greatest number of students In Ger
many. Munich. Leipsic and Bonn show
the larger figures, while the smaller unit

growth.
