Success has been met by the bu-
reau of fisheries in establishing hump
back salmon on the Maine coast, &C.
cording to reports from that terri
tory. The fish were planted in Tebru-
ary, 1914. Many fish weighing five
to seven and half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river, Ma.
and twenty were captured alive by
agents OF the bureau near Bangor and
held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs.
From two of these fish 5000 eggs were
taken September 6, and, after fertili-
cation. sent to the Craig Brook hatch
cry for incubation. Local fishermen
caught and ate large numbers, and an
employee of the Green Lake hatchery
took fifteen fish last week. These had
passed through the fishways in dams
in Dennys river and were dropping
down stream in a spent condition; at
the same time both live and dead fish
were observed below the dams.

December 10, 1913, during the battle Of

While they were in possession of this

the officers had umbrellas up to pro-

Gov. Hunt Appoints Commission.

The Panama-P Pacific Interna- tional Exposition. has advanced a plan whereby the Governor of each state is to appoint com mittee of citizens to consider the qualifications and records of their different fellow residents of prominence with a view to designating some one pre- emin- ent in StateSmanShip, literature, art, science, invention or other form of achievement upon whom especial honor will be conferred by the Exposition Committee, through the setting aside of a specisl day on their calendar for the presentation of suitable diploma or other testimonial.
 To carry out this plan and for the purpose of designating some resident of Arizona worthy of being thus honored by the ex- positions award, Governor Hunt has appointed a commission con- sisting of the following citizens of Arizona, viz: Senator Fran ces w. Munds. Prescott; Mrs. J. D. Lee, Thatcher; Miss c. Luoise Boehringer, Yuma; w. S. Brad ford, Phoenix; George Powell, Globe; Hon. J. R. Henderson, Bisbee; Will l.. Clark, Clark dale; Rev. William J. Scarlett, Phoenix; Prof G. B. Cornelius, Winslow; Sam Barrett. Phoenix; R. G. Brady. Tucson, and Judge Frank J. Duffy, Nogales.
 A meeting of the committee will be held in Phoenix in the near future, probably on Sep tember 30.
 Any suggestions from citizens of Arizona will be gladly receiv- ed by the commission appointed by Governor Hunt.

ELIAS SHOT EIGHT TIMES.

Later developments in the killing of Tomas Elias, Jr., mar ried just two days to Mrs. ChaS. Proctor, at the Proctor ranch at Sopori, forty five miles south west of Tucson, indicate that there might be as many as three persons implicated in the kill ing, instead of one as maintain ed by George Proctor, who gave himself up to Santa Cruz county authorities and is in jail at No gales, says Wednesdays Tucson Star.
 In preparing the body for burial, it was found that Tomas had been shot at least eight times, instead of five as first re- ported, and that he had been shot three times at least through the chest There seemed to be three sizes of bullets and among the bullets found were two 3S's and several 32-2O'S.
 The investigation made by Simpson seems to show that the men who attacked Elias entered an empty house in the early morning about quarter of a mile from the ranch house where Elias and his bride were staying, and when Elias went to the house about 8 o'clock and enter ed the back door they opened fire on him while he was picking up some horseshoes. George went to AmadO and telephoned to Sheriff Mcknight, giving him. self up, and took the blame for the shooting, stating that there were no others present besides himself and Elias.
 The younger brother of Geo. who came from the ranch to Tue son Monday, and met his two brothers, who had been to visit their uncle, Henry Proctor, near Rillito, is still in the county jail, but will be sent to Nogales to- day. Charles Proctor, the elder son, will probably accompany him. There was some confusion as to the names of the brothers, and the, young lad who was ar rested says that his name is Frank and not Henry. Henry is said to be the name of a third brother. He was with Charles at the time of the killing.

Maryland's Income And OutQo.

A comparison of the report of the Comp
troller of the Treasury of Maryland for the
year ending September 80, 1914, with that
ofl9O4 shows that great changes have come
to pass in ten years. In 1904 the direct tax
upon property was % l-2 cents, the levy
amounting to $l.53l.673,54. Ten years
later the tax increased to 81 cents and the
levy was So, $50, 837.89. The public school
tax in 1904 yielded $3.50 .477.85: in 1914
it yielded $l.654,548. In 1904 Baltimore
paid for the county schools $4,000; in
1914 her contribution was $316, 900. In
1904 the assessed value of the property of
the State for State taxation was $780,
743,794. In 1914 it was $1.026, 076,7 35.
The ordinary receipts into the treasury
from which the cost of government and
appropriations to institutions, etc, are paid
were about $4,000. 900 in 1914 about the
same. Total disbursements in 1904, in
Guiding interest and sinking fund for the
public debt, were $4,078.0l015. In 1914
they were $12.999. 96219. In these fig
ures, however, the actual condition is not
accurately shown. for in the amount for
1914 are contained several loans and the
repayment of 1864. 1929 to the city of Bal
timore. collected from the liquor licenses in
the city
In 1904 the public debt had increased
largely over the previous year. But the
gross debt was then $7,926,92613 and
the net debt $3,142. 869.13. In 1914 the
gross debt had increased to $l9, 885 $780,
35 and the net debt to $l2,2l9, 576.Ol.
The expenses of the State government
have nearly doubled in ten years, while
appropriations to private schools and c..ari-
ties have been greatly enlarged. The in
crease in the appropriations for charitable
institutions has been $450,000 over those
of ten years ago. II is apparent from
these figures how such misadventure rs

report the general nature of wireless tr& as
mission, indicating its relationship to wire
transmission.
He also shows why the wireless energy
sent out follows the curvature of the earth.
and explains other features, presenting
a mental picture of the work such as any
one reasonably well informed in electricity
can comprehend.
lie describes an enrly experiment bear
ing upon the transmission of energy with
out wires, performed by Prof Z. j. Hous-
ton and himself in 1875. While these
early investigators realized at the time
that they had perhaps discovered the germ
of system of signaling through space.
their early experiment was forgotten until
recalled later by the work of Hertz. in
about 1887, when he demonstrated by
electrical apparatus that waves of the
general nature of heat and light could be
generated and transmitted with the velocity
of light, 10000 miles per second. and
that by suitable resonators and detectors
these waves could be made to declare
themselves by tiny sparks.
The general result of the Hertzian ex-
pertinent was to connect electrical waves
with heat and light waves, proving the
difference of the two kinds of radiations to
be simply that of length or pitch.
The author gives description of an ordi-
nary wire transmission with direct current.
showing how the wire itself is a sort of
guiding center or core about which the
ether disturbance carrying the energy
exists, making the wire system really

wire as guiding core.
