A PETITION FOR
r. 0 AD FROM shin
POND TO MATAGAMM0N

Bangor, Me, Aug. 4.-B. L. Smith of
Patten, a we'll known attorney of nor
thern Penobscot county, was before
the county commissioners Tuesday
morning, presenting petition from
the residents Of Patten asking that
the board lay out county highway
from Shin pond to backgammon post
office. The road, as petitioned for,
commences near the southwest corner
travelled way. running thence in a
general northwesterly way to the west
line of T 6 r I, thence southwest in
r to Backgammon postoffice, the
way being substantially the same as
is now travelled.
This road is through wild lands and
under the statutes the wild land own
ers are required to pay the cost up to
a stipulated amount.
In this instance, however, the last
Legislature passed a resolve in favor
of the Shin Pond road, in which it
was provided that if the county would
raise $1,000 and provide materials the
State would appropriate $1,000 for the
road. it being up to the county to be
liable for up to $500 annually for main
tenance.
The county commissioners have new
er agreed to the stipulation as laid
down in the resolve passed by the
Legislature. and are unanimous against
laying out the road under that ar
rangement, which they claim would
prevent them from assessing any of
the cost against the land owners.

Doctors Put Bad Specs on Monkeys to

Baltimore, Dec 1.-Two monkeys at
Johns Hopkins Hospital are being fit
ted with eyeglasses in an effort to dis.
cover cure for various diseases of
the human eye.
The glasses will entail a severe
strain on the eyes, causing imperfect
vision, and in other ways will confuse
the recording nerves of the eyeball.
The direct result expected is serious
reaction Of the thyroid glands of the
monkeys, with a development OF dis
eases found in human beings to have
their origin in the thyroid gland. Prin-
cipal among these are goitre, nervous
ness, palpitation of the heart pro,
truding eyeballs, and scrofula, mild
