is now building a car to carry A passen-
gers. 1t is designed to travel at any
speed up to 60 miles an hour and will run
five miles on one gallon of kerosene.
Kerosene, gasolene or fuel oil may be
used but the power is furnished by steam.
The boiler will hold enough water to go
all day without refilling. and this is only
little water, for the same principles as
in the Stanley automobile engine is used.
the original steam being again condensed
to water for future use. The steam goes
back into a small condenser and from
there back into the boiler as water. 1t Is
practically the same power plant as is
used in the car except that it is double
the size.
The first car is to go to Vermont for U.S.
on the Burlington line in June. II will be
great novelty. The experiments have
been closely watched by officials of the
Boston Maine, New York, New Haven
and Hartford. Old Colony and Great
Northern Railway lines, and one of the
companies has agreed to take the first
1900 cars made if the one building proves
to be what is expected by the builders
and what is expected for it by the rail-
road men. All the other companies are
anxious to put the cars on their line. II
the result is a success, the engines Of Mr.
Stanley will revolutionize the street rail-
way and railroad business. Old coal
burning engines and electric power plants
can be done away with and great expense
will be saved. The engine would be es-
pecially seryiCeable in many parts of the
country where the water is very hard. 1t
will result in much smaller consumption
of coal.
Mr. Stanley has had a long experience
as a builder of steam engines and has
been most successful. He is enthusiastic
over the prospect, not like a young uneX-
perienced inventor, but as conserva-
tive and successful bushes man.
Mr. Stanley says, fer his engine kerosene
is better than gasolene, for it contains
16 % per cent. more heat units to the
gallon. Even if the price of gasoline and
Kerosene were the same, kerosene would
be preferred for fuel
Mr.. Stanley has recently offered the l..
S. government the free use of his patents
for naval purposes. as they may be used
extensively. He was in Washington not
long since in consultation with depart
ment heads, and the government is con-
sidering his offer

GREEN LAKE HATCHERY.
Assignments Of Trout Fry to Ponds in
This Vicinity.
ellsworth American, May 1o.)

At the government fish hatchery at
Green Lake, Superintendent E. E. Race
and his crew have been busy the past
week taking smelt eggs. for which there
is a large and growing demand. The
number of these eggs taken runs we'll vi
into the millions. Most of these are
shipped as eggs, but a few million are
Matched at the Green Lake station.
The planting Of fry of the humpback
salmon from eggs received from the Pa
citic coast is completed for the year.
Among the plants made in Maine rivers
are the following: st. CroX and East
Machias rivers, about 10000 each; Pen
nanaquan and rennys rivers, about 50o.-
000 each: Union river, about 100000, and
st. George river about 100000
The land-locked salmon and trout have
been late in developing this year, owing
to cold water from the late SHOWS. The
trout are now in the feeding stage, and
planting will soon begin. Among the as
.signments of trout fry for this section
are the following: Branch pond $4,000;
Branch pond stream, 5000; Patterns
pond, $4,000; Grand lake. 125,oOo; Phillips
lake. $4,000. About $4,000 will be shippe /
to other sections of the State. A plant OF
$1,000 lake trout will also be made in
Grand lake.
The hatchery has about $4,000 land
locked SALMON to plant. and 100000 to be
shipped A plant of 100000 will be made
in Green lake, of which about 5000 will be
of Fish River lake stock, the idea being
the Improvement of the Green lake stock
by the infusion of new blood. The hatch
cry expects to hold a large number OF
salmon for planting as fingerlings.

A BEAR STORY FROM
NORTHERN MAINE WOODS

At the session Of the Tall Stove Club.
Wednesday evening, lumberman from
South Brook near Patten Maine, said
that while numbering there last win
ter William Allan of Patten, who bv
the way has captured the past year
% bears, ran across mother bruin
and two young cubs in the woods and
all hands were greatly surprised, as the
meeting was. accidental and sudden.
Mother Bruin at once told her chill
dren to climb tree which they did.
Allan shot the old bear with pistol
and then climbed the tree and cap
tured the cubs, taking them under his
arm back to camp. One of the little
fellows was later sold for $50. That
night a big bear. probably the father
Bruin, came to camp in search of the
cubs and tore down a pen before he
was driven to the woods. One night
another big bear came to make
friendly visit to the lumbermen who
were sleeping in a tent. He was driv-
en- away, but at midnight he returned
and walked in. awakening the men who
jumped out of their beds in a hurry
and the bear was so alarmed that he
left by the side instead of the door of
the tent. taking the entire canvas
outfit with him part of the way Then
the men built hut, as the bears were
too plenty. and too neighborly in South
Brook for them. The little cubs first
mentioned above were brought UP on
condensed milk, and when one Of them
had finished sucking the milk through
a hole bored in the can and the can
was empty. the bear pup would use it
as a baseball and mischievously throw
it at the nearest man.
