REVIVAL OF SHIPBUILDINa
BY n. n. Windsor, in the Septembsr
Popular Mechanics Magazine

After the book had apparently
closed on the last chapter. and scora
of barnacle-covered hulls had lazily
rubbed for years at still more neg.
lected docks, Old Neptune raises his
trident, and deserted shipyards spring
to life. The old hulls are repaired,
spars and rigging spring into place,
new sails and fresh paint restors
what seemed a useless derelict to q
thing of beauty and profit. All along
the Atlantic coast this transformat!cs
is going on, for these rejuvenated
craft pay for themselves often with
their first cargo. If ships have souls,
as poets say. what a thrill Of Joy mus.
culver through each timber as, with
every stitch of canvas set, they head
out to sea once more.
Maine has been a noted shipbuildlns
state; a century ago 1t was her great
industry: thousands of men fashioned
the craft which flew the Stars and
Stripes on every sea and ocean. Fl"
years ago the oldest shipbuilder In
the state admitted the industry was
practically dead. One year ago tho
shipyards were deserted, and rapidly
becoming a mass of rotting tinber
and junk. Today an army OF. men arc
working to restore these yards. ana

three and five-masters are taking

the stocks, or in process Of prepara'

And the prospects are that this ~
vival is not to be short-lived, for tner'
is a great scarcity Of ships throusnou'

REARING LOBSTER FRY.
Station to be Located in Local Hatch
ery's Pound at Pemaquid.
(Boothbay Register, Aug. 11)


Capt. E. E. Hahn. Superintendent Of
vthe u. S. Fish Hatchery on McKown
Point, returned early this week from a
short visit to Wexford, r. l., where he
investigated the work of the lobster
hatchery and the experiments carried
on by a small rearing station there.
Their method is to segregate a small
number of lobster fry in a compart-
ment. each compartment having fry
Matched out at the same time. Thus
the tendency Of larger and older lob
sters to eat off the younger and weak
er is overcome. The result of the eX-
pertinent seems successful and the To-
cal rearing station is likely to be mod :
eled on something the same lines. OF
course the coming local rearing station
will be immensely larger. being the
only large rearing station in the coun-
try.
Capt. Hahn says the government In
tends at first to locate it's rearing sta
ton in the lobster pound in the ST.
Johns River at Pemaquid. The sta
ton will be arranged in units or Sec
tions, so that If some other place Is
later found to be better qualified to
give rearing quarters for the fry they
may be moved there. Not all the ap-
Ipropriation Of the government Is like
ly to be used right away, for this rea-
son. The proposed rearing station is
much in the nature of an experiment.
being the first one of any size to be
constructed The fisheries experts are
fully expecting to have successful re-
suits which will mean more appropria-
tions and more rearing stations.
Heretofore the local and other hatch
cries have been Matching out millions
of eggs and the fry after a few days
in the hatchery has had to be liberated
into the open sea. 1t is thought that
many Of them are caught and devoure1
by the fnny fish while on their way to
the bottom and that the bottom fish.
especially the large Holsters. kill them
off when they arrive on the ocean
! floor Then the fry of every age are
mingling together and the cannibalis-
tic qualities of the lobster are well
known.
The segrega ting of fry hatched one
day in a section of the rearing plant
where no other fish can get at them
chance, but they are sure to find each
other good eating to some extent Not
all Of them will come to be hard shell
Holsters, it is feared. but the govern
ment hopes and expects a greater pro-
portion Of them will come to age and
size, so that they may be cast adrift to
look out for themselves.
Then. too the new rearing plant will
give the hatchery officials fine chance
to observe results, which If not sue
cessful even, may yet bring about
changes in plans and methods that
will insure final success. The govern
ment appropriation is $1,000. Local
people will be given an opportunity to
bid on the work of construction Of the
plant which will be built this year
Capt. Hahn is to make rough draw
ings right away and outline the re-
quirements and specifications and
these are to be drawn up into working
blueprints by the governments engi-
neers.

Wednesday was great day for Ford
smash-ups in Waterville. The first oc-
Cured in Waterville in the forenoon when
the driver tried to knock down an iron
railing and four-inch maple tree in or
der to get his car into the Messalonskee
to give 1t bath. He succeeded in going
through the railing but the tree was too
strong for him and the result was a
broken axle and a damaged front end to
his car. Number two came a little later
when a Ford went into hole near the
Central Maine park. bending the front
axle and twisting the steering gear so
that it was put out of commission. Num-
ber three followed when a couple of
Fords were proceeding up College ave-
nue. at pretty good clip in the afternoon.
The car ahead stopped for something and
the one behind tried to push it out Of the
way, with the result that they both had
smashed lights and bent mud guards.

Notes of the Fair

One of the celebrities at the fair is
George H. Dale, who is selling engraved
jewelry. Mr.. Dale is doing the fairs of
Maine and has recently completed an 5000
mile trip on an ordinary bicycle with a
motor wheel attachment. Mr.. Dale has
been the center of considerable attention
since he landed here. His wheel still
bears California license plate He
started from the Pacific coast the first of
last August and made the entire trip
across the continent on his bicycle
when 1 bought the little motor attach
ment I had my doubts about its ability
to get me across the continent. But with
the exception of some distance through
the desert which traversed by train, the
motor attachment pushed me all the
way"
Probably no trip could have been more
replete with scenic interest than this
cross-continent tour of Mr.. Dale's. The
mountains offered him no hindrance, he
says, because the roads have been laid
out so that they wind around and around
the slopes and gradual grades. For a
taunt of this character Mr. Dale regards
the trip as remarkably uneventful. Prac-
llCdlly no T1eCNdDlCdI ITOuDIe. Inc only
inconvenience was bodily pain in the
region of the abdomen which would de-
velop after some hours Of riding. This
was my signal to stop and rest while" ;"
smiled Mr. Dale. The entire trip took
just three days over a month and the av-
erage cost was $3.50 per day.
The playing of the Waterville Military
Band has been fine and has been greatly
enjoyed by the crowd.
A feature of the first race OF Wednes-
day afternoon was that all three of the
horses were driven by drivers who had
been put up by the judges. Something
old race followers said they had never
seen before.
A number Of hand organs were on the
grounds Wednesday and they furnished
some good music and did a good business.
The fair grounds Wednesday were plen-
tifully sprinkled with police, both in uni
form and in plain clothes, and as re-
suit the activities of that class of gentle
men commonly known as pickpockets
were decidedly curtailed. Several Of them
were given a few minutes in which to get
out of town and one arrest was made.
Another thing which was missing as
result of the police activity was the ia
miliar get a good bottle Of beer inside,
boys" She stuff which has always been
sold has been of poor grade of Uno. but
this year the sale of even that has been
stopped. During the afternoon two gam
bling games were found and stopped by
the plain clothes officers and a couple of
local fellows were locked up for fighting.
There was very little evidence of liquor
drinking on the grounds and many people
remarked on the almost entire absence OF
intoxicated men.
Patrolman Cunningham saved small
boy from death or serious injury as the
horses finished In the final heat Of the
o24 class. The little fellow ran out on
the track and as the horses rushed down
upon him he appeared dazed and stood
still The officer rushed out and took the
boy in his arms and pressed himself
against the fence as the horses rushed
