iture in 1917-18, $11, 95S, in order
to receive from the federal govern
ment, $21,958, For expenditure in
1879, the state must appropri-

Salmon Thrive In Maine.

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 Febru.
airy, 1914. Many fish weighing five
to seven and half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river. Me-.
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.

Madison.-Lumber, ice and railroad

clean, sanitary and we'll regulated, and
former frequent complaints of their
condition have now ceased almost en-
tirely. This improvement, according
to the state board Of health, has fol-
lowed the enforcement of the regula-
lions relating to camp sanitation, en-
acted early in 1914.
r The recent court decision making
employers liable for purity of drinking
water supplied to workmen applies to
operators of lumber and other indus
trial camps. Tests of their water sup
ply will be made free of charge by the
state hygienic laboratory, provided
samples are sent to Madison in con-
tanners OF the proper type. The state
rules demand an adequate supply free
from any possible chance of contamin-
alton.
No effort is made to make work
camps first class hotels. Linen sheets
and pillows are not demanded. Straw.
hay or ticks are enough, but they must
be clean, and blankets must be hung
outside at least twice a month. Bunk
house and kitchen floors must be
washed, the water supply kept pure.
and toilet facilities conform to official
regulations.

DYNAMO INVENTOR

Test of Mechanism Was Delayed Too

Responsible for Turbine
Wheel.

Ladysmith.- r. Bishop, aged 81
years, died at Sherwood.
If it had not been for a so-called ac-
cfdent or indifference on the part OF a
few, w. r. Bishops name would have
been put before that of Thomas A. Edi-
son, for it was Bishop who really in
vented the dynamo.
Many years ago Bishop took to Law
renee university at Appleton what the
students called heap of brass. Bishop,
who lived on the east bank of Lake
'nnebago, pulled the heap of brass"
The ice on a handsleigh and
the Il six miles to Appleton. 1t
was dynamo, but the students
and professors at the university laid
the machine on shelf in a dark cor
ner of the laboratory to be taken up
and experimental with at some future
date. A few months later Edison an
nounced to the world the discovery of
the dynamo.
Bishop was surgeon in his younger
days. He had saw and grist mill In
the pioneer days of Wisconsin and op-
Grated the machinery with a crude
waterwheel. The principle was later
developed and nodded into the present
day efficient water turbine.
