Frank J. Reynolds is engineer of the Hartford (Conn.) Electric Light Company. At present the company is enlarging its plant and connecting up with various water powers in the vicinity, hoping thereby to save a considerable amount of coal and produce electricity more efficiently by reason of the larger size turbines which will be installed. This is in line with the suggestions made by Secretary Lane and W. S. Murray for a supertransmission line connecting all the important power stations between Washington and Boston.

Ned Dearborn has resigned his position as assistant biologist in the United States Department of Agriculture to take charge of a stock farm in Jefferson county, New York, and after July 1 his address will be Sacket Harbor, N. Y. The farm comprises 1400 acres, and will be stocked with twenty pairs of silver foxes in addition to the cattle, horses, and sheep now there. For several years Dearborn has devoted the greater part of his time to the study of fur farming in its many aspects. He has traveled extensively in the West and in the cooler parts of the East, also in Alaska and Canada. He has made numerous experiments in dietary and housing problems connected with fur-bearing animals in captivity.
