 Our poor laws regarding foreigners and
 residents of other States ara most dis
 graceful. and tend directly to such atroci-
 ties as the foregoing. Let us see briefly what they are:
 By our statutes regarding paupers. any resident of another state. com ing into Connecticut, may be warn- cd by the selectmen to leave the State and when so warned shall be liable to fine if he remains. Tho seleetmen may further issue warrant to q constable to remove such person to the state from which he came. Every person harboring an inhabitant of another state warned to leave also becomes liable'to fine There is no restriction on the power of the selectmen in these cases. They are the sole judges of whether the incomer may become a pauper. They would probably be liable to private suit if they wilfully or maliciously drove out citi- zens of another state who were people of property and could evidently support themselves. But we cannot see why every poor man coming into this state does not remain solely on permission of! the select men of the town in which he wishes to live. They could legally remove him at any time without assigning any other reason than his poverty. Practically this law is seldom enforced, but it certainly confers enor- nous power on the town authorities, and one that might easily be abused. We can not see why every laborer on the Boston and Erie railroad might not be legally re- moved out of the state by the selectmen and civil authority of the town in which the work is proceeding. 5ea. :s T17E
 A law which treats every citizen of another stase or country as prisaJacie 9 pauper and nuisance, is . very barbar- ous ordinance to ibe found on a. Nineteenth Century statute book. It Itceftainly needs ma terial modification, Its practical working is this: Any able.bodied poor man can go un- disturbed to any town in the.state and en. gage in any business he chooses in that town; but if his health fails. or he is ac- injured, then the disgraceful proceeding reported above is very apt to occur. Sslectmen begin hustling the suf- ferer abont from town to town or, out of the State. The laws might not, indeed, quite warrant riskiag the poor mans life. but to the selectman standing between and the town treasury human agony seems 2 small matter, Oar pauper system, really an unlovely importation from deserves thorough oser.hauliug.

NEW SAFETY LAMP.-According 10 the in
vention of Mr. w. Key, Of Bristol, the lamp
is constructed Of metal case, with an orifce
three inches in diameter, through which the
light issues. The glass which lille this oriflce
Is preserved from injury by several crossings
of strong wire. The air Is admitted through
an aperture In the bottom, aud the hot air
goes out through another at the top Of the
lamp. Both these apertures are covered
with gauze wire, protected in such way as
to put stop TO the dangerous practice OF
miners lighting their pipes through the
gauze, which Is often done with the lamps
now In use The lamp, made Of common
sheet-iron, would weigh about two pounds,
and its price would not be greater than that
of the Davy lamp, while it gives at least
twice as much light, at a cost Of about I'd.
for 12 hours burning. One difficulty with
mining lanterns has been the breaking Of the
glass when It Is brought into contact with
the fame, but with Mr.. Keys lamp the light
goes out Immediately the lantern is held In
such a position as to bring the top Of the
flame under the glass. Held In any other
position, the light remains burning An
other peculiarity Of Mr. Keys Invention Is,
that as soon as II is taken into an atmosphere
of fire-damp, the flame begins TO flicker,
more or less, according to the quantity Of
fire-damp, and eventually goes out The
lamp has been shown to several practical
men, who highly approve Of It. Altogether,
Mr.. Keys invention Is a very ingenious and
useful one, and likely to prove great service
to eolliers In their dangerous ealling.-BFu.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE FIRST LOCOMOTIVE
Major Horatio Allen, the engineer Of the
New York and Erie Railroad, gives the fol-
lowing account Of the first trip made by 3
locomotive on this continent:
When was 1t? And who awakened It's
energies and directed its moyementy II was
in the year 1928, on the banks of the Lacka-
waxen, Penn'a, at the commencement Of the
railroads connecting the canal Of the Dele
ware and Hudson Canal Company with their
coal mines-and he who addresses you was
the only person on that locomotive. The
circumstances which led to my being alone
on the road were these: The road had
been built In the Summer, and the structure
was Of hemlock timber, and rails Of large d.
mensions notched in caps placed far apart.
The timber had been cracked and warped
from exposure to the sun. After about 500
feet straight line, the road crossed Lacka-
waxen creek on the trestle-works about 500
feet high, with curve Of 355 to 400 feet
radius The impression was very general
that the iron monster would either break
down the road or Il would leave the track at
the curve and plunge into The creek
My reply to such apprehenslons was that
il was too late to consider the probability
of such occurrences; there was no other
course than to have a trial made Of the
strange animal which had been brought here
at a big expense; but that 1t was not neces-
sary that more than one should be involved
in its fate; that / take the first ride alone,
and the time would come when i should
look to the incident with great interest
AS placed my hand on the throttle-valve
handle l was undecided whether ! would

out of hearing Of the vast assemblage. At
the eud of two or three miles, reversed the
valve and returned without accident, having
thus made the first railrod trip BY locomotive
on the Western Hemisphere.

THE SECRETS OF THE DEEP.-What has be-
come of the innumerable bones, and teeth,
and scales of fishes that, for all the year
gone by, have died in the broad Atlanticg :
Where are the remains Of the many ships
that have been swallowed up In its waves
Where are the gravel heaps left behind by
the ieebergs that have been melted ln floating
down from the Polar seass Where, also,
the substances driffed across BY the Gulf
Stream, and other currents that traverse the

of whales and fishes Of the surface, but more
probably the sole Inhabitants Of those great
depths which other animals, mere highly or

that the search Of them amply repays the Ia

Auburn, where by the labor Of himself and

in the army, or Joined some volunteer com

in real estate. His wife died before
him, and his will put his property in

but that individual didn't turn up
At the last term of court came one
