LET US THINK ABOUT TT,

The world does move, even that part of 1t in which New Haven is situated. There are signs of motion and progress even here. Many are now living who can remember when the old Tomlinson bridge s1umbered and routed in the moonlight, forming a fitting and beautiful companion-piece to the classic ruin which mildly shene and shines on the Green in the moons pale rays. The long and exciting controversy over the bridge, and the triumph of the iconoclasts is remembered. And now the place erstwhile adorned by the ancient and pleasing struct- ure knows it no more. Art and the town born may weep, but they cannot bring it back. In it's place is a vulgarly modern, but still very useful bridge, bridge which is much more useful than ruinous. This fact indicates that some progress has been made toward the solution of question which has long vexed New Haven.
 Now we are entering the next stage of dis cussion concerning Ioml1nson bridge. And as there is no knowing whether this gener- ation will ever emerge from it it is well not to have any trifing in the beginning. That is, it is we'll not to get the idea that the people of New Haven will soon make up their minds about the matter. Still, it is also wise to proceed as if decision were pos sjble, and as if plain facts might make some impression.
 There are few toll bridges left In this part of the country, and those that are left are unanimously called nuisances by those who are forced to use them. Why should the people of New Haven be afflicted with toll bridge and an old State House tool We do not pause for reply, because we know that there is 20 good reason.
 Can the people of New Haven easily get rid of this obstruction to travela It appears that they can. The Consolidated railroad com pany will sell them the bridge for very reasonable price, and then it can be made free.
 As the matter now stands there do not appear to be two sides to this branch of the Tomlnson bridge question Still, we SUD- pose ''Town Born," ''Veritas," Taxpayer and others will do their best to prevent any speedy decision. We shall see what we shall see. Meanwhile let rejoice that the old State House still stands, though the Tomlin- son bridge art model is no more

Telegraph companies have trouble enough with their lines in this country, but the diff faculties they have to contend with are not so many and so great those which trouble telegraph managers in Brazil In Brazil the lines have to contend both with the natural decay, rapid as that is in tropical country, and with the sudden fall of the temperature at sundown that causes wires and insulators to break by contraction. All nature is leagued against them. The luxurious vegetation of the tropics, despite all attempts to keep it down, causes end of trouble. Birds build their nests on top of the poles and ants up their sides, while skunks and armadillos un- dermine them and cause their sudden fall. The ants nests have to be chopped off with axes, when old and hard. Wasps build nests in the bell-shaped porcelain insulators, apes meddle with the wires and enormous swarms of birds, flying by night, often wreck or tan gle them. More mischievous than any of these is a huge spider that weaves it's web between the wires and interferes with the electric currents. Worst of all, the tremen- dous tropical thunderstorms smash wires, poles, insulators and all, almost daily in their season, despite all precautions.
