What Shall We DO with the State
HOuee7

Housef
70 the Editor Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The above question is now sgitating the
minds of many of our citizens and the Com
mon Council committee don't know just what
to do with the gift of Connecticut. Various
are the suggestions. There are three facts in
connection with whatever disposition we may
make of it. The first is, the building stands
in most beautiful spot for any purpose.
The second is, it is sadly in need of repairs
and spoils the beauty of the spot on which
it stands; and the third is, the committee of
our city government has full power to say to
their appointing power what should be done
in the matter. Now, it is hoped by many
citizens that no submission to a vote will be
recommended. It will involve too much in
tricacy. The legislature gave it to New Ha-
ven through its corporate capscity and they
accepted it. If they ever thought of destroy
ing what for did they take itl Better let the
State tear it down than the taxpayers
pay for it. Some of our best citi-
zens are not in favor of destroying it.
Let it stand For $25, 900 it can be put in
good repair We want it for many purposes.
The Historical society nicely fixed. Put
the city library on the other side of the hall
and give the Grand Army the use of the Sec
ond floor The Common Council voted long
ago that they could have the use of the
rooms as long as the building should stand
and the three posts have used them since. 1t
was intended to fit them up, bnt the veter-
ans decided in the face of SO much contro-
versy concerning the building to wait until
it was thoroughly settled, not to spend their
money in vain. In consideration of the SER
vices rendered their country in its hour of
peril the people of New Haven could do no
| more or better to the old soldiers than give
| them the upper floor. There are three posts
| in this city, one camp of Sons of Veterans,
| and one ladies' relief corps. Make Repre-
sentative hall the room where all the organi-
| cations can hold their meetings. Fit the
| Senate chamber up an assembly room to
be open to all Grand Army men and the
other six rooms to be used as ante or COM
mittee rooms. Now, gentlemen of the COM
mittee, will you recommend ita 1t will cost
more to tear it down than to repair it. To
| fit it up and give it to the uses of the three
| bodies have mentioned would be putting it
to good purpose and fostering that which
is due the coming posterity of our city.

Mr. Larachelle's portable electric lamp has
found much favor in Paris. The battery is
enclosed in the lower part, and consists of
an ebonite vessel divided into eight compart-
ments by partitions, furnishing eight cells,
or elements, in very compact form. The
vessel will hold about three 1iters of liquid,
capable of acting for about eight hours with
out exhaustion. Each element is made up
of rod of zinc and two rods of carbon fixed
to disk, which can be lowered into the
liquid or lifted out of it by turning a key
like that used in Careel oil lamp, and the
power of the light is regulated by the depth
The solution employed is said to be the re-
suit of many experiments with view to Sc
curing steadiness in the light, end the zines
are screwed into the disk, SO as to be easily
removed for renewal.
Mahogany has become the leading and
fashionable furniture and cabinet wood in
this country, as it is now and has been for
two centuries in England and Europe. It is
already largely used in house trimmings and
doors in our large cities. It is d wood which
does not crack, warp, swell, or shrink, and
Is famous for holding glue. It improves
with age in color or tone, and therefore gets
more beautiful as it gets older, whereas other
precious woods look their best when new.
So great has the increase in the use of ma
hogany become in the past few years in this
country that many manufacturers, especially
in the western States, have been making
goods of cherry, birch, and other cheap and
inferior woods, and staining them to initiate
mahogany; but these imitation goods very
soon begin to fade as well as to crack, warp,
or shrink, to the disgust of the purchaser.
Walnut is rapidly going out of fashion, and
as this wood is now very scarce, and getting
more SO every year, it's use is necessarily di-
minishing, and mahogany is taking its place,
as also of rosewood. Mahogany should not
be vanished till it has grown dark to suit
ones taste, as varnish is said to stop the
natural coloring process.

One OF the most remarkable events con-

took place in England in the present GEN.

Wonders of the Sea.

The sea occupies three-ffths of the sur
face of the earth. At the depth of about
$500, feet waves are not felt. The tempera-
ture is the same, varying only triae
from the ice of the pole to the burning sun
OF the equator. A mile down, the water
has pressure of a ton to the square inch.
If box six feet deep were filled with sea
water and allowed to evaporats under the
san, there would be two inches of salt left
at the bottom. Taking the average depth
OF the ocean to be three miles there would
be layer of pure salt 2SO feet thick on
the Atlantic. The water is colder at the
bottom than at the surface. In the many
bays on the coast of Norway, the water
often freezes at the bottom before it does
above. Waves are very deceptives. To
look at them in storm, one would think
the water travelled. The water stays in
the same place, but the motion goes on
Sometimes in storms these waves are
forty feet high, and travel fifty miles an
hour-more than twice as fast as the
swiftest steamer. The distance from
valley to valley is generally fifteen times
the height, hence a wave five feet high
will extend over seventy-ive feet of wa
ter. The force of the sea dashipg upon
Bell Rock is said to be II tons for every
square yard. Evaporation is a wonderful
power in drawing water from the sea.
Evary wear layer of the entire sea Il

the fields, to flow back at last through
rivers. The depth of the sea presents an
interesting pro blem. If the Atlantic were
lowered 1854 feet the distance from shore
TO shore would be half as great or 500
niles. II lowered little more than three
allies, say 1880 feet, there would be a

Ireland. This is the plain on which the
