IT is said that electric executions
will be painless. Henry Fault, an
electric light employee in Virginia
City, New, is authority for the
statement, and he ought to know,
for he came very near losing his life
by an electric shock the other day.
After receiving the shock he was
unconscious for fifteen minutes. A
reporter thus gives Faults expe-
rience: After grasping the wire he
was Immediately drawn upward with
irresistible force and endeavored to
shout for aid, but, although another
workman was but three feet distant,
his voice was not audible. Although
suspended by his hands with his
toes resting on the boiler plate floor
for scarcely a second. Fault says it
appeared to him that he was in that
position for several minutes. He
felt no pain whatever. This is the
last he remembers until restored to
consciousness.

\ Remarkable Rock,

Professor Henry Beals, fellow of the Royal Society of London, has been making ( special search for 'roclzing stones" Hi journeyings have been very successful Hi search for rocking stones' has been made ir conjunction with geologists on the Continent who are seeking to establish beyond contro versy the theory that these great rocks and curiously balanced stones, which in many In stances are as large as a small house, were carried on floating icebergs during the mys terious era known as the glacial period O1 the rocking stones he has discovered but one new example in addition to that already known. This is at Noanlz, on the farm oi Caleb Haley, New York fish dealer.
 This stone is estimated to weigh twenty-five tons It has rocking scope of six inches and can be readily moved by the hand. Only one other stone Is known of In New England that Lanesborough, Mass. A photograph has been taken of Mohegan Rock also known a. Shehagan, i'll the town of Montville This rock was used as a fortress and watch tower by the Mohegan Indians. It is now known to be the largest specimen of cratic powder in this country thus far discovered. It is forty-fve feet high and seventy feet long and Is calculated by scientists to weigh 10, ,OOC tons, an enormous load for foe of ice te carry. It is evidenced by the large flakes oi the stone which the insinuating frost and storms of centuries have chipped from 1t One of these fragments is sixty feet long and twelve feet thick, and its estimated weight is 1,2OO tons.-New London Telegraph.

AN INCREASED JUDICIARY.

Governor Bulkeley's recommendation for moderate increase of the number of Connecticut judges seems to meet with considerable approval from lawyers throughout the state. The condition of judicial business under the present circumstances is not what it should be, and there is often delay in the dispatch of both criminal and civil cases that works serious injury to the interests of the state and individuals. It held that by the increase of judges recommended by the governor, and more or longer terms of court, the difficulty may be remedied
 Under the conditions that now prevail criminals are seldom brought to trial until the facts of their crime have faded from the public mind, thereby giving them better chance of acquittal or at least making more difficult the work of conviction. And many of those held for minor crimes, punishment for which might act as a corrective, are frequently let go altogether by the states attorneys simply because time cannot be given for their trial. With the increase of popula- tion and the growth of crime that comes with the increase the judiciary has out grown the conditions that formerly oD- tained, and something must be done if the state would release itself from the appearance of condoning crime by a failure to provide facilities for its judg- ment and punishment The same diff culty exists in regard to the trial of civil causes. Persons who have been dam aged and who seek redress through the machinery of our civil tribunals are compelled to wait for months, sometimes for years, for the mere lack of facilities for the adjustment of their difficulties. And when, during the time when the legislature is not in session. there occurs a vacancy on the judicial bench, as oc- cured when Judge Stoddard resigned or as might occur by the death or disability of any judge, the inability of the exist ing machinery becomes still more ap- parent.
 It would seem advisable, therefore that legislation looking to a remedy for the present state of things be provided at this session. An increase in the num- Der of judges, and provision empow- ering the governor to fill occurring va cancies in the judiciary, with more or longer terms of the courts, would per haps be adequate to the purpose. Some thing, however, ought to be done, The present state of things verges on the scandalous and should be remedied.

HARRISON, it is reported, asks foui

HARRISON, it is reported, asks four questions when weighing up man's qual- ifications for a seat in the cabinet: Is the aspirant competent? Is his state of such importance that it deserves a cabi- net position: Does the aspirant's mind agree with General Harisons? Does he harmonize with the other probable members of the cabinet? Harrison has right exhilarating time when it comes to weighing up the question. When he gets cabinet together on the basis of these four questions the political millen- ium is very likely to be close at hand.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-01-21
WITH A NEW LEADER.

The strictures made on President Cleve- land since the democratic defeat last No vember have been, in some instances pretty savage, and in summing up the causes a good deal has been said of the mans real or apparent separation from his party. President Cleveland made the mistake of believing that he was big ger than the democratic party, and his course in the presidency alienated many and robbed the campaign of much if not all the personal enthusiasm that is so fruitful of results when it attaches to a leader. It was fatal mistake, but it may serve to remind democratic chiefs and presidents in future that they must not arrogate too much to themselves.
 The democratic party and its princi- pies can never become the property of any one person, or any one set of per sons. The party is bigger than the indi- vidual, and he is not sound or safe or
