Hartford in 1888 population of 81, 1856. The
recently published census, already referred
to. made out in 1889, put 1t at 8,179. Thus
this calculation made us more than 5000
better, and that one year earlier, besides. II
We carry the 1883 estimate out to full ten
years at the same ratio, 1t gives Hartford q
population In 1890 of 63.7l9 But the fact
Is that in the years 1883 and 1889 we have
been unquestionably gaining more rapidly

Courant's own belief is that the 1890 census
will give us more than Sd, 900. We should
be glad to see 1t 10000.

An editors lot in some of our smaller
colonies is hardly happy one The people
he has to print news of and opinions on
are all personally known to him, so that he
risks all kinds of social difficulty by calling
attention to abuses or deficiencies. Then he
has great difficulty in keeping up sufii-
cient sale of his paper. The editor of an
Antigua paper has been complaining that
people who ought to buy his paper content
themselves with borrowing it. He adds:
Some go so far as to send to the Office to
borrow the current number every week.
This is certainly carrying joke inst leetle
too far" So we think. But another West
Indian paper says of him: "He expresses
himself like man now TO the ways of the
public spirited inhabitants, which is "true

QUITE COMPLIMENTARY.

The following complimentary notice OF
the editor of the LIGHT appears in the
Literature and Art" column of the Kan
sas City Daily Times of December LIST.
A beautiful little brochure entitled, "A
Golden Wedding Lay" has Just been pub
lished by Mr.. w. 5. Messmer, of San An
tonic, Texas, and dedicated to Colonel and
Mrs. @. w. Fulton on the 50th anniver-
sary of their wedding. Colonel and Mrs.
Fulton were married at Brazoria, Texas,
March IL, 1910, and the golden anniversa-
ry occurred last March in Arkansas, Tex
as, at which time the poems IN this book
we're read. The principal poems are the
work Of Mr.. Messmer, and evince rare pO-
etic skill, as the following will show:
The bay behind you known, the gulf be-
fore unknown,
And uninterrupted its everlasting moan,
IL lies in solitude, that earthly thing
alone
On which the shadow of tho infinite is
thrown,
To type its awful mystery.
Approaching the compliment, the
author disclaims any responsibility for
the publication, which was the work of
Col. Fulton while in Cincinnati. The
first intimation l had of their being in
print was the receipt of copy. Editors
are not apt to rush into print with poetry,

The Paris Ship Canal.

To make Paris once more seaport by
rendering it accessible to merchant vessels
of the largest size is problem which has
repeatedly engaged the attention of civil

Gently confined themselves to schemes for
deepening and Strengthening the Seine.
These projects have now been discarded in
favor of a plan which aims TO use the Seine
and its atfuents merely as feeders of ship
canal which is to follow straight line
from Rouen to Paris.
The length of this artificial water way
will be about 10 miles, the depth 20 feet,
and the breadth sufficient to allow two
large vessels to pass one another. The
estimated cost of the proposed canal, in
Guiding excavations, dams, sluices and
bridges, as well as the sums requisite for
the purchase of land, is $27, 000 600; but it
is computed that dues of S1.30 a ton, COM
ing and going, will pay handsome return
on the capital invested-so great is the vol.
ume of traffic anticipated.
If this long cherished project of reviving
the maritime activity of Paris is carried
out, the inhabitants of Berlin are likely to
be spurred to emulation, for they have fire.

The Phantom Ship That Was the Fore

The Phantom Ship That Was the Fore
runner of an Awful Thunder Storm.
One of the most adventurous voyages on
record was that completed by the new
steamship Ailsa Craig, which doCked at
Reed street wharf after voyage of sixty
two DAYS from Java. This steamer, which
is commanded by Capt. Robert HAZEL, was
built by w. b. Thompson, of Dundee, and
this was her second trip across the ocean.
Capt. HAZEL. who is salt of the old East
India type, told the story of his voyage in
terse and vigorous language.
t'This," he remarked, "has been a most
adventurous voyage from port to port.
We left Java with 4, SO tons of sugar on
board. We came through the Suez canal,
and no incident of Importance happened to
us until we were well out in the Bay of
Biscay, when one night in the middle
watch | was hastily summoned on deck. A
strange phenomenon was presented.
"a full rugged ship, steering large, with
lower, fOretopmast and topgallant stun
sails set, and heading right athwart our
course | ordered the helm to starboard
so as to make sure of clearing her, and pre-
pared the night signals in readiness to
answer her in case she wanted 70 speak to
u.s. Just at that moment the moon, which
had been shining brightly on the passing
craft, was obscured by cloud. In the
darkness which followed we lost sight of
the strange ship. The instant the light
reappeared all eyes were turned in the di-
rection of the approaching ship. No vessel
was to be seen; she had vanished from the
surface of the waters.
Nothing further of interest occurred for
a few days, when about a. m. we fell in
with most tremendous thunder storm.
The wind blew all around the compass,
and TIE lightning was vivid and incessant.
At $50 a. m the third officer, Mr.. Swart
more, was on the bridge, having charge of
the deck, when binding flash of light
ming, followed by an awful clap of thun-
der, startled all hands. The electric bolt
struck the foretopgallant head, shivering
the spar, thence passing down the back
stays along the iron rails TO the bridge,
when it struck the good officer and the
lookout, knocking them both senseless.
cat the same moment tremendous sea
lifted the vessel, broaching her to and
throwing the steersman, who was a Dutch
man named kraut, over the wheel, but for
tunately he escaped with only slight
bruises. During the height of the storm
| thunderbUlt ran down the main royal back
stay and exploded close to the rail, sending
out a. shower of sparks and soaring every
one on board. This, however, seemed to
break the storm and the weather gradually
| got finer, and the next morning we were
| on soundings, with bright sun and favor
ing breezes. "-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Clubs of "GentIemen."

The Union and Knickerbocker clubs are
unique. In them the association of gen
tlemen" idea is carried out to the fullest.
Neither one has a charter, and any mem
Der of either club can be held responsible
for the entire debts of his club. BY de-
clning to avail themselves of the protec-
ton which the law gives to a chartered
corporation the members assume the risk
of unlimited liability associations, but they
hold that the secrecy with which their free
dom from legal trammels surrounds their
institution is full compensation. Neither
club ever takes any steps to enforce pay
ment of members Indebtedness. A mem
Der can run up bill of a couple of thou
sand dollars or more on a big dinner, for
instance, and should he fail to meet his
debt OF honor when the bill is presented
no attempt is made to force a settlement.
Should such a case arise he would simply
be expelled, and thereby be forever ostra-
cized in clubdom. Cases of the kind
are, however, so rare as to be practically
unknown.-New York Press.

White Pitch.

A new white pitch for shipbuilders is
coming into use, and which, it appears,
supersedes the usual laborious, expensive
and inadequate method of treating decks
by working putty into the seams with a
knife. The popularity of this white pitch
is, as claimed, that it is the only material
yet introduced of white color that can be
run into deck seams in hot state like or
binary pitch. The material is especially
suitable for hot climates, as it will stand
the suns heat instead of melting out of
the seams.-Philadelph Record.

tools. Most men who do any wood-wor
have such n stone, but the way in which
IL is treated makes it nearly useless. Re-
form is easy. Get some glycerine--a
common grade will do--and, IL n half
pound or pound is bought at time, il
will not be costly. Its first use will bo
TO clean off the stone and get rid of all
the gum. When the stone is ready for
use, the glycerine is always TO be en-
ployed instead of oil on the stone. This
improves the cutting. The glyceriue
does not dry up. Even though the
stone be laid away for months, there will
be no hard dirt or gum on the surface.
II dusty, it can be washed off with water.
Another advantage is that the glycerine
may be used with either oil or water. II
it is lacking, water can be used for
time without harm. Nor will its use
prevent return to glyceriue or oil il it
is ever necessary TO use the latter.
For the grindstonc, it is time TO aban-
don the water-trough. Where the stone
stands in the water it becomes soft, while
the dry side retains its natural hardness
After little, this results in its getting
"out OF round and then it is almost
impossible TO do any satisfactory work.
The trough itself is u receptacle for dirt
and the mud from the stone. The water
when grinding is nasty and decided nuis-
sance. Discard the trough. Put bracket
OF shelf up over the stone, and upon it
mount a can with ahole in one side at the
bottom. A pine stick in the hole will regu.
late the flow of water, and then the grind
ing can be done with that luxury, Just
water enough and no more. The water
Is clean, and comes exactly on the right
| spot. When the work is finished, the
can is emptied and the stone is safe.
Turning the can upside down saves it
from becoming dirt-trap, and it is ready
| for business in a moment.
Almost all grindstones in the country
are q little out of true. This is taken to
be something that cannot be helped, al
though nearly every one has tradition
that u stone may be made true by grind
ing it with nail rod" Rods cost money
and do not grind very we'll. SO the
stone is never rounded up. Get a piece
of inch gas or steam-pipe. Fix a good
rest across the face of the stone, parallel
with the axle, and use the end of the gas
/ pipe as a tool. Traverse the tool from
side to side with a rolling motion. If
this is done as soon as the stone shows
any signs of 'wabbling' the task of keep
ing it true is not difficult one. The
only precaution needed is to have strong
man at the grindstone crank. II one is
fortunately provided with power, the
task is of course easy. 1t ought to turn
with as little tremble of the edge rs a
ell-balanced top when sleeping -
