HIS LIFE WORK,
What an OldE'ime Composition Has Done
 in Handling Type.

What an Old-Iime Compositor Has Done
 in Handling Type.
 "Uncle Alex Crockett, compositor of this city, has recently passed the six, tieth mile-post of his life as printer, says the Nevada Democrat. MT. Crock ett has spent the greater part of his life at the case and this is what he has ac- complished:
 At an average of three columns per day, he has set up 50, 100 columns.
 This type, put ina newspaper of eight columns to the page, would fill 7,O2O pages.
 At five minutes per column it would take one year three months and thirteen days to read this amount of matter.
 If measured by the lem" it would az gregate 40, 100000.
 At thirty-fve cents per 1000 ems this amount of labor would be worth $40, 40.
 This much type would weigh 766, ,246 pounds. It would contain 42l, 200, ,00O letters.
 If these letters were laid end to end they would cover q distance of 5,81613 miles.
 It would make Il, ,233, ,OOO lines.
 He could have set the unabridged cdi- I1On Ol " cDSItr ulCUlOuflTy lIiIl lGCL times, or the Bible forty-fivc times.
 If placed in one long column it would reach twenty-two miles.
 If the metal were nodded into bullets it would furnish ammunition to fight the war of 1872 and then have enough type left to set five copies of ''POOr Richards Almanac" three of Talmagc's sermons and 297 patent medicine tcsti- mOnials.
 As we go to press ''Unclc Alex is at his case, whistling "Conradcs" and pulling out for fiat ta!le.'

'..- A FruitIess Search.

According to recent reports from New York city another fruitless search for the treasure which went down in the English ship Hussar in November 17SO, off Port Morris, has practically ceased, and another band of stock holders, anxious to get rich in short order, is bewailing the sending of good money after bad. Capt. Thomas Symonds has been dredging since last July, and has brought up flint, shot and musket trimmings and two guineas and q half guinea. Capt. Symonds' contract expired the other day. Several weeks ago the stock holders began to study up marine law They found that if the captain was anchored about the wreck when his contract expired and wanted to con tinue the search he could thereafter keep all the gold he found. Some of the stockholders thought Capt. Sy- monds might have discovered more guineas and kept the knowledge to himself. They formed committees and wrote letters and did other things which angered the captain, but brought no gold to tho surface. The captain has removed part of his force. It is re- ported that the search may be con tinued by the Chapman Derrick and Dredging Company. It looks like throwing good money after bad.

IAN examination of the vote on license throughout the state in town elections shows that the advocates of no license have made gain of three towns" says the Hartford Times. "In 1891 the towns voting license were eighty-two, and the number now falls off to seventy nine. The largest gain by the cold water advocates was in Litchfield county, three towns. They also gained one each in MiddleseX and Holland counties, but thls was offset by losses of one each in Fairfield and New Haven
 Connecticut, the liquor traffic is now prohibited under the operation of the local option law. As a rule, the pro- hibition is fairly well, and in many towns, absolutely enforced, especially where public sentiment is strongly against liquor selling. In our judg- plent the local option feature of our liquor laws is demonstrating more strongly year by year, it's practical value in regulating and restricting a traffic which no legislature has ever yet succeeded in destroying throughout an entire state. Where public sentiment condemns the saloon, as in the mo- license towns, there they can be sup pressed. In the larger places, where public sentiment is different, it is prac- tically impossible to enforce the law. The larger cities in the only prohibition state, Maine, furnish daily proofs of the truth of this statement. In a single city, Bangor, it is stated that nearly z hundred saloons are conducted to-day
 with little or no attempt at secrecy"

TIE Philadelphia Ledger has made an interesting compilation of the cost of various Arctic explorations, from that of Wllloughby, made 300 years ago, to that of Lieutenant Peqry, to show how these explorations have now been re- duced to such a mathematical science that they can be made with an expendi- ture of vital force and money far less than that required in the past. Will loughby's expedition, which was of course small and imperfect, cost $50, ,000, while that of Moor, ln 174G, cost $50,- 900. The second German North Pole expedition cost S55,OOO, while that of Franklin and the parties that were sent to his relief cost the enormous sum of more than $4 4,000,000, and the British North Pole expedition S250,00O. Set over against these sums is the cost of the Peary party's trip, which was below S25 ,000, while the results obtained by this party in matters pertaining to geography, geology, zoology, botany and-perhaps most important of all ethnography, are undoubtedly greater and more important than those obtained by any other individual expedition.

was elegantly illustrated with por-
traits, skulls, busts and other para

an extensive and valuable collection
and which he uses to good advantage.
The lecturer impressed upon the au-
dience that the amount and kind of
sense possessed by any individual
could be measured on scientific prin.
ciples and practical directions given
f0r the choice of a profession or trade.
He adduced many examples of the
practical result of chronological advice
when individuals had found their best
adaptation securing financial success,
excellent work, and enjoyment of the
business which was legitimate part
of the profits.
Prof. Windsor made three public

IMmEDIATE ACTION NEEDED

-
 We join the Hartford Courant in urging the boards of trade in this state, the great manufacturers and others especially in terested, to do something toward provid- ing for proper representation of Connec- ticut's products at the Worlds fair which is to be held in Chicago. AS the Courant says: The Chicago fair will be the greatest event of it's kind that the people of this earth have ever witnessed. It will be the wonderful Nineteenth Century on exhibi- tion to itself. The people of the iveliest city that the sun shines on are full of zeal and enthusiasm in planning for it and their contagious interest has spread wherever people read. To exhibit there is an opportunity such as can in the na- ture of things have few if any equals. In the fierce competition of these days, and with the cheap talk of hostile manu- lecturers and dyspeptic free traders to the effect that New England is declining, the chance to show out there what Connecti- cut is is the chance of century, and of the next century, too. It value cannot be overestimated, nor, for that matter, is it easy to overestimate the showing that Con- necticut could make-frst in whatever it does, and doing pretty nearly everything.
 It is evident that the senate doesn't in tend to allow any business to be done by the legislature, and it is high time some body was attending to this very important matter Connecticut must be representsd at the fair, and well represented too. She will not be if somebody doesn't go to work pretty soon. There should be or gsnization and action without further de- lay

An Opera Matinee in Paris.


 The first matinee that has ever taken place at the Grand Opera, in the way of regular performance, came off two days ago, and was an immense success. Popular prices were the rule. the best seats in the house costing from 80 cents 70 s1.60, for which sums places could be secured before hand without extra charge. Tickets ruled lower as the spectators mounted higher, till in the fourth gallery, the uppermost of all, the price of admission was one franc, (only 20 cents). And as one can hear and gee to perfection in that very lofty position, impscunious lovers of music were decided ly in luck.
 There was not vacant seat in the whole vast theater The boxes on the two fash ionable tiers, the first and second, were crowded with groups of delighted children, or with merry schoolboys and girls, wind trancing fashion. The performance con- prised the ballet of "Coppelia," with the charming Mile. Subra as premiere dsnseuse, and the opera of La Fsvorita, ,'with Mme Deschamps- Jehin, considered by 8 good many connoisseurs as the finest female sim ger of the company in the role of Leonora So it will be comprehended that M. Bert rand, the incoming director, had done bis best by his new class of patrons.
 The performance began at five o'clock and there was an intermission of half an hour after the ballet, to give time to the specta. tors to go and get, something to eat. Any, thing like regular meal was, of course, out of the question, but all the restaurants in the neighborhood were beseiged. the bill
