The story started by some irresponsi- ble person to the effect that the money needed for the bust of Harriet Beecher Stowe at the Worlds Fair was to be raised in part by "nickel-in-the-slot" machines in post offices throughout the state, has naturally mortified the Connecticut mem bers 1.-the board of lady managers, who never contemplated such move. The women of Connecticut are cordially re- spending to the appeal for funds and the money will be raised without resorting to catch penny methods, such as the author of the absurd story alluded to would have people believe.

During the last gubernatorial campaign in Ohio large numbers of tin tokens about the size of 3 nickel were issued and wide- ly circulated as evidence that American tin plate was being manufactured under the Mckinley act. An Irishman, recent ly landed in this country, who had been in Portsmouth for about week, got one of these tokens in his pocket, and thought that 1t was coin of the realm. Going into 8 saloon he ordered glass of beer, drank it, and, as he wiped his mus tache, laid the tin token down on the counter and turned away. The bartender yelled after him to know if he was not go- ing to pay for his beer, and received the reply from Pat: "Faith, an did pay for 1t. laid the money on the counter. ; The bartender replied: No, you didn't ]; that is tin.n Whereupon Pats reply came as follows: 'Faith, ah' if it's tin yez can keep the extry five cints to buy yourself a glass of beer,n and of he went out of the door, leaving the bartender too as- tonishished to call him back again.

 - THE- w WoRHD,s F AIR.-Wil the Connee. teout commissioners get the $50, 900 re quired for putting up building at Chica- go and to defray other expenses? Most surely they will. The senate adjourned to May 3, without passing the appropria. tions But should the supreme court make decision in the Phelan case before May 3 (and we do not know why 1t can. not, as it has already considered the .en. tire question:, the appropriation may be made by the general assembly. But should the legislative deadlock continue the money can be readily raised. There are eight large towns, each having g board of trade, we believe. They are invited with all who are interested, to meet al the capitol on the 22d inst, to consider this subject. Men and women interested all are invited. We presume Hartford will designate some manner in which itk share shall be raised. It may be done by subscriptions; by note signed by good number of persons; or by advances by corporations. The money so raised would bear a legal rate of interest. No security would be better. The legislature will be in working order next January, if not be fore, and it will certainly pay the money advanced for this object. No party, nc ten members of the general assembly could be found to vote against it. Ths money can be raised, and when the gen eraI assembly gets into legislative harmo ny and working order, it will be paid by the state, with interest. -Hmtf ford Tinsss

 THE SPEoTRosooPE IN AsTRoNoMY.- Sir Robert Ball, in his interesting article on the new astronomy, in the Fortnightly,
 Waxes justifably enthusiastic on the tli- snmphs of spectroscope photography in extending our sknoWledge'of the heavens. The moVemekts Of tho stars in direos llns iag ss srsld IS, wlaiusz ste nor ndtlk able on merely teleecopic examination, lare now measured with wonderful exact ness. Stars at such 8 distance that if they were brought ten times nearer us would still be too far away for measure ment by the ordinary processes of the ob- servatory, have now their diameter guaged. It is surely, says Sir Robert Ball, note- worthy epoch in the history of astronomy when, for the first time, we are able to apply the celestial callipers to guage the diameter of a star. .* Who would have predicted, some few years ago, that the spectrosope was to be the instrument to which we should be indebted for the means of putting measuring tape around the girth of star? Of the dark sattel- lite of the variable star Algol, so much has been dedueed by the aid of the new spectroscopic methods, that Sir Robert Ball is able to say: tsHere Is an object which we never have seen, and apparent iy never can expect to see, but yet we have been able not only to weigh it and measure it, but also to determine it's rnc cxrnv,, ante, Tno,yyao, Aya..a

 THE auroral display of last Saturday evening was one of the finest ever seen in this part of the world. In the light of the full moon the sky glowed with the most beautiful tints, crimson, of course, being predominant. The first glance at the crimson sky suggested the prevalence of an extensive confagratfon, in fact, many communities got quite excited over the misfortune supposed to be falling up- on neighbors at the north. Thus, while Stafford people were sympathizing with Monson neighbors, the latter were con- miserating the people of Palmer, and so on. Generally, however, a second glance convinced one that the flames reflected were not terrestrial. It is predicted that we are to have further beautiful displays of like character during the present year.
 The annual report of the Connecticut Temperance Union, just published, shows that it did large amount of work in 1891. The secretary delivered 305 and the agent 125 addresses. 1871 com munications and s,333 circulars and pack ages were sent out. 13,440 families were called upon and 415,4 AT pages of temper ance literature were distributed by the agent and colporters, besides 140, 900 sent out through other channels. Expenses of the year, $6,201.46. Valuable inform ation is given as to the progress of tenl- perance work in this and other lands. The people of Connecticut, of all parties and creeds, are urged to combine for the one purpose of suppressing the open dram shop. This document and Timely Truth, No. 7,' containing addresses delivered at the state anti-saloon convention at Bridge port, will be sent free on application to Rev, J. H, James, Rockville, Conn.
