Among the scientific problems to
which Professor Alexander Graham
Bell who will spend the summer in
Nova Scotio, will devote the season, is
the transmission Of light by electricity,
that is, he will try TO harness electricity
20 light as Il has been harnessed
20 light, so that people may
be able to see great
distance, Just as the telegraph enables
them 10 write and the telephone enables
them TO speak at great distance. Pro-
lessor Bell firmly believes that il will
be possible some day 70 see from Wash
ington 20 New York as easily as one
can convey the sound OF the voice that
distance. The vibrations Of light are
much more rapid than the vibrations Of
sound. but Professor Bell is confident
that he will soon be able 70 discover \
diaphragm sufficiently sensitive TO re-
ceive the vibrations OF light aLd pro-
duce the effect necessary TO convey the
i'm pressions 20 the human vision.

More Electric Cara.

In another week, says the Waterbury Republican, the first electrically-pro- pelled street cars in Waterbury will be in operation on the Naugatuck line. The tedious work of hanging the motors is progressing favorably and by satur- day night this important part of the equipment will have been completed. No one motor is hung at time so that ill this respect all the cars have reached about the same stage in the work. The hanging of the trolley wire from Nauga- tuck to the barns is nearly completed with the exception of Exchange place. Here it is understood the supporting wires will be attached to the Brown buildings with MT. Browns consent. As previously stated in the Republican, the electric cars will first be in opera ton on the Naugatuck line and the horses will be dropped from the other lines as fast as the equipment warrants it. The current is connected with the Naugatuck line at the corner of Jewelry and South Main streets by cable from the power house on Bank street, ex- tending through Jewelry street. The track relaying operations on Bank street are nearly finished and on East Main street the work has progressed to John lannon's S residence.

UNFORTUNATES WANT WORK.

Sixteen Applicants at Organized Charities
 Walked from New York on 8 Bridal
 Tour.
 The case of Maggie Early who was found in the green last week and claimed to be deserted bride of one week is still clouded in mystery. She is at present at work in local hotel. Superintendent Preston of the Organ ized Charities is inclined to doubt the truth of her story.
 Yesterday afternoon young girl, nineteen years old, accompanied by her husband, made application for assist ance at the Organized Charities. She said that they were married in Phila- delphia where her husband was 8 waiter in hotel, two weeks ago, and that inn mediately after her husband lost his situation. She came from that city to New York on the cars and walked from the metropolis to West Haven where the selectmen gave them fifty cents each for meals md five cents for car fare and dispatched them to this city. Super intendent Preston will endeavor to se- cure work for them. They are en route to Springfield, Mass, their former home.
 So far this week there have been six teen applicants for Assistance at the Or ganized Charities building. Of this number thirteen came yesterday and three on Sunday.

Adna Adams Treat, Who was Born in
 Hartford, Conn.,, in 1787.
 The oldest Freemason in the United States, Adna Adams Treat, was born in Hartford, Conn.,, April 8, 1797. In 1928 he became a member of Apollo Lodge of Troy, N. Y, and he is still member of that organization. In 1925 he married Miss Jane Relay of Troy, who died October 2S, 1890. For num- Der of years MT. Treat has lived in Denver, Col, with his daughter, the wife of Dr. Burnham of that oity. He is the oldest churchman in the west.
 In early life this aged Mason was en- gagged in the picture-frame business in Hartford. He was enc of the founders of "the Troy Looking Manufac- tory" In 1880 he removed to Syracuse and engaged in the grain trade. Sub- sequently he resided in Ohio and Indi- ana, going westward with the popula- tion of the period. He was eighty years of age when he began the wri- ting of poems of an anniversary and descriptive character. His descrip- tion of the Rocky Mountains and the poem written on the ninety-sixth an- niversary of his birth have been pub lished.
 MT. Treat remembers the celebrated Hartford convention, which was held in the State Capitol at Hartford dur ing the war of 1912. The old building in which the convention held it's ses- sions under the ban of secrecy is now used as a City Hall. He took part in the celebration in Hartford in 1915 re- cognizing the peace treaty with Eng land. The public festivities were kept up until midnight, being three hours later than the customs and habits of the city at that time allowed.
 The old Mason and his bride, Jane Reilay, were regarded as the hand somest couple in Troy back in 1925. MT. Treat is hale and hearty in his ninety-eighth year and bids fair to reach the concluding years of the cen- tury. He has been Mason more than seventy years. ......,. -,
