No More Connecticut Blue Law.

Some Connecticut reformers lately de.
feated their own aims and led besides
to the utter wiping from the statute
books Of the famous old blue law which
had stood in the colony and state for 900
years. Down from the days Of the Puri-
tans it had come direct as legacy to
Conneotioutians, and now it is gone.
Only one mana legislator-shed tears
for it, and they, alas, were crocodile
tears! But what else could have been
expected in these days Of football, gam
bling and horse racing?
It will be news to most Of our readers
that till this year the ancient blue law
was actually in force and prosecutions
could be made under it any time. A
number of Connecticut reformers a few
months ago undertook to resurrect the
Puritan Sunday. They shut up livery
stables, barber shops, drug stores and
even cigar shops. They also stopped the
sale of newspapers on Sunday. The
prosecutions and fines were all conduct
cd under provisions of the ancient Sun
day law. In consequence Of this, when
the state Legislature met it repealed the
law, Within the senate-only one vote
in the negative.
The old law. about which so much
has been said and written, Is found be-
low. The reader will find that it con-
tains not word forbidding a man to
kiss his wife on Sunday:
When any justice of the peace shall have per-
soral knowledge that any person is guilty Of
drunkenness, profane swearing, cursng, or
Sabbath breaking, such knowledge shall be
sufficient evidence for such justice of the
peace to render Judgment against him without
previous complaint and warrant, having first
caused such person to be brought before him.
What Next?
1t is we'll known that trace Of gold
has been found in sea water, in solution
with iodine. On the strength Of this
small fact genius for figures has been
making large calculations on what
would happen if genius for invention
should find some feasible way of getting
gold out Of the sea water. There are
400, 900, 900 cubic miles of water in the
sea. The mathematical person has fig
ured out that this amounts to nearly
two trillions Of millions Of tons. He
gives the exact figures, but our space is
too precious to print them.
Now suppose, says the genius, that
each ton Of sea water contained one
tenth to one-ffteenth Of grain of gold,
or perhaps even quarter of grain
that is the amount thus far obtained
the whole ocean would contain some
10,250, 000, 900 tons. If we could get
this, or even part Of it, out Of the
water, then not silver but gold would
be the drug in the market, and million
aires and bankers would in every case
insert in their contracts. payable in sill
ver." But will it ever pay to try to get
the gold out Of the ocean water? Some
scientific professors say it will, and that
the operation will be something like
that now in use for getting salt from sea
water.
