Bicycle in n storm.

A Danbury wheelman, who was riding in from Brewster during the storm of last week, received two slight shocks of electricity. It has been said in the past that bicycle was a safe place iu a thunder storm, the theory being that the rubber tires insulated the wheels from the earth and removed the danger.
 But the probability that in a storm the rain gathered upon the tires and the possibility of the metal rims coming in contact with the ground would com plete the circuit for the passage of the electricity seems to explode this theory and makes it certain that bicycle with it's steel frame is dangerous place in a storm. Ex-Copgressman DeForest, while riding his bicycle in Guilford re- cently during storm, received shock and was obliged to dismount. A Chica- go rider was killed by lightning few days sgo.-Danbury News, Aug. 15.

Important Decision.

Judge Welburn of the U. s. Circuit Court, California, rendered decision last week to the effect that Congress has the right to fix the rates for the transportation of troops, or any other government business, including the mails, over any railroad.
 It is said that this decison applies not only to the land grant, but to all the railroads in the country which come un- der the interstate commerce law. In the case of the railroad company in question, the Atlantic & Pacific, it will make difference of $1. .500,0 900 annual Iy in favor of the government.

Why Silver Has Depreciated.

Gold has not appreciated, as the sil- verites claim; it is silver which has de- preoiated in value. And this deprecia tion is due to the increase in the pro- duction of silver. In 1870 the silver product of the United States was one third of the gold product, but in 1892 1t was three times greater than the gold product. In 1870 the silver product of the world was less than one-half of tho gold product. In 1894 the silver pro- duct of the world exceeded the gold product by $35, 100000. No wonder that silver has declined in value.

Overproduction Did It.

The greatly increased production of silver during the last few years is the cause of the greatly reduced market value of silver at present. In 1873 when the demonetization of silver (demoneti- zation means divesting silver of it's value as money) was legalized, the silver dol lar was worth little more than the gold dollar. The silver dollar was then worth $1. 03 or $1 O4. and as its market value was greater than its ID oney value, it had naturally gone out of circulation. the bullion in it being worth more for use in the arts than for the purposes of money. Now the situation is reversed ; the market value of a gold dollar is AZ cents more than that of silver dollar. New Milford Gazette.

THE SUNDAY ROUTE.

We, as 8 country newspaper, don't presume to tell the great New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad sys. tenn how to conduct it's business, yet we make a suggestion which is not alone our own, but is approved by many of our readers.
 It is impossible to reach stations on the Berkshire Division of the railroad from New York on Sunday. True you can get to Canaan on Sunday via Har lem railroad by leaving New York at 9 a. m., making a two hours wait at Bos- ton Corners, and arriving at Canaan at 3.55 p. m. This does not apply, how ever, to other stations on the Berkshire Division as there is no connection here with the g. 55 P. R. & N. E. train.
 A newspaper train of baggage cars leaves New York at about a. m. Sun days and gets to Bridgeport in time to connect with the north bound passenger reaching here at 1915 a. m. A coach might easily be attached to the paper train out of New York enabling persons to reach stations in the Berkshires on Sunday. A passenger train leaves New York Sundays at a.. m., arriving in Bridgeport at 7.45, just ten minutes after the leaving time of the north bound passenger which is 2 35. It seems that it would not interfere materially with the workings of the system if the train could leave New York at $50 and the train on the Berkshire Division leave Bridgeport at 2. 38. thus making a con- nection there, and leaving Canaan at 1O.18 thus running inside the limits of the Connecticut Sunday law. as the state line is only one mile from this sta tion, and twelve minutes is ample time to make the distance.
 As 8 result of petition the N. Y. N. Fl. & H. system have arranged so that south bound passengers from this end of the line may reach New York on Sun- day evening by the way of South Nor walk, instead of going around by Bridgeport as formerly. This route has been in operation since July l.
 If you want to get up this way from New York on Sunday make howl and the railroad company will hear you.
