 Selectman W. c. Russell and C. F. Smith, Town Health Officer Barnett and S. B. Smith and G. H. filling, citi- zens of the town of Orange, appeared before the committee to remonstrate against the overflow from the Boule- yard sewer emptying into West river.
 The remonstrants and the committee listened to remarks of City Engineer Kelly, who assured them that the ca pacity of the Boulevard sewer was such that the conditions which they feared viz, that of flooding the meadows of the West river in the vicinity of the mouth of the overflow would not occur unless there was an extraordinary tide and storm and more than likely not then. The committee voted to send a com munication to the court of common council recommending the filing of the remonstrance.

LECTURE TO TEACHERS.

Delivered Last Evening in United Church
 Dy Miss ara Arnold of Boston.-yalue of
 Proper Ideais-How to IncuIcake Them.
 The second in the course of lectures for the teachers of the public schools of New Haven was delivered at the United church last evening by Miss Sara Ar mold, assistant superintendent of schools in Boston. A large audience was present. Miss Arnold was intro- duced by Superintendent Kendall of the city schools. Mr. Kendall said that it had been expected that Alexander Frye of Boston would be present and deliver the next lecture in the course, but Mir. Frye had written that owing to ill., health he would be unable to be pres- ent. The next lecture will, however, ba given at United church on the evening of March by pr. w. S. Monroe of Pas sadena, Cal, who is prominent writer for educational journals and who has made a special study of the schools in Germany. The subject of his lecture will be Teaching of Geography in the German Schools" :"
 The subject of Miss Arnold's lecture last evening was Moral Training in the Public Schools She said that she once heard a man remark that he would not send his children to public schools, as no morals were taught there. This is the great question con- cerning the schools to-day. What is being done in them to develop to char acters in children which we desire them to possess as men and women? There is a wider, fuller and more complete recognition of ideals in the teachers of the country now that ever before. No question interests ,seachers so much as that of moral training. How uncon- sciously child initiates ideals and how necessary it is to put before him right ideals.
 Miss Arnold then advised the teach CTS present as to the best methods with which to place proper ideals before chil- dren. Her talk was listened to with close attention. She gave a reception to the teachers at the close of the lec- ture.

Chicago, Feb. 21-When James L. Corbett received tonight the news of F'itzsimmons' victory he sent this tele- gram to the champion at Langtry. Tex, there:
 Come to Chicago as soon as you possibly can. I will make a match with you for any amount to fight any place on earth. Arrangements can be made at any place. I leave here to- morrow night and return March 1. Name the day you will be here, be- tween the first and sixth and we will have no trouble agreeing on terms"

1t is the general superstition that the

cussing the matter, he said:

rate of sixteen vibrations second. When
the vibrating string which gives rise to
sound is shortened higher and higher
notes are given out. In this way we pass
from lower to higher octaves and when
the vibration reaches the rate of 320
beats in a second the limit of audibility is
reached.
"As we near this limit the notes be-
come more shrill and continuous, and,

thus be produced ethereal notes, few of

The First Cinderella.

The charming childs story of "Cinder-
ella, or the Glass Slipper" is probab bly, of
Egyptian origin. The hieroglyphics tell
of PIT, captive Persian princess who one
day was surprised on the banks OF the
Nile by the approach of a youth as beau
tiful as the Sun God. The youth would
have caught the princess but the lovely
PIT was swift of foot and made her escape.
However, she left behind her tiny glass
slipper, which the handsome youth treas
ured and set about finding an owner for.
As the youth was no other than prince
of the blood royal, Rameses ii, the orig
inal of the great statue of Memnon, the
singing statue on the banks OF the Nile,
the Princess PIT fed no more when her
princely lover found her. 1t may be said
that Rameses quest was a comparatively
easy one, as the Persians alone made shoes
of glass in those days.

could be easily transmitted from time to
time and often avoid what is now consid-
cred necessary boat service. 1t might be
thought that the flying of kite under
these circumstances would be matter of
extreme difficulty, but kite-fying under
the latest methods has become a science.
What used TO be schoolboys sport has
now become subject of study by profess
sionaI men, and it seems quite likely that
before very long even greater results will
be gained than has been the case at Ports.

As means of signaling, the kite is

but those OF the army, TO be fraught with
great i'm portance when the future is con-
sldered. tits, of course, very much easier
for signal to be seen that IS elevated to
considerable height than one which may

Add to these facts this latest develop
ment, the kite has a telephone wire car
rier, and the indications of lImitless
future are plain. If these experiments
are continued and result as it seems quite
likely they will, it is more than possible
before very many weeks Admiral Bunce
may sit in his cosy quarters aboard the
great cruiser New York, and talk over
feet manuvers with Captain Robley Z.
Evans. sitting in his cabin aboard the bat
ship Indiana, as both lie anchored
down in Hampton Roads.
1t might seem at first thought as if the
ideas this experim ent has suggested-ideas
which are already regarded as facts by
well-posted men--were wholly chimerical.
Not at ALL. Not only are they entirely
practical IN every way, but it is very
likely-so far as the British navy is con-
cerned a certainty--that kite-tying will
hereafter be considered part of the naval
officers education. 1t will be just as
necessary for the Annapolis graduate to
understand the science OF air currents and
their effect upon the kite as it will be for
him to know exactly what he ought to do
when the call sounds through the big
cruiser, IAN hands to action"
The recent experiments with kites at
Governors Island in New York harbor
have concusively proven that 1t is pos
81 bic to send up camera from inside the
lines of one army-the camera being at
tached to kite-and take an accurate
view of the entertainments or position of
the enemy thereby, and to learn in fairly
accurate fashion of their number. On
several occasions this year in New York
photographs have been taken of parades
in this fashion and with the very best pos
sb.e results. To suggest that this could
be done fifteen months ago would have
provoked derision. There is Just as much
reason for not regarding the telephone
kite-fying experiment with credulity as
