GENERAL BICYCLE LAW.

A Review of the Measures Which Go
 Into Effect This Week.
 July b is near at hand, and it might be just as we'll for the big army of wheelmen, as we'll as some others. to read again the provisions of the bicycle laws passed by the recent General As sembly, and which go into effect on that date.

 It is provided that the proper authori- ties may, on special occasions, grant permits to ride, during a specified time on specified roadways, at a greater rate Of speed than ten miles an hour. so that road racing is not shut out
 Other measures passed by the legisla- ture affecting bicyclists are the follow ing:

CONNECTICUT AS A SUMMER RE-
 SORT

More and more New England is com ing to be the one section which attracts visitors from the outside for rest and recreation during the warm months of the year. Just as Florida and Califor- mia are pre-eminently the states to which many Americans travel during the winter months, so the New Eng land states attract a large temporary population for the other sections dur ing Juns July and August and part of September.-Newport News.
 There are no figures extant showing the income of the people of Connecticut from this summer traffic, but 1t is very large, both from transiepts and from permanent cottagers. In Maine an official Inquiry showed that 176,00o per sons were guests at the summer board ing houses in that state, distributed among 190 houses reporting. They gave employment to an average of 15 per house, the wages of such being $61.5O each for the summer term. Connecti- cut may not reach these figures, not withstanding Its 120 miles of coast and it's many more of island towns where the mountain breezes blow and it is a delight merely to exist. It would be a good topic for the bureau of labor sta tistics to consider-summer boarding houses, their wages and profits.
 While 1t is not at all likely that we can approach either Maine or Rhode Island in the glory of our summer cot tages or hotels, we are not so very far behind. Our closeness to New York gives a great advantage to the wealthy people who want to be near the scene of their present or former activity. The fact is that in this state, as well as in others there will soon be no shore lands available for the building of eith- CT cottages or hotels for summer use Sharp men have already bought most of the desirable sites, and settlements on the inferior spots on the rivers must follow The summer money that usu- ally finds its way into Connecticut cas- fly mounts into the millions, and when hard times or cold weather cuts 1t down pessimlsm follows in very dark clouds.-Hartford Post

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
An Interesting Event of July 39-Get Your Smoked Glass

 Your Smoked Glass.
 An annual eclipse of the sun will occur on July 29, which will be visible all over the United States as a partial eclipse In New England it will be the last solar eclipse of the present century. The annual phase of the com ing eclipse begins in the Pacific ocean in longitude west of Greenwich about 125 degrees. and in north latitude 15 degrees. From here the line of cen tral and annual eclipse runs slightly northeast, then east and then south east, crossing Mexico, Cuba (Havana will be near the central line), the ex- treme eastern portion of South Amer ica, travels over the Atlantic ocean and disappears near longitude west of Greenwich about degrees, and in south latitude g degrees.
 This eclipse will not be total any where because even on the central line the moons shadow will fail to reach the earth on account of it's distance from it. Observers situated on the central line at the maximum phase will see the moons dark disc surround ed by ring of sunlight. In New Lon don it will be only a small partial eclipse. Only 37-100 of the suns disc will be covered at the greatest ob- scuration and on the suns southern limb. An annual eclipse and a partial eclipse, Interesting as they both are. are nothing when compared to total ecltpse

A Rare Bird That "Possums" Found
 Near Lisbon Bridge.
 A correspondent from Jewett City says that last week the nest of a black and white creeping warbler (Mniotilta Varia), containing young birds. was found a stones throw from Lisbon bridge. There is no record of the dainty home of this remarkably pretty and sprightly bird having been discov- cred in this locality. except one some years ago. As one apprN ches the nest the cunning bird will rM out at one's feet in seeming great distress. and with sharp cries of pain limp away among the leaves with what seems to be a badly broken wing trailing on the ground. A novice would say "a wound ed bird" but if an attempt be made to overtake and pick it up the deception at once becomes apparent.-New Lon don Day.
