The Vermont correspondent of the
Boston Globe in his letter of last sun
day gave an interesting outline of the
town liquor agency system in Vermont
and showed what everybody knows, of
course, that great deal of liquor is
sold ut the agencies that Is not used
for medicinal and anicalpurposeS.
In SO towns having agencies, represent
ing - per cent Of the population of the
state, the sales last year amounted to
SI4l, 2o7 70 and the profit derived
thcrefrom was SI1.523.jl. Or. in 9th
cr words, 50 cents worth OF liquor
apiece for every man, woman and child
was.purchased ostensibly for necessary
uses. 1t appears, too. that the small
towns sell much more according to
their population than the large towns,
the reason for which j. that I'm large
towns there Is more opportunity To
buy illicit goods. Though the agency
sales foot up a large sum, il l. only a
small proportion of the liquor business

We did not say that the wage-earner
is the worst sufferer from oycr-compe-
tition as a rule. but he probably is in
certain instances, for example in the
"swcat shop system that We mentioned
last week. The farmer i likewise a
serious sufferer. especially in these
days when low transportation charges

Of the farms and practically give them
to the farmers who are able by what

based on the scale OF wages that
prevails in industries that are more
profitable than farming. where labor
unions have got in their work There
is no question but what farm wages
are higher than farmers can afford 10
pay, yet they are not more than
sufficient 10 comfortably support the
laborers. We would not like to see
wages lower, a> we infer that the Her

A Surveying Camera.

a surveying camera, styled the
BridgesLee instrument, is being intro
duced in England. It resembles an or
binary camera, having u brass bound
box with rapid rectilinear lens and
double backs, and the usual ground
glass screen. The camera body turns on
"a horizontal plate having a graduated
rim, over which slides vernier attach
ed to the camera for reading horizontal
angles. A clamping screw fixes the
camera body to the bottom plate, which
plate is mounted OH tripod head pro
vided with leveling screws. On top of
the camera box is fixed rotating level
and telescope mounted on "a horizontal
arm and fitted with a rack adjustment
and scale, permitting vertical angles to
be taken. This telescope has a vertical
wire, which biseCts the picture Oh the
ground glass screen, and Is coplanary
with Il second vertical wire inside the
camera. This wire casts shadow,
which is clearly discernible on the sensi-
tive plate or film when developed, and
thus marks the center line of the pic
ture Behind this wire is a compass,
mounted on rack inside the camera,
by means of which, when a photograph
is to be taken, it can be moved back
until it just fails to touch the plate.
The graduation of the compass card is
carried out on a vertical strip of trans
lucent material, through which the
light passes to the plate, thus photo
graphing thereon the compass bearing.
A horizontal fiber is also placed inside
the body of the camera, similar to the
vertical one, which, when the instru.
ment has been properly leveled, indi'
Gates the true horizon. -Engineering

great surprise to him to see game of
cards going on in the building over
which he had control, and he knew that
if the facts ever came to the ears of the
owner of the building there would be a
janitor looking for job.
"Now, what do you suppose that fell
low did? Why, he just walked over to
that table, kicked it over and sent the
cards and chips flying in all directions.
Then he told us to get out, and to do it
quickly; that he would call the police
and have us pinched.
