Safety In Handling Cotton.

Z
cotton shippers are very keenly alive
70 the dangers that attend the handling
Oh their wares. A spark from a cigar
or the smoke stack of an engine may
l"ll upon bale. It sinks in and in
lne haste of loading is not observed.
For weeks it may eat and smolder in
the bale, then at some unexpected mo-
lhent 1t may break out with the most
disastrous results. Heretofore it has
oeen impossible to pack cotton so that
thls contingency might not arise at
any time. There is, however, new
method by which cotton is packed cy-
hndrlcally instead Of the ordinary
square shapes. BY the new process
the packing is SO close and firm that
nre might run all over the outside of
IL and then go out, because there is
not sufficient oxygen in the interior of
the package to conduct the fire or sus-
tain it. This discovery is of great val
ue to shippers, as we'll as ship owners.
Fires in cotton bales have been of
frequent occurrence, and when con-
migration is once started it seems next
70 impossible to put it out. Exposure
70 the air gives the fire just the sup
port it needs, while smothering it down
merely postpones the calamity. In ad-
dition to the" greatly increased safety
OF such cargoes. the new style of pack
ing puts the fiber into much smaller
compass and consequently the bestowal
Is easier and much more cotton can be
carried in given space.

Late SupDera.

The old notion to which hygienists
and many other people have chung so
tenaciously for years, that late sup
pers are harmful, has received rather
violent upset by means of an article
published in a foreign paper, and very
much quoted throughout the extent of
civilized newspaperdom. The writer
says that there are very many per-
sons who are thin and weak, languid
and sometimes dull who are thus be-
cause they do not eat at night when
they very much desire it. 1t is phys
biological fact that no matter what we
are about or what state we may be in,

is restless. and nothing will appease
it's clamor. Sometimes animals will
not go to sleep or become quiet until
they are fed Nervous horses will paw
and prance the night through if they
feel the cravings of hunger. It must
be taken into consideration that the
quantity of food consumed is not above
the normal. If one eats very heartily
at dinner, consuming large amount
of food that digests slowly, the SEN
sation of hunger may be morbid
craving or form of indigestion. But
light eaters owe it to themselves to
satisfy the demands of their appetites
completely before retiring. Simple
food may be taken, but this is not al
was desired. The question, What is
simple food? is very broad one. The
actual definition of the term simplic-
ity as applied to food may be widely
at variance with popular theories on

Singing Spiders.

r. A naturalist who has given many
years of study to some of the smaller
forms of insect life has discovered that
certain sorts of spiders are possessed
of organs, for which there seems to ( e
no use save to create sound. They are
mostly used when the little creatures
are alarmed, although the opinion is
held by some that this is their means
of calling to their mates. The alarm
idea, however, has some support in the
case of the rattlesnake, which is pro-
vided with the means of making it's
presence known whenever an enemy
approaches. Whether the possession
of organs for creating sound is design
ed merely as protection or warning is
a point to which naturalists are giving
careful and enthusiastic attention e

lions two hundred samples Of food
and drink articles were tested. Out
of this number considerably more than
one-Quarter were found to be Of such
poor quality that they were condemned
altogether. Among the articles exam
lned were flour, butter, lard, milk,
chocolate, fresh eggs, green tea, salad
OIL, lemon extracts, and alcohol and
wines OF various sorts. The most OBJ
jectionable article was butter. Out OF
twenty-five samples twelve had from
rs to Is per cent of oleomargarine, two
were entirely made OF oleomargarine,
and two others were compounded from
various materials that rendered them
unfit for food. The milk examination
was most extensive and exhaustive.
Inc commission carried it's examina-
ton through about fifteen hundred
places where milk was sold, finding
nearly one hundred cases of adultera-
ton that made the milk unfit for use.
In many other cases the milk was ex-
tenslvely watered. This was consid-
cred less Objectionable than some of
the other authorizations, and the water
was for the most part apparently pure.

milk powders, chalk and various con-

Liquid Air Steam.

When liquid air is exposed in an
open vessel, it gradually vaporizes, and
the vapor thus formed looks like steam,
except that, as Prof. w. C. Peckham
remarks in an illustrated article in
the Scientific American, it does not
rise in the air, but flows down over the
edges of the dish or cup on all sides.
This falling Of the vapor is due to the
fact that it is heavier than air at or
binary pressures. The hand, placed
near the steamy cloud, feels the power

A Submarine Warshfp.

Both men of science and officers OF
the navy have been greatly interested
in the, successful experiments with the
Holland submarine boat in New York
harbor. The boat is able to run on
the surface at speed of sixteen knots,
and when completely submerged at a
speed of ten knots. A gas engine is
used to drive her on the surface, and
an electric motor, driven by a storage
battery, propels her when she is sub
merged. She stays on an even keel,
and automatic mechanism keeps her at
a constant depth. When diving, with

BETTER TIMES.

The influence of the tremendous war
expenditures of the government, it is
complained, is not felt as yet by the
working classes of the country. This
is offered as an explanation of the fact
that the retail trade fails to exhibit the
life which is supposed to be INSOFAR
able from war times, an expansion Of
the circulating medium, and the in
evitable cheapening of it's purchasing
power. In realty the government has
thus far paid in actual cash but a.
small fraction of the obligation it has
assumed. When payments begin to
be made an era of great prosperity will
have set in.
SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE.
With the Spanish feet in trap the
war will be ended, probably, with a
clap OF thunder. If Cervera attempts
to escape from Santiago he will be
smashed into smithereens by Commo-
dore Schley, and If he remains where
he is the army, under Coppinger and
Shafter, will effect landing, capture
Santiago and make the bay too hot to
hold him. Take whatever course he
may, Cervera's fleet must be ours. and
that may mean the end Of the war.
The rainy season in Cuba began at
a later date this year than usual, which
may Indicate a heavier Tainfall than In
former years. The rains generally be-
gin about the first of May and last UNI
til the latter part of October, but this
year the first heavy rainfall occurred
only week ago.

W1LLINGFORD EVENTS.

Two cars of passing freight train jumped the track just above H, B. Todd & Sons lumber yard about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and caused a gen. eral shake-up on the train. The down track was blocked for several hours. The early evening train south crossed over at Yalesville and came down here on the up track. Several of the trucks on the other cars were badly wrenched and some were broken. The-track and ties were somewhat damaged. A brake man who was on top of one of the de- railed cars saved himself from injury by making bold jump and alighttng on the sand. The big bolts on the in- side of the east rail on the down track were neatly cut off for quite distance by the flanges on the derailed cars. The two cars jumped the frog at the switch near the rubber shop and start ed on the side track.
 There were two weddings at the Holy Trinity church yesterday morning. Tt S:30 George Bellows and Miss Anasta- Sia Whalen were united Rev. Father Sullivan officiating. At 9:30 Thomas F.. Cannon and Miss Julia Isabel Cassin
 were made happy by Rev. Father O'Reilly. Miss Barbara Kenney was bridesmaid and Edward Cannon acted
 as best man. Late in the afternoon the
 newly married couple took hack and
 went to Mt. Carmel and from there took the trolley to New Haven, thereby es- caping their tormenters at the depot. Two marriage licenses we're granted yesterday, to Theodore Baldwin of Mil
 ford and Miss Mary Ester Jacobs of Yalesville, and to Herbert E. Winchell and Miss Bessie A. Clark, both of

ENTERTAL-NlfEN ENTS,
Hyperion Thoater.

JOSEPH MCPHERSON TONIGHT.
 At the Hyperion tonight the Joseph Jefferson comedy company will present Sheridan's great play, "The Rivals" in which MT. Jefferson will be seen in his delightful impersonation of Bob Acres, This play has long been favorite with the public. As 0 dramatic work 1t should certainly be a treat to the pres ent generation of theater-goers. In ad- dition to MT. Jefferson the cast will in- clude Werner Charges as Sir Anthony Absolute, Otis Skinner as Captain Ab- solute, Wilton Lackaye as Sir Lucius O'Trigger George Denham as David, Joseph Warren as Faulkland, Walter B. Woodall as Tag, Ffoliet Paget as Mrs. Malaprop. Elsie Leslie as Lydia Languish, and Blanche Bender as Lucy.
 In this play MT. Jefferson shows all his abilities and sounds the gamut of all quiet and natural emotions. He is the master comedian of this generation that America has yet produced and probably unsurpassed in England.
 There has been big advance sale of oG1LS, puI EOOu SSdlS etlS ollll u DC Op- tained, application for which should be made without delay. It would be wise not to wait for this evening, but secure seats in advance during the day. Prices $2, $1.50 and $1.
 CRANE SATURDAY NIGHT.
 A big house is indicated for MT. Crane in "A Virginia Courtship" on Saturday evening at the Hyperion. The play has made a great hit, and of MT. Cranes ability and great popularity as an actor nothing need be said except in eulogy.

For three weeks it drew a series of large audiences in Chicago and a return engagement is booked for that city this season. In New York the play had ten weeks run, the receipts of which were unpre- cedented. Boston has enthused over the play. MT. Crane has a very conge- nial part in the comedy.
