Among those in kenosha who were
disappointed at failing to see the me
tcoric showers was Mrs. Thomas Bond.
Twice before has she seen displays and
she eXpec ed to see them during the
pre- ent week. II remember distinct
w. she said, ''the first time that I saw
tae n1eteoric shower. I was a young
girl living in small town in New
York Sixty years ago there was not
so much known about astronomy and
the movements of the heavenly bodies
as today. When the meteoriC showers
appea ed many persons in the i>tle
town thought that the end ofthe world
was approaching. We were at party
that night and staid rather late. When
we were going home we saw showers
of falling stars shooting through the
sky The alarm was given, the bells
were rung; the whole town turned out
on the streets, and there was general
CONSERVATION. 1 can remember that
my one anxiety was to see my father
yain and I asked to be taken to him.
When, however, the display continued
and nobody was injured, we began to
wonder at the strange appearance in
the heavens.
''Thirty-three ears ago in Kenosha
1 saw again the meteoric shower.
Then I knew what it was and was not
alarmed"

agreed to furnish the company with ties
for the road. Andrew Radel, president
of the Bridgeport Traction company,
will drive over the line of the proposed
road this week and make careful in
spection of it. It is expected that if the
road is built as far as Putnam Park that
it will be extended to the Bethel line to
connect with the Danbury and Bethel
road. The South Norwalk Sentinel Sat-

Westport Street Railway line, now owned
tsy a syndicate of capitalists, is to be
extended to Redding and thence to Put
nam Park and Bethel will, it is said,
shortly be verified by the breaking of
ground for the extension. Residents
along the proposed line have already
given their land and others have agreed
to get out the ties. The farmers want
the line built and are giving the projec.
