Messrs Kelsey and Lowe Speak of Con-
ditions In Cuba
| Both Israel A. Kelsey and Colonel
John w. Lowe are loud in their praises
Of their recent trip to Havana, and, UNI
der its beneficent effects, feel in the
very best Of health. Their trip was in
teresting, too, in the number of events
which took place during it's course.
They were In Havana on Washington
birthday when every American in Ha-
vana turned out to celebrate the day.
The wreck Of the Maine in the harbor
was decorated with flags and bunting,
and the American troops turned out on
parade In honor Of the occasion.
Another event of interest was the cell
ebration by the Cubans of the anniver-
sary Of their rebellion against Spanish
m1srule, General Gomez at the head of
eleven hundred patriotic Cubans, enter
Ing the city under the escort of the
American troops. During their stay
they visited MORO Castle, but were de-
MED admission on account Of alterations
going on within.
In speaking of the politics and bust
ness Of the island Mr.. Kelsey said that
the merchants Of the island who have
money invested there are more than
anxious for annexation, while the Gu
bans composing the insurrectionists
will be satisfied with nothing less than
independence.

nnecticut sporting In yva.

Plans have been made and two broods
OF birds bought for the experiment OF
propa eating the prairie chicken In this
state. No similar attempt has ever been
made and its success is doubted. There
is at present no law for the protection
Of the birds.
Two important measures have had
hearings before the legislative commit
tee on fish and game. One Of these. q
bill to allow trout from private ponds to
be sold out Of season, was strongly sup
ported by owners of trout ponds on the
ground that the fish were private prop
erty. 1t was vigorously opposed by
sportsmen, who said that 1t would open
the door for selling wild trout out of
season. The bill Is not likely to pass
The second measure, making an open
season for shooting yellow hammers in
the interest of farmers boys" met
with strong opposition from the Con-
necticut Audubon society, which en-
phasized the beauty of the bird its
growing domesticity, and it's value in
extirpating insects. The measure re-
ceived only local support from a group
of farmers in North Haven. and will
probably be defeated.

THE PLANET JUPITER.
New Discovery in Regard to Surfac,
Rotations.

New Discovery in Regard to Surface
Rotations.
Chicago March 2.-Prof. George w
Hough, the astronomer at Dearborn OBJ
servatory in Evanston, has made pub
lie a new discovery in regard to the
surface rotations Of the planet Jupiter,
which is comparatively at variance
with the existing belief.
1t is the general tenet of astronomers,
and the statements are embodied In the
most recent text books on the science,
that the surface rotation of the planet
Jupiter is similar to that Of the sun,
being quickest near the equator and
slowest in the higher attitudes near the
poles.
Basing his conclusions upon long
record of observations extending over
twenty years and which he has just
completed, Prof. Hough announces his
belief that the surface Of the planet
Jupiter rotates upon it's axis In separ-
ate envelopes or strata.
Prof. Hough further discovered In his
long series of observations that the
spots shift in longitude as well as hay
ing a rotary movement, and this also
supports the ring or strata theory, evil
dencing the great instability Of the sur
face and strengthening Prof. Hough's
belief of many years that Jupiter is in
a gaseous or plactic state.

the clever way in which she plays the
