FROM ARTHUR PROUDMAN.
Interesting Letter Received from Mer'
 iden Man.

Interesting Letter Received from Mer-
 iden Man.
 The following letter has been received from Wells River, Vt, by The Journal from Arthur W. Proudman, formerly of Proudman Brothers, of Meriden:
 Possibly you have heard of the forest worms that are eating every tree up here: report is nothing, nobody has any idea of their number and of the damage they are doing Whole maple orchards are eaten up. Above Lindenville, Vt., last Thursday two trains were brought to a standstill, the tracks being com pletely covered.
 The western grasshoppers are not in if with them. The worms crawl up the trees in the morning and at night drop to the ground by web. In the morn ing and up to late in the afternoon the bodies of the trees are completely cov- cred with these pests crawling up. A person could gather a bushel basket full in fifteen minutes.
 I suppose this will seem something like a yarn but we had a peculiar acci- dent in the B. t& M. train near Pompa- noosue, Vt, today. We were going at thirty miles per hour when one of the driving wheels fell off and rolled down a bank. The funny part was that the train kept on for about four train lengths and when stopped it had not left the track. A lucky escape for the whole crew.

together, the exposures being made with extreme rapdity.
 The problem is to get as accurate a picture of the wing of moving insect as has been obtained of the foot of a horse running at a 1:40 gait. Now, the wing of a househy is about quarter of an inch long, and thus its path of travel is half an inch in length, or an inch in the round trip. Given 100 vibrations to the second, the wing traverses only 100 inches in that time, as already stated, and so the phenomenon to be observed and registered is well within the record | ing power of the photographic appara- | tus described Of course, however, there may be peculiarities in insect flight eS- pecially difficult to record, just as the 1 wing feathers of birds, according to Professor Muybridge, have an independ- ent motion of their own, turning edge wise in the air and so reducing friction with the latter. This discovery has brought out the fact, hitherto unknown, that birds wings are provided with special system of tendons which give to the animal voluntary control over it's primary feathers
 It has been suggested that the new style of mutoscope or kinetoscope here described might be employed to great advantage for certain educational pur- poses. For example, ribbon, whose pictures would be transferable to a screen could be made to show in brief time the transformation of caterpillar into a moth or of a tadpole into frog. In the same manner the slow perform ance of a snake in shedding its skin might be exhibited. It is very easy to apply the microscope to this form of camera and so it would be possible to study on a great scale the growth and propagation of bacteria, the flow or blood in the arteries of small animal, or any number of other phenomena suit able for the purpose. se.-Correspondence of the Boston Transcript.

WALNUT BEACH.
Items of Interest From Waterbury's
 Seashore Colony.

Items of Interest From Waterbury's
 Seashore Colony.
 The season at this favorably known seashore resort has opened in earnest now. Not only cottage owners are here, but families arrive every day now and bring life and joy to this beautiful place. Since last fall about 12 new cot tages have been built, and while thie is quite an addition, it might be stated that those wishing a place for part of or for all summer, should make haste to secure one. Many engagements have been made weeks ago and to judge by present appearance there will not be a cottage without occupants by July 1. | If is needless to mention all the vir- tues of Walnut Beach as a family re- sort; that it is easily accessible from every direction, and that the sanitary arrangements are perfect is known by every visitor of former seasons. The latest improvement is the laying of double tracks for the trolley line from Stratford to Woodmont. Now the whole distance from Bridgeport to New Ha- ven is doubletracked, there are no more waits at switches and cars run more frequent in general.
 All the necessities of life are brought to the shore daily and sold at city prices. Vegetables and berries usually have the morning dew on when deliv- cred to the cottages, and are lower in price than in the city.
 Beginning next week divine services will be held at the chapel every Sunday. Further particulars about these will be given through this paper at the next correspondence.
 For mail we have rural delivery. Every morning the mail carrier drives over from Milford and visitors who eX- pect to receive letters must have them addressed with name of cottage, Wal nut Beach, Milford, Conn.
 The Waterbury American can be bought every evening at the Old Home stead hotel, and regular subscribers will receive their paper in the same place.
 Long and round clans are as usual in abundance, but those digging for them are cautioned to give the small ones a chance to grow, because if will ling to work for it, everybody can find a mess of the proper size.
 Bathing is considered great sport at this early date, and the whole present population enjoy the refreshing exer- else. Fishing also receives a good share of attention and fine ca tches have been made every day.--Wat aterbury American.

BRIDGEPORT MOVING.
Projected Big Parade of Bicyclists Next
 Week in That City.

HSNiN 4h LAiett CASy. The Bridgeport Telegram says: While l it is conceded on all sides that the bi- cycle parade given by The Post and Tel egram July 5, 1897, reached the limit of bicycle display possible to attain in a city of this size it is generally admitted that an occasional parade of the cyclists is a good thing in every way. Last year efforts were made to have the cy- cling clubs put on a parade July I, but they realized the amount of detail work necessary to make the affair success and they finally backed out.
 This year the Associated Wheelmen have hit upon an idea which is an eX- cellent one. II entails no labor, no fuss or expense, and can be gotten up in hurry. The plan is to hold parade of all of the uniformed bicycle clubs in the city some night next week. No man will be allowed in line unless he wears uniform Several of the clubs have pro cured new uniforms this season and it is we'll that an opportunity 10 snow them in parade be provided.
 The details have not yet been arranged but the idea is to let the clubs come out in their uniforms, each wheel being lighted by at least one lantern. It is thought several hundred will turn out. No special effort will be made to pro- vide prizes, but it is quite likely that couple of banners will be offered to the clubs making the best appearance ana turning out the largest numbers.
 President H. M. Manwaring is an- xious to confer with the presidents ana captains of all the uniformed clubs in town He requests that they see him immediately and that all or the clubs work together to make the aftalr a success. The line of march will be published later.
 The presidents and captains of the uniformed clubs of the city are re- ouested to meet at MT. ManWarlng's store on Friday evening, June 23, at o'clock, to complete arrangements for the parade.

THE BUSHNELL MEMORIAL.
A Vigorous Speech Which Brought Out
 Rounds of Applause

A Vigorous Speech Which Brought Out
 Rounds of Applause.
 Hartford, June 20.-The spirit of econ- omy made it's appearance in the debate in the house which followed a resolution introduced by MT Keneay of Stamford recalling from the office of the secretary of state the resolution making an ap- propriation to the Bushnell Memorial association MT. Eenealy said that it was inconsistent that other similar cp- propriations should be refused and this one granted.
 He was hotly opposed by MT Bree of New Haven, who said that MT. Bush- nells service to the state in providing her with a monitor was well worthy of the recognition it was proposed to give | him.
 MT. Tucker of Ansonia said that the man who was really back of MT. Bush- nell, and to whom the credit was really due, was Nehemiah D. Sperry.
 MT. Bree took exception to this state ment.
 Then came one of the surprises of the session. MT. Meigs of Madison, a white haired member whose voice has been heardly heard before, arose and made a speech straight from his heart with such a true ring oI patriotism to 1t that it was eloquent.
 He had known MT. Bushnell as bdy he said, and knew that he risked his all in the defense of his country. Had it not been for his monitor it would have gone hard with our posts, and the honor of monument was but a small return. He would willingly give his own salary as a representative and he believed all other members would rath- CT do the same than to have the state go back on it's record
 The applause and cheers lasted fully five minutes, so great was the enthusi- asm aroused by the speech and although MT. Kenealy spoke at length again, his resolution was defeated and the original was not recalled.

CIRCULAR LETTER.

 missioner.

Sent Out by the State Highway Com
 missioner.
 State Highway Commissioner James H. Macdonald has sent to all selectmen in the state a circular letter calling at- tention to the new highway or good roads law, which he considers in many ways superior to any former law. In his letter he details the various steps which are necessary to secure the ap- propriation.
 All towns which intend to apply must have their application in by the first day of August next, The law this year is very liberal to the poorer towns Of the state, as it allows such towns three- fourths of the cost of the road. All towns whose valuation is over one mill lion dollars will receive two-thirds of the cost.
 The maximum amount that any town can spend in one year is forty-five hum dred dollars, though double that sum can be spent if desired, but the state will not pay the second years appropri- ation until 1900. This money can be used to build new roads of macadam or telford, 70 reduce grades, and the law will give the widest range possible in road improvement consistent with good. substantial, economical road improve ment leading up to the ultimate perfec- ton of a first-class road system in this state.
 There is wise provision in the law that towns which desire only a small appropriation not to exceed five hum dred dollars, the commissioner has dis cretionary power to let the contract dl- rect to towns without competition from outside parties.
 The towns in this county which are only entitled to two-thirds of the amount expended from the state are Middletown, Cromwell, East Haddam and Portland. All the other towns in the county are entitled to three-fourths of the sum expended.

MT. Ly- man introduced the first mole board blow in this section and invented the iron hub for wagon wheels. A few years after Mir. Cook moved to Man. chester MT. Lyman withdrew from the business, and MT. Cook carried on the business for years. Later he entered in- to a partnership with Patten Fitch of this town, and opened quarry in Bol- ton, and for many years carried on successful business. They had an office in Hartford and many of the walks laid in that city are of stone from their quarry. MT. Cook was a strong repub- lican and served the town in the capac- ity of selectman for several terms. He was justice of the peace for many yeats and had held many other offices of trust He represented the town in the legisla- turc and for many years wes treasurer of the old Turnpike company, which eX- isted before the railroad was introduced through town.
