SEA SERPENT.

Many persons have professed to have
seen sea serpents, and while the general
belief is that there are no such creatures,
it is likely that those who claim to have
seen them did see things which they hon
estly and very naturally believed to be
sea %serpcnts. A striking example of the
manner in which persons may be de-
ce;ved in this matter has just been given
by DR.. II. Du Bois Raymond in a paper
in which he Describes his experiences on
board of the Scraps in October. 1890.
1t was rather a foggy morning, and the
water was as smooth as glass. The yes
sci was going through the Magellan
Straits. and the hours passed monoto-
nously, until suddenly the passengers
noticed an extraordinary object in the
water some distance away. At once me
cry arose that it could be nothing but'a
sea serpent, and indeed, there seemed to
be excellent grounds for this statement,
snice the object was certainly alive, and
as it moved through the water presented
all the appearance of an immense snake.
That it had a huge head was clear to
every one, and that it was possessed of
an enormous body was manifest from the
manner in which it splashed the water
on all sides.
A powerful telescope was procured and

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS NOT AN IM.
 PROvEMENT.
 This old state of Connecticut with it's eavied reputation as leader of free schools for all it's children, made, the writer thinks, mistake in giving to 8 so.ceIled board of education full power of consolidation, or else the manner in which some towns are using that power is sadly at fault. Your writer fipds him. self in his new home, with two children who need schooling very badly, with 8 good school within quarter of mile or happens to be in the town of Fairfield, while he lives in Easton, just over the line, and the nearest school in town is two miles up long, cold, bleak, wintry road, and no way provided by the town to get the children to or from school, they having con solidated not only the management but the schools as we'll. Formerly this was 8 joint district with 1 Fairfield and they had good and conven. 1 ieut school privileges. It should also be borne in mind that this is quite village with enough children to be entitled to 8 school by itself under the old district management. Secretary Hine says in explaining the new law, that towns may consolidate the management, but not ob- Iiterate the old district lines, which is done here surely. Now the secretary writes your correspondent that he can- not help him in the matter as the towns of Fairfield and Easton have consolidated management. The writer has lived in the woods of Florida and of Louisiana where there was not more people within five miles of either place, than here within one mile of this postC flee, but he could send to school in either place within one mile. The law of the state reads that I must send my children to school, which most sincerely wish to do, but we also ask for place within reasonable dis tance where we can do so. Is it not high time that something should be done in behalf of these children living here in this grand old state within sight of the sea and the pathways of commerce and trade? And where is the practicable part of the envied reputation for educa- tional advantage of which we have heard 1 so much p T'#"

WHO WAS THE GREATEST MAN THAT EVER
 IIVED7
WRITTEN FOR THE BEE. 1

The late Charles A. Dana said In a very able article in the "world renowned Sum-" that in his opinion. Napoleon Bonaparte was the man. In modest little criticism on his statement, we su- swered through Bridgeport paper, that Frederick the Great'' was 8 greater man, for afte@ a seven years' war, he won Selesis, from Maria Theresa, what he started to bold, and died king!
 Every common reader knows that Ma poleon died in exile on the barren rocks of Helena, and that he did not so nearly have "all Europe" against him, as "Fred" did. Montsigne claims that Al. exander the Great was greater military genius than Julius Caesar, and, when we read carefully "Rollin's History" (the most complete history of the Ancient World) we think Montaigne was right for, as the school books say, "Alexander conquered the world" Julius did not, Tamerlane did not, Ghanghis Khan did not, nor did any other hero do it. The most reckless, the most astonishing blunder that eyer was made by any great captain was made by Napoleon Bonaparte when he started with 500, ,00C men to humble Russia. Julius Caesar, Hanibal, Alexander, nUr any other great captain ever made such & terrible mis. take as that! When we consider that Bonaparte had the tactics of all the great captains before him, their concentration of forces upon some exposed wing or position of the enemy, we cannot sec how Dana could call Napoleon ''the greatest man that ever liVed." When one reads up history, he will find in the Afri' can Hanibal as great 8 military genius as has slnce astonished mankind.
 Our great generals in our late Civil wal were all overshadowed by Gen Grants success in consequence of his orders tC all his subordinate officers to all '1move at once," and thereby defeat ''concentra tion" upon our every movement.-[G W. B.

Editorial Notes.

The state sewage commission, the 18th senatorial district being represented in that body by Dr Woodruff of Sherman, former state senator, has just made it's report, which is to be acted on as we understand it, by the present Legislature. The commission intimate m their com munication, which Is 8 long one, and we'll worth reading, that Connecticut can now take action on this problem of sew craze or it can let things drift until we are all deep in trouble and then we'll have harder time to get out than now. The custom of sewering by water-car- riage, emptying everything into streams of rivers and letting the fellows further down stream do the kicking, has gone far enough and too far. The real way to treat sewage Is by spreading it upon the soil. Then nature does not rest. We must come to this and already several communities in the state, notably Mer- i1en, are successfully settling their sew. age and their troubles that way. Cities right on deep tide water arc justified in sewering into the sea. New York's system Is pronounced 8 success. The sea is more than 8 sink; it Is a great labara- tory. Boston, pumping it's sewage to the mouth of the harbor and there liberating 1t on each young ebb tide gets rid of Il all. But New Haven and Bridgeport fai in their attempts to drain into the Sound and both places are rendered malodorous and unhealthful in consequence. Tht Hartford Courant thinks that if the re port wakes up the state to 8 sense of tn, situation the $500 expended will be tn, ieaet outlay for the most result on recorC In state economy. In this connection i is interesting to note Judge Shumway' decision in the Superior court, which sustained by the Supreme court of ap peals, will necessitate an expenditure 0 several hundred thousands of dollars b, the city of Waterbury. The case ha been pending for eight yeare, and is tha of the manufacturing firm of Platt Broth CTS & Co.,, versus the City of Waterbury The suit was for $25, ,OOO damages fo polluting the Naugatuck river, and t.
 secure permanent injunction erioinini the city from emptying sewage into tn stream. The finding of Judge Shumwa, is against the city, restraining 1t iron sewering the Naugatuck river, and $50 was awarded the plaintiffs. The injunC tion relative to sewage is to become op erative April I, 1902.
