New Disease Is Threatened.

Are Londoners to live on tubes? That
is to say, is oUr great metropolis to have
more substantial foundation than un.
derground railways Of one kind or anoth-
er? Where are people, who do mo- care
to vibrate, going to find peace? Already
those who live over the existing electric
railway under Oxford street find that
their house rooms are in a state of con-
slant oscillation, not unlike that pro-
duccd by feeble earthquake, and as the
process of extension proceeds there will
be few thoroughfares Of any Importance
which are not subject to the tremor-a
malady that turns out to be a nerve irri-
tant few people can endure. The worst
of the outlook is that it is impossible to
anticipate the direction which new lines
will follow, so that house taken upon a
long lease may become subject to tube
vibration. The effect of this new terror
is sure to tell upon the nerves of London.

Popoca-Tepetl.

For many years our school geogra- phies have given the supposed pronun- ,iation of the name Popocatepetl as the name of the famous volcano of Mexico has been spelled. Children have been taught that the last sylla- ble was pronounced as though it were spelled ''pel," and they have pro- nounced the whole name with the ac- cent on the "cat." According to F. P. Hoeck SS Co.,, of the City of Mexico. who have written to the board on geo. graphic names, Washington, in-refer- enee to the pronunciation of the name, the old usage encouraged by the geog- raphies is incorrect. The name con- sists of two words. The first word. Popoca, is accented on the second syl- fable, DO. The second word, tepetl. is accented on the first syllable and is pronounced as though it were spelled "taypel" The name of the volcano is thus pronounced very differently from the common usage in this country. Tn the last report of the board on geo. graphic names the spelling Popoca- tepetl has been authorized. IN. Y. Sun.

d
 Fenton Fails to See Where the I'm
 provements Have Been Made.
 To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir: I was glad to peruse the answer to my feeble letter in your es- teemed paper of the 25th. Though unsigned, think the writer is pretty well acquainted with the existence of things out East. Well, now, let us discuss the matter in a gentlemanly manner and see if his arguments are grounded on facts. 1 am aware that there are good many people living 1n that locality who are unable to pay the cost of improvements, myself ln- cluded, but yet it would be better for Us to go in debt and have our property in good condition, thus enhancing it's value. 1 cannot agree with him in saying that out East has not been neg lected. There has been no improve ments .out there this past fifteen years except very little. Nothing, in fact, in comparison to other parts of the city, and the stagnant growth of that section is due to large landed proprieA tors and the negligence of others. The contemplated Improvements that, are now in process of completion should be done long ago, and make out East what it should be, a thing of beauty. He can go to the top of Pine hill, and take Lick telescope with him, and if his vision is not good he can call on Billy Rigney for assistance; and what can they discover? He can look to the north and can see the beautiful houses, the splendid streets and side walks. He can look to the south and can see that section bristling with life, with Sylvan avenue and Baldwin ave nue in majestic splendor. He can look to the west and see the domain of Al derman Mahaney bristling with side walks and good roads. Let him turn to the east and what does his gaze meet with? Let. me tell him. He can see along Mad river nothing but hen pens. and pig pens, swamps and quag- mires, and he can on a pleasant even ing hear the mournful dirge of the frogs in Porter's frog pond singing a lullaby of the greatness of our past af- dermen from the fifth ward. Then he can ask Rigney to take glance in that direction and tell him to look at the above panorama, and ask him if he can discover copper in Porter's woods. Let me remind your able correspondent that in the near future the eastern section of the city will vie with splen- dor and grandeur with any other sec ton of Waterbury. When that prince ly gift of Mrs Hamilton to the people of Waterbury is complete, and when our walks and streets are in good con- dition we will all look with pride to away out East.
 Respectfully yours,
 THOMAS FENTON.
