Chauncey F. Reed to Build a New Res
 idence-Incidents of the Recent Fire
 Willis Dickerman Remarkably Active
 for His Age.
 The residence of Chauncey F. Reed on Forest street, Westville, which was TO- tally destroyed by fire early on the morning of January 8, is to be replaced by a building of more modern design on the site of the old one. The former building was erected many years ago ty Willis Dickerman, uncle of Mrs Reed, and son of the late Deacon Isaac Dick erman. The latter erected the old Dick erman homestead. where he lived and passed away, on the corner of West Elm and Forest streets, near the scene of the fire Willis Dickerman was for merly a resident of Burr street annex, but is now living at the old homestead with his wife.
 The insurance has been adjusted on the burned property and MT. Reed and his son Louis are now at work super vising the excavation of the cellar pre- paratory to building new house, MT. Reed and his son, who are both first class carpenters and have erected many buildings under contract, are going to build the house in accordance with their own plans and ideas of what an up-to- date residence ought to be. The plans have already been completed, and it is hoped to have the residence ready for occupancy by May l.
 The large, full-blooded St. Bernard dog belonging to MT Reed, who un- doubtedly saved the whole family from being suffocated by the stif1ing smoke by awakening MT. Reeds daughter Jes- sic. is a great favorite with the neigh bors and is a handsome and valuable animal Although MT. Reed at one time before the fire thought strongly of selling him, he would not now part with him for any consideration.
 At all fires there are some iudicrous incidents and this one was not without exception. Among the few things saved from the Reed residence was a globe containing a roach which had been caught by hook and line and domiciled in the aforesaid globe. The smoke, it was thought, had killed the fish and the globe was carelessly laid on the

 Haven Business Man.

He was formerly for years fruit merchant on Chapel street, occu- pying what is now Judsons store, and later was associated with Colonel A. J. Beers in the wholesale fruit business on State street He began business life as a natter, having learned that trade He was clerk In a dry goods store in New Milford just before coming here and his first employment in this city was in the same line at Mygatt'e store and later at Alden & Huntington's firms long since out of business.

ground on a side hill back of the house. It toppled over, spilling out nearly all the water, but what was left froze up solid and 1t was quite surprise, upon thawing 1t out, to find that the fish was as lively as ever and not even the globe was cracked with all the rough ham, ding it had sustained.
 Mr. Reed, who has been a very busy man since the fire, says that he wishes to express his thanks, although little late in so doing, to the firemen for their efficient service and to the netghbors and friends who extended a helping hand and timely assistance and sym pathy on the morning of the fire.
 Willis Dickerman although eighty five years old, did good service at the fire, assisting in many ways and was much livelier than many men forty years younger.
 Mr Dickerman, who was formerly a cooper by trade, but has not worked at his trade for many years, has completed a set of oaken well buckets for MT. Reed, who prizes them very highly.

The work is extremely broad and dignifled and is looked upon as one of the great composers master pieces The entire evenings pro- gramme was made up of Sullivan's mu- sic.
 There was also very interesting a1- dress by the Rev. Dr. Lines on the life and work of the composer. The address was greatly enjoyed and was one of the most pleasing numbers of the pro- gramme.
 There was an orchestra of ten pieces, composed of members of the Symphony orchestra, that rendered beautiful mu- sic and the director of the music was Frederick S. Weld.
 Mir. Weld sang the Lost Chord in excellent voice.
 The choir, which was increased in numbers, sang three anthems and two hymns by Sir Arthur Sullivan.

tons are made from copper plates in
just the size and shape required to fit
the globe that they are intended for,
one set, of course, covering the entire

many of them, like dress patterns, on
sheets of the finest linen paper, and
are cut out carefully with a sharp
pointed knife.
When they nave been pasted on, the
different countries are tinted by hand
with water colors. There is no spe-
cial rule for this, except that contrasts
are aimed at as a help to the eye of
the user. Finally, the whole is over
laid with a brilliant white varnish,
which is of almost metallic hardness,
and will wear indefinitely without
scratching or losing its brightness.

GlObe...

First, the model is covered with a
thick layer of pasteboard in a moist
state. When it is dry, a sharp knife is
passed around it SO as to separate the
pasteboard coat into two hemispher-
ical shells, which are then taken off
the model and united at the cut edges
with glue. The hollow sphere thus
formed is the skeleton of the globe
that is to be.
The next thing is to cover it with a
coating of white enamel, about one
eighth of an inch in thickness When
this is done the ball is turned into a
perfect roundness by a machine. The
iron rod running through the center
of the original model, and projecting
at both ends through the surface, has
left holes in the new globe, which
serve for the north and south poles,
and through these a metal axis is run
to represent the axis of the earth.
Then the surface is marked off with

The English pheasant is a non-
aquatic bird, therefore an English
scientists observation that newly
Matched birds of the age of 80 hours
swim easily, show apt leg movements
and exhibit few signs of distress is of
singular interest. The question is now
asked. Is the swimming habit a throw
back or reversion to an antecedent
state in the history of this land-living
species, or is it to be regarded as an
example of a direct and sudden adapta-
ton to a new environment? The ques-
ton has an important bearing on GER
tain obvious biological problems.
Speculations regarding the age of the
world we live in are of strictly rela-
tive nature. They require to be con-
sidered in relation to many other cir
cumstances, whereof the cooling of the
globe is one and the time occupied in
the formation of strata another. The
battle between the physicists and the
geologists over this latter question still
proceeds. The former incline to set a
definite limit to the geological aeons;
the latter decline to be bound by such
restrictions. A member of a British
royal scientific association asserts that
