An,Innl,r Of the Water Pump.

The water pump OF today Is but an
improvement on n Grecian Invention
which first came into use during the
reign OF Ptolemies Philadelpbos and
Energetes, 2S3 10 POI b. G. The name,
which is very similar In all languages,
Is derived from the Greek word pempo,
to send or throw. The most ancient de-
scrlptlon we have Of water pump is
by Hero Of Alexandria. There Is no
authentic account OF the general use OF
the pump in Germany previous to the
beginning OF the sixteenth century.
At about that time the endless chain
and bucket works for raising water
from mines began TO be replaced by
pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps. like the Pappenham engine.
with two plstons. and the Prince ltu'
pert. with one, were first used. Pumps
with plunger pIstons were invented by
Morland. an Engllshman. In 1914. and

E 2 Pig in Poke. Auction 9 Offers sone Good
 Bargains. The action safe of unclaimed pack ages at the Adams Express uptown office last night, says the Hartford Post, varied from the usual trend of such affairs in that several persons got good bargains, which made the bidding more brisk One man was lucky enough to buy two dozens of dollar watches for $3.25. He sold the lot among the spectators at 50 cents each and realized a good profit. Another man had a case of rare old Madeira wine knocked down to him, while q small stipend secured three handsome sweaters for another man. The great est bargain of the evening came to an Italian who gambled fifteen cents on q small sized packet which turned out to contain two dozen fountain pens of the best make. The find was the more ludicrous in that the purchaser could neither read nor write.
 There was as we'll the usual collec- ton of lingerie, bung starters, can openers, and cork screws, besides snow shovels, farm implements and engines of war. The auction was promotiye of much fun and realized a snug sum to the company. The, articles sold came from offices from all over Con- necticut and southern Massachusetts.

They Take Good Care of Patrons on
 Trip to Coney Island
 The St Joseph's T. A. society excur- sion to Coney Island will be the event of the season.
 The society has given an excursion every year for the past five years and the thousands of people who have at tended it in the past will tell you that St Joseph's excursion is one of the best leaving Waterbury during the summer months. Every one should visit the big city once year. You have six hours in the city as the boat will stop at New York going and coming. If you do not want to stop at New York, you can have from four to five hours at Coney Island. The society never sublets the right to sell refreshments on the boat but handles all refreshments them selves, thereby guaranteeing the very best of treatment to their patrons and always supplying the very best at home prices. No intoxicating drinks are sold on the boat Arrangements have been made with the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad for two special trains to take the party to Bridgeport and return at Bridgeport. The iron steamboat Sirius will be in waiting. An orchestra has been en- gagged to furnish music for dancing, al so brass band for concert music on tue upper deck.
