 If the census man could have seen the 2,173 passengers landing from the Saxonia yesterday, he would have real ized that his estimates as to our total population are no longer up to date. America Is a magnet that is drawing more people than ever to its shores, the Saxonia's being the largest pasen- ger list in the history of the port of Boston.-Boston Herald.
 Any influence that stimulates ones interest in the birds that sing and the trees that grow is a benefcent in fiuence. That's what Arbor and Bird day is for in Connecticut. This is the day, and it is primarily designed for the school children. The ethical value of shade and ornamental trees is great and a love for birds is a noble trait. To inculcate in children the knowledge of bircg and trees is worthy of the states effort, and the observance of Arbor and Bird day can't be too gem eral.-Hartford Post.
 The possibility of a third term for President Mckinley is a current news paper topic. His unprecedented popu- Iarity and the apparent disposition of Mir Bryan to run as a Populist candi- date against and conservative demo- crat who may be nominated, furnish the basis for considering his chances. Mark Hanna pooh-poohs the idea. He says: Tt is ridiculous am sure the president never thought of it." MT Hanna also disputes Russell Sage's statement that there will be an enor- nous reaction, saying: Nonsense: MT Sage is an old mana man of the past" Nevertheless things may happen with in the next two years which will make MT Mckinley very glad to retire to private life in March, 1905.

The members of the River and liar
 bor committee of the last house and
 their wives are going to initiate the Mckinley excursion in small way by making junket to the Pacific coast,
 via the gulf ports of Texas, and as they announce that their junket is not to cost the government anything, the bills are probably to be footed by the same parties-the obliging railroads. The alleged object of this junket is to inspect ports. That is good scheme, too, as it induces boards of trade and other commercial bodies of towns hav- ing harbors in need of improvement to stir themselves in properly enter taining the inspectors and their wives, thus making sure that the junketers will not have to spend their own mon ey. It is not within the bounds of probability that any one of these jun keters will acquire any Information about the harbors that he personally inspects- from the deck of a steamboat or the window of a note1-that could not have been acquired just as well. and from the same parties, in the com mittee room at Washington, but per sonal inspection" furnishes the ex- cuse for the junket.

Banker clsws says that bis prophecy


 Banker Clews says that his prophecy made several years ago that New York will become the center of the world does not now seem so visionary as it once did. British pride heretofore has resented borrowing abroad, but now matter of good policy has selected this city in preference to Paris or Berlin for that purpose. This is a very re- markable departure in international finance, emphazing in a most striking manner the present financial strength of the United States and our develop ment from debtor to creditor na- ton, as evidenced by our giving dnan- cial aid to the most powerful empire on the globe. It is the forerunner of the worlds government securities that will find their broadest market here we have demonstrated our immense financial strength before all nations and now make beginning in reaping the reward.

 Outside of Hartford it seems to be the general opinion that the railroad committee will report nnfavorably on the bill of the Connecticut Western railroad for an extension of it's line. The bill is in the interest of syndi- cate of millionaires who want to get some of the business now handled by the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad. The Times of Hartford is very fayorably disposed towards the bill, while the Courant is on the op- posIte side. The Times calls tne Cour- ant the hartford organ or the Consol- dated road ana tue CouranL very goou naIuredIy retorts as FOLLOWS: Our good natured contemporary, the Hart lord Times, is sunerlng the worst at tack ot dyspepsia and mysteries that we have Kno@n It to eAperlence.

According to our nelghDor Speaker Light has set up the rail- road committee and the members of that committee are mere dummies. This is because the Times thinks that an adverse report is coming. People who oppose the extension are to be blacklisted and in word infamy is the sure fate of everybody who cannot somersault on this question as that journal has done.

The Gannet,s Feather shield.

MT. R. Kearton, the English natural ist, describing the headlong descent of the gannet when it plunges into the water in pursuit of it's prey, says that the shock produced by the sudden striking of so heavy a bird against the surface of the sea, after it's swift descent from considerable elevation, would kill some species of birds on the spot; but the gannet is preserved from injury by the extraordinary thickness of it's breast shield, which consists of very strong feathers whose guills are buried in a pad of close-set down which acts like buffer when the bird strikes the water. On the other hand, the heron, which fishes while standing in the water, has it's breast covered with fluffy an3 loosely attached feathers.-Youth'a Compan ion.

= Uuique 5tyls ef Fsny AcrOss ibe PlUer Seine It Has Solved Difficult Problem in Connection
 with Crossing Tidal Streams
A PECULIAR method has been A provided for crossing the.

A PECULIAR method has been "A provided for crossing the
 Seine river at Rouen, France, which solves what has proven diff cult problem for many cities situ- ated on streams that are navigable for ocean-going vessels. It can be described as an s9over-head ferry" and is the joint work of F. Arnodin and A. de Palacio, two French en- gineers of considerable note. It is from pamphlet issued by these gem tlemen that the facts for the follow ing description are taken.
 The crossing of the channels has always been a difficult problem to solve, especially when such channels are near the sea and are thereby sub ject to tides, tidal or ordinary waves, and currents, to which may be added, in northern attitudes, the possibil- ities and risks of frost. All of these problems the "over-head ferry at Rouen has solved satisfactorily. and cheaply. Because of it the channel crossed is left entirely free at all hours without requiring vessels to make any special signals or modify. their rate of speed any more than they would in the case of cross channel ferry. No increase of dis tance or ascent or descent is forced on the traffic in order to cross from one shore to the other.
 Of this so-called ferry MT. E. M. J.. Dellepiane, the American consul at Rouen, says the essential part of the system may be described as hori- zontal railway supported by bridge spanning the channel and built up at such height as will allow the tallest masted vessels frequenting the chan nel to pass beneath. Any kind of bridge may be used, provided the rec tangnlar opening for navigation is.

mensions-height or length--without ,any unreasonable increase in its cost permits it's use over many rivers and inlets requiring easy communication from shore to shore.
 It affords greater speed and more regularity than a boat, allowing twice or three times as many cross ings to be made as with the latter, without being subject to the same causes of Interruption.
 It does not even momentarily inter- rupt navigation, nor does it compel the traffic to make laborious ascents as in the ordinary bridge, or an as- cent and descent to an unpleasant passage through tunnel.
 It realizes the minimum distance to be crossed, as it's course is straight and horizonta1; it consumes very lit tie motive power, and this can be supplied by any kind of motor. Last ly, it is economical in construction

Boston people must ger their beer and wine before eleven o'clock at night or wait until the next day. There is a movement now on foot to have the theaters open earlier so that the pa irons can get out in time to have a beer or luncheon, or both, before eleven o'clock. Perhaps the next thing we will hear is that Boston has es- abolished the nine o'clock curfew bell. Speaking on the question of opening theaters earlier the Boston Herald says: As a mater of faeI, the trend is rather toward making the hour for performances later, rather than earlier. Eight o'clock is certainly early enough for those suburban patrons who go home to dinner after their days work and return on the trains or electrics. Beside this, the tendency in the fashionable circle is to set the dinner hour later and later, as is quite plainly proved by the fact that in New York the theaters. as a rule, do not open until S:15, while number of them announce 8:3O as the hour for their performances. There is only small portion of the theater patrons who go to the hotels after the theater to sup. per, anyway. It would be ridiculous to dfscommode an entire audience for the sake of possibly fifty or seventy five who wish to have wines or beer after the theater.

left. entirely clear; except that arched bridges, which would reduce that rectangular area, must be ex- cluded. Suspension bridges, how ever, owing to the facility they offer for spanning wide channels, the great advantage they possess in per mitting erection by ''launching'' with out any scaffolding interfering with the navigation, the economy of their construction, the area they offer to wind pressure, and, lastly. their lightness and elegance, seem to conn mand preference in the majority of cases.
 The platform of the bridge carries two lines of rails, over which a car riage on small wheels rolls, the mum Der of wheels varying with the weight to be carried.
 The rollers are connected with a movable frame under the line of rails, which may freely move in longi- tudinal direction quite close to the platform and from one end to the other of same. We have thus rudi- mentary vehicle which can cross the. channel without interfering in any way with the opening, which is to re- main clear. In order to make this vehicle of practical use, iron rods or cables are attached to the frame above mentioned, the object of these being to carry platform, called by the French inventors trans-bordeur, or carrier from shore to shore, hang ing at the same level as that of the quays on each bank, but in any case above high water and the reach of the waves.
 The frame can roll over the rails in both directions at pleasure; the suspended carrier can therefore land on one shore or the other at will, as it follows the frame in the same way as the car follows the balloon.
 In order to Obviate any swinging motion which might result from the pressure of the wind or the forward motion of the carrier itself, the rods There passed me where stood beside tho

by which the latter is suspended are arranged in triangles, both in the Longitudinal and transversal direc- tions. There is thus a little railway for crossing the river, with this diff ference, that the body of the vehicle, instead of being above the rails and wheels as usual, is some 40 or 16o feet below these. It possesses, never theless, the speed and regularity of motion which can be obtained on any straight and horizontal railway. line, with the advantage that, thanks to it's long suspension, this new kind of wagon enjoys smoother motion than the best railway coaches, with out the intervention of springs or other expensive and cumbersome ap- pliances in order to modify the vibra- tions.
 The motion of the frame is ob- tained, without expending much power, by means of any motor-the kind most suitable to local circum- stances cable driven by steam, wa ter under high pressure, compressed air, gas or oil, or, better still, by elec- tricity. But in the last case the dynamo, instead of being erected on shore, as the steam engine, is prefer ably placed on the movable frame, which it carries along with itself by means of a pinion working into the teeth of a rack fixed to the bridge.
 Whatever may be the kind of en- zine employed, it must be able to work backward or forward instanta- neously. It may, in fact, be at any mos ment necessary to reverse the direc- tion on account of an unforeseen ob- stacle.
 It will be observed that this is the most favorable solution of the prob lem of crossing maritime channels.

It was idle for republicans to deny that this administration is unfriendly to the rich corporations, in view of the donation it is now openly accepting from them. The Mckinley excursion train will cost not cent less than $5O,- OO0-probably considerably more-and it is being accepted as a gift by MT Mckinley and his fellow travellers. Yet, officers in the Philippines are being tried by conrt-martial for exacting bribes of few thousand dollars from army contractors There is not even a pretense. that any person in the Me Kinley train is paying a cent for the trip. The Pullman monopoly furnishes the cars, and each railroad over which it passes furnishes the motive power and the eatables. drinkables ,etc, dur ing its transit over it's lines, and the bill of fare is as good as that furnished by the most expensive hotels. No man of ordinary intelligence believes that corporations give away money without exacting it's return in fayors of some sort. Mir Mckinley knew that when he accepted this donation that he in- cured an obligation to the donors which would sooner or later have to be met, and the intelligent people of this country knew it, too, and will doubtless express their opinion of the transaction, at the polls, when their next opportunity comes.
