Odd-Shaped Bottles.

eff anybody had told me-" said a
man whose acquaintance with bottles
is limited, that four bottles could be
placed in a cylindrical holder in such
a manner as to occupy completely all
the space 1 should have thought he
was joshing me, sure; because bottles
are commonly either angular or round.
The bottles were three-sided. They
had two sides fiat, while the third
side was rounded, in the form of a
quarter of circle. Each bottle would
have covered, in fact, just one-Quarter
Of a disk. Standing up in a round
box the angular corners of the four

filled the cylinder snugly.

Birthplace of John Brown

Brown is said to have replied that
he did not fear anything of that sort,
and went on fighting slavery until he
was hanged in Charlestown, Va, in SO.
To-day Torrington considers him the
greatest martyr in the list of those
who have given their lives for their
opinions, the greatest because he is
their particular martyr.
Having been a town of industry
from the start, it is not strange that
manufacturing is still the predomi-

the Naugatuck near the point attract
ed the manufacturers early in the
last century. They wanted WATERPROOF
err and their small mills were built in
the hollows close to the streams. In
1872 a man from Rhode Island began
to make cotton cloth. and it was not
long until a woollen mill was estab-
nshed. In 1915 the brass industry,
which to-day is the most important of
Torrington's long list of industries,
had its beginning in the erection of 4

The Armenians at one time were the

community, but since the massacres in
1896, when at least 5000 of that sect
were murdered in their houses and in
the streets of Constantinople and their
property looted and confiscated. they
have been exceedingly cautious and at

Although Torrington- has been a
town under various names since 1874,
there is little of interest in the early
history and few relics of colonial days
remain. Its one claim for historic
fame lies in the fact that John Brown,
who was so prominent in the early
days of the anti-slavery movement,
which resulted in the civil war, was
born in quaint old farmhouse a
short distance from Torrington. The
house is now one hundred and twelve
years old and is remarkably well pre-
served, in spite of the fact that few
alterations have been made. 1t is vis-

John Brown lived in the old house
until, he was five years old. Then
his father moved to Kansas with his
family. The friend of the black man
made several visits to his birthplace
and was pleased to find a growing
anti-slavery movement. In 1887 the
lines between the opposing parties
were closely drawn, and several fights
occurred at Wolcot-ville when the
anti-slavery adherents tried to hold
meetings there. Brown paid Torring-
ton an extended visit about this time
and was most outspoken against slav-
cry. An old friend of the family felt
called upon to warn him. according
