WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT TUESDAY. OCTOBER 1s
A NEW LAW FOR HYMEN
Professor C. E. Howard Pro-
 poses Extensive Reforms.
NO MORE BRIDES OF TENDER AGE.

Chicago University LectuBer Would
 Not Let Them Marry Until They
 Attain Their Legal NIaJOrity-Dual
 Civil and Religious Ceremonies He
 Calls Serious EviI-His Cure For
 Divorce.
 "The Gretna Green rapid fire mar. riage agency, whether it be at St. Joe, Mich, or Reno, New, is a menace to society.
 ''The so called common law marriage is an unmitigated evil, a removal of marriage from all social control
 "The dual system of having marriage ceremonies performed by either civil officers or by clergymen or by both is illogical, awkward, inconsistent"
 The foregoing are some of the con- clusions with reference to matrimony presented by Professor George Elliott Howard, professorial lecturer at the University of Chicago, in treatise on the ~'History of Matrimonial Institu- tions," recently explained by him in an interview with a reporter of the Chi cago Tribune.
 Abolition of the dual system, repudia tion by statute sof the common law marriage and the achievement of di- vorce reform by popular education of the young are the remedies recommend ell by Professor Howard.
 Concerning common law marriages Professor Howard presents an exhaus- tive digest of the court decisions in ev- cry state and territory.
 While twenty-three states and terri. tories have already sanctioned this form of marriage, and ten others are likely to do so," he says, seventeen states, among them New York, Utah, Mississippi and California, have repu-, diated this informal agreement. This is fact of vast social importance, and in it there is hope for the reformer.
 Professor Howard favors making the age of legal majority the minimum age for entering the marriage rela- tion.
 Of the dual system of marriage cele- bration by both civil officers and cler- gy Professor Howard says:
 "It is an obstacle in the way of the development of the most effective sys- tenn of marriage legislation. It is in- consistent with proper social control. It is awkward and thoroughly illogical to intrust that part of the law on which publicity most depends to two classes of persons"
 Professor Towards suggested rem edy is this:
 Every county should be divided into districts, for each of which registrar should be appointed to license, solem- nize and register all marriages civilly contracted therein and to license, reg ister and attend all religious celebra- tions of marriage"
 In regard to divorce reform he says: ''The lawmaker cannot reach the root of the matter, the fundamental causes of divorce, which are planted deeply in the social system, particularly in false sentiment regarding marriage and the family. They can only be re- moved by more rational principles of education. By carefully drawn and uniform statutes, however, much can be done to render conditions favorable for reform. Collision can be prevent ed and migration done away with"
 The liberal divorce laws which are in force in the United States Professor Howard traces back to the Puritans.

TOBACCO IN THIS SECTION.

TOBACCO IN THIS SECTION.
Colorado Citizen:
The Citizen has referred to the
bacco-producing qualities Of this
county. When the paper was
established here in 1857 there were
many farmers who raised tobacco,
and it was OF good quality, but of
course there was no care used in its
cutting, or any suitable prepare
tons made for it. MIR. John L. Line,
land agent at Rock Island, in
PRODUCES the following testimony as
to the culture of tobacco in his Sec
ton OF the county:
Rev. w. F. Pickett has raised
tobacco on unfertilized land, and
and finds that it natures twelve
and thirteen leaves per stem. The
large heavy yields from 1000 to
1000 pounds per acre crop. Cigar
and wrapper from 400 to 900
pounds per acre crop. Two and
three crops can be raised a season.
G. A. Foote, NJ. D.-There was
grown on his ranch q acres to-
bacco which yielded 1000 pounds
irst crop, and 1900 pounds second
crop, one season. Tobacco has re-
seeded itself on this ranch for fifteen
years.
James Powell grows Connecticut
Seed Leaf and finds it natures
from nine to thirteen leaves per
stem, makes two and three crops
per season.
Louis Herring has grown Sumstra

ANIMAL CHARACTERISTICS.
Some to Which the Emission or NoX'
iOus OdOrs Is II Means of
Protection.

''That the strong Odors emitted by
many living creatures may play a pro-
tective role in their lives has been
often suggested" said an attendant at
the ZOO to a Washington Star man.
"a considerable number of animals, as
is well known, emit strong odors, which
are generally unpleasant. at least to man,
and naturaliste have often considered
these odors as playing an important part
in the biology of the animal. The odor
protects it, and serves to drive away GER
tain enemies. 1t is certain, for example,
that the skunk. whose disaereeable odor
is so strong that it remains from au-
tumn to spring in a place where one OF
the creatures has been killed, is very
generally respected by carniyorous ami
mails. But some other odOrs are hardly
protective. 1t is truethat they then play
another part. They constitute a sec
ondary sexual characteristic, often linn
tied to one sex by which the males and
females find each other out at the mating
season, and which disappears when this
ia over. There are some moths that eX-
hale an OdOr OF musk, Only lHe mdIts
have It, and these only at the mating
season. An Australian duck emits {
marked odor which is restricted to the
male. and is strongest in spring.
But with many animals there are
strong odors that seem to have no sex
ual character and to confer no particular
protection against other animals. In adj
dition it would seem that other odors at
tract enemies. Crows seem to have a
special liking for insects with a strong
odor. Certain birds have a taste for
those m~yriapods that eXhale a marked
odor of prussic acid. Perhaps we must
conclude from these facts that thetastes
of animals, so far as smells are con-
cerned, differ ~sensibly from ours

WHEEL CAR.
Sixteen Steel Trucks and Is the
Largest One Ever Con-
structed.

A perfect car has recently been built
by the Bethlehem Steel company for it's
own use. The company is supplying
some very large castings for a 10000 ton
forging press for the Carnegie Steel
company, and this car is for their trans
portation, says the Engineering Record.
Both iron and steel castings are being
supplied, some of the latter being of
extraordinary size. One of them e.
ouires aboht 325, 900 pounds of steel and
60 Acton open-hearth furnaces are en-
ployed to provide the metal for it,
This car has 16-wheel trucks, connect
ed by bridge trusses, &c feet 10 inches
long and 6 feet deep at the center.
The distance between the king bolts is
Ga feet. The car is 1903 feet 1917 inches
long, over the couplers, 10 feet PA
inches high, and 9 feet 9 inches wide.
1t weighs 1856 ,420 pounds. and has a
rated capacity of 300, 900 pounds. The
largest car hitherto constructed was
probably that used by the Pennsylvania
railroad for transporting a Krupp gun
to the Columbian exposition. 1t also
had 80 wheels, but its rated capacity was
somewhat less than that of the new
car.
