characteristics Of Plants.

Times at which different plants
open and shut their petals have sheen
investigated, and it is commonly
found that the hour varies according
to the amount of moisture in the air.
The main thing is to protect the pol
len from invading moisture, and since
some plants, such as the pimpernel,
promptly close their petals on the near
approach of rain, they serve as wealth
er glasses. Some plants seem to believe
in short days work, the pimpernel,
for instance, opening at in the morn
ing and closing at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, the goatsbeard, on the
other hand, doing business from 8 q.

The Meaning Of "Carat"

The value of a diamond is calcu-
lated on its weight, which is esti.
mated by what are called "carats,''
originally an Indian weight. Four
grains go to the Carat" the value of
which varies slightly in different
countries, and formerly the rule was
that the value of the stone increased
with the square of the weight in
carats. This, however, is rather out
of-date, and the value is now gov

The Season Past and Several Seasons to
 Come at tho Hyperion and Grand
 Opera House.
 The season now closing at the Hype- rion has been a most successful one and G. B. Bunnell informs his patrons that he has been very fortunate in get ting some of the best attractions for the coming season of 1903-4, which promise to outshine the past season. MT. gBunneu takes this opportunity to inform his friends that he is in New Haven to stay and cater to the wants of his patrons as of yore.
 Several of the big attractions that failed to appear here this season will be seen here in the future. The house will be put in first class shape during the summer months.
 The Grand opera house is to be en- tirely renovated with a new interior, provided with all modern improve ments, at a greater cost than ever yet attempted, making it eligible for the presentation of high class attractions, of which more definite explanations will be. given later on, e. ~.,s,.
 Anything wanting between now and July 4th can be referred to MT. Bunnell personally, who will be at the Hyperion office daily to transact business.

THE HOUSE.

Several resolutions paying the bills of stenographers of committees caused no small amount of debate, not so question of how the compensations were fixed All the resolutions were passed.
 The bill providing that not more than $150 could be recovered from a railroad company for 8 trunk lost in transporta- ton was passed after being amended so that in case value greater than $150 could be proven the full amount could be recovered.
 The bill continuing the sewage com- mission came from the senate rejected and the house took similar action.
 The house tackled the problem of senate redistricting again at noon, the first phase of it to come up being the New London county amendment.
 Previous to this recommendation the Holland county amendment, giving Tel land county two senators, was turned Banks, who had voted for the New Lon- don amendment, moved reconsideration of MT. CoiBs amendment.
 When it was reached MT. Colt strong ly urged the adoption of the amend ment.
 The amendment was lost.
 MT. Colt then introduced an amend ment placing Ledyard in the Eight eenth district with New London and Groton.
 The amendment was defated.
 MT. Lanphere of Waterford introduc- ed an amendment adding Waterford to the New London district. It was lost.
 The discussion of the main bill as amended by schedules A, B and c, and the Litchfield county amendment, passed in the house, others followed. MT. Chatfield declared during his re- marks that New Haven county had not been given a fair show, and he as- sured the house that the greatest dis proportion in population existed in that county. The bill as amended was then passed.
 The bill providing that the sheriffs of New Haven and Fairfield counties shall be paid suitable compensation for ser- vices and expenses in preserving the peace during the riots at Waterbury and Bridgeport was passed from the calendar. Another bill giving sheriffs power to appoint deputies with pay to serve in time of emergency was also passed

After my marriage I had indigestion so badly it became chronic. Owing to my con- dition my little baby did not get proper nourishment and was very delicate child. I had about decided to put her on artificial food altogether when the advice of dear old 'Aunty' put baby and I on the right road.
 "She insisted upon my trying Grape Nuts food declaring that it would help me and give baby more nourishment, so to please her I did, trying it for break fast, The result was so marked and so quick that ate it for luncheon too and I must say the change has been won derful I have good health now and baby is strong active child.

ssmt Out by John EG. Bnssett, the Well
 Known Business MaN.
 A most unusual sight was witnessed at the local postoffice last evening, when an express wagon loaded with advertising matter unloaded its con- tents into the receiving department of the office. The advertising was in the form of pamphlets which John E. Bas- sett, the well known sporting goods dealer on Church street, was sending throughout the state. The pamphlets contain much useful information about the care and treatment of dogs and are also descriptive of the Victor talking machine.
 MT. Bassett went to great pains to secure the names of those persons in the state who are interested in the care of dogs. He wrote to every town clerk in Connecticut and secured the number of licensed dogs in the different towns, also the names of the owners. The total number reached 5,473 and each owner will receive one of MT. Bassetts pamphlets. The advertising scheme is new and novel and is illustrative of MT. Bassett's business success.

The smelter referred to in the above dispatch is to be located a short dis tance from the copper properties owned by the Kasaan Bay company. of Kasaan, Alaska, whose interests are largely held in New Haven.
 Recent advices from Kasaan state that the large canning plant owned by the Kasaan Bay company is now en- gagged in making cans for its pack of salmon this season. The new machin- cry that was added to the plant this year (our manager MT James Scott writes) works perfectly and is turning out 800 cases of cans per day. The fishing season commences July 1st, and the company expects to be in full readi- ness to commence canning salmon at the opening of the season.
 The new saw mill plant owned by the Kasaan Bay company, which has taken a year to build and said to be the most complete plant of its kind in Alaska, is now running and has a ca pacity for turning out S0,0OO feet of lumber per day. The equipment of the mill consists in the various kinds of machinery usually required in turning out all kinds of finished lumber and it is believed to be a very profitable addi- tion to the company's interests at KaSaan.
