he will put a larger force on the no

when the masons took up their trow-.

Widmann stated that the walls would
be done and the roof on the building
before winter sets in and much could
be accomplished on the interior dur

Coral. Of Our own Coast.

It Is a common notion that corals
grow only in tropical and s~ubtropical
waters and that no coral reefs are to
be found along our W familiar
coasts. As a matter of fact, coral
formations stretch all along the Allan
tic coast Of the United States, although
the reefs do not rise SO high that they
project from the water. Some of the
most beautiful of the living c5ial in
the New York aquarium was dredged
up from the Atlantic ocean almost
within sight of the city Of New York,
and there are many coral patches still
closer to the shores. Generally the
northern coral is snow white, although
sometimes it has a delicate brown tint.
Pink coral is found occasionally, but it

LIGHT GUARDS ELECTION.

Captain George F. Hall of the Light Guard has ordered the election to fill the vacancy caused by the resignat ton of Firist Lieutenant Robert L. Walker to be held on Friday. June 5.
 It is said that Second Lieutenant Ed gar Thomas is slated for advancement one grade, and that Sergeant Graves will be the company's choice for second lieutenant.
 Lieutenant Walker resigned imme- diately after his tour of duty at Water bury during the trolley strike. At a prior date he had rendered his resigna- tion. giving as his reason his oonnec- tion with a trades union which he held was inconsistent with membership in the National Guard.
 The first resignation was withdrawn and Walker took and passed examina- tions for the position of first lieutenant Soon came the strike and the call for troops. He served with the other mem- bers of his company and then resigned This time his resignation was accepted

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.

They are Oftentimes the Cause of Col
 lisions at Sea.
 g Speaking of collisions at sea, sea captain recently said:
 saE.'I think I can explain the cause of many collisions which otherwise seem to be mysterious. They arise from the fact that green and red are complement tary colors. Every ship under way carries at night red light burning on her left or port side and green light burning on her right or starboard side. Yet vessels go crashing into each other upon nights when these lights must be plainly visible from their decks. And when the case comes up in court and an effort is made to establish the blame of the accident honest men swear directly opposite to each other and be- lieve they are telling the truth.
 '.The captain of one ship, for instance will swear that he saw a red light on his port bow and held his course. A little later he saw green light there, starboarded his helm, and the collision followed. The men on the other ship swear that where the captain saw green light red light was burning.
 Now, how does this happen? It hap pens this way: The captain looks for awhile intently at the red light on the other vessel. Then for some reason he changes his line of vision proba bly due to a bulging sail above the light, and, To, he sees at once green light. shifts his helm, and, crash, he goes into her! He really does not see any light at all when he looks at the sail, but an optical illusion makes him think he does.
 t. ="Try it yourself. Just gaze intently at a bright red, round object for awhile and then suddenly look at a blank white wall. A green spot will appear to you. Winking the eyes will hasten it's appearance. ."-New York Press.

 to Boston and Return.
 An endurance test for motor cycles will take place on July 3. and 5. the run being from New York to Boston and return. the course running through this city.

Only motor cycles will be eligible, and these will be divided into two classes. class A including all motors of less than two and one-half horse power, and class B including motors Of higher horse pow er The machines will be delivered in- to the care of the referee at Palmer on the arrival o: the cycles at that town and will not be touched by the riders until the start the next morning at 5 o'clock, the hour at which the race will start from each point. The judgment, endurance and ability of the riders will be tested as we'll as the reliability of the machines, and a gold medal will be awarded to the rider whose judgment of pace is keenest. A contest of the same nature was held last year, except that the run was from Boston to New York, the time allowed being two days.
