Smith or Middlefield, chairman, will take up the resolution, Tuesday, ap- pointing Edward F. Strong of Colches- ter a trustee of Bacon academy in that town. United States Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley is at the head of the board and Judge Charles N. Taintor of New York is member. The senate appoint ment is for four years. Bacon academy is one of the oldest institutions of that kind in the sate and has a lasting place in the educational history of Connecti- cut
 Resolutions appointing Henry A. Kin ne of Glastonbury and Owen R. Havens of Rocky Hill commissioners of the Rocky Hill ferry; J. Frank Salter of New London and Frank W. Allen of Groton commissioners of the New Lon don and Groton ferry, will also be heard Tuesday. Senator's Franklin H. Mayberry of East Hartford and Will liam J. Brennan of New London are backing the resolutions.
 Thereare only ten members of the general assembly who sat in the consti- tutional convention in 1902. Senator w. H. H. Wooster of Seymour is the only member of the senate who held a seat in the convention The house members who took a part in the constitutional convention are Speaker Holcomb of Southington, E. Samuel Gillette of Bur lington, Edward Griswold of Guilford, George W. Wallace of Middlebury, Will liam I. Allyn of Ledyard, Thomas O.. Elliott of Pomfret, Owen R. Havens of Rocky Hill and William Henry Hall of Wilmington. The counties of Litch- field, Fairfield and Middlesex have not single member of the legislature who served in the constitutional convention. This is curious fact considering the class of men who were in that body three years ago. The work of the con- vention, however, is embodied in one of the proposed constitutional amend ments that must be disposed of at the present session. Stacks of the journals published by the convention are slowed away in one of the lofts of the capitol, being a forgotten book. But one of these journals will be worth it's weight in gold 100 years from now.
 The deVeIOpmenC or the Legislative journals during the past dozen years has been one of great interest from a public point of view. But the tasks of the session, great as they have become under the new system, will be fairly easy as compared with the work await ing the clerks of the house and senate after the adjournment of the general assembly. Every record that has been made in the two journals will have to be examined by Messrs. Baldwin of the senate and Spafford of the house in the minutest detail, and the index made. showing the history and final disposition made of every measure that has been received by the legislature This is what Virgil would call Hoe opus, his labor" The senate clerk, MT. Baldwin, has had two years in this

field, and MT. Spafford one, giving ann pie experience and equipment. The making of the current journals has be- come an art in itself Each journal will aggregate from 1000 to 1,2OOO pages.
 One of the most interesting changes that has taken place at the capitol with in few years has been the supple menting of the Western Union Tele- graph service by the long distance tel ephone, which has been installed as a permanent adjunct to legislative life. The Western Union service is under the management at the capitol of Miss Say or MiddletoWn, sister of Miss Say Of the Western Union headquarters in this city, and has been highly satisfac- tory through the session. Sheis an ad- mrable operator, performing her work with excellent skill and promptitude. But the bulk of the capitol work is done on the trunk line" The telephone ser vice in the legislature has been of a tempting nature through the winter. and may tend to diminish the feeling that a good many have tried to stir up against the Southern New England company.

priations discarded the district libraries, when going over the itemized list of outlays n behalf of the pubic schools of the state. Representative E. Allen Moore of New Britain, who is mem- Der of the school board in that city, and thoroughly interested ill public school education, became the champion of the district libraries for the "hill towrls,'' where books are not as accessi- ble as they are in city schools. He IS the clerk of the committee on educa- ton, and in that capacity has rendered admirable services through the session. His championing the interests of the outlying school districts is in keeping with his character as representative of the people. Whether the bill will run the gantlet of the appropriations committee after having been discarded is problematical, but it certainly is a deserving measure. The money called for could not be put to better use.
 On account of the absence of ex-Con- gressnan Sperry last week, his time being required in Washington, the hear ing on the bill relating to the Hart ford Life Insurance company was post poned until Thursday of this week. Judge Arthur F. Eggleston of Hart ford will appear at the hearing at the colleague of MT. Sperry, representing the company's interests. Judge Eggle- ston will address the committee in re- lation to the inviolability of contracts, that line of discussion being of special interest in view of the proposition to abolish the safety fund of the company and distribute 1t among the contribut- ing policy-holders. The safety fund system was organized in 1879. Under it the company has paid $2s,000000 m death claims. The sum of $40,O00,000 of insurance is now outstanding under the system. Eight years ago the Hart ford Life was compelled by the unpop- ularity of assessment insurance and the barriers raised against it in New York and Massachusetts, to discontinue that line of underwriting. The assessment business which 1t had on hand at that time has been carried by the company, but no new assessment lives have been written. Two thousand assessment com panies in the country have dropped out Joy the way during the past eight or nine years. The Hartford Life has been the only company of importance that has protected the assessment policy holders through thick and thin.
 The bill introduced by Senator Chat field of New Haven providing for the incorporation of the Peoples Bank and Trust company of New Haven with capital of $10O,000 will be heard by the committee on banks, Senator Atwood of New Britain chairman, Thursday afternoon of this week. On Wednesday, April 26, the committee will give hear ing in regard to the incorporation of the Winthrop Trust company of New London, the bill being from Represent ative Waller of that city.

 Hartford. April 1O.--'The legislature will meet at 11:3O Tuesday morning, the session beginning an hour earlier than has been the custom through the Win- ter. The business on the calendar Of the two houses is increasing and the committee work this week will be pushed to the utmost limit. On Tues day and Wednesday the judiciary com- mittee will be in executive session both days, disposing of most of the meas ures that have been under considera' tion by the committee. It is expected that the contested judgeships in New London, Bristol and East Hartford will be settled and reported before the week is out. The nominations have been in the hands of the judiciary com mittee several weeks and the issues at stake have been canvassed from every point of view. It now looks as if Judge Colt of New London will be reappoint- ed. The appropriations committee will < take up the report of the committee on capitol furniture and grounds Tuesday afternoon, which favors the reconstruc- tion of the upper fioors of the capitol and the continuance of the commission which will be charged with the selection of plans for the new buildings to be used by state officials The entire out lay will be in the neighborhood of $780, 900. The members of the commission as at present constituted are United States Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley the Hon. H. Wales Lines of Meriden
 W. O. Burr of the Hartford Times, ex- Senator Charles c. Cook of West Hart ford and L. W. Robinson of New Ha- ven. The retention of this commission in the service of the state will be re- garded with the utmost satisfaction. The work that will be required in ar ranging for the new state building on Capitol avenue will be carried out by the commission with the fullest appre- citation of the states needs.
 The educational committee, Senator Hammer of Branford, chairman, has completed it's work, and will report its final measures in few days. The last bill that was taken up by the commit tee was one relating to the district li- braries, which are circulated under the direction of the state board of educa- ton.

fertile 10000 acres of fruit ranches.
The excavator travels OH its own
railway tracks OH each side Of the
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relaid ahead
Of the machine.
Tie steel buckets, which have sharp,
cutting edges, move constantly by
means of endless chains, and empty
their load of earth first on one side,
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
the sides of the ditch.
All these movements of the machine
are controlled by one leverman, who
may be seen i'll the cut standing on
the platform on the left of the bucket
He has control of five separate levers
one for raising and lowering the buck.

the right, and another for moving the
ear to the left, and another for moving
| it forward on the side track, and the
fifth controls the engine. The rapid
ty and facility with which all these
movements are made is surprising, es
pecially considering the momentum
and immense weight of the car and
bridge and the excavator's machinery
which is about 300 tons.
