LAWS THAT ARE IGNORED.

 Their Name Is Legion but Two ol
 Three Will Do For Illustration.
 We should hesitate to venture 6 guess as to the number of Connecticut laws that are pretty generally forgotten or ignored. Let us note, by way of ex- ample two or three that pertain main- 1y to the highways.
 One law specifically commands that every owner of land shall cut down al wild carrots and Canada thistles grow ing theron, or in the highway adjoining so often as to prevent their going tc seed" One doesn't have to travel very far or very long to see the thorough fares with which the requirements of this statute are overlooked. In many localities of the State the highways arc lined with carrots, and the weed Is an alien to the scythe
 Another act prescribes that the se- lectmen of each town shall erect ana maintain ''at every place of intersection of highways guide post which shal not be less than eight feet high and which shall contain certain specified information for the direction of travel CTS. Hundreds of highway intersection which arc barren of guide-post accom- modation may be found in Connecticut If the penalty of $5, which Is provided for every case in which the selectmer refuse or neglect to erect guidposts were enforced 8 great deal of money would be shifted from private pockets to public treasuries. The Selectmen of some towns are scrupulously to ob- serve the law, while those of other towns are equally careful to ignore the measure
 Still another law requires that rails shall be erected and maintained on the sides of highway bridges and along the raised approaches leading to the struc- tures People who travel over the country highways of Connecticut can not fail to notice many railless bridges. The protective restriction which the law calls for is in numerous cases a theory and not condition.
 These instances, selective and not ex- haustlve, might be supplemented by many others of one kind and another A complete census of the statutes that are ignored as much as they are obeye6 would be interesting but humiliating The passion for the enactment of laws is a deal more pronounced than the passion for the enforcement of laws --Hartfagd Times.

CLOTH MADE FROM BARK.
Utilization of the Product of an Africal
 Tree.

Utilization of the Product of an African
 Tree.
 Great possibilities are said to lie in the use of a new tree bark for cloth, a lcng report on which is made to the Department of Commerce and Labor by Consul G. E. Eager, who reports that the German government is greatly in terested in the use of the new bark cloth. He says that the tree from which the cloth is made grows in ex- hautless quantities in East and Central Africa. Samples of the cloth have been and Labor, both bleached and un- bleached specimens, which are kept for exhibition to persons interested. The report says, in part
 "The bark is peeled from the tree and pounded by the natives into a cloth in pieces of from two to two and a half yards in width and four to six yards in length. The tree is of the genus 'tis- GUS, and grows, 1t Is said, in inexhaust- ible quantities all over Central and East Africa. The most iteresting feat ure of the bark seems to be the good spinning possibilities of It's fibre. AL though the staple is rather short, there is no reason why it should not spin and make an admirable mixture with wool for felting or otoher purposes. The crude bark can be treated so as to yield the fibre readily without injury.
 As the treein question can be easily propagated and Is not killed by strip ping off the mark but permits this process for fifty or more successive years, it Is readily seen that this bark product will become a commodity of considerable possibilities. This bark cloth has been on the American market for some time. Articles are manufact- ured from it, such as ladies' shopping bags, card cases, book covers, caps, and hats, table covers, embroidered mats, etc. It will be used extensively on account of its novelty and of the cheapness for making innumerable ar- ticles for the masses.
 Head coverings for men and women of all shapes and kinds made from this oicth are much lighter than straw or other material, and O. much greater porosity, The cloth can be trimmed Ike silk, muslin or velvet; can be dyed in any color. and would answer for mi form caps or helmets for summer wear. as it can easily be waterproofed It is Blocked into any form and stays in shape, and when cemented two thick nesses croSswise it makes a cloth of great strength. In this form 1t is very suitable for mattings for summer cot tages, and could be printed stamped in al lstyles. It would also be an ex- celent and cheap substitute for burlap for walls.

HOW TO FLOAT AND SWIM.

Dog Stroke, Breast stroke-Swimming
 on the Back
 To float go out into the water as far as your waist. Throw yourself on your back facing the shore. Hold your chin up as high as possible.
 This will subn1erge your ears; says a writer in Country Life in America, but don't let this strange sensation worry you. If the water closes over your head simply close your mouth and remain still and stralght-you will go under a second only.
 Now throw your arms out wide be- hind your back and throw out your chest. Hold your chin high. Inhale through the mouth, Exhale through the nose
 You are now in the ideal floating at- titude. Never lift your head. Keep straight and still, chest up, toes show ing chin high and ears submerged.
 Try to float as long as possible. be- cause this exercise forms the bais not only for swimming on the back, and for life saving, but also for sustaining

There is not a single lioness in the

that either Africa or Asia would con

had in anything from an orange-brown
to a yellow green, from vermilion TO

Baby animals are always interesting
and for that reason q group in another
corner of the zoo must attract atten-
ton. 1t is composed of a baby camel
standing at the side of its mother. The
stamp is from Nyassa,. a Portuguese
