he manifests preference for likeness MT. Taylor loses faith in him.
 MT. Taylor had an experience this morning which confirms him in this be- lief in the work test" Some time since say a week or ten days ago, a man was released from the state prison. He was given new suit of clothes and had really & very presentable appear ance. The man wanted his fare to Newark, N. J., where he was certain he could obtain work. MT. Taylor had his misgivings about the truth of the fellows statements, but he did not like to condemn him until he had for feited his confidence. He. consulted with members of his board and it was decided to buy the fellows ticket to Newark and bive him chance.
 This morning Mr. Taylor was return to the capitol from the Union station, having left recently discharged con- vlct on board a New Haven train, when he saw the man who had succeeded in getting his fare paid to Newark, sit ting on a seat. In appearance he was tyuical hobo, unwashed, unkempt and ragged. He was literally and fig urately on his ''uppers.'' He asked MT. Taylor for money, and when MT. Saylor asked him to explain his condi- ton he said he had been robbed in a cheap boarding house in Newark, and given in place of the natty suit that he wore on his release, the miserable look |. ing garments which he had on. The story was very fishy and MT. Taylor did not believe it. He told the fellow that he would give him no money but would set him to work at once at S1.5( a day. The fellow objected to working in Hartford, saying he feared his iden. tity would be revealed Mr. Taylor promised him all the exclusion that ht desired and would see to it he had a comfortable room to sleep in, Still tht fellow objected to work in Hartford and MT. Taylor reminding him of hi prison record, said he had been il many other prisons and that he woul( be no worse off working in Hartfor( than elsewhere. Nothing that Mir. Fay Tor could say to him by way of advic
 could move the fellow. He had tn hoolkworm in his system.

His heir prefers a cut of roat beef and pint of bitter to any vegetables, how ever perfectly cooked, and finds himself condemned to diet which heh dislikes and which does not suit him. The arti- cles and lectures are also trying to a man who cares nothing for literary work and has no gift for public speak ing.

wHALus snNsR ov HnARrNo.


 It seems perfectly evident that whales must hear when in the water. This in- ference is confirmed by the compara- lively small development of the sense organs. The eye, for instance, is very small, and can be of little use even at the comparatively small depths to which whales are now believed to des- cend.
 Again, the sense of smell, judging from the rudimentary conditions of the olfactory organs, must be ln abeyanoei and whales have no sense organs com- parable to the lateral line system of fishes Consequently, it would seem that when below thet surface of the water they must depend chiefly upon the sense of hearing, Probably this so highly developed as to enable the animals, In the midst of the vibrations nave by the screw like movements of the tail, or iukes, to distinguish the sound for the vibrations) made by the impact of water against rocks, even in o dead calm, and, in the case of pisciv- orous species, to recognize by the pulse in the water the presence of shoal of , fish.
 Failing this explanation. it is difficult to imagine how whales can find their way about in the semi darkness and avoid collisions with hooks and rock bound coasts.-Lond(n Field.

MOTOR BOAT RACE.
One Being Arranged for Saturday Af-

One Being Arranged for Saturday Af-
 ternoon, August 20.
 The Naugatuck Valley Motor Boat club is making arrangements for a race and a carnival to be given on the Housatonic river on Saturday after noon and evening, August 25. It is proposed to have a twenty-mile race in the afternoon, and in the evening to hold carnival, which 1t is hoped will attract the people and will help pay the expenses of the club. The race is to be a handicap, and Charles Gordon has been appointed official mtasurer.
 The last race that was held on the river was very interesting one and attracted a good deal of attention from people who are interested in boating. t Is believed that the proposed one will be even more interesting than the for mer.
 It has been suggested that if the club could get some of the fast motor boats to come, here from Bridgeport and run down the river it would add greatly to the interest in the race. The Stern Brothers owners of the Vida May, the fastest motor boat owned in Bridge port, came up the river Sunday in their boat, and the boat attracted a good deal of attention. The boat was not driven very fast. but even then it seemed to be moving like the wind, It is said that if the boat was run up and down the river, as the objects on the bank of which are near enough to make it possible to measure the speed at which the boat is traveling, the peo- pie would hold their breath in aston ishment to see the little craft slide along. through the water. There, speed seems to be a good deal faster than when she was running on the Sound.

ONE WAY TO BEAT THE GAME.

ONE WAY ID BEAT HE JAMIE,
 Capt. Harry struve spent Christmas in this city with his relatives and re- turned to San Francisco, from which place he will shortly go back to the Orient. He was renarking to Louis Cohen that the old town looked pretty lively for a closed one.
 "Yes. business is good and still there nothing doin' among the gamblers, " said Louis. Then he asked: There must be a lot gambling out east of suez, as Kipllng calls the orient?"
 Yep, they're hot gamblers out there, said Capt struve. You know Portu- gal owns little place on the China coast that they call Maceo, and they run as big games there as they do at Monte Carlo. I never went up against | it, but they say fellow stands an even break there, They're careful to avoid scandals. Occasionally when a fellow goes broke and commits suicide they will put gold and silver and bills in his pockets so that when the police search the body no one can say he killed him. self because he lost all his dough.
 T was told a story about fellow from Colorado who got onto that game and worked it to the finish. He bley his money on the wrong card and set up a great holer He went out In some bushes on the grounds and fired a shot. When the attendants found him he was froaning and writhing. They stuffed a bunch of money in his clothes and then called for the police. But before the po- lice arrived he skipped out"

Hard Work for a Vegetarian's Heir
 German Soldiers Photograph.
 Thirty thousand pounds is a nice lump sum, but not long ago the Town Council of Thur, in Switzerland, un- hesitatingly refused that amount of money It was left to his native place by wealthy brewer named Teller, with the stipulation that one man whom he had always disliked should be deprived of his office of Town Clerk and that another object of his aversion should never again be reelected to the school Board. The town took the will into court, says London Tit-Bits, but could not alter 1t, so the money went to the Swiss Government.
 The wills of men who attempt after their death to wreak their hate upon the living always cause trouble. Har- vey Scott, who died in Canada, hated his heirs, so he directed his executors to burn 95,0O0 in bank notes. But the law says that a man who burns bank notes is guilty of arson. The executors
 
 and so render themselves liable to pro- secution and al sorts of legal compll- cation are the result.
 A year or sc ago the sum of G65,000 was left by an uncle who resided in Germany to young Edinburgh man, but the conditions make the legacy a difficult one to win. The legatee must A vs.tA9 e.. teen different countries specified, and after two years return home and write book upon what he has seen. This book is to be submitted to certain authorities specified by name, and these are to give their opinion upon it. If this is favorable, well and good; the money will be paid over; if not, the un- fortunate legatee must again start off on his travels and make second att tempt in the necessary standard of excellence.
 Wills which forbid heirs to marry ce, >Nln people or to marry at all be- ->Agtain age are productive of { ES.s tfoIble, and those which make particular marriage the condition of a legacy are still worse, Nearly nfteen years ago a Manchester banker died, leaving all his fortune to his adopted son on condition that the latter found and married the bankers grand-daugh- ter.
 This lady was the daughter of the dead mans eldest son with whom he had quarreled many years before, and who had emlgrated to New South Vale The heir obediently set off for Aus tralia, and succeeded after great dif- ficulty in finding the granddaughter only to discover, that as the result of an accident, she was a hopeless para lytic. Of course, marriage was out of the question, but he promptly offered to share the money with her, half and half. Her mother, hoWsYer, sass was
