WAIT FOR THE OUTCOME.
Garbage Question May Be Settled
 Satisfactorily to Everybody.

RAVAcAUNtVAAAy " AvSAybVUys
 Almost everybody you meet about town is chock full of garbage talk, and if half what some of them are saying comes true there will be trou- ble over the present contract before long. There may be cause for fault finding regarding the method pur- would appear that the gentlemen who constitute that department are entitled to a hearing before they are adjudged guilty of any intentional wrong doing Nearly everybody takes the ground that the salary of $500 a month voted to MT Rigney is too large, hut people lose sight of the fact that this is to cover help, coal, wood and other things that enter into the cremation of garbage. That is, 1t is but fair to assume that the board intended that included every thing and it is quite evident that failure to have the matter referred to the board of finance for approval was purely an oversight.& In any case it would be we'll to hear what the commissioners have to say be- fore charging them with aiming to inappropriate public funds. Every member of the health board is well known in Waterbury and so far as the public Knows none of them ever did anything which would warrant anybody in saying that he is not an honest man. In any case they are entitled to full and fair hearing before sentence is passed upon them and after that hearing is held 1t is quite likely that even those who are loudest in denunciation of what has been done will be forced to admit that while the method was wrong the end in view was right.

and careful acting of Edward Condor
who, as the wax dummy, gave startling
neutrality-suspicious. of tho various
members of the waterboard. Hearing
him, no one in the audience could ques.
tion the success of Mr.. Rice's re-
searches into eerebcllumapathy' The
demonstrations given Were as follows:
Particles of brain matter alleged to
have been taken (without PAIN from
the heads of the water board members,
were injected by separate operations,
into the head of the dummy. These
cultures were then developed by the
application of mysterious compound
poured into funnel at the back of
the figure s head A lever was pressed
and the dummy was inspired with life
and was supposed to reveal in Ian
guage, the thoughts of the person from
whom the cultures were taken. The
familiar tones and colloquial charac-
teristics of James +. Hooker, DIR. Henry
Tucker, John Calvin, l.. Il. Holden, and
John l.. Roess were plainly in evidence
but little of definite value as to the
standing of the members on the "burn-
ing question" could be elected.
Finally, combination of cultures was
developed in the hope of securing a
composite mental photograph; but the
result was only a confused mass of jar
gon in which familiar tones and phrases
were strangely intermingled; the dem
onstrator was obliged to employ force
to stop the dummy's mouth and to ad-
nit that he should have 10 give up
the attempt to find out how the board
stands, since we could only know by
his process as well as the members do.
The pride which Brattleboro citizens
take in the First Regiment band as an

terry calls for great deal of cobalt, and
cobalt at two dollars pound, Mr.. Edi-
son feels, would be looked upon as a
luxury by most of those very fortunate
persons whose pocketbooks enable them
to view even the imported gasoline tour

well-being.
Mr.. Edison has inspected cobalt de-
posts in North Carolina. He has been
to Canada. He will go to Missouri. He
has other places on his visiting list. Will
his patient quest be rewarded by sue
cess? That is question that automo-
bile manufacturers are anxiously asking
themselves. No one who knows Mr.. Edi-
son doubts that he has got pretty nearly
what he says he has in his storage bat

type of man who announces that he has

proves that he has not
To invent and perfect an electrical
storage battery for widespread CONNER
cial use has been the dream, the ambi-
ton, of Mr.. Edison for years. Nay, it
has been his hobby, to the practical ex-
clusion of all other scientific investiga-
ton. He has worked day and night
over the problem; he has frequently
thought he stood on the threshold of
success, only to be disappointed the next
day, or week.
In all these years that he has been
struggling with the problem interviewers
have had a hard time to get him to talk
on any subject other than his storage
battery. His fellow scientists have

discoverable when used on paper. Only
when the piece of paper is heated before

Kettle, la the heroines of long ago.
According to Watts Dictionary of
Chemistry" these are the properties of
cobalt: Steel gray, lustrous, crystalline
plates; nearly white when polished !;
hard; somewhat malleable; very ductile
at red heat and upwards; slightly mag
netic, even at full red heat. The COM
pact metal does not oxidize in air at or
binary temperatures"
Chemically, cobalt is classed with iron,
nickel and manganese in the iron group.
In many respects it closely resembles
both iron and nickel, the latter more than
iron. 1t is found associated with silver,
nickel, iron, manganese and bismathl 1t

associates, especially nickel. 1t is seldom

turn of conversation. 1t is scarcely to
be doubted that he has given more time
and thought to the battery than he did
to any one of his many inventions that
are now bene6ting mankind immeas-
urably. Mr.. Edison himself declares that
until he has perfected storage battery
along the lines that he has laid down for
himself he will not feel that he has done
his full share of the worlds work.
When one realizes how earnestly,
and with what singleness of purpose, one
might say, Mr.. Edison has pursued the
problem of the storage battery, does not

Cobalt, this gnome, this evil spirit that

average person. Let us see what it is
and what it does.

by paper manufacturers as blue pig

substance that will give lasting blue to
paper, and, until an artificial ultramarine

for this purpose. Smalt is obtained by

the presence of oxide of cobalt as a
base makes it blue.
So remarkably does cobalt possess the
power of making things blue" to use
common expression, that even the
faintest trace OF it will render iron Stag
distinctly blue. 1t could almost be said,
in all truth, that cobalt, in compound,

Had it not been for cobalt the writers
OF the old fashioned adventure novels

Cobalt, when compounded with oxy-
gen, also gives blue color, and oxide
of cobalt is used exclusively to color
glass, porcelain and pottery. The color
ing properties of cobalt blue, essentially
the oxide of cobalt, is so great that the
addition of one-thousandth part of CO.

make the glass decided blue.
Cobalt blue, as a pigment, is used by
painters and water color workers; they
could not get many effects without it.

more or less widely known blues, have
cobalt for their base. And then there
