FoRcE OF GRAVITY.
What Our Average Man Would Weigh
on Mars and on the Sun.

What Our Average Man Would Weigh
on Mars and on the Sun.
If the planet Mars is really inhabited
the people who live there must be an
exceedingly nimble race. The average
weight Of man is about lao pounds,
but the force of gravity on Mars is SO
much less than on the earth that the
40 pound man would weigh only fifty
three pounds IL he were transported
there. With such light weight and still
retaining the same strength, an indiyid-
ual would be able to run with the speed
OF an express train, go skipping over
ten foot walls and do various other
extraordinary things. On the moon q
man would be even lighter.
But on the sun our 14o pound man
would have his troubles. Instead Of
being an airy individual he would
weigh in the neighborhood Of a ton and
thres-quarters. He would probably
have the greatest difficulty in raisin
his hand, for that member would vel:
about 800 pounds.

A sardinian Titbit.

The inhabitants of the mountainous
districts of Sardinia eat large quaint
ties of fermented milk, resembling
koumiss or kephir. 1t is prepared by
allowing the milk of the COW, sheep or
goat to ferment at moderately high
temperature, either spontaneously or
after the addition of bakers yeast, I'M
til it thickens into a more or less con-
sistent homogeneous mass, at which
stage the fermentation is stopped by
plunging the vessel into cold water.
This product. which has sharp acid
favor is eaten either by itself or is
spread as butter upon bread.

toll near East Canaan his employer al- lowed that the high temperature seemed conducive to thirst. "Jim" agreed with him and the man sent a six-year-old girl to one of the Italian houses and when she came back she had three bottles of chestnut sorrel thirst annihllator. "Jim" remarked that it didn't seem quite right to ask the little girl to tote beer in that manner, but the employer that it was "all right" that he had sent her before and that the Italians would give it to her.
 In one of the cases the evidence was given by detective Seaton and Frank Virelli, a Bridgeport Italian who is a member of the state police. Virelli also acted as interpreter during all the testi- mony given Saturday except in the case where he was a witness. Prosecuting agent Williams remarked that he wished to give no cause for criticism therefore debarred Virrei in this instance and the Interpreting was done by Frank DeMato of Ashley Falls.
 Virelli was sent to Canaan to work on the case but it was feared that he was suspected and he was sent to New Mil ford. " The state's evidence was weak in this case but the accused was found guilty on his own admissions.
 Other fines and costs on Saturday were as follows: $56.32, S33.22, $2S.27, $36. I The proceedings were resumed on Monday. "Little Billy" faithful to his promise and to his bond, was on hand, accompanied by his attorney l.. J. Nickerson of West Cornwall. MT. Nickerson asked that the case be ad- journed in order that he might familiar ize himself with its details. Justice Hicks granted the request and set it down for Monday, October 28.
 John Zucco, who took an appeal on Saturday after fine of $85 .15 was inn i posed and who was released on bail fur nished by Clement Kegler, appeared and | uOslucu buO COuIG bI1h6 AO ld,l SllethSCo his mind and was ready to pay the fine. The appeal was therefore vacated and Zucco paid the fine, including S20.00 ad- ditional costs occasioned by the appeal, or total of $10515 A second offender plead guilty and parted with fines and costs amounting to $l00.27.
 i Another Italian, who, knowing that a warrant had been issued for his arrest, came to court of his own volition, ad. mitted his guilt and pad fine and costs, amounting to $39.92.
 At this point the proceedings came to a close as two or three Italians foI whom warrants were issued could not be found. They had been informed by their fellow countrymen that the authorities were on their track and they made good their escape.
 Messrs. Williams and Landon decline to state whether the crusade is to be carried further.
 The 16 cases thus far tried have en riched the town treasury by $160, that being the amount paid by Justice Hicks to treasurer, Collin Monday afternoon.
