A Unique Clock.

1. r. Prindle, jeweler. of Great Bar
rington, has unique clock in his store.
1t is an imported timepiece and is owned
by Mr.. Pearson, the millionaire who re-
sides near Great Darlington. 1t is gold
plated and is about the size of an ordin-
airy alarm clock and is called a gravity
clock for the reason that it winds itself
by rolling slowly down gradually in
clined track about two feet in length.
The case revolves around the works and
attached to the works is weight which
keeps them right side up during their
descent. 1t requires two days for the
clock to complete its journey down the
incline after which it is placed at the
top and starts down again.

CLOCK STARTS THE FIRE
And the House is Warm When the
Owner Chambers from Bed.

And the House is Warm When the
Owner Chambers from Bed.
Here's something that will appeal to
lazy folks:
Joseph Mclean of South Manchester
has continuance for regulating his
steam heating furnace which has proved
both profitable and practicable and can
be rugged up without much expense.
Mr.. Mclean has found that with steam
heat the one trouble is to have the house
remain warm over night. He has found
from past experience that by heating the
house well until retiring time and then
banking the fire, that in the morning
the house will not be as warm as de-
sired. After some experimenting he
struck upon the scheme which he now
has in operation. 1t works like clock
work, and indeed it could hardly be
otherwise as the main part of the rigging
is an alarm clock. He now has the APP
paratus so arranged that by simply set
ting the alarm for o'clock in the morn
ing and going to bed he will have the
house nice and warm when he turns out
at o'clock. Three or four small pull
leys, an alarm clock, two weights and a
few yards of cord are all that are needed
turn hampers and make the invention a
success.

OPINION IS DIVIDED
REGARDING LIBRARY
SOME FAVOR A NEW BUILDING

Others Believe Present Building
Should be Enlarged and Used I'm
til Such Time as it is Possible to
Obtain a Larger More Expensive
Structure Contractor Lorraine has
Plans for Enlargement Canaan
Ladies Much Interested.
The Board of Trade suggestion that
Canaan be provided with better library
facilities and that boys club be form
ed and room provided in which to
hold the meetings, has appealed favora.
bly, to remarkably large number of
citizens and the library proposition in
particular has been the subject of much
discussion during the past week.
Opinion is divided. Some citizens be-
lieve the present building should be en-
larged while others think no change
should be made in it and that an effort
should be inaugurated to obtain the funds
necessary to construct larger, better
building in a more favorable and more
slightly location
Contractor E. r. Lorraine has made
an inspection of the building and finds
that it can easily be enlarged. The plan
for adding one story without construct
ing an addition ON the rear portion of
the lot, contemplates the removal of SIX
Of the eight windows, thus providing
more than 100 square feet of additional
book space, and placing large skylight
In the roof, thus obtaining top-light.
The plan provides for balcony around
the upper portion of the building in
front of the book shelves. This change
would be comparatively inexpensive and
would more than duplicate the present
book space.
Various plans and ideas will be dis
cussed at the meeting of the Board of
Trade Saturday evening and every vii
lager interested i'll any of the PROPOSE
icons is invited to be present.
We find that there are many Canaan
ladies who are intensely interested in
library matters and their presence
would be welcome at Saturday evening"
meeting.

CANAAN HAS ZOO
FEET OF GOOD HOSE
AND 2OO\ FEET NOT so GOOD

"Ht hVSothhheHu 1lC FuICHdSt W
Hose, Ladders, Lanterns, Etc, Also
the Installation Of More Hydrants :
There are Only Six Hydrants in The
Village at the Present Time.
The committee appointed by the Ca
naan Board of Trade to ascertain the
nature and extent Of the fire-fghting
apparatus in the village made their in
vestigation and were prepared to make
report at a meeting of tho Board last
Saturday evening but because of the
storm the meeting was postponed until
Saturday evening of this week
The members of the committee took
the hose from the cart and found il to
consist of 400 feet of which 100 appear
to be brand new, 100 feet in first-clasx
condition, 100 feet In fair condition and
100 feet which are apparently of little
value. Because of the unfavorabls
weather conditions the committee was
not able to have water test of the hose
made but it is not believed that more
than 300 feet of this hose could be re.
lied upon in case of fire.
Two nozzles were found, also one hy-
drant wrench and one hose wrench.
There are no ladders or lanterns, OF If
there are, the committee was unable to
locate them. Neither are there facili-
ties for drying hose.
There are six hydrants in the village.
one near the residence of Miss Sarah
Adam on Elm street, one near the resi-
deRce of A. H. Herman, one in the
park, one at the corner of West Main
and Railroad streets, one at the corner
Of West Main and church streets and
one near the residence of d. w. Marvel
on West Main street.
The committee will suggest that there
should be at least three more hydrants
located as soon as possible, one on Rail-
road street, one on church street and
one near the residence Of George II. Van
Deusen on West Main street.
1t will, of course, be recommended
that more hose be purchased and ways
of providing the purchase price for the
same, as well as ways and means of pro-
curing and maintaining the hydrants,
will be suggested. In fact the whole
question of fire, protection will be
thoroughly discussed and inasmuch as
it is matter which affects every prop
erty owner and every tenant in town,
the meeting deserves to be more largely
attended than have been those recently
held.

The Promise of Autumn.

Poets sing of love in spring,
When the heart is on the wing,
Flying higher, ever higher,l
Seeking the immortal fire.
Every glowing hope is truth,
When the year is in its youth.
But the wild song of the spring,
To me, is not the sweetest thing,
Nor would be an idle strummer
OF the music of the summer.
To me, the golden dreams OF fall,
Which soothe the soul, are best Of all.
Nature, wise in life and death,
Fears not winters icy breath.
In autumn, while the poets weep,
She sinks into a gentle sleep;
And upon her lovely face,
The beauty of her dreams we trace.
Flaming skies and flaming trees,
Spring has nothing rich rs these!
Through this rare autumual fire
Is the dead Years funeral pyre,
Natures dreams are free from pain,
For she will wake and live again.
