An instrument has recently been
 invented for recording the depth of water, and which makes pen record something on the principle of the machine which records the rough places in a railroad track. A slab of metal attached to a rope is dragged over the bottom by a boat moving slowly. The other end of the rope extends over pulleys to the charting room, where a pen records the ups and downs, or peaks and valleys of the bottom, making a typographical map. Experts know now to translate these tracings into feet or fathoms. The results are much more accurate and vastly quicker than the cid method of sounding with hand line.

.AT THE NEW HAVEN THEATER
THE NEW EIGHT BELLS
Famous Brothers Byrnes First of the Week in Their
 Great Play.

The famous Brothers Byrne, the .quartette of fun makers. who have
 amused so many people by their gro- tesque acrobatic specialties. will ap-
 pear at the New Haven theater Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights next week, with matinee Wednesday, in the nautical pantomine comedy, the new
 Flight Bells. 1" Almost from the time the curtain rises on the first act until it falls after the last one, the audience is looking and laughing at the Byrne Brothers. Only one of them has any | thing particular to say. The other brothers carry their part in pantomime. The scenery of Flight Bells7 Is con structed especially for these agile brothers, and they go sailing through the windows, jumping headlong through | the sides of the houses, and tumbling through a trick coach In the most reck- less and startling manner. The best | scene is In the second act, when the in terior of adjoining staterooms on an ocean steamer Is shown to the audi ence. The staterooms are occupied by the Byrne Brothers, and while the shin | is rolling in the waves, they introduce some of their best acrobatic turns. This
 act ends with terrible storm at sea
 which rocks the ship so much that she
 finally turns completely over, and the
 inhabitants of the two staterooms are
 whirled about in way that is most as-
 tonishing There is a large cast oi
 characters in the production of the new
 Flight Bells'and many medleys, songs 1 dances and limitations. Some pretty
 and vivacious young women figure ir
 the entertainment, and the plot running
 through it is funny in it's situation.

A GREAT HIT.
Klaw & Erlanger's Production of ''The
 Round Up"


 Klaw & Erlanger's production of Edmund Days drama The Round Up," which now holds the stage at thet New Amsterdam theater in New York, is proving the greatest popular success ever presented at this house. The scenes of the play are laid in southwestern Arizona, and the produc- ton in every aspect most graphically represents this locale. The story is told in four acts, the scenes represent ing Jim Aliens ranch on the Sweet water, the living room at Payson's ranch, a canyon in the bad lands on the borders of Mexico and the round up on the sweetwater range. The types of character introduced in the play represent cattle owners, cow boys, women of the west, Apache In- dians, rough riders and cava1rymen. The great feature of the production is the wonderfully vivid and realistic battle scene in the third act, Jack Payson, who, by deceit, has won the sweetheart of Dick Lane, mining en- gineer, is forced by circumstances to reveal his perfldy to his wife. She sends him to find Dick Lane that she may tell him herself that she had no part in this deception. Payson, who is really a noble hearted fellow, in sanely in love with Echo, finds Dick dying of thirst in the "bad lands" and offers him his horse and mule and wa | ter supply to return to Echo
 At this juncture both men are att tackled by band of maurauding Apache Indians, who have escaped from the reservation at Fort Grant and wonderfully thrilling battle scene ensues, which Is brought to q climax by the arrival of Slim" Hoov, CT, the sheriff, supported by a trooI of cavalrymen. In the fight, Dich Lane is killed and Jack almost mortal ly wounded The rise of the curtain in the third act reveals a pass witf sixteen Indians riding along the edgt of precipice. This is an actual reali ty of q magniture never before at tempted in any production.
 The scene of the last act Is anothe remarkable example of stage realism l it presenting an exact reproduction 0 cattle round. up, with comboys rid ing bucklng horses. MT. Days stor told in this piece is a viriled romanti
 tale and one that actually fascinate
 the audience from the rise of the cur
 tain. The central character is Slim
 Hoover, the sheriff of Pinal Count,
 Arizona, played by Maclyn Arbuckl and in this character he has made th greatest success of his many suecesse on the stage. "The Round Up" drawing the largest audiences in Il history of the New Amsterdam theatt 2 and will continue the attraction { B this house for several weeks to com

BUTTERFLIES AT TIE BIl0U. JOHN DREW'S GREAT PLAY Story skillfully Woven About Members of the New York
 Stock Exchange.

Polls Own Stock company will next week at the Bijou present Henry Guy Carleton's bright and clever comedy, The Butterflies" This play was first produced with John Drew and Maude Adams in the cast and the history of the piece has been one entire score of success.
 The story of the play is skillfully woven about members of New YorlS's exclusive set. The. most prominent "figure is that of Frederick Ossian, son of a widow, who is known as a society butterfly. The son is honest enough, but extravagant He spends his for tune, runs into debt and ends by falI- ing in love with Miriam Dodge, the beautiful daughter of Mrs. Stuart Dodge a wealthy leader in New York society. Mrs. Dodge naturally enough

opposes the match because of the pov- erty of young 0sslan.
 Hiram Green. a self-made man aud Fred's guardian, finds argument with the young man to. be of no avail and decides to adopt more drastic meas- tres Fred is staying at MT Greens residence at st. Augustine, Fla, and to that place Mr. Green brings MT. Bilser the tailor of New York's fash- inable set and to whom Fred owes a large bill for the purpose of having MT. Bilser dun Fred
 Green succeeds in making Fred un- derstand that he is wasting his oppor- tunities, worrying his mother and rap idly becoming a man of absolutely no account The Ossian estate is finally converted into cash, Fred's bills are paid and he starts work.
 There are four affairs of the heart in the play and endless complications, but of course everything ends as 1t should. Although the story of the play sounds startlingly serious, there is as a matter of fact hardly g serious moment in the play and the comedy of the piece is contributed to by each character.
 The first two acts take place at MT, Greens home in St. Augustine, Flori- da, in and about the home of MT. Green. The third act is laid at MT. Greens residence in Lenox, Mass.
 For "The Butterflies" the company is cast as follows:
 Frederick Ossian Richard Gordon { Andrew Strong ....,..... Lynn Osborn Hiram Green ............ Frank Kirke Burlington. ...... James c. Spottswocd Roscoe Bilser. ........ Robert Lee Allen 1 Coddle .,.......... Frederick Esmelton Mrs 0ssian .......,..... Jewel Power Mrs. Beverly Stuart odge...........s=

 The biz wagon carrying the derrick and winch for the drill was wheeled into position, and small hole dug for starter In this was erected a long pipe into which the drill itself was placed. The drill is about thirty feet long, with the lower end of a semi circular shape. Then the winch was started. and the drill turned each stroke by man who stood on the der rick. After hole about ten feet deep had been drilled, the temporary pipe

RAILROADS KILL 70 A DAY.

The statistics for the year ending March
81, 1906, show that If the graves of those
killed on the railways during that period
were distributed along our 2I6,973 miles
of operated track, there would be head
stone every twen,y-on miles, while a
similar distribution of the NAMED would
place a cripple at every two and one-half
miles, says the Literary Digest The
figures are e,7o3 killed and S6,ooS in
jured. The railroads of the country are
killing men, women, and children at The
rate of twentysix day, and injuring 237
a day. The record of collisions and de-
railments for the period defined gives a
total OF 1918, one every ninety minutes,
or enc TO every sixteen and a half miles
track. There were 3,7IS employees
killed in the year ending March 81. 1906,
and since there are 1852, 100 employees
of railways in the United States. il is seen
that one out of every 57I.7 was killed.
During the same year 1926 employees
were injured, which means one out Of
every 2S.
This, in palmer wor!s. tells that the
railroad service is so hazardous that a
man who enters il stands one chance in
twenty eight of being injured. and one
chance in BLY, of being killed. This
risk OF mortality is almost as great as if
he barred his breasts 10 the bullets of mod
ern warfare, and, indeed, if the war with
Spain be taken as all example it is quite
probable that he would have stood
better chance e life and freedom from
injury by entering the army than by ell
tering the railroad service. Passengers
have much less danger to fear. During
the year just mentioned there were only
4e2 passengers killed out of 1854, 667 or
one out of 1901 ,694 II thus appears
that the person who buys a ticket OH a
railroad i'll the United States and boards
a train has one chance against a million
and a half of being killed.

IT is not true, as was recently asserted

IT is not true, as was recently asser'eo
by Speaker Cannon, "that what Is the
matter with this country is too much
prosperity" and the statement was pro-
bably not intended to be literally accept
ed. But it is unquestionably true that
the possession of long-continued prosper
ity. as compared with other years and
other periods in our country's history, is
giving encouragement to the disciples Of
doctrines which receive little attention in
DAYS of stress and times of trouble. The
prosperity of the United States at this
time exists because there is work and
good wages for all who will work. If
that were not true prosperity would not
continue for a month or a week after the
possibility of job for every man should
cease This is the view OF the matter
possessed and urged by the advocates
of the American protective tariff, and
every page of American history relating
to the condition of the people here fur
Their affirm its truth and application.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY.
Chas. Rhodes VIII Refund Money IL Mi
o-na Fails To Cure.

Chas. Rhodes VIII Refund Money ~ Mi
o-ns Fails To Cure.
You may ask why Chas. Rhodes is
able TO guarantee to refund the money
unless Mona Stomach Tablets cure
when no other remedy for stomach
troubles is sold in this manner.
The reason for this is that ordinary
dyspepsia tablets merely digest the
food, while Mona builds up and
strengthens the digestive system so
that 1t soon begins to digest the food
itself without pain or distress.
If the stomach is only given rest
by using digestive, the muscles soon
become weak. and it is necessary to
continue taking digestive tablet after
every meal On the other hand, MILO
ma used before eating, strengthens the
stomach SO that you will soon be well
enough 10 give up the use of medicine.
Mi-o-na costs but SOC a box, and
makes positive and complete cures.
The best proof of its merits is the
guaranteed TO refund the money if it
does not cure that Chas Rhodes gives
with every box.

The coming into Clare this week of
a load of much despised pine stumps
for fuel signifies the passing of the era
in this part of the state when wood was
at discount. In fact at the present
rate of which wood prices are soaring,
coal will soon almost entirely replace
wood for fuel. During the past two
years the increase of soft coal consump-
ton has been rapid and present indica-
tons are that very soon comparatively
few people, except those on farms where
there is plenty of wood, will use coal for
even their cook stoves. In summer, of
course, wood will continue favorite
fuel at the present price of gasoline but
wood as the principal fuel is thing of
the past. All of this in a community |
where stood the virgin forest thirty five
years ago is striking example of how
fast American life is moving.
