The First Fly Fishers.

Doubtless the reason why artificial flies were originally invented was be- cause it was impossible to use the smaller and more delicate natural flies as baits on the hook. The first fly fisher cast his eyes about him in search of something that would answer in initiating the flies upon which the trout were feeding. Feathers were natural ly the first materials thought of, and the old red cocks hackle was the first of all the artificial insects, the old, old Adam of them all. The breed has been increasing for several hundred years and numbers 2,OOO or more at the present day. Of salmon flies alone there are several hundred patterns. These belong to the lure order mostly, as do many of the large flies used for bass and trout. The little old red hac- kle remains a good fly to this day and is put upon bodies of many colors, pea cock harl being perhaps as we'll liked as anything; red wool is favored by many.-Forest and Stream.

FORGE 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 40 pounds, but the force of gravity on Mars is so much less than on the earth that the 14O pound man would weigh only fifty three pounds if he were transported there. With such light weight and still retaining the same strength, an individ- 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 a man would be even lighter.
 But on the sun our 40 pound man would have his troubles. Instead of being an airy individual he would weigh in the neighborhood of ton and three-quarters. He would probably have the greatest difficulty in raising his hand, for that member would weigh about 300 pounds.

lnrd Erskine

From midshipman to lord chancellor Is very far cry. Lord Erskine, how ever, whom Lord Campbell once de scribed as the greatest advocate of an cient or modern times, did not find much difficulty in reaching the Wool sack, although he started life as "middy" and did not settle down to study law until he was twenty five years of age. His defense of Captain Baillie, prosecuted for his exposures of gross abuses at the admiralty, raised him from an obscure lawyer to fore most position at the bar, and thirty briefs were offered him before he left the court. From that time until he be came chancellor in 1906 his career was marked by long list of successes London Standard

The soutbern New England Tel

The Southern New England Tele- phone company now has in operation all over it's territory in Connecticut 8 system by means of which the wealth CT reports from the United States weather bureau, in Washington, D. O., are sent out daily to every ex- change in the state.
 Before the system could be adopted by the company, it was necessary to try it out, in order to learn whether or not it would in any way interfere with the regular traffic over the com- pany's wires, or slow down the time for handling toll line uall. It has been found that it causes no delay of this kind, and does not take the oper- ator away from her regular business for the reason that through the night, when the forecasts are sent out, there is comparatively light toll business being done.
 The manner in which the bureau is handled is as follows: Shortly be- fore midnight the last report of the weather bureau in Washington is re- ceived at the central office in New Haven. Copies of this report are made. One of them is put on tho desk of the local Number 25, while the others are put into the hands of the toll line operators. These operators between them call uI all the offices in the state and trans init the report to them, so that when the telephone subscriber arises in the morning, no matter in what part of the state he is, he has simply to step to his telephone, call up Central and ask for "Number 25," who will tell him what Uncle Sam's Washington weather-makers say the weather is to be for the day.
 This system of transmitting the re- port of the weather originated with the Southern New England Telephone company. The value of the system to the public is, of course, very eVi. dent. It is very easy matter for 6 person to step to the telephone, cal up "Number 25," and find out what the weather is likely to be. It is. however, of especial value to the sub scribers in the smaller towns and vii. lages, who do not have early morning newspapers, as is the case in the cities. Where the free rural delivery gets around once 8 day and brings the local paper late in the morning or where the paper is published only weekly or semi-weekly, the subscrib CT with this new system is no longer compelled to wait for his palladium of news, but can step to his tele' phone, call up Central, ask fol
 Number 25," and from her learr what the weather probabilities are, before he lays his plans for the day.
 The introduction of weather bureau bulletins, which increases the conven fence of telephone service without any expense to subscribers, is in keep ing with the liberal policy of the Southern New England Telephone company.

TOILETS OF ANTS.

Used In Making Them.
 Ants have fine and coarse combs sponses, hairbrushes and soap. They are remarkably clean."
 The speaker was a nature student He bent over the artificial ants nest or formicary, that stood on his table under glass.
 "Watch this lady making her toilet" he said. "She won't mind."
 The little black ant seemed to be carefully tying and untying knots in herself. The small black body twisted and turned. The tough little black limbs darted through the air.
 That is her fine tooth comb she is using now," explained the student. "It is affixed to the tibia of the foreleg. It has short handle, stiff back and sixty-five fine teeth. Nothing can es- cape it.
 Now she is sponging her back. Yes, the tongue is her sponge, the fiat sur face of the tongue. The tongues edges are her brush. They are equipped with hemiSphericaI bosses-Short, stiff, blunt bristles See her brushing her left fore leg with it. Doesn't 1t work admirably
 Now she is combing the hairy un- derpart of her body with her coarse comb. It is attached to the tarsus and has forty-five coarse teeth, an excel lent instrument for rough work She is giving her legs a good soa1 bath now She draws them, you see, through her mandibles, or upper jaws. The mandibles are serrated, and they secrete fluid that is quite like soap studs, superb toilet lotion which cleanses the skin and makes the hair brilliant and supple

 The case of Joseph Kingbsury, who was terribly injured about the head by falling from the roof of the garage being built for W. H. Hall last We'd nesday, has been the topic of interest since that morning. At the first there seemed to be no hope for his recovery; in fact, it seemed almost a miracle that he was not killed out right. Dr. F. B. Johnson was the first physician called, but soon after Drs Weldon and O'Neil of Williman- tic were summoned. A telephone message was sent to w. H. Hall in Hartford, and he responded by bring ing two doctors and nurse from Hartford in his automobile. An operation was performed shortly after 1 o'clock, to relieve any pressure on the brain. Even then the chance of his recovery appeared very remote Drs. Johnson and Weldon have had charge of the case, and trained nurse and R. H. Worden have been in constant attendance since the acci. dent. Improvement has been steady, and at this writing the patients con- dition warrants the belief that he will recover. He has no recollection of the accident whatever.

Civilization In France A. D. 1917.

Civilization In France A. Q. 1917.
 Marshal d'Ancre was assassinated In the streets of Vitry on April A, 1917. The people of France have al- ways been looked upon as fairly well civilized at that time Yet thia Is what these civilized Frenchmen did. They dug up the corpse of D'Ancre, dragged it through the streets to the Pont Neuf, where they hung 1t up by the feet. Then it was dragged through the streets again to the Place de Greve. D'Ancre, or what was left of him, was dismembered and chopped to pieces, the crowds fighting for morsels of the "excommunicated Jew," as they called him. His entrails were thrown into the river, his ears were sold to the best burgher and what was left was burned In front of the statue of Henri W. Most horrible of all, his heart was torn out, cooked and eaten by these human wolves. The next day the dead marshaPs ashes were offered for sale on the streets, while his wife was accused of sorcery, dragged to the Bastille and her head hacked of.

The baseball championship of Ari- zona will be decided on the diamond at Bakersville tomorrow afternoon. This game has aroused intense inter- est and enthusiasm throughout the en- tire baseball world. The poolrooms at Catalina Island. Long Beach and Du- luth. Minn., have arranged for tele- graphic reports of the game by in nings. Owing to the fact that the regular seating capacity at the grciInd is insufficient to accommodate the large crowd anticipated, the manage ment has arranged for 5000 additional seats It is estimated that about 35- 900 persons. more or less, will witness the game. The admirers of both teams are certain their favorites will win and are placing their money accordingly. IL is estimated there is a small for tune up on the result of the contest so far. It it nothing unusual to see a crowd congregated on the main street of Lowell listening to the argu- ments advanced by an excited man in shirt sleves as to why the team on which his money is placed can not win. The following lineup will give an idea as to the strength of both teams:
