MN HAVEN 6,
NEW BRITAIN |

New Haven. Conn, Dec 2S-In a game
OF polo. which was fast at times and at
others rough and uninteresting. New Ha-
ven defeated New Britain at polo last
evening by the score of TO 1.
New Haven started the scoring in the
first period after five minutes and 30 Sec
onds playing time. and II was all the scor-
ing that was done in the first period.
In the second period. after 40 seconds
OF playing Bone got the ball past Mitch
ell. Farrell got one OF his famous drives
and sent the ball into the cage in SIS sec
onds. He followed IL I'm four minutes and
five seconds later with another. McCar-
thy Gagged the last goal of the period.
The third period was the toughest Of
the game. Saunders kept blocking Schif
fer and leaving Mullen unprotected. and
Mullen kept kicking them out After l.
minutes OF playing Mccarthy Gagged the
ball and was followed 45 seconds later
by Jean. who Gagged New Britain's only
goal after AZ minutes and 45 seconds ac-
tual time.
Three fouls were called during the
game two on New Britain and one on
New Haven. Those on New Britain were
called on Schiller and Jean, AMI the one
on New Haven was labelled against

Gigantic and Costly Plan.

The desk of the italian minister of public
instruction. who has Jurisdiction over such
matters. is covered with archaeological and
chronological schemes that are more or less
fantastic. The Italians are fertile In in
vention. but are not always competent or
successful In execution. Among Other
propositions is a gigantic plan called the
"Passegiata Archaeological" which has ex-
cited considerable discussion in the news
papers and among scholars. The idea Is to
create sort of Appian way or boulevard
starting from the Palatine. and leading out
into the country to connect with the an
Client Appian way. This boulevard is to be
constructed after the ancient Roman de-
signs, with numerous triumphal arches
concentrating historical events, and to be
lined by ancient statues from the museums
and modern monuments to commemorate
the achievements of Italian heroes of the
present age. This "Passegiata Archaeo-
logica" is to be completed for inauguratio
In the centennial year Of the unification of
Italy which will give plenty of time for
the work, IL the funds could be forthcom-
ing. But the practical minds in the gov
ernuent argue that the millions of dollars
which the scheme would cost could be ex-
cended to much greater advantage upon
useful public works. and there Is not the
slightest possibility that the gorgeous en-
terprise will ever be carried out.

The Colonial Contents.

During a recent civil service examination
one of the questions was:
What are the cubical contents of a room
Is feet long 10 feet wide and feet high?"
One of the candidates, who must have
been Of Irish extraction, answered: "One
bedstead, one bureau, a small table, a wash
stand and a few chairs If there is no
closet there should be wardrobe. II such
a room were kitchen or a parlor it would
be larger and contain more furniture
visitor at the civil service Headquarters
who might have been of the same national
ity, inquired where William McGann stood
on the eligible list for stenographers, The
obliging clerk looked up the papers, and
replied that he stood third.
How many are ahead of him?' was the
next question.

Demand for Red Cedar.

There Is no more promising speculation
for farmers or people residing In villages
than to plant red cedar trees, because that
kind of wood has become so scarce that 1t
Is now sold by the pound instead of the
foot. The market is permanent, the demand
is increasing and the prices must advance
year by year, because red cedar is abso-
lutely necessary for the manufacture of
lead pencilsrand cigar boxes. No substitute
has ever been found for it. Every Ameri-
can citizen, man, woman and child uses
an average of six pencils of home manufac-
ture every year. Ten years ago he used
less than five, and twenty years ago three.
This does not include the enormous guam
tity of pencils imported from Germany.
which number probably half as many more.
There are seven factories in the United
States. three In New York. two in New Jer-
sey, one In Illinois and one in Massachu-
sets, four of them branches of foreign
establishments, three under American man
agement and control. They produced last
year 32O,OOO,OOo pencils which required
10000 tons, or $7,300OO0 cubic feet, of red
cedar, found chiefly in Florida, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Texas, but the
the rainfall is sufficient for ordinary crops
Not only the American factories, but all
the factories in the world, depend upon cedar
from the United States, which is shipped
chiefly from Brunswick, Ga, Mobile and
New Orleans. The supply is growing scarccr
very rapidly. AS the trees are cut in the for
ests of the southern states no attempt is
made to replant or provide any substi-
Iute, and the time will soon come when
the wood will be worth it's weight not only
in silver, but in gold. Mr.. Clifford Pinchot,
chief Of the forestry division of the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington,
will give information and instruction to any
person who desires to plant cedar trees,
and he Is convinced that there is no more
and the old people of the farms and viii
lagos of the United States.

Not Really lead Pencils"


The term lead peneiP' Is a misnomer,
but it sticks. The material of which PEN
ellis are made is not lead, and does not
resemble lead any more than 1t resembles
chalk. 1t Is not heavy, 1t cannot be fused,
1t will not melt, 1t cannot be consumed by
fire, 1t Is one of the softest OF minerals
and has none of the properties of lead.
II Is almost pure carbon, and Is known as
graphite" The chief supply of the United
States Is mined at Ticonderoga, N. Y, where
the mine to reducing mill, where 1t is
pulverized by stamps under water. and the
particles are hoated slowly through q Sc
ries of tubs over screens, or sleeves, 80 that
the finest particles will drop into the first
tub, and settle to the bottom, the next
supply is thus disposed of. The sediment In
the last tub Is used for the finest grade
of pencils, and that In the others for the
cheaper grades.
These particles Of graphite are mixed
with clay in proportions varying according
to the degree of hardness required. and the
more clay used the harder the pencil; for
the medium grade, for ordinary commercial
pencils, the proportions are seven parts
clay to ten parts graphite. The two sub
stances are moistened with water until they
are about the consistency OF ordinary
dough for bread, and are then passed
through grinding stones until thoroughly
mixed. When ground the mass is like soft
putty, and is then placed under hydraulic
dough is then sent to forming press
which consists of small vertical iron
cylinder with solid plunger or piston
driven by u screw. The plate at the bot
tom has an opening of the shape and size
of the lead desired, and through this hole

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use of Hyomei. Cures

Inquiry at the local drug stores shows that the

much In the last year. Some medicines which
were formerly bought . gross at tine are now
purchased In half-dozen lots and are rarely called

There Is one notable exception to this decrease
IN sale. and that L. Hyomei. This remedy Is, in
fact responsible for the decrease In sale OF
catarrh medicines. as 1t has made many cures

Plans of Sulpician Fathers of the
Catholic Church.

There a report current during the
week that ST. Mary's Seminary in Bait
more. which is conducted by the Sulpcian
FATHERS, was TO be added to the Catholic
University Of America here but this rumor
was authOrtatively denied by Very Rev. +.
X. Dyer. president OF the seminary and
vicar general OF the Sulpicians in the
United States. A denial was also an
nounced BY Mgr II. J. O'Connell. rector of
the Catholic University. DIR. Dyer admit
ted that the project had a number OF warm
supporters. but he did not believe the mat
ter would be considered by the church.
1t is known that the seminary manage
ment intends TO erect a building for young
men here. designed for the accommodation
OF those who are to teach In Sulpician In
situations and who pursuing a post
graduate course at the Catholic University
of America. Plans for such structure
have been in existence for several months
providing for plain structure of the
community type. The plans were submit
ted to local builders and estimates handed
in. Nothing further was done, however.
II is explained that the Sulpicians own a
valuable tract OF land on Michigan avenue,
directly in front of the Apostolic Mission
House. II consists of about four acres and
is looked upon being a particularly de-
sirable parcel OF land in this section. Ell
forts to bay II from the Sulpiclans are said
TO have been unavailng. II is stated that

demna JiuI proceedings would be entered for
cutting Through Monroe street to the tract
OF the Catholic University. Hence the
