Woodstock, W., July 10, 1908

"The fact is that in campaign
like that which took place in YER
mont this year money cut little or
no figure" says the Bennington
Banner.
On the contrary money seems to
have saved the day for Prouty; with
less liberality in the use of cash it is
somewhat doubtful if he could have
won the nomination.
Mr.. Prouty is not charged with
any illegal outlay for the benefit OF
his political ambitions; the use Of
paid agents and "rooters" comes well
within the law, we understand, and
others of our well known Republican
conservators of public morals aside
from the Banner have said that it is
legitimate and proper.
It is, however, a surprise to most
of the Stanton men to have that
money cut little or no figure in this
campaign.

FISH THAT GLOW.

Same Deep Sea Creatures Able to Shed
Phosphorescent Light.
The inhabitants of the ocean
vary in many respects, according to
the depth at which they live, but
most of all in their powers of vision,
Fish that live at very great depths
have either no eyes at all or enor-
mously big ones, There are two
methods Of getting about in the
gloomiest abysses-by delicate or
gans of touch and by sight-that
collects the few rays Of light due to
phosphorescence or other acciden-
tai sources.
The fish which live near the top
of the ocean have smaller eyes than
those say eighty fathoms down. One
hundred and twenty fathoms deep
er, where daylight disappears, tho
eyes are bigger still. Beyond tho
depth of 200 fathoms small eyes
prevail, with long feelers to supple
ment them.
At this depth, in fact, sight is
practically useless. In the greatest
abysses the fish are usually blind,
feeling their way about solely by
means of their sensitive bodies.
Some indeed show signs externally
of having once possessed eyes, but
that is all.
In others-the Oldest and most
confirmed abysmal species-the eye
has disappeared altogether external
ly, though traces of it are still to be
recognized embedded deeply in the
tissues Of the head.
Many deep sea fish have a CURIOUS
system of hollows in the skull or
about the body which hold a kind
Of phosphorescent slime, Others
have round or oval shining opales.

DEER GOT HIS CABBAGE
Now g. r. Temple of Newfane
Wants State to Pay Him.

Roswell l.. Frost of Brattleboro,
county fish and game commissioner,
is besieged with claims for damages
done by deer. Five claims passed
through his hands Monday, one OF
which was George R. Temple OF
Newfane, whose cabbage field was
ruined by deer, 400 cabbage plants
being eaten by them in two nights.
Mr.. Temple will be able to raise a
late crop provided the deer do not
get into them again,
Deer do not usually go in large
herds so late in the season, but Mr..
Dustin saw II IN one herd the past
week. The southern part of the
state is overrun with deer.

THE DIVORCE EVIL
State Board Of Health on the Regui-
sites for Happy HOmemaking

The Vermont state board OF health,
in ITS recent annual report, lays
great stress on the divorce evil in
this state, saying that divorces are
increasing to such an extent as to
threaten the stability of the common
wealth, saws an exchange. The di-
vorces have increased in comparison
with the number of marriages from
one in 2o,o3 in 1887 to one IN $50
in 1907. The board bemoans the
fact that at such rate the separations
will soon equal the marriages. Lax
discipline in families is given as the
chief cause for so many divorces.
Children are not taught obedience
to parents, and in shifting for them
selves they marry at will without
learning its sacredneSs.
The requisites Of happy home
making are new features for the Yer
mont board OF health to touch. upon,
and their remarks, based on careful
observations and statistics, are Gre
ating no little interest. They name
as remedies for the present conditions
greater restraint upon the impulses
Of young people tending to disre-
gard the rights of others, the reduc-
ton of the legal causes tor which
divorces can be granted. They
recommend that the state, the church
and the school take this up at once.
"We could we'll Afford" says the
board, "to adopt the custom where
by no marriage should be solemnized
until the intentions of the parties to
it have been announced in public
manner for some weeks. Serious
consideration should be given the
question whether the church should
allow its ministry to officiate at
marriages OF persons divorced, ex-
cept for Biblical reasons"
The board of health comprises DR..
Z. S. Caverley ST Rutland, DR.. IL.
