TWO UTILITIES BILLS

The probable fate of the two utilities bills is engaging the attention of leglsia- tors and press throughout the state. The Barnum bill, submitted by the majority of the committee, was immediately labeled as too mild by far to prove eff 6cacious. while it's failure to include the railroads in the joint supervision was decried as being a fatal omission. It was put down as a merit of the bill that it would probably be passed on account of it's lack of any radical features.
 The appearance ot the minority bill provoked an immediate comparison Of the two and, metaphorioally speaking, they were charted as Scylla and Charyb- dis. between which it is believed that the Ship of State will steer it's course. Where the Barnum bill was too mild to suit, that submitted by the minority WAS attacked as having gone to the other ex- treme ill vesting a much too ex- tensive power over the railroads in the proposed commission. In B word, where the Barnum bill fails to come up to what is desired, the one submitted by the minority is being condemned for over stepping the mark. Neither are being looked upon with any great favor and the legislature is very likely to ''sit down between two chairs" by refusing to pass either bill.

Oil Does the Business

There has been a good deal of talk from time to time about laying the dust in public roads with crude oil, but no demonstrations of it's usefulness were made hereabouts until recently when a number of citizens of Plainville gave matter practical test. The result was so encouraging that good many barrels of oil are to be put on the roads. The stuff does kill the dust and one appllca- tion is effective for several weeks. Plain vile is to be congratulated. She is set ting pace for some of the larger towns. Bristol Press.

Strange Man Puzzles New Workers

New York, March "A man who
calls himself the "human arc light" oc
cupied a grim looking death chair in
a Broadway office today and received
through his body what was declared
to be three ampere electric current
of 1910 volts. Most criminals who
suffer the death penalty in the electric
chair at Sing Sing receive four to
six ampere current of LOO volts. The
human arc light" gave every indica.
ton of receiving a stiff jolt. An as
sistant held handkerchief soaked
with alcohol over one knee. A spark
jumped from the knee and set the
handkerchief afiame. A rod held two
inches away from the mans forehead
drew a fiery snake to its tip. The
current was OH minute, then when
the straps were loosened the man went
to get drink of water.
One thing the human are light" did
was to step up to a transformer, fas
ten to his wrist a copper bracelet that
was connected with wire. Then
he held an incandescent globe unscrew-
ed from the wall in his teeth, and nod
ded to all assistant to turn on the
power. There was spark on top of

descent burned brightly. A pencil of

Fall Web Worm Here.

The prevalence OF caterpillars on shade
and fruit trees in this vicinity is very
noticea BILE and great damage is being done
1t has been feared by many that these
were the dreaded gypsy or brown tail
moths, but this is not 80. 1t is undou bt-
edly true that there are some brown-ta
moths in this section but the worm now
prevalent is the fall web worm. e. F.
Hitchings, State entomologist, in a letter
to M. 8. Smith, who sent q specimen Of
the worm, writes:
This is the fall web worm. They are doing
great deal of damage at the present time to
our shade and orchard trees, especially the
elm and apple. In the orchards they can be
controlled by spraying with paris green,
though this should not be done on trees that
are bearing early fruit, and on our tall elm
trees it would be impossible. i think where
the nests can be cut of and burned, this Is
the best remedy possible.
The fall web worm may not be as widely
advertised as the brown-tail and gypsy,
but it is almost as destructive, and every
branch it attacks is killed. The web worm
is prevalent here to an alarming extent.
