AVENUE TO BE
 MADE PASSABLE
Extensive Work to be Soon Done on Boulevard Be tween Railroad Viaduct and Ash Creek.

After being ripped up for the last year and causing all kinds of annoy ances to au.omobilists and not a. few accidents, the north side of Fairfield avenue from the Protestant Orphan Asylum to Ash Creek is to be repair ed. This morning Director of Public Works Biltz sent a squad of men out there to immediately complete the work.
 The reason for the long delay is due to the fact that Director Biltz did not care to macadamize over the new 10 and 15 inch sewer laid by the Pierce Mfg. Go. for the city and which is now about K completed. Had the street been finished immediately it would have sunk down as the new ground about the sewer settled. The state is to pay for part of the work as Fair field avenue is a state highway.
 The state is represented at the work by Frank w. Beers, an inspector from the office of the state highway com missioner.
 Many automobiles pass through that section of Fairfield avenue. All use the south side of the road. The new macadam will have to undergo exten- sive, but not very costly repairs, be- fore being turned over to the state. When the roadway is finished the city will have a boulevard 75 feet wide. ex- tending all the way from the railroad viaduct to Ash Creek Here the road meets the Fairfield main road. It is motorists good impression of the city as it is the only one through which they enter when coming from the

HOUSE ADOPTS
 AUSTRALIAN BALLOT
Especial from United Press. }


 Hartford, July 2s.-The House to- ballot bill as the chief work of it's short session. This bill provides for an Australian ballot which Governor Hughes says is the best one in existence and does away with all pastors or peddling of ballots. There was a con- siderable discussion on the subject in the House. the only dissenting voice being that of Representative Ogden of Wilton; other members asserting that the change should have come years ago. A full description of this bill was printed in the Farmer a few days ago.
 The effort to recall the general auto mobile law from the office of the sec retary of state has come to be regard ed with suspicion over night and this morning the House re-considered its action in passing the resolution of re- call and tabled it. Mayor Dunn of Wilhmantic said it was intended to kill the whole bill.
 The House also rejected the bill pro- viding for the regulation of street trades for boys under IA, which was favorably reported by the committee on education after considerable opposi- tion had developed. Among other measures passed by the House were the following: A bill providing for an increase in the number of jurors; the $2, 800 appropriation for the Abraham Lincoln memorial; an appropriation for repairs to the state capitol, ans one for fire escapas at the Connecticut Hospital For the Insane at Middle town.
 Also there was favorably reported a bill providing for an increase in salary for Clerk Gallagher of the New Haven County Superior Court.

MAKEsHIFT COMPASS.
Float a Masnetized Sewing Needle In
 a Bowl of Water.

Float a Masnetized Sewing Needle In
 Bowl of Water.
 If a thoroughly dry and clean sewing needle is carefully laid on the surface of water in basin the needle will float in spite of the high density of steel seven or eight times that of water. On close inspection it is found that the surface of the water is depressed under the needle, much as if there were a thin film stretched over the water and slightly indented by the weight of the needle.
 This property of liquids of offering a certain resistance to a force exerted upon their surface is termed surface tension" The magnitude of the force of surface tension varies from one liquid to another. 1t is greatest in the case of mercury. The cause of the phenomenon must probably be looked for in the attraction of the liquid mole cules to one another.
 A sewing needle thus floating upon water may be used as a compass if it has previously been magnetized. It will then point north and south and will maintain this position if the con- taining vessel is moved about. If the needle is displaced by force it will re- turn to its position along the mag netic meridian as soon as the restraint is removed.-Chicag Tribune.

KEEPING HIS BALANCE.
A Story With Moral That Is Teld
 Among the Tartars.

Among the Tartars.
 There is story told among the Tar tars which has a moral for the civi- lized men of the present day. It is to this effect: Robo, cousin Qf the great mogul, was condemned toi death for participation in a rebellion. The most skillful swordsman in the empire was provided for the execution, and the great mogul and his court were pres ent as spectators.
 The thin, keen blade flashed in the sunlight and descended upon the bare neck of Robo, who stood upright to re- ceive the stroke.
 The executioner's work Va1s so delft ly done that, though the head was sev- cred, not vital organ was disturbed. Robo remained standing.
 What, Robo, art thou not behead- ed?" exclaimed the great mogul.
 ''My lord, am,'' replied Robo, 'rbut as long as I keep my balance right my head will not fall off.''
 The great mogul was placated. A band was put on Robo's neck, and he recovered. He afterward became a loyal subject and was made cashier of the empire because, as the great mogul remarked:
 He knows that if he keeps his bal ance right his head will not come off. 9 Exchange.

LEE OFFERS $1,OOO REWARD FOR PROOF
 OF PROMISES

Mayor Lee in discussion with a newspaper reporter this morning, sta ted that he would give $1,000 to any one who could prove that he made any promises before election. The reporter was of the opinion that to be elected without making promises was with out precedent. The mayor said that this city had elected more mayors who did not make promises than it had mayors who had made them. He named Jarratt Morford, John Vessels and himself as three men who were elected without making promises.
 The members of the Brick1ayers & P1asterers' Union have always claim ed that Mayor Lee told them before election that he would be with them in a fight to secure building in spector who should be a union mason. They worked for the job and created the sentiment and when the time came to fill the place, the place went to a Republican party worker who was not a member of the union. If the state ment of the bricklayers is true, it re- mains for someone to interpert what constitutes 8 promise before the may or's $1 ,000 can be claimed.

 Thaw grew merry during the discus sion by Jerome of several European escapades and he and Jerome engaged in several wordy wars together, in which it was clear that Thaw had lost his fear of the prosecutor and was holding his own admirably. While Thaw was on the stand, Justice Mills ordered the noon-day recess.
 When Thaw took the stand after lunch Jerome, fired this question at him, DO you consider yourself sane now?" "I do, and so do others" fired back Thaw. Jerome then produced a copy of the pamphlet. Secret Unveil- ed,'' published few days ago by Mrs Mary Copley Thaw, the mother of the prisoner. in which Jerome was bitter 1y criticised. The aged white haired mother was all attention and the crowded courtroom moved restlessly Thaw said that he had approved of the contents of the pamphlet in gen. eral way.
 Did you believe the allegation with which this pamphlet opens that a cowardly combination of powerful men was at work to prove you insane in order to conceal the degenerate prac- tices of Stanford White and his friends?" asked Jerome. q did. be- cause you admitted as much in your summary at the second trial" shot back Thaw. Jerome gave Thaw a copy of the summary and after search ing the record Thaw read a passage upon which he based his belief. Thaw said he did not copy the manuscript but that he had seen it before it was published and had, upon advice of Att torney Morschauser, made no objec- tio1 to it. Who were the men in the powerful combination,'' asked Jerome. 'I do not know; ask my mother,' g parried Thaw. "Who were the black mailers mentioned in the pamphlet?'' ''One of them was Abe Hummel." !" Thaw then said that Hummel had in stituted several blackmailing suits among them one which was brought in the name of Ethel Thomas.
 Where did you meet Ethel Thom- as2" asked Jerome and quick as a flash came back, "At q disorderly house which was running in New York throughout your administration g and Thaw gave the number of the house. eff all these charges were false why did your counsel, MT. Hartridge, go to all the trouble and expense of securing the whip which has been pro- duced in ccCrt by MT. Hartridge?'' asked Jerome.

ENROLMENT
 REGISTRAR
 ELECTION

Mayor Lee signed the warrant this morning for the election of a military enrollnent registrar at the meeting of the council Aug. 2. The warrant is isued in compliance with the law which requires that the registrar shall be elected in August. The Mayor will suggest postponing the election because of the personal tax bill pending be- fore the Legislature which would put the military enrolment registrars out of commission. If the bill is not pass ed during August the Aldermen can be convened in special session for the purpose of electing the registrar
 The general opinion is that the per sonal tax bill will pass. It has al- ready passed one branch of the Legis- lature.
