the lamp, which is in the form OF a
long glass tube. On it's way it is sub
jected to the action of the rays
streaming through it, and then it
passes into a sterilized receptacle. To
remove solid impurities after the ster-
~ilization the water may be passed

a French photographer, has succeed
ed in obtaining interior photographs
in the colors of nature by the use Of
magnesium light. The exposures are,
of course, instantaneous, and the sue
cess of the experiments is based upon
the employment Of a special powder
composed Of magnesium and p~hospho-
rus, which burns with great r%apidityr
and specially colored Greens. The
photographs of moving objects are
said to be surprisingly perfect in all
their colors. The operation is per-
formed as in ordinary photography
with magnesium light. That is to
say. the lights in the o are left
burning when the exposure is made.

Deep Interest in County Caucus at
Hartford Tomorrow-Booming ex-
Mayor Fuller for City Court Judge
Prosperous Year in ST. Mary's
Parish.

There will be a lively caucus at
Hartford tomorrow (Tuesday) when
the republican senators and represent
atives from Windham county will con-
Vene to nominate a candidate for the
vacancy to occur in the board of coun-
ty commissioners. E. H. Cortiss of
Thompson is a candidate to succeed
himself and the indications at present
are that the fight will be principally
between Mr.. Cortiss and Leon r. Will
son Of this city. Other candidates for
the place are W. P. Kelley of Day
vile and George o. Brown of Daniel
son, and oliver Hitchcock of Wood
stock. Mr.. Wilson has been making
a very active canvass around the coun-
ty. Mr.. Cortiss may be depended on
to make hot fight for reappointment.
All the candidates have been pledged
some portion of the twenty -one votes
in the county and if there should hap
pen to be no choice on the first ballot
it may take several more to decide the
matter. Several of those entitled to
vote have it is believed made no
pledge or promise to support any of
the candidates. Mr.. Cortiss will COM
plete his third term in July and has
made an excellent record. The argu-
ments advanced against his re-elec-
ton are to the general effect that
twelve years of service are sufficient
for one man.

Transplanting Big Trees at Pomfrst.
At Ponfret street this cold weather
and frozen ground are being taken
advantage of as favorable assets for
assisting in the transplanting Of dozens
of big trees that cannot be safely
moved at any other time Of year.
The trees are being moved to more
desirable locations about Pomfret
school. and on some Of the fine coun-
try estates OF New York and Washing
ton residents, who spend their sum
mers at Pomfret. Some Of the trees
moved are foot in diameter, and fifty
feet high. The method employed is to
cut a circle Of liberal diameter about
the tree. A trench is then dug around
the circumference Of the circle. allow
ing the excavators to pry under the
roots and free the tree from its fasten-
ings in the ground. The frozen earth
clings about and protects the roots
while the tree IS being lifted out Of
its original place and moved on a drag
to its new location where a hole has
been dug for its reception. Supported
by guys, the tree is carefully manoeu-
vred into the new station, new earth
solidly packed about such parts of the
roots as may be exDosed and the work
completed by carefully restoring the
turf surface.
