This is no fish story, as several witnessed the weighing.

Newspaoer Mems cratuities.

The Post is on record as being unal-
 terably opposed to the present system of newspaper gratuities as practiced by the Connecticut legislature. The Post has fought against the practice for years. In fact a number of the state papers have raised an emphatic protest all to no purpose. Other states appoint official reporters and provide in a somewhat legitimate manner for the extra expense entailed in the dissen1- ination of legislative news. Connecticut, however, goes at the matter crudely and ladies out the gratuities as so much pap. If the legislatiae is willing to bear some of the expense of printing legislative news it ought to come out squarely and fix definite amount with such conditions as it thinks advisable, and not surreptitiously slip out the side door to fix things on the quiet. The newspaper men who report the do- inlgs of the legislature are an able and proficient corps and deserve well at the hands of the state. Little would be known of the doings on Capitol Hill but for the unwearying and indefatig- able newspaper men there entrenched. They hardly deserve the humiliation of being tossed gratuities as though the senators were tipping their favorite walters. It is hoped some day a sys- tenn will be devised that will show the appreciation of the state in a business like and proper way.-Bridgeport Post.

WHAT THE PAPERS sAx..
Western Methods.

Has Connecticut had wild western methods transferred to within it's borders? It would seem so, judging from the hold-up on Lazy Lane last night when the conductor and motor man of an electric car were robbed of money and watches by two armed, masked highwaymen. It was the bold est thing that ever happened in thls state in the line of robbery and 1t bears all the earmarks of a job by men who are familiar with the arrival and departure of cars between the Lane and Compounce lake It is a lonesome line, and there are many places where such robbery could occur without interference. In this case, however, the highwaymen were content to clean out the conductor and motorman and made<no effort to disturb the two passengers who upon learning of the trouble promptly alighted and made tracks for home. It is likely that if the men are captured they will be found to be aSpair or cheeky mixed ale thieves.-New> Brit ain Herald.

Catching Thieves by Machine.

The cleptograph, as may be inferred from it's name, is an apparatus for the recording of theft, which automatical- ly photographs those who break into office or house, and accurately regis ters the hour of their visit
 The room to be perfected by the cleptograph contains system of wires and contacts that are properly dis tributed over the windows, doors, safes, etc, being connected with all objects of value.
 As soon as a stranger penetrates the room, a photographic camera under the action of some contact, involun- tarily and uncOnsciously touched by the person, will direct itself automat- ically towards the contact, that is towards the thief, and after having opened the objective shutter, will ig- nite the magnesium powder intended to supply the flashlight and again close the objective after the view has been taken, then exchange the finn, get a new portion of powder ready and reg ister the exact time
 The whole of these divers operations is completed in less time than is re- quired to describe it, the apparatus being immediately ready for taking another view, as soon as the intruder touches some other contact, and so on. Like an invisible detective, the clep- tograph thus follows any motions of the thief in order to prepare a set of authentic and irrefutable documents, to assist the police in their search for the criminal.
 The current required for working the apparatus is either half of that of an ordinary battery or-after due re- duction through proper resistances- the current derived from the electric inc lafr tirely hidden from the burglar, the cleptograph cannot possibly be harmed by the latter.-Technical World Magazine.

K. of c. Iniunction?

That considerable dissatisfaction has arisen in the Knights of Columbus over the action of the supreme coun- cil in creating the office of historian of the order was manifested at recent mee 'ng by the discussions in the local council rooms. It was reported on good authority that in all probability one or more injunctions would very shortly be brought against the. order restraining it from paying the salary of $2,50G for a historian. Daniel Col well, at the recent meeting of the na- tional council at Mobile, Ala, was elected to the office of historian
 Furthermore, it is generally beliey- ed that the suit will be brought by one of the national board of directors.
 According to the rumor, when the directors met three months ago the question of having a historian and the proposed salary for such an office was discussed. The matter did not meet favorably with all who attended, and it is said that one of the directors made the statement then that should the order create the office he would begin injunction proceedings, as he did not believe the funds should be used for an office for which, he said, there was not the slightest necessity.
 It is said that even at this time several officials of the order had agreed to use their efforts in securing the office for MT. Colwell, provided that he would not make too determin- ed an effort to again land the office of national secretary.
 Mir. Colwell, who was chosen his torian, is a charter member of the or der, and has held the position of na tional secretary ever since it was founded, about 26 years ago. The new position of historian carries a salary of $2,500 year with it, and the office was created for Mir. Colwell on ac- count of his personal knowledge of the members and life of the order.-N. H. Palladium.

Where care is Needed.

One word more concerning the new macadam between Derby and New Haven. Upon completion it is as good as can be built; at least. this seems to be the case. But 1t won't stay good unless it is taken care of. A macadam road needs care. from the day it is comhieteo. Because of lack of care, miles of splendid macadam have gone from good to indifferently good roads in this state. Failure to keep them watered, failure to proper ly repair the top dressing when occa- sion demands. failure to rake off the loose stones, failure to give attention frequently and promptly, have taken thousands of dollars out of the pock- cts of the taxpayers of the state when they might have been permitted to stay as well as not. No macadam road will take care of itself In fact, if there is one flaw in the Connecticut road system that is bigger than an- other, is Is the failure to maintain that which is built. With proper care, the Derby road should be as good, if not batter, twenty wears from now as it is today-Ansonia Sentinel.

Such is Fame.

Truly fame is an unsubstantial thing. Even it's commercial. value is transient. This is shown by the de- cision of Justice Brady, of the New York supreme court, to the effect that even so soon after the memorable wreck of the steamship Republic the public has so far lost its interest in the heroes of that event that the mon- ey value of moving picture films show ing the likeness of Jack Binns, the wireless man, is now. practically nil.
