k EARLY DAYS OF COFFEE
ijsverage Met with Strong Cisap. provaI of English Sellers of
 Strong Liquor.

There is a quaint reference tC cof- fee in Burton's Anatomy of Melan- choly." The Turks" writes Burton, have a drink called coffee (for they used no wine), so named of berry as black as soot and as bitter Qike that black drink which was in use among the Lacedoemonians, and perhaps th same), which they sip still of, and sup as warm as they can suffer; they spend much time in those coffee houses, which are somewhat like our own ale houses or taverns, and there they sit chatting and drinking to drive away the time and to be merry to- gether, because they find by expe- rience that kind of drink so used helpeth digestion and procureth alacrity."
 The introduction of coffee into this country dates from the period of the protectorate, says the London Chron- icle. According to restoration pamphleteer, Coffee and common wealth came in together" The first coffee house in London was estab- lished in 1852 by Pasqua Rosee, the Armenian servant of a city merchant. Others were quick to follow Natu- rally the publicans and owners of licensed houses viewed these innova- tions with alarm. MT Hackwood in his recently published book on The Inns, Ales and Drinking Customs of Old England" recalls the case of one James Farre, who was accused of making and selling drink called coffee, whereby in makinge the same he annoyed his neighbours by evil smells, and for keepinge of fire for the most part night and day, whereby his chimney and chamber hath been set on fire, to the great danger and affrightment of his neighbours"

USING THE TELEPHONE.
Experiment on Northampton piyisisH
in Handling Trains.

Railroad men Of the New Haven
system are much interested in the
outcome of the roads plans for the
equipment of the old Northampton al
vision stations with telephones for a
test of their efficiency in train des-
patching. Many railroads use the tel
ephone for train despatching, and the
Santa Fe system, the first to adopt
this method of despatching, has given
the telephone a good trial in this work
and now has about 1900 miles Of
track operated by telephone and tele-
graph.
1t is believed, however. that the
telegraph service will always be main
tanned. though the telephone equip
ment will be used to a great extent
on the Northampton line.
In transmitting orders by tele-
phone. the dispatcher spells out in
full the names of stations. numbers
of engines and trains, the times and
the proper names involved. This,
however. is done with speed and pre-
cision. and the dispatcher writes the
order in the record before him as he
gives IL, not waiting to make the
record OF when II shall repeated" to
him by the operator. as is done in the
telegraph operation. This change in
making the record OF the order from
a>subsequent to an initial one is very
important from the standpoint OF abso'
lutte accuracy.

milk IMPROVEMENT.
Report from State Laboratories Shows
Decided Improvement at Ansonia.


The report on the analysis Of milk
sent from Ansonia to the state board
of health laboratories in Middletown
ON October "a shows a very decided
Improvement III the quality of the milk
Twelve samples were forwarded and
all except three of these show that the
number of bacteria per cubic cent?
meter is less than $4,000. One of the
exceptions, however, is a very bad
case, showing 100000 bacteria. the
other two showing 422, 500 and $50, 900
respectively. sufficient to place them
in the unsatisfactory class. This inn
provement is due in part to the better
care that is being taken of milk and
in part to the cooler weather.
In note on the back of the report
it is stated that bacteria below 10000
per cubic centimeter indicates milk of
very good quality, and bacteria from
10000 to $4,000 indicates milk Of good
quality. Three of the samples show
less than 10000 bacteria, one reading
1000, another 1000, and another 5000.
Concerning the percentage of fat
only one of the samples is below legal
standard 1926 per cent. and this is
down to 2.9. One of them is up to
eight per cent, another up to six sew
eral at five and the rest at four or a
trifie better. The milk that showed
500 bacteria showed eight per cent.
of fat. The refectometer readings,
which show the amount of water in
the milk. indicated that none of the
milk had been watered.
1t looks as if the fight for good milk
in Ansonfa which has been waged all
summer long is bearing fruit, and if it
is followed up, as it undoubtedly will
be, during the coming winter, the sup
ply will be far. better than it has ever
been before, and neUt summer should
be much better than it has been DUR
ing the past summer.

MERIDEN AERoNAuTs
Have Completed a Msehihe for Sky
Flights.

Two young men of Meriden, who
have considerable mechanical inge-
nuity. have practically completed a
glider or aeroplane without motive
power, and they have tried It out with
marked success. They are modest
chaps and have kept their efforts to
themselves, but the trials have at
tracted attention, although they have
made them in the evening.
Frederick Stevens, a foreman az
Factor H, and e. ID. Mooney have been
at work on the thing for some time
and they have constructed a bipiane
glider out of spruce, plano wire and
muslin. The planes are 20 feet long.
four feet wide and they are hung FOUR
feet apart.
+. There is no dampener or elevatinE
planes in front but there is a rudder
of two interesting planes in the rear
which help give balance and direction.
There Is an opening in the lower
frame and into this the operator puts
his head and shoulders. He then
starts with run on hill and clears
the ground as the glider Strengthens
out In the wind. The operator ball
ances the machine by moving his body
thus tipping the planes up and
down.
The young men have practiced on
the hills at the golf links. and al
though they have not had much wind
still they have glided so and so feet
with ease. They assert that a steady
wind and a greater height will per-
NIT them to go much greater dis
lance.
They are doing this partly for the
sport and partly also for the expert
ence It gives them in handling planes,
as they intend to build a machine with
propellers and an engine, and thus
have a practical aeroplane. Their
efforts will be watched with interest
as 1t Is believed they are experiment.

A final appealsis being sent out to
those who may be interested in the

soon after the death of Dr. Leclaire
last spring. and has been in charge
of committee of local men of which
Peter Boulaine has been the head. Cir
culars were sent all over New Eng
land to fraternsl societies with which
the deceased physician was affiliated,
and many responses have been receiv-
ed. The fund has grown to about $500
and pledges have also been received
that more money is to be sent.
The committee in charge are desir-
GUS that the fund be completed In suf-
ficient time to insure having the mon
ument placed in position on the Le-

first anniversary of the death of DR..
Leclaire, which will occur in the early
part of next April.

Building of coneret. Blocks.

Considerable interest has been shown
by the public in general and mill own
ers in particular. in the construction
of large addition to the II. A. Mat

at Seymour This building is 102x60
feet, and when completed win be two
stories high. II is being constructed
OF concrete cement blocks. the first OF
its kind to be erected in Seymour.
This new building will give the Mat

will considerably increase the already
large cLracity Of the plant. This com .
pany has been gradually working into
the manufacture of automobile parts
and II is partially on this account that
additional capacity is needed.
