WORK OF ELECTRICITY.
What Is Being Accomplished by Steel
 Company at Bridgeport.

The Bridgeport Standard says of
 work which is being done in that city:
 Considerable interest has been taken
 for the past few days in the four
 electric cars that have been at work
 on Main street and on Congress street
 welding the new rails and some of
 the older ones, together by electricity.
 The work is being done by a steel
 company of Johnstown. Pa. which is
 doing another large job for the Con-
 necticut Railway & Lighting Go. at
 New Haven.
 The process is not new, as it has
 been done for western street railways
 for some time. who have found it sue cessful. It means a saving of current,
 which also means better service, and
 it also means no short circuiting,
 which has given the company in this city considerable trouble. The rails
 in this city have been joined together by means of fish plates. which are bolted to each rail with dozen or so of six-inch bolts. Whe nthe rails expand or contract. as they will do by the different changes of weather. these bolts become loose and a great amount of current escapes, and is wasted. Also some of these rails be- come practically useles sthrough short circuits. The ends of the rails be- come worn and the cars are jolted when they pas sover these places There are four cars used in doing the work. a sand blast. welding. a dynamo and grinding car. It takes crew of ten men to operate them and there has been night and day shift so as to rush the work. First, large
 hole is dug around. the two joining l rails, the sand-blast car is then run upon the spot and the two rails are ! cleaned off with a powerful blast of 1 100 pounds pressure. This frees the rails from sand, stones and rust. so that when they are welded the steel will be clean.
 | The welding ear is then brought up | with the dynamo car attached. On the front end of the welding car is an adiustable apparatus shaped like two | large horsezhoes. which are adjusted So as to clamp 2 plat of steel three inches wide by 42 inches long tightly | against either side of the rail. the two | steel plates covering the ends of each rail When the rails are in perfect position 2 current of 30,000 amperes and 5 volts is turned from the dy- namo car This is held in position until tie bars of steel and the rails come tofa welding heat

ODD FELLOWS.

The meeting of Palmyra Encamp- mentl No. 3. next Thursday evening in Odd Fellows hall has programme outlined of more than usual interest in the work on three candidates in the third degree and turkey supper to follow. The attendance will be large, without doubt as the officers and en- tertainment committee are aiming to get out a large proportion of the mem- bership.
 The annual session of the grand en- canlpment was held last Tuesday in Hartford and was attended by Ashley T. Boon. representing Pamyra en- ca tnprnent. of which he is deputy as well as the encampnents in New Lon don and Mystic There were about 25o delegates present, representing the subordinate encampments, and with members of the grand encampment of ontario. N. r.. New Jersey and Mas sachusetts present as visitors.
 Grand Patriarch E. Benejah Pratt of Chester presided. In his report the grand patriarch said, in part:
 Eleven encampments having inlti- atetf ten or more patriarchs from July i. 1903. to July 1, 1909, are entitled to have their nancs on the roll of hon. or. Ansantawae ercampment, No. 20. led the list by initiating 30.
 Grand Scribe Hutchison concluded his annual report as follows:
 Repres sentat.ves. I trust that though the reuort for the six months submit ted to you shows a los of 42 that you will not think the interest in Patri- archal Odd Fellowship is waning in the good old state If Connecticut. It Is. true that the report for the six months ending Dec. 31, 1908. shows a loss, but for the year 1908 we show a gain of 102 and the subordinate lodges show a splendid gain for the term end ing June 30, 1909. Don't let us lose sight of our purpose to see 50 per cent Of the subordinate lodge membership of this good old state enrolled as mem- bers of the Patriarchal family; it may take some time to accomplish this, but if we aim and work for it and bring the great lessons of Patriarehal OdI Fellowship to the attention of ouI brothers in the subordinate lodges. we must and will succeed
