MOTHS AT WALLlNGFORD
State EntomoIogist Makes Startling
 DiscoverY

E. H. Jenkins, of the Connecticut Ag- ricultural Experiment. Station and w. E. Britton, the entomOlOgist of the sta tion, made an investigation of the gypsy moth in the borough of Wallingford re- gently, with startling results. It was found that region about a quarter of a mile south of the railroad station be- tween the main street and the railroad was infested by the moth. The area is not less than a quarter of mile in length and of indefinite width. Four men employed by the station destroyed no less than 100 nests of the moths which were found mainly on the apple and maple trees.
 The station, with the aid of the bor- ough of WallingfOrd, will further in vestigate the area of the pest and destroy all the nests that are easily accessible. In the area were found the cases of the moth indicating that they Were present last year, but had not been discovered.
 The only other place in the state where the moth has been found is Stonington, and the discovery of the large number of the nests in Walllngford is regarded as extremely serious, especially after the experience of Massachusetts, which has spent $2, ,0O0, ,000 in trying to exterminate the pest.
 Because of these insects being found so numerous it might be we'll for the farmers to inspect thelr orchards while the moths are not working because they are very destructive to the growth ot trees and the life of trees are easily killed by these pests.

MILLIONS OF FISH
Records Made by One Boat During the
 Menhaden Season.

Between 1880 and 1881 the farmers and fishermen along the Connecticut shore were convinced that the whitefish or menhaden had disappeared from Long Island Sound and the raw fish ceased to be used as fertilizer, simply because they could not be obtained. Of late, however, the fish have returned to their old haunts, and, according to the "New London Day." one fishing steam boat took almost as many last summer as a whole seasons catch used to amount to.
 The steamboat in question is the Leander Wilcox from Stonington, and the Day" says of her that during five months last summer and fall she took 81, ,465 barrels of menhaden, which is equal to 24 ,439, GOO fisk. It is little won der that the residents of the summer colonies notice an odor of decayed fish at various points along the shore.-Hart- ford Courant.

By His Brother Railroad Commission

By His Brother Railroad Commission
 CTS.
 The board of railroad commissioners has put on its records an appreciation of the official services of Hon. Orsamus R. Fyler, as member of the board. The minutes, which were adopted at a meet ing of the commission held November 23, as follows:
 State of Connecticut, Office of the Board Of Railroad Commits
 sioners.
 The Honorable OrSamus R. Fyler, member of this board since July | 1897, died at his home in Torrington, Novem- Der g, 1909. We his surviving associates, desire to place on record our appreciation of the valuable services rendered by him in his official capacity.
 He was man possessed of a forceful character, born to be a leader of men; i; with strong convictions. superior busi- ness ability, foresight, sound judgment, and a wise counselor-not calculated to be an inactive factor in any organization to which he belonged. These qualities rendered his advice exceedingly valuable i'll the deliberations of the various mat ters brought before this Board. His re- lations with his associates were invaria- bly, cordial, friendly and harmonious, and they feel his death to be distinct personal loss to them, creating a vacancy exceedingly difficult to fill.
 A copy of these minutes will be foI- warded to Mir. Fyler's family.

 The cockney handed the elephant half a crown, and, sure enough, he took it ir his trunk and placed it ill box high ur out of reach.

CANAAN DEFEATED
 HOUSATON|C FIVE
BY THE LARGE SCORE OF 55-27
In Slow and Uninteresting Game the Local Five WaIIoped Visitors Last Thursday Evening Canaan ites Toss Baskets at Will.

At the hands of the fast Canaan bas- ketball five, the Housatonic team suf fcced a severe defeat i'll the town hall last Thursday evening, the score being 55 to 27. One thing that caused the game to bo so slow v-2s that the visitors wore tennis shoes and as they did not stick to the slippery floor, the Canaan boys had a circus keeping out of the way of their opponents. During the first three minutes of play neither team scored and it appeared at this time of the game as If 1t would be close, but then the locals got warmed up in good style and ha tho visitors lost. When the members of both teams did meet on tho floor there was some good blocking displayed and it showed that the Housa- tOniCs had played the game before. Both teams had many open chances to make baskets when directly under the hoop. but their eyesight seemingly was poor and the spectators were more or less dissatisfied with the work The OobcA AhoO HUI "Ol h "uo OAhlblOCo U ) the town team and it was actually a practice game. French and Barnes of the Housatonics did the best playing for the visitors as they secured twenty-three of the twenty-seven points ana the other four were made by White who also did we'll in blocking. Scott as usual tossed the ball through the hoop the greatest number of times for Canaan and the fact that he did not get more than he dld was that he did not try and also that in the last half of the game he and l Hogan, center and forward changed thelr positions to guard and center res pectively and the regular guards played forward positions. Joyce was put in in the second half instead of Wigglesworth and although he dld not get any baskets he did good work guarding. The one thing that principally killed the game was that the local boys had to play with the visitors i'll order to keep the score down so that it would not look ridicu- lous and at various time the Housatonics were passed the ball by the Canaan boys and given open shots, but most of them were failures.

Christmas Joy and Sadness

Christmas is almost here again. Many home will ring on Christmas morning with shouts of merriment, for nowhere in the great, wide world is the Christ mas season more generally observed thnu in our own loved America.
 Yet there will be some homes upon which will fall the shadows, for death. the great leveler of rank and condition, has been busy and from n home here and there he has taken loved one, and where year ago was joy and gladness. the mistletoe and the holly will this year stand as symbols of grief,
 In homes, little hands which clasped toys year ago are now still. Voices that murmured the name of mamma" are hushed and III the stiffness of Christ mas dawn mother will involuntarily listen for pattering footsteps which never more will come. Santa Claus will miss some of the stockings he filled last year. But who shall disclaim that from that world of light, from whence came the angels with their songs of glad tid- ings and peace on earth, to men good will, that these little ones may not the coming Christmas look down upon fa- ther and mother, brother and sister and with the reflected smile of Bothlehem's babe send greetings to lonely hearts sad dened by even the Christmas time.

100, THE NEW TALK
Professor Jesperson Says it is the
 Simplest Language.

Professor Jesperson Says it is the
 Simplest Language.
 Professor Otto Jesperson, Columbia University's visitor from Copenhagem and an authority on the English lan- guage is a strong supporter of Ido, the newest language, which he thinks is the simplest and best yet made.
 "Esas posibla lernar duo or tri stran- jera lingul, ma la max multi homi ne havas la necesa tempo pr ,ernlr ta Cu tri lingui sat bonum," says he, and there you are, why not.
 Professor Jesperson. as a member of the most recent international committee for adopting universal language which was appointed in Paris in 1907 and conceived, developed and sent out into the world the language which it deemed best adapted to be the second to each individual tongue, is surely the man to tell just how this remarkable thing is done, this speedy supplemon mt ing with the brain a natural institution old as mankind.
 This up-to, date way of making a lan- guage necessitates a library and linguis- tic scholars, comparison and compilation. All the European languages are carefully gone O. CT, these roots are selected which appear in the largest number of the Ian guages, regular system is instituted of word building with the aid of the most limited possible number of atfixes and grammatical terminations, so as to pre- vent any danger of a creeping in of na. tioSal idioms; there is doing away with accented letters so as to make the Ian guage printable anywhere, phonetic spelling from first to last is supplied, and there you are. The international Ian. guage, first to none but second to all stands forth complete, ready to be learned at few hours notice.
