TEMPORARY BRIDGE ACROSS
RIVER DEEMED NECESSARY

The board of public works will ask
the council this morning to appro-
pirate $1,000 for a temporary bridge
across the river at Main street, and
to give it authority to advertise for
bids.
This temporary structure is made
necessary by the construction of the
magnificent new Main street bridge,
for which plans have been drawn and
the contract let. AS the new perma-
nent structure will occupy the same
place as the one now in use, it is
necessary to build temporary bridge
to one side.

lntelIiaence of insects.

Z Thp nIent;;i processes of the horse
and the dog are those of man in much
lower degree. in the view Of Professor
y. 4. Harvey of Michigan, but the IN
telIireuce of insects must be OF very
different kind. The double nerve cord
and gangilu differ both in structure
and position from the brain and spinal
cord of man. Insects eyes are I'M
movable and compound and perceive
motion and color, but not form. Ants.
bees, wasps and other insects have not
hearing. Taste and smell cannot be
identical with those senses in man, and
feeling is a perception through touch
hairs instead of the skin. But insects
have very acute senses that we do not
possess. A cecropia moth can perceive
a female a mile or more away, al
though q mar could not detect 1t un-
der the same conditions at a distance
of more than six inches, and ants. ees
and wasps seem to have other use
located, like this, in the ~antennae. Dlr'
| fering from man in general structure
with shorter lives and different living
the insects have intelligence that
though of a high order, is not easy
for us to understand.-New York

the close of the Civil War was
said to be 1000, SIG, but granting
that this was true, 1T cannot be
used as a basis for calculation as
it overlooks the men who were
once soldiers but no longer in the
ranks after the surrender, says
a northern wri4er commenting
upon the sucject and claiming,
in defense of the large pension
roll, that it is made up both from
survivors of the Civil War and
the marines as well. However
that may be, this pension bust
ness is largely a fraud and a
humbug. There are many deser-
wing pensioners and much too
large a number receiving pensions
who never met with a single mis-
hap during the whole time the
war was in progress.

THE GERMAN Way

1t is said that if war were to be
declared between Germany and
any other civilized country the
German Empire would be more
quickly in a position to take the
field than her antagonist. The
claim is made that all German
railway cars are built for war
first and freight and passengers
afterwards. Every truck has
characters on it's side, which,
while conveying no information
to the casual observer, tell the
actuall number of horses or men,
weight Of guns or munitions OF
wa.r that the car is capable OF
carrying.
On the Russian frontier the
subjects of the Gar have made
their lines of railway on a guage
different from that of the Ger
mans, the object being to foil an
invasion by means of the rail-
roads. But the Germans, it is
said, are meeting anticipated diff
|ficulty by equiping each of their
cars with wheels that can be
adapted to fit any guage. In
| order that they may be quickly
available in time of war every
horse in the German empire is
registered with the police and the
records are possession of the wal
department. The sale of a horst
cannot be legally consumatet
without this formal registration
of the transfer and the recort
contains a complete description O
the animal, giving ri detail
which would make it possible t
collect the horses by means of tn
records, with almost perfect assn
rance as to their suitability an
) usefulness.
These are only small example

She Can Eat Pie NOW.

A lady recently visited a friend in
Keene, N. H, whose husband was very
delicate, and yet she noticed that he
could eat all the pie he wanted. She
began to wonder how it was that he
could do it, when she had to give up this
delicacy because of disagreeable after
effects. She writes as follows:

made with Cottolene; and as L am d.
great lover of pie, I began using Cot

KEEPING The Faith CD,

In the various speeches which
the President made during his re-
cent thirteen thousand-mile swing
around the country he left little
doubt as to what his policy may
be>with reference to certain pollt-
ical questions now confronting
the American people. Mr.. Taft
expressed his intention to recon-
mend good many measures to
the next Congress. He doubtless
expects many of his recommen-
dations to fail, but evidently de-
sires to shift the responsibility
for any failures to legislative
shoulders where he says it be-
longs. If measures he suggests
fail to pass he will declare to the
people that Congress alone is to
blame. Our President is evil
IDENTIFY a successful poser and
this play to the galleries will be
awaited with more or less inter-
terest by the people generally.
Mr.. Taft was elected, as prob
ably some millions still remember,
to carry out the policies of his
predecessor, MI. Theodore Roose-
welt. The people of this country
still remember what those policies
were and both the majority ir
Congress and the President OF
the United States are in honor
bound to make performance {
fact. President Taft was for {
long time a member of the Roose
welt cabinet and deliberatel!
chosen for the Roosevelt mantl,
and the Big Stick. He has saiC
that he knows better than an.
other republican what the Roose
welt policies were and it is nov
up to him to see that they ar
carried out to the letter. Sine
every intelligent man in Americ
is also informed upon this poin
it will be well for the Presider
to be on guard at every turn
the proceedings, if he hopes It
succeed in convincing the peopl
Of his sincerity in carrying 'or
the pledges of the republica
party last year to bring abol
needed reforms in our Nation;
laws.
It is recalled that the part
played in the enactment of tt
new Tariff law last winter tent
to convict him Of playing in b;
faith rather than keeping h
ante-election promises.
