Ten millions of our people inhabit dwellings inferior to the kennels pro- vided for the hounds in we'll man. aged hunt. The results of living in dwellings unfit for human habitation and the prevalence of a dietary scale from which English meat. bread and milk are excluded are fatal to success full rivalry with a virile and healthy race where agriculture is fostered for strategical reasons.

SCHOOL WAR IN
 HUNTINGTON

The electors of the town of Hunt ington and the Huntington Town School committee have locked horns over the closing of the Lower White Hill district school, the town taking the matter to the courts. The plain tiffs desire a mandamus writ to be issued compelling the School commit tee to reopen the disputed school. Pa pers in the action were filed in the Superior court here today.
 The School committee, which includes William Kruer. John w. Cribbons. Ed ward J. Buckingham, Zina c. Beard, Edwin J. Keeler and Cornelius F. Mur- phy, decided some time ago to close the school. At a meeting of the cleo tors of the town held on Oct. 2S, 1908, a committee of three were appointed, Jeremiah Sharp, Nathan Bennett and James Glove, to ask the School com mittee to reopen the school, and if the request was refused to employ counsel and if necessary to take the matter to the courts. The request was re- fused, the mandamus writ being ask ed for.

DIVING BELL SPIDERS.
Gathering Air For Use In Working
 Under Water.

Gathering Air For Use In Working
 Under Water.
 The diving bell spiders gather air to use just as a soldier might draw wa ter and dispose it about his person in water bottles. They do this in two ways, one of which is characteristic of many of the creatures which live both in and out of the water, as the spider does. The tail of the spider is GOV cred with black, velvety hair. Putting its tail out of the water, it collects much air in the interstices of the vel vet. It then descends, when all this air drawn down beneath the surface collects into single bubble, covering its tail and breathing holes like coat of quicksilver. This supply the spider uses up when at work below until it dwindles to a single speck, when it once more ascends and collects fresh store.
 The writer has seen one of these spiders spin so many webs across the stems of water plants in a limited space that not only the small water shrimps and larvae, but even a young fish, were entangled. The other and more artistic means of gathering air employed by the spider is to catch a bubble on the surface and swim below with 1t. The bubble is then let go into a bell woven under some plant, into which many other bubbles have been drawn. In this diving bell the eggs are laid and the young matched under the constant watch of the old spider London Saturday Review.

Inhaiinu Water,

Undoubtedly the majority of bathers who are drowned meet their deaths from cramp. Cramp is liable to seize anybody at any moment, and when it comes in deep water few swimmers have sufficient presence of mind to turn on their backs and wait quietly until the attack has departed. So they go under. But there is another danger quite as imminent as cramp, though it is probably less known. This is wa ter inhaling. A swimmer or even a wader Is always liable to inhale spray through his nostrils, which, passing through the pharynx and behind the epiglottis or windpipe guard, gets into the windpipe and causes death. AS one would expect, water inhaling is almost wholly confined to the sea and very rarely occurs in fresh water. All the same, it may happen anywhere Exchange.

SWINGING THE ARMS.
The Habit a Relic of the Time When
 Man Went on All Fours.

The Habit Relic of the Time When
 Man Went on All Fours.
 Sir Victor Horsley, featuring before the Medical society of London, ex. plained our habit of swinging the arms when walking, which he stated was quite unnecessary, as relic of the days when we walked on all fours. Then we had to use arms as we'll as legs. Although their use serves no purpose when walking upright, we still keep on moving all four limbs alternately or in progression. Sir Vic tor set forth some new facts concern ing the functions of the cerebellum, the mysterious and little understood hind part of the brain.
 Primarily the cerebellum must be regarded" said the lecturer, "as sen- sorry organ which has an important part in the correct perfSrmance of many of our automatic acxons Walk ing, standing and running are good examples of such actions, which can not be accurately carried out without a normal, well balanced cerebe1lum. Newborn animals cannot stand. They sprawl, and before they can stand, walk or run they must acquire this power. For conveniences in life this ability to stand must be secured with out the animal having consciously to think what he is doing. The fully de- veloped cerebellum supplies this power unconsciously.''
 In proof of this Sir Victor pointed out that the cerebe1lum of a full grown cat showed fully developed cells and fbers, whereas in newborn kit tens the brain in the cerebellar portion is not yet organized into active nerve tissues.-New York Times

Stolen Place Names.

There are many stolen place names outside Lancashire, the most fragrant instance of theft being afforded by Etruria, in Staffordshire, which an- nexed this name because Wedgwood's copies of Etruscan pottery were manu- factured there Then in Wales we find Bethesda and Hebron, and in Scotland Joppa, Alexandria and Porto bello. Valentia, off the Irish coast, is named after the Spanish town, but this is hardly case of theft, as the Span iards themselves bestowed the name on the island. Aspatria, in Cumber- land, looks like a name f1lched from Italy, but is in reality a corruption of Gospatrick.-London Chronicle.

SIDNEY J. SMITH
 ADMITS GUILT
Passed a Forged Check Up on HI. J. Edwards of This Git

Sidney J. Smith. who passed a forged check upon H. J. Edwards of this city, last week. and was brought to this city yesterday by Detective Fox from Hartford. was held for the criminal superior court this morning by Deputy Judge Wilder. Smith pleaded guilty. He is held in bail of $700. Since he admitted his guilty no testimony was taken.
 Smith is wanted in several cities, among them Worcester. Boston. New York and Fftchburg, He has been bleeding members of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The way he worked MT. Edwards of this city is a sample of his method. MT. Edwards is the president of the local assembly. Smith went to him with a check which was signed with the name of National Treasurer Adams, whose office is in Boston. The check was made payable to L. c. Blake which name Smith then bore. Smith showed MT. Edwards the check with the face value of $24.50, saying that he had received it from the treasurer, MT. Adams and wanted it cashed. MT. Edwards cashed the check which he turned in to his bank. The check was returned and marked forged.
 The local police were notified and they in turn notified several other cities, among them Hartford. Smith was caught, in the office of P. J. Jones where he tried to obtain a loan of $10. Smith is wanted in New York for grand larceny. He is about 45 years of age and looks like a. business man.

 SAVE HIS UNCLE
Confessed Jewel Thief En- dures Humiliating Exam
 nation in City Court
MRS. COLE IS NOT PRESENT

The case against MT. and Mrs Abra- ham Lebenthal of Stratford avenue. and their nephew, Morris Gordon, the trolley conductor. who are charged with the theft of s5, 900 worth of jewels which Gordon admits having found on the running board of his trolley car, June 25, was taken up to-day and was full of sharp interchanges between Prosecuting Attorney Alexander De- Laney for the state, assisted by Judge E. K. Nicholson, representing Mrs. Cole, and Attorney Henry Greenstein, who is defending the Lebenthals.
 Mrs. Cole the owner of the jewels, being in poor health, was not present.
 MT. Cole identified the remains of his wife's jewelry. Some of the bent and broken pieces bore the name of his wife or of himself and others were in such shape that he couldn't describe them fully. Some of them he was not able to identify. Attorney Greenstein objected to MT. Coles identifying the jewelry but the court held that it was sufficient.
 Gordon told practically the same story on the witness stand he did to Captain Arnold yesterday.
 On the cross examination by Attor- ney Greenstein, Gordon was put through very trying grill. He DTOuSnC out the IdCL LudL 0OTuOu lieu when he filled out his application for a job on the trolley cars Gordon ad- mitted that he had denied ever work ing on a trolley car when in fact he had worked several months in New York and Brooklyn as a conductor.
 When Gordon went to New York to see his brother, who is a jeweler about the jewels. he lied again. He reported to the company that he was sick, when as a matter of fact he was we'll. Wherever there was an oppor- tunfty Attorney Greenstein would ask: You lied when you said that, didn't you? You know you were lying didn't your" Gordon never denied his falsehoods but explained them all say ing:
 T lied to save my uncle.'' The ex- animation and cross sexamination of MT. Cole and Mr. Gordon occupied so much time that an adjournment of one hour was taken at 1 o'clock. MT. Le- benthaPs two small children were in court this morning with Mrs. Leben thai. The older one looked at his father in the pen and cried frequent ly. When the father saw his child weeping he himself wept and the tears rolled down his face. Jacob Vein stein who agreed to go bond for Le- benthal yesterday backed down at the last minute and Lebenthal was forced to spend the night in jail. Until he saw his child crying he appeared very unconcerned and sat in the pen calm ly reading a newspaper during the re- cess before his case was called. Dur ing the trial Lebenthal sat at his counsers elbow and whispered to him frequently.

Much Married,

The following. taken from 'Evelyn's Diary" refers to Dutchwoman who lived in the seventeenth century: ''To- wards the end of August returned to Haarlem. They showed us a cottage where, they told us. dwelt a woman who had been married to her twenty fifth husband and. being now widow. was prohibited to marry in the future. yet it could not be proved that she had ever made away with any of her husbands. though the suspicion had brought her divers times into trouble" :"

Dolphin and FIyinq Fish,

A ship was lying at anchor at Boca Grande, says the Punta Gorda Herald, lately when the crew observed a dol phin chasing flying fish, both coming directly toward the ship. On nearing the vessel the hier arose in the air and passed over the bow just abaft the foremast. As it did so the dolphin went under the ship and, coming up on the other side, sprang from the water and caught the flying fish on s'the f1y'' just as it was curving grace fully down in its descent to the water.

 "When I was a soaring human boy my father took me up the Rhine by boat with the hope and expectation that my mind would be improved by contemplating its lovely and historic banks. Wearying of this feast very soon. I slipped down to the cabin to enjoy one more congenial, that of Rob, inson Crusoe.' But some family trai- tor betrayed me. and, protesting even with tears that I hated views, I was dragged to the deck again.
