Real Work for Kings

II the example set by King Gustave
of Sweden is followed by other SOW
ereigns, kings will become hard
working class
Disguised as a stevedore Gustave
spent almost the whole of one day
lately in unloading a coal lighter. He
had got job" and he worked with
the other stevedores unknown to them.
Like them he carried heavy sacks of
coal upon his back. At night his ma
jesty confessed that he was very tired.
And this Is only the beginning, the
King says. He intends to mix with all
classes OF laborers, doing the same
work that they do that he may learn
what their hardships are. He does not
say that he will live on the same wages
that they receive, and unless he does
he can learn only part of the story.
There have been of late many labor
troubles in Sweden. General strikes
have blocked business. King Gustave
tried to act as arbitrator but found
that he knew little of the actual condi-
tions under which workingmen live,
and it was hard for him to understand
their grievances. He therefore decided
to make himself one of them for q time
that he might have clearer ideas of
their needs.

Artificial Mirage

1t is no longer necessary to travel
the deserts of Africa or the burning
wastes of Arizona to see a real mirage
DIR. Robert W. Wood, professor of ex-
perimental physics at Johns Hopkins
university, is exhibiting to his classes
a miniature mirage that shows as per-
fectly as possible in a laboratory ex-
pertinent the realness and vividness of
this Illusion
Professor Wood produced the desert
with sheet of iron Is feet long, COW
cred with sand, which he heated with
gas burners.
A mirror reflected the sun upon
white sheet of paper at one end of the
artificial desert, which paper served as
the clear sky line.
When the sand got fairly hot and
one looked along it's surface at some
little piles of sand at the end toward
the white paper, one could almost be-
lieve that just little way in front of
the piles of sand there was a pool Of
crystal water on the sanded plate.

Useful Work of the Department
of Agriculture

In his annual report Secretary Will
son makes review of the scientific
labors Of the various bureaus of his
department.
tuberculosis among domestic an
imals. from cattle to hogs and chick
ems, has been only one of many sub
jects for study and experiment.
The cultivation of dry land forage
crops promises great things for the
arid region Of the west, where irriga-
tion is possible only over limited
area. New grasses and legumes (plants
of the clover family which thrive in
the south have been introduced there
and dairy farming encouraged.
The diseases of cotton, OF fruit and
forest trees and field and garden plants
have been studied and means found for
combating them
The bureau of soils has investi gated
the whole subject of adapting crops to
certain soils how wornout farms may
be made over and abandoned farms re-
settled with profit as so many prob
lens in chemistry. Entomologists have
have studied the gypsy and brown tail
moths and other insects injurious to
fruits and vegetables.

CONSUMPTION for Women

Women who wish to vote are often
met with the taunt that as they can't
serve in the army they ought not to ex-
peet the ballot.
The congress of Swiss women's so
cieties which has just been meeting al
Berne passed a resolution asking for
conscription for women. That is, they
asked the Swiss government to draft
them into the army as men are drafted
But these Swiss women do not expect
to fight They wish to act as nurses
for the sick and wounded soldiers; also
for relief work among the poor

Fine Work of Farmers

The summer of 1909 was remarkable
for its enormous crops Secretary Will
son shows that the value of farm
products has nearly doubled in 10
years. 1t is now so large that to most
people the figures have little meaning.
Among the products the corn crop
holds first place. It's value is immense:
$l720,000,000 or about $40 for every
man, woman and child in the United
states Cotton comes second; wheat
third Next in order are hay oats, po-
tatoes and tobacco In all, the farmers
of the United States produced from the
soil during the present year new
wealth to the unthinkable amount Of
$500, 100000, or about 500 for every
inhabitant. The farm is still the great
source of wealth.

How to Control "Wireless"

BY the old Roman law on which our
modern real estate-laws are based the
owner of land owned all above and be-

A resolution introduced into con-
gress by Representative Roberts OF
Massachusetts seeks to change this old
idea and establish public, national con-
troll of the air.
Mr.. Roberts says that there is great
need of such control. because thou

Tests for Army Officers

Former President ROOSEVELT estab-
lished some pretty hard endurance tests
FOR army officers Once every wear
every officer, of whatever age he might
be, was required to ride 80 miles on
horseback in three days or submit to
an equally strenuous walking test. Sec
retary of War Dickinson has asked to
have this changed. He says it requires
officers to be fit only once in a year,
whereas they should be required to
keep themselves constantly fit. The
secretary prefers less severe tests and
more of them.

Norwich bulletin., 1910-08-04

The Connecticut company found for tune hckle on Wednesday for just as the hundreds of Norwich people at the Beach day celebration at Ocean Beach. New London, began to make their way homeward the trolley wire on the Montville line came down and all cal- culations for the accomm odation of holiday crowds were completely upset As result of the accident, thousand or more people were waiting at 10 o'clock in the New London parade for an opportunity to get home, and the cars from Ocean Beach were adding to the number constantly. Instead of finding a string of extra cars ready to take them out of New London with out delay the early corners found things tied up. When the cars were that about 800 seized the opportunity of getting up to Norwich on the sec ond section of the boat train, arriving in this city shortly after midnight
 Motorman Walter Burdick started out from New London on the regular half hour Montville car time at 9.15 o'clock, with an extra box car fol- lowing him. The extra caused the trouble for as it was going down the grade at Benham avenue, between New London and Waterford switch, the troll ley arm pulled down the overhead work. The wire fell on the track and the whole line, as far north as Mont vile, was grounded. The heavy ground threw out the circuit breakers at the New London power station which sup plies the current for the line as far as the shut-oR in Montville, north of winch the power is from the Norwich station. Consequently the whole New London system was also paralyzed until as soon as possible, the Mont vile Hne was cut off from the other lines in New London by the switch at BuIIard corner.
 Inspector R. B. Ladd of this city. who was assisting Inspector Peter Ash in New London in handling the Beach day crowds. went out with Line Fore man Harry Mooney and his linemen as far as Bullard's corner and then, walk ing cut to where the wire was down, got it up off the track. More of the

wire fell as they were working on it. so that in all several pole lengths were down.
 About 10 o'clock the men had the wire up, removing the ground and permitting the power to be turned on once more
 Four extra cars were at the sand pit at Waterford and these with three oth- CTS from Norwich were used as trans fer cars on the north side of the break and others were sent out from the New London side.
 The car leaving New London at S.45 was at Montville before the break oc- cured and so reached Norwich on time at 9-45. The two cars that reached Norwich next arrived at about 11.30, one being sent up to Baltic and the other to the barn. More cars came soon. after 12, two more at 1245. one at 1.35 and another at 1.45.- At 11.So. after four trelley cars had left New London and two extra coaches had been attached to the Bar Harbor ex- press and packed full of people. the crowd on State street was considerably diminished.
 Had everything run smoothly the Connecticut company would have had seven extra cars besides the four doubled regulars on the Montville line to bring back the Norwich people,
 The big crowds that went down from this city and vicinity all the morning and afternoon kept the trolleymen busy The four regular cars were all doubled. however, and as was the case in New London the crowds were smoothly and expeditiously handled. The big riding was on the Ocean Beach line. of course and here the new double tracking proved decidedly convenient, but up at this end Day Starter w. H. Stebbins and Night Starter John Kin ney found their hands full. After the break Starter Kinney was particularly busy, but kept things well strengthened out.
 A constant stream of automobiles made their way from and through this city to the beach during the day and launch parties were numerous. The weather looked threatening all day, but there was no rain.

CAMPERS AND PIcNICKERS
 ANNOY GARDNER LAKE PEOPLE
Disregard of Private Property Around
 Popular Pleasure Ground.

Farmers around Gardner Lake are finding that there are some disadvan- tages in being so close to the neigh borhood of a. popular summer resort and many complaints are being regis tered by the residents of depredations committed by either campers or tran sient visitors to the lake. This sum- mer the lake has been enjoying a greater popularity than 1t has for sew eral summers and with the increased number of visitors has come greater annoyance from careless and thought less trespassers on the property of the residents.
 The Gardner Lake people say that the larger camping parties from dis tant points are quite generally careful respecters of property, but that the trouble is mostly with smaller parties from this vicinity. Tales of broken down stone walls, opened barways and wandering cows trampled flower and vegetable gardens and other depreda- tions are told that are making the Gardner Lake residents decidedly hos tile to their summer visitors.
