Horsepower of Autos

In giving the horsepower of it's motors the Plerce-Arrow Company uses the Li- censed association formula which does not take into direct account the stroke of the motor, the formula being based instead on piston travel of 1000 feet per minute. For the engineer, when he has the standard gearing of the car at hand. it is an easy matter to determine the number of revolutions of the motor to the distance travelled by the car in 8 minute and from that the number of miles per hour at which the car is going when it's piston speed is 1000 feet per minute. It has been found then that with it's standard gear the six-cylinder. thirty six horsepower Pierce. Arrow is going at rate of 38.38 miles an hour when the rate of piston travel is 1000 feet per minute, the forty-eight horse power car is doing 4021 miles an hour and the sixty-six horsepower Pierce Ar row 46.3 miles an hour.

THE COMET IN 1895
How 1t Looked to Hartford Seventy
 five Years Ago.


 This is tho second appearance of Halley's comet since the establishment of "The Courant" which is five years or SO too young to greet it for the third time. If the people of Connecticut con sidered the comet portent in 1885 they did not say so in print, nor doas it appear by the files Of "The Courant" that they were deeply impressed by it. The issue for October 13. 1885, contained the following comments upon It:-
 "Halley's Comet is now visible every clear night. Seen through good spy glass it presents small but very dis tinct and brilliant nucleus surrounded by spherical mass of light which seems several times larger than the planet Jupiter. A train of light springs upward from the comet to sn estimated height of elght or ton degrees, resemb- ling the coruscations of a faint North ern Light During the last ten days it has travelled with great visible rapidity toward the southwest. In one week, from the 10th to the 17th of October, it has traversed apparently one-quarter of the whole circuit of the heavens, from a north declination of 83 degrees to within IS degrees of the equator, and in the same time has gained IS degrees of right ascension"
 It was said in the same article that the comet would come nearest the sun on the night of November 19 and on the night of the 17th, phenomenal Aurora Borealis was noted which so impressed Yale professor that he wrote an account of it for publication which took three-quarters of column of "The Standardization Courant.

Peculiar Legal Complication

A peculiar point in law has arisen out of the automobile accident to Ce- phas B. Rogers of Meriden. who was severely injured in Washington, D. O.. some time ago. It seems the automobile that ran into him belonged to a local physician, but was being taken from his house to the Pope Hartford agency here by an employee of the agency. The point is raised by the physician that he is not responsible for damages as the driver of the car is not in his employ. The agency manager also objects to pay ing damages, as the car did not belong to him.

THE PRICE OF POTATOES
A Letter Which Gives Producers Some-
 thing to Think About.


 A communication in the Hartford Courant, signed Experience, gives the writer's views regarding the complaints of farmers on the subject of the low prices they are compelled to take for their potatoes. as follows:
 Your correspondents have been doing considerable writing lately as to the po- tato crop-why the tubers are just now seemingly a sort of drug in the market and the causes which, from their stand point, have forced the condition. I will not intrude on your space to go into the entire proposition, simply confining my self to the latest letter-that of the Wap ping correspondent, in which he declares the public cannot get bushel of pota- toes for less than 60 to so cents. AS a matter of fact, bought from city grocer only last week as fine potatoes as I ever ate at 50 cents the bushel, doubling the order again today at an advance of five cents the bushel. If the producer had not stored these potatoes away in the hope of perhaps dollar busheI, they would have been eaten long ago and the producer would have realized 10 to 15 cents more bushel without the trouble of storing, picking over for damaged tubers and then rehandling for shipment to a market temporarily stagnant, I know of number of nearby farmers who had potatoes up in the hundreds of bushels stored away for 0 raise when storage men were paying out-of-state producers as high as 60 cents by the dozen carloads.
 There is not crop produced on the farm that can be proftably used at the home more readily than the potato, and with any sort of luck-management-it can be produced at very reasonable cost. There is a fair margin of profit if sold aT 45 or 50 cents a bushel. If one does not care to sell at moderate prices, no farm product is susceptible of more di- versified uses that return fourfold than the potato. With pork at SIS the hun dred. poultry at $25 to $3O the hundred, eggs in quick demand at 30 cents dozen, milk at s to 9 cents a quart. pray why complain if the market for potatoes is oyerstocked when they are worth close to dollar bushel for feeding purposes, provided the caretaker is judicious with his feed?
 If the grocer, as Mapping says, got overstocked at 90 cents in the fall, the thrifty producer surely got that price, while the man with tine cellar fall was waiting for the dollar price. It is really matter of business tsct. If I can't get what seems to me fairly good cost price for my product, it is up to me to divert the crop to other channels that are sure winners.
 There are mighty few farms in all this big country to-day that are produc- ing 40 per cent of their capacity and the other 60 per cent. could be produced with comparatively trifiing additional cost. While the increased productive ness would or should materially reduce the price of many articles, the increase in quantity would more than pay the difference to the producer, while the public would be greatly benefited.

THE LAW OF THE ROAD
The Norwich Bulletin Urges More
 Care on Part of Drivers.


 A strong plea for better observance of the law of the road and the law of the state. especially by automobilists, is made by the Norwich Bulletin. It finds most of the present danger due to the multiplication of the machines and the incompetency of the men at the wheel or the worn and unreliable con- dition of the machines, many of which are unfit for speedy roadwork." This last clause refers to the multitude of old machines, sold at low price, which fall into the hands of incompetent and reckless drivers. And the Bulletin quotes with evident approval this state ment from another paper: "The ordi- nary, sensible, responsible motorist needs no suggestion. His first hour on the road any pleasant day impresses the need of caution. The addlepate. the speed maniac, the daredevil, the whole company of hair brained reckless autolsts to whom casualties are ascribable can only be kept within bounds by strong hand"

Kind Words for New Haven Road.

The New York, New Haven 6 Hart ford Railroad got first-class notice re- gently in 8 speech by Senator Newlands of Nevada. He spoke of it as one of the best-administered railroad systems in the country. "When it was originally incorporated, he said, Lit was prevented by law from declaring dividends of more than 10 per cent, thus compelling all profits in excess of that amount to go into the improvement and the better ment of the road; and there certainly is not @ more perfect machine in the United States for transportation"
