The manufacture of Carlsonite, the new explosive, for which a company was formed and recently incorporated. comprising J. O. Roraback, A. V. A. Felten, J. Henry Rorabaok, Harry A. Holt,, of Canaan. and Edgar l.. Hopkins of Hartford, and of which J. H. Rora- backof Canaan is president. mention of which was made in the last issue of the NEWS, is to be begun soon in the village of Melrose, few miles outside of Hart ford. A plant, capable of turning out a daily output of 20 tons, has been secured and the explosive will, ere long be ready for marketing.
 A Marvellous Explosive -
 Carlsonite, according to the claims of its promoters, has an explosive force many times greater than dynamite and does away with the dangerous features of dynamite, while accomplish ing the same amount of work with about one third the amount of explosive.
 The detonation of Carlsonite is not as heavy as that of dynamite nor of giant powder. It does not have to be frozen to render it's handling safe. It cannot be exploded by heat nor by simple con- cussion. It is fired only by the use of a powerful detonator.
 The result is an explosive that is easly handled, safely transported and which is sure to practically revolution ize present methods of using explosives.
 What It Has Show Uuder Test
 At Wehawkin, N. J., where recent test was made, 12 pounds of Carlsonite was used and experts i'll the use of other high explosives. who saw the test, de- declare that Oarlsonite, to the amount of twelve pounds disloged as much rock and did the work as effectively as would S6 pounds of dynamite tried under into consideration that millions of pounds of high explosives are used in New York city alone on construction and general contract work each week, to say nothing of the demand that is constant from other sources, some idea may be gained of the probable demand for the wonderful product which is soon to be placed on the market by this company of Canaan men.
 Not Necessary to Isolate the Plant
 So safe is the manufacture of Carl sonite that it it is not even necessary to isolate the plant where it is made. It is an impossibilty to explode it except in the regular way, by the use of the powerful detonator. It is tamped into drill holes in the rock or whatever place it's use is desired, much in the manner of other explosives and is set off by electricity.
 The prospects ahead look most flat tering for this Canaan venture and it is expected that once the plant gets under rway and the product is marketed that the demand for it will be so large that increased facilities for production will become matter of early necess- ity.

Whats the difficulty between our esteemed contemporaries the Eagle of Pittstield and the Courier of Great Bar rington, that they so consistently make faces' at each other? Now in France they settle this thing with the sword or the pistol. But don't waste yourselves brethern the NEWS doesn't go to press until Wednesday afternoon and if there is to be anything doing" Tn the i'm terim, that will make a good story, kindly send us the tip and we'll give it AS point head, first page, triple step, pyramid secondary and double lead the story. In these dull vacation days, gen. tlemen, don't waste material like that, Just think what fine story it would make-two esteemed Massachusetts editors in actual sword play. Why. even Lew Stone of Winsted, would forget his frog stories for such news material as that, and as for the rest of us-well, Reno wouldn't be in it with the crowd such 8 contest would draw from the newspaper fraternity. So let me beg of you, gentlemen. don't waste your selves when it gets down to actual business when news this weather is at a | premium. Now comes the Governor of Florida with a proposition to present silver spoon to every 18th child born in every family in the state. We don't know how that proposition will work out down in Florida but in Connecticut one spoon would go long way for the next century.

MISS STONE RESIGNS The SupeTiOteRdency of
 Canaan Schools.
To Accept a Similar Po-
 sition Elsewhere.

Miss Harriet M. Stone has notified the CaIfaan School board that she is desirous of accepting a position offered her as Superintendent in an other section of the state and that she desires to be relieved from her duties here the com ing fall.
 It is understood that she is to acoept the position of School Superintendent for Wethersfisld and Canton Schools at an advance salary and that she hopes to enter upon her duties there with the opening of the fall term.
 The Canaan school board have not yet selected her successor, but will do so, it is understood, ata meeting to be held a little later in season. Just who will succeed to the snpsrintendenoy here is at present uncertain. The school board is said to have one or more persons in mind, but as yet are not pre- pared to give out any definite iuforma- ton on this point, but it is probable the next superintendent will be man.
 Miss Stones services here have been very satisfactory. She is regarded aa one of the best superintendents in the state and she will be genuinely missed when she comes to leave the schools of Canaan.

Mrs. Flittson-I declare to goodness, your judgment is getting worse every day!
 Flittsen-What's the matter now?
 Mrs. Flittson-Why, on so many oc- casions you have declared that Mrs. Shapeler had a husband who tried his best to be kind and indulgent, but this mornings paper says he attacked her yesterday and nearly killed her.
 Flittson-Why, that account proves my claim.
 Mrs. FlittsoD-Proves your claim that he tries his best to be kind and indul- gent?
 Flittson-Yes; haven't you often heard his wife say she wished she was dead ?-Chicago News.

The Roman Ora m a.

If any have thought that the Latin
play, "Temporibus Hominis Arpinatis, !"
to be presented June 21, 1910, in the
newly constructed theater on the cam
pus, is something that will not appeal
to them because they know no Latin, it
is hoped that the following brief state
ment will disabuse their minds of so
erroneous an idea. To begin with,
action is in itself universal language,
and the action of this drama tells its
own story from start to finish, albeit
every word that is spoken is in the
Latin tongue. Such was the united
testimony of all who saw the presenta-
tions ten and eleven years ago. The
libretto, also, presents on pages that
face each other the Latin and English
versions of the text; and these pages
will be even more plentifully supplied
than they were before with detailed ex-
planatory matter. Lastly, the supple
mentary four-page descriptive folder of
the centennial year will be enlarged to
eight pages, that every phase of each
situation may be clearly understood by
all. While, therefore, there is a GER
tain intellectual pleasure in following
with more or less completeness of ap-
prehension the very words that fall
from the lips of the actors, it may very
well be doubted whether, in view of the
fact that such printed aids are furnished
and that the ocular evidence of the
action is the greatest aid of all, the
spectator with knowledge of Latin is
any surer of an evenings intelligent
enjoyment than his friend in the next
seat who knows no Latin at all. Life is
something more than language and in
the presentations that are being ar
ranged the old Roman life is to be
brought back and lived again for few
fascin mating hours; if one has eyes to see,
there is no question but that those
hours will be filled with profit and de-
light. So, whether one is familiar with
the Latin tongue or not, the counsel
that he secure his seats from Mr.. Egg
bert c. Hadley is as wise as it is friend
ly; as Caesar would probably have put
1t, let him "come, see, and-be con-
Quered'

hoped that there may be a large at

dent Kenyon L. Butterfeld of the Mas
sachusetts Agricultural College, is an
expert of national reputation in the

intercollegiate Debate.

The Intercollegiate debate between
Middlebury and Clark college scheduled
for May 9Th should interest every one
conversant with the public questions of
today. There are no problems of more
vital Importance than those which are
being forced upon us by the struggle be-
tween labor and capital, and of these
the question of the union shop is one of
the most prominent. Not every one un-
derstands how much there is bound up
in this question.
Sometimes even laboring men do not
realize just what it is that their leaders
are trying to secure for them in their
demand for the closed shop. Again any
intelligent discussion of this ques-
ton takes one to quite considerable
degree over the whole labor field The
coming debate promises to be interest
ing and instructive.
By process of elimination the three
following men were chosen by three
members of the faculty, to represent
the college in the coming contest with
Clark.
Richard A. Currier 1910
William Richmond 1911
Clinton S. Reynolds 1913
All three men have shown up well in
the preliminaries and a good debate is
expected.
The board of judges for the evening
will consist of Hon. E. j. Ormsbee of
Brandon, Hon. l.. S. Norton of Ben
nington, and Rev. l. C. Smart of Bur
lington. Tickets for the Debate will be
on sale at Sterns Drug Store, Monday
morning May 2. Dancing, with music
furnished by the college orchestra will
follow the debate.
