sent home, and then it would be lovely to have Zoo garden for tho little tots. We'd have to have an elephant of course; they cost a lot of money but maybe we could get secondhand one, or a make shift. Then there are those who would contribute their own pets, Zebediah Zip, the coon, Euripides, the rabbit. and per haps Becky Chuck of almost interna- tional fame. Then, too. we could all have autos with numberless joy rides therein, and know that should have lot of perfectly lovely new frocks (since the dressmaker would wait for her pay) to wear to the new library.
 One more thing about those hanging gardens. We might really hang the first person or persous who agitated or caused others to agitase a question that shall cause another added expense Or debt to this our debt-ridden. but beloved old town. until said town eau say, "We owe no man or womln or bank n penny" Sheffield is proad of it's freedom from debt.

debt that would have 8 measure, at least, of distinction and beauty of its own, and It would have satisfied the ma jority of the people which this make shift proposition never will, even if voted for.
 And now we will leave sentiment and speak of one thing more, and then this somewhat lengthy article will be finished. It is unkind to place many taxpayers in a mean and unfair position by proposing getting money by subscription. Those who do not want the Lime Go. office for a library will be forced, as it were. to subscribe something toward the raising of the sum because they will not want to be thought close Cor mean, some will call them). That is not right. We want to be allowed our opinion. We are kickers maybe, but so are the child labor people, the pure food law aSitators, and the kickers as rule are they who want good things for the many.
 In conclusion, let us say we want a hand in the towns new library as we are great readers and lovers of books. and we DON'T want makeshift, nor to be as good as compelled to raise money for one. A READER.

New Haven Road Installing System on
 Northampton Division.
 It is now expected that the new tele- phone system on the old Northampton division of the New Haven road, cover ing all the stations on this line and it's branches, which is being installed for the dispatching of trains in place of the telegraphing method so long in use, will be ready for actual operation in few weeks.
 The work on this system was started ill the fall of last year. By this system all the operators along the line will be ir close touch with the chief dispatcher s office
 The telegraphers just now are having their little row with the road because the company does not think the tele- graphers' committee should act as the representatives of the future train operators who do their business over the telephone.

A BOOK FOR BOTANISTS
Complete List of the Towering Plants
 and Ferns of Connecticut.

Complete List of the Towering Plants
 and Ferns of Connecticut.
 Bulletin No. 14, State Geological and Natural History Survey. "A Catalogue of the Towering Plants and Ferns of Connecticut" just published, is the work of Committee of the Connecticut Botanical Society. That Society in- cludes about one hundred members, some of them professional botanists, others amateur students of the scIence. For a number of years the members of this Society have given great deal of time to the collection and study of the towering plants and ferns of the state, and the work of the various members has been carefully collGted by com mittee consisting of the. following geutlemen:-Dr. 0. B. Graves. of New London; Dr. E. H. Flames. of Bridge port; c. H. Bissell, of Southington; l.. Andrews, of Southington; E. B. Harger, of Oxford; and c. A. Weatherby, of East Hartford.
 Engl.sh names of the different species are very fully given, including, so far as Iuown, the often whimsical names in use iu particular localities or among .,articular classes of people. Full in- formation is given in regard to the dis rribution of the plants over the state. In the case of rare species, and species local s,t 1yrtrf1,fiAt @ Nar~Afn los. localities are mentioned with the nanes )f the collectors. Attention is called to all plants having important economic relations, both those which are useful. and those which are injurious. N."
 In the introduction is given m inter- osting history of botanical work in the state from the earliest days; and in an ,ppcndix is included q statistical sum- nary of the plants of Connecticut. Readers may be interested to note that, according to the fullest information now available, there arc one thousand, nine hundred, and forty eight species of Towering plants and ferns which grow without cultivation within the limits of the state. Of these, one thousand, four hundred, and eighty seven are believed to be native to tho state, and four hun dred and sixty one have been introduced in some way by man. If to the number of species we add the number of forms dis tinct enough to receive names, but not believed to be entitled to specific rank, the total number of plants named in the book is two thousand, two hundred, and twenty eight.
 The book supplies long-felt need ,and will be heartily welcomed by all inter. ested in the plants of the state, and doubtless particularly by the teachers of science in the schools of the state.

WAGES RAISED
 ON RAILROADS
COMPANIES CONCEDE DEMANDS
The Aggregate Amounts to About $35,OO0,O0O AnnuaIIy-This is. i'm Addition to Increases Granted Four Years Ago.


 Addition to Increases Granted Four Years Ago. It is estimated that the general ad- vance now in progress in the wages of railroad employees will amount to- $35, ,o00, ,000 On account of the various forms in which the announcements of increases have been made, it is i'm possible to arrive at any definite figure but the above may be taken as a modsr-- ate estimate.
 The schedules offered by the New York Central, the New York, New New Haven & Hartford, the Boston & Albany and the Pennsylvania involve an aggregate increase of nearly 32D, ,oOo.- 900 annually, and these are only four of the railroads upon which advances. have been announced.
 Most of the advances granted since the first of the year have been percent age increases. Some however, arc i'm the form of so many cents an hour. and still others in the form of so many dollars month. Two of tho roads have simply announced the annual total which the advances granted would cost their treasuries, without giving details. The number of men benefited by these advances has ranged from..a few hundrsdl in the case of some companies. to. A@ many as 200, 900 in the case of the com+ pany with largest payroll. The nulnber of employees who have received wage increases since the first of the year wilE not fall far short of half million,
 The principal advances so far am nounced have been mads by the fol- lowing roads,
 Delaware, Lackawanna 6Western.- Baltimore & Ohio.
 Western Maryland.
 Lehigh Valley.
 Chicago, Indiana & Louisville.
 Chicago 6 Northwestern. Pennsylvania.
 New York, New Haven 6 HartforE PhIladelphia<S Reading.
 Norfolk 6 Western.
 New York Central and Allied Lines Boston & Albany.
 Erie.
 Atlantic Coast Line.
 Boston. Revere Beach & Lynn.
 This general advance i'll the wages. of railroad men is the second in n. period of four years. The last previouE. raise came in 19O6-l907. Soon after. in the fall of 1907, came the panic, but the railroads, despite the falling off in business, did not reduce the wages then. Thus the present increase comes on the top of the one four years ago.

 11--A party of gentlemen consisting of Robbins BatteIl and MT. Lawrence, of Norfolk, Lawyer Fyler, of West Win sted and 8 MT. Bradford, formerly con- nected with the Connecticut Western railroad as civil engineer, made tour of the mountains in the Taghkanic range, Salisbury, for the purpose of as- certaining their altitude. They found Bald Peak to be 1896 feet high, whieh, as far as has been accurately ascertained, is the highest land i'll the state, They thought, however, that away farther north, and before the range reaches the Massachusetts line, the peak known as Bear Mountain is higher, the exact alti- tude of whichis left for another time to obtain. These gentlemen gave us the following attitudes of high land, which. they tell us, were obtained by careful and accurate measurements. Next to Bald Peak (1996 feet) Mt Bradford (which, by the way, they said as it had no name they would christen it Mt. Bradford) which is about mile and a half west of Canaan Mountain pond, is found to be 1860 feet high. Bald Noun tain in Norfolk is TITO; Haystack Mountain, also ill Norfolk, 1672, and Ivy Mountain i'll Goshen, 1642. The high est point in Winchester is Chamberlain hill, 1480 feet. Canaan pond is 1450 and Mt. Riga in Salisbury between 1900 and I700. Spaulding's summit on the rail road near Norfolk is 1886 feet, measur- ing from top of the rails.
