CHEMISTS FUTURE CITY.
a Dream Of Science as Applied to Every.
day Life.

day Life.
Coal heats our homes and offices,
drives our machines-and also covers the
city with the foulest SCOT and CRIME. But
IN the future city, and in the beautiful
suburbs all around the rumbling, clatter-
ing coal truck will be replaced by a mod
est unubtrusive wire running under
ground. Through this wire will pass from
some huge central dynamo plant an cleo
trio current-power This power will heat
our homes, light our homes, clean our
homes. cook our food, black our boots,
carry us upstairs, slave for US in a
hundred ways Every machine in the
city will be run by the same tanned giant
In this city to-day there is a law that no
man may keep hogs in his back yard or
in his house. In the years before US the
same law will apply to coal, which Is
worse than forty hogs. And the cities
OF the future will have not so much as a
wreath Of smoke between them and the
heavens" says writer in Everybody's
Magazine.

food itself? Meat we have already COW

made by machine are somewhat more

seems more dainty. The point I want to
make is that you can have 'em cheap.
The science OF market gardening has
only just begun but even in these first
few years the chemists in this line have
shown us hints Of astounding pOssibii-
ties. And I'm the famous gardens that

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS
Special Corporation Meeting Monday
Niuht.

A special meeting of the voters in the
Bellows Falls village corporation has
been called to be held in the opera house
next Monday night at 7.30 o'clock to take
action on the three following articles:
The first refers to hearing the report
of a committee on new bylaws This
is a matter which has been hanging along
ever since the new charter or the village
was adopted four years ago. That char
ter provided that the old bylaws should
be in effect until new ones were adopted
by the village. A committee on bylaws
was appointed of which DR. George II.
Gorham was chairman. At the annual
meeting in January the committee were
ready to report, but the village voted
that the new bylaws be printed and they
will be distributed tomorrow or Monday,
leaving short time for the voters to know
their contents. The most important
change from the old code is getting the
control of the erection Of new buildings
or rebuilding of old into the hands of
building inspector who may be appointed
by the board of trustees. The principal
object of this new bylaw is that the
fire hazard of the village may be con-
trolled by some responsible officer.
The second article refers to the needed
improvements to our sewer system. An
expert sewer engineer has been employed
20 resurvey the system, and recommend
changes, and his report shows the esti-
the aggregate of all the Improvements
amount to a number Of thousand dollars,
il is expected the voters will take it up,
approving at the present time such
changes as are absolutely necessary and
leaving others until some future years.
This will spread the cost over a number
of coming years.
The third article is to hear the report
of the committee on a public playground,
and take action thereon. This committee.
of which NJ. II. Ray is chairman, was
chosen in the annual village meeting. Their
report will show that the large plot Of
ground in the vicinity of, and including,
Wiliams's orchard, contains over 40 acres,
largely of woodland overlooking the
village, and it can be procured. if it is
to be used for public purposes. for the
price of $4,000 The matter of the play
ground for the children of Bellows Falls
seems to be one of the most important
questions for the immediate future. 1t
is an absolute necessity for the well
being of future generations that some
public playground be instituted to keep
the boys off the streets. This tract Of
land is the only available place for both
playground and park The timber stand
ing on the land has been estimated to be
easily worth $4,000 to $500 The portion
of the Williams estate includes all the
valuable building lots lying north of Will
Hams terrace street. west of the Almon |.
Bolles place The late James II. Will
liams (2nd) in laying out the terrace into
building lots, placed prices upon these
building lots at which they could he sold
separately for an aggregate of $4,000
The village can now have these lots, the
Williams Orchard property and nearly
40 acres OF hill timherland for $1,000
as stated, and it would be very unwise for
the voters to decline to accept it.

PlOwed Up $3.50 in Gold Coins.

f. Clifton Witt, 16 was crossing a
freshly plowed field owned by relative
In Belchertown, Mass, recently when he
saw something yellow in a furrow. 1t
was a $50 gold piece. He looked into the
furrow again and picked up two more
coins, $40 gold pieces. In the evening he
told his parents of his discovery and the
next morning the entire family dug for
treasure, and inside of 10 minutes
unearthed 500 In gold pieces. The treas
ure seekers continued to rake over the
ground until they had secured a total of
$2S9, and in addition a Spanish dubloon
dated 1905. The gold pieces are all fresh
in appearance and there may be premi-
ums on some OF them. All of the coins
were exhibited in Springfield last week
II Is thought that a recluse who lived in
Belchertown many years ago either lost
or buried the money.

More Manufacturing Exports.

statistics of the commerce and labor de-
partment of the fiscal year shows a great
increase in the exports of manufactures
and an increase in the importation OF
materials of manufacture. The value
OF the exports amounted to $76S 900, 900,
against $671, 100000 4 year ago, and $685.
OO0,OJ0 ten years ago. The imports reach
ed the value of $3.50 900, 900 as compared
with 1878 100000 a year ago and with $410,-
100000 ten years ago. The falling of in
the export of foods is attributed in part
to the increased consumption at home,
the total food exports being to the value
of 1868 600, OOO against $43S, 900, 900 in 1909,
and S545 900, 900 in 1900.

The Rosary.

The hours I spent with thee, dear heart
Are as a string of pearls to me:
l count them every one apart
My Rosary, my Rosary.
Each hour a pearl, each pearl a prayer,
To stlll a heart in absence wrung:
l tell a bead unto the end,
And there a cross is hung.
o memories that bless and burn!
o barren gain. and bitter loss!
l kiss each bead, and strive at last to
learn
To kiss the cross; Sweetheart! to kiss
the cross.-GRobert Cameron Rogers

finding another fire in progress In the
Brown building on Canal street, which
was afire only three or four weeks ago.
This time the fire was in the store of "A
Syrian named \. X. Maloof, dealer in
dry goods and notions The origin Of
the fire is mysterious it evidently having
started among some cotton underwear on
the lowest shelf on the south side of the
store It communicated to the shelves
and goods above IT, but owing to the steel
ceiling and sides OF the room it was
quickly eXtiugushed by the chemical
engine
Mr. Maloof was in Springfield at the
time. the store having been closed at
9 o'clock by his clerk. Miss Kelley. 1t
is not known that any one was in the
store after that until the arrival of the
firemen. Mr.. Maloof has been for 10
or IL years a pack peddler and a few
months ago he established this store as

five others OF his countrymen to whom
he furnished the stock for their packs
The stock in the store was not large, and
the damage to the goods was not serious.
