 Mir. MeIIen Admits Existence of
 Abuses.
 In his next letter to you, MT. Mel. len referred explicitly to my reply and said T do not intend to seriously criticise his MT. Jones) general state ment of evils sought to be remedied by proposed legislation, but suggest ed as the remedy for these admitted abuses the establishment of a Court of Commerce" which he has now de- fined as a branch of our superior court. As MT. Mellen agrees with me that these specified abuses exist and should be remedied. it would give me great pleasure to agree with him upon the form of remedy. But unfortu- natelN I am unable to do so.
 Court of Commerce. Could Not Rem
 edy Abuses.
 Our supreme court has repeatedly decided that under our constitution the general assembly could not give the superior c> urt-or any other court power to determine the method by which unsafe conditions should be remedied. The supreme court Of the United States has always held that the power to fix rates could not be ex- ercised by any judicial tribunal-al- though the courts have power to set aside rate fixed by an administra- tive tribunal if it is such al to de- prive the corporation of just income. do not know of any process nv Whlcn a court could ordinarily compel cor poration to furnish better service, or by which it might examine and cor rect meters, or through which 1t could prevent over ca pitalization or by means of which it could provide for greater publicity in corporate affairs for the protection of the public
 Public Service Commission Could
 Remedy Them.
 On the other hand, the general pow CTS which the state business mems as- sociation have suggested should be vested in an administrative tribunal have been granted to similar commits sions in other states; and the laws creating them have been held to be constitutional and have proved effec- tive Why should not the same prove true in Connecticut? Judge Baldwin. governor elect (until recently chief justice of our supreme court of CT rors), states that in his opinion "as lawyer the act prepared by the state business mems association as a whole is constitutional He apparently be- Iieves that the suggested powers are administrative rather than Judicial, as the word judicial is defined by our courts.
 Questions for Mir. MeIIen. I would appreciate it, therefore, if you would ask President Mellen to an swer explicitly these three questions: 1. Which of the above specific and admitted abuses could be remedied by his proposed court of commerce or enlargement of the superior court?
 ,. By what judicial process could the remedy be accomplished-by award of damages. injunction. or mandamus? 3. Would not the fair and conserva tive measure drafted by the state bus mess mems association be effective to remedy these admitted abuses in large measure? Yours respectfully. ANDREW R. JONES, President

tereSt in the business, but failed It was then agreed that the firm would finish up all orders on hand not take any big contracts, but gradually work up the stock on hand and then close the business. This has been done, and the only unfinished contract is on the repairing of the Barber Memorial building, which is practically finished save the Masonic headquarters. This is the building damaged by fire nearly d year ago
 Mr. Cove said Saturday that he did not believe the plant would be idle for more than a week, as there were two parties negotiating for the purchase of the plant one of which was an organ ized company under the laws of the state of New Jersey and the other an established local concern in the same line of business. Intimation was made that there were other prospective pur- chaSerS In addition to this plant the company has a large lumber yard in Mechanic street and gives employment to about seventy-five men in the home plant and a great many more on the construction work iI other places Mr. Cove is now building a. s50,000 resi- dence in Tuxedo, N.

 The business. was established in 1S43 by Charles and Jonathan Maxson, and was one of the largest lumber conpan- les, contractors and carpenters in the state, and it is said to have been the first firm to erect buildings strictly by contract, giving p9rties the exact cost of the house complete before the work was commenced which has since be- come general. The original firm name was c. MaXSon X Co., but in 1881 the name was changed to Maxson & Co. Jonathan NIaNson and J.

Birds That Use Incubatora.

The stormy petrol builds her nest
just above the Atlantic pillows, on
the islets near Iona and the Hebrides
There, beyond the rocks, is a black
buttery soil in which the birds bur
row like little winged mice and on
nests of sea-pink lay one egg.
There is, in the Outer Hebrides, q
very pretty popular belief as to the
way in which the eggs are hatched
The birds, say the people, hatch their
eggs by sitting, not on them, but near
them, at a distance of six inches
There the petrels turn their heads to-
ward the opening Of the burrow and
COO at the eggs day and night, and
so hatch them with a song.
This sounds like a fable made oui
of folklore, but 1t really has a basis
in fact, according to one authority
Although he never, heard the cooine
noise by day, he often did in the eve
ming. 1t Is rather a purring sound
When the nest is opened the bird Is
usually found covering few inches
away from its egg.
Perhaps the truth is that the bur.
rows are so warm that there is nc
need of a higher temperature induced
by animal heat, and the parent bird
can afford to sit down and sing over
the excellence of the arrangement

good return for their investment. Per.
sons with limited means must be sat
isfed to start with few animals less
perfect in type and conformation or
with aged individuals which can be
picked up for comparatively little
money, and then gradually breed up a
stud herd or flock The latter plan,
unless one is a good Judge OF stock
and a practical farmer, is the one I
should advise. Clever and experienced
breeders are apt to make mistakes In
buying, mating and rearing their stock
and a novice is sure to purchase his
experience very dearly II he starts
breeding on too large a scale.
The situation and soil of ones farm
should govern, to great extent. the
variety Of stock which 1t is decided to
keep. Lincoln sheep, for instance,
would not pay to rear on the noun.
tains where the Scotch black-faced
mountain or the Herdwick breeds ex-
list. Or, again, the hardy Southdown
thrives on the short, scanty herbage
that grows on his native hills, where
larger sheep would starve. Many
breeds Of livestock appear to be spe-
cially adapted to the locality in which
they are born, and one always runs a
risk when introducing a fresh variety
OF animals into any county.
Not only does 1t take some time for
a breed new to the district to become
aeclimated, but It is always difficult
to dispose Of ones surplus stock In a
