these births, dozen babies were ush-

in babies. but 1t hasn't had time yet
to figure It out.

The poinsettia. which is coming to be
a very popular early winter house
plant has several very interesting
characteristics. One Of these is that
it sheds its green leaves some time
before 1t does the red bracts encircling
the blossom cluster. Another is that
each blossom is equipped with a little
cuplike projection containing about
drop Of clear sirupy liquid, which is
evidently intended as a bait TO draw
bees and other insects to aid in a
more complete pollenization Of the
flower. II is well worth securing one
Of the plants. not only because Of its

noted. The plant is subtropical and

that weeds require poor land to do

was that weeds would flourish where
some grasses and cultivated plants
would not; yet, other conditions being

rank weeds will grow, as they take
from the soil I'm the main the same

AMERICAN OFFICERS ARE
BADLY MOUNTED.
Improve Breeding of Better
Horses.

That officers of the United States
encourage the breeding of horses for
army purposes was shown last Tuesday
at meeting of the Board of Directors
of the United Hunts Racing Association,
held in the Windsor Arcade, New York
City, when Perry Belmont, President
of the association, informed the men,
bers that he had received letters from
army officers stating that they would
participate in the military steeplechase,
the feature race of the Spring meeting
to be held at Belmont Terminal, June
to 10.
For long time the association has
been endeavoring to establish military
races in this country. 1t is conceded
that American cavalrymen are not well
mounted.
When in Paris several years ago, Mr..
Belmont, through the Military Attache
of the American Embassy, succeeded
in obtaining a translation of the rules
which govern the races in which officers
of the French Army compete. These
rules Mr.. Belmont transmitted to Gen.
Franklin Bell, Chief of Staff of the Army,
to be used as basis for establishing
the regulations under which United
States officers might take part in mill
tary races, held under the auspices of
any racing association that might meet
with the approval of the War Depart
ment.
The fact that regular army officers
are badly mounted was perhaps best
demonstrated at the recent horse show
held in Madison Square Garden, New
York City, when American horses in
competition with horses ridden by for
eign officers did not carry off ribbon in
the military events.
Gen. Franklin Bell, Gen. f. d. Grant,
Gen. Wood, Quartermaster Gen. James
B. Aleshire, Col. George M. Dunn,
Lieut. Rockwell, Charles ID. Treat and
others have been active in their efforts
to encourage officers of the regular
army to enter their mounts in the mill
tary steeplechase. They have sue
ceeded in not only interesting persons
high in the Government in the move
ment, but even privates in the regular
army.
On January 10, when the Army APP
preparation bill was before the House,
various members of Congress took a

Annual Town MEETING.

Every voter in the town of Middle
bury should remember the annua
town meeting to be held in the town
hall next Tuesday, the 18th inst, at 10
a. m. A number of important ques
tons will come up for consideration and
every tax payer should be present, and
discharge his duties as a citizen. We
give in another column the articles con-
tanned in the warning.
Please remember that next Tuesday
is the only opportunity you will have to
express your wish concerning the open
saloon in Middlebury. If the voters all
turn out, we feel certain there will be
good majority for no license. Ar
ticle five is very important article and
deserves careful consideration. This
would seem to be very opportune time
to do what many other towns in the
State are doing, establish free public
library. Article seven affords an oppor-
tunity to vote large sum for automo-
bile roads and thus largely increase our
taxes. Remember, in this connection,
that our representatives, the selectmen,
have no controlling voice in the expend-
iture of this money, or the selection of
the road on which it is to be expended.
Last fall the worst bit of road between
here and East Middlebury was the new
State road built at "Blind Baker" hill.
A good Telford-gravel road was taken
out and dirt road put in its place.
Come to the town meeting and give
these important questions a full dis
cussion.

Great Expense of Automobiles to
Tax Payers.

We called the attention of our readers
last week, by an article taken from the
New York Times, which gives the
figures, of the tremendous cost to tax
payers all over the country, to build
roads for automobiles.
1t will cost over $34, 900 for every
automobile to build their roads, and that
this expense will have to be repeated
every three years, as these expensive
roads will not last longer, if automo-
biles are permitted, as now, to go at
practically any speed they wish.
This tax WILL of course, be one of the
principal ones, that taxpayers - all
taxpayers will have to meet. Here in
Vermont this year an extra tax OF
$3.50, 600 year was voted for this pur-
pose; and this for two years, making
$500, 600, with inducements for towns to
contribute more, which it is to be hoped
they will all of them refuse to do.
This big tax of 100000 could never
have been voted, but for an alliance
made between the different parties that
wanted appropriations, including those
interested in a new and dominant Nor
NAL School, which the Governor was es-
pecially interested in, but which was
knocked out.
1t is to be remembered, too, that the
annual taxes for building and repairing
the roads throughout the State, which
have been increased very decidedly by a
general increase of the grand list, will
approach quite near to a million of
dollars.
In order that taxpayers can study
these facts more carefully, we print
again this week on page two the article
referred to from the New York Times;
connecting with it Mr.. Lincoln's very
celebrated remark, and which is being
most remarkably illustrated in this
matter, that ''you can fool all the
people some of the time, and some of
them all the time, but you can't foo
all of them all of the time"

Governor ExpI a n alton.

Governor Dix's explanation of his
action is set forth in the follow
ing statement from the Executive
Chamber.
The Governor has carefully considered
the plans, specifications and contracts
for improved highways now proposed
by the commission. He regards them as
in many respects indefinite, uncertain
and as causing unnecessary expense.
He sees no reason for the Importation
of considerable quantities of stone from
without the State for the construction
of our roads at a heavy charge for
freight.
1t is evident that the engineering ex-
penses on the roadwork in the State
have been very high and can be
materially lowered without detriment
to the work.
The result of all these features is
that the cost of construction per mile
has become so high that the people will
not receive the number of miles of i'm
proved roads which the enormous ex-
penditure of $50, 600, 900 would justify.
With reference, however, to the
letting of contracts for this years work
the Governor is advised by his counsel
that changes in the plans and specifica-
lions in respect to county roads neces-
state reapproval by the boards of
supervisors in the several counties, and
in case of State roads, to be entirely
safe, reapproval by county superinten-
dents. The delay necessary to secure
such approval and to amend existing
plans would, in all probability, greatly
retard, if not prevent, construction
during the coming season, a result
which should be avoided if possible.
The present situation can, therefore,
only be treated as an emergency, and
the Governor deems it eXpedient under
the circumstances to favor the letting
of contracts on the plans and specifica-
lions already advertised. He has ac-
cordingly written to the commissioners,
requesting them to proceed with the
securing of bids and the letting of con-
tracts as proposed. He trusts that he
can secure lowering of engineering
costs and less expensive specifications
on future work New York Tribune.

Physicist of Bonn University
Says There Need Be no Alarm
over Coal Gixina Out

Zone finds that matter behaves entire
ly differently under such circumstances
from what has been supposed hitherto.
One of the most peculiar results has
been that what physicists call the
mass of the projected article becomes
increasingly large as we increase the
velocity with which we project it. In
Germany everybody takes the keenest
interest in the problem of finding out
experimentally in what law the mass
of body depends upon its velocity.
The basis of all this investigation is
radium.
'There is no doubt that the world has
learned more about physics and
chemistry in the nine years since radum
was discovered than it had learned in
the thousand years before. For one
thing it learned that most of what it
had learned hitherto had been based
upon misconception and radium has
helped scientists to get nearer the
truth.
81 believe the time will come when
radium will be supplying the energy
and heat that are now being obtained
from ordinary fuel and more, and there
are many scientists who are working to
help bring that about. Huntington

CARRERE HAS CHANGE FOR
LIFE.
Architect Unconscious Many
Hours After Auto Accident.

John M. Carrere, the architect, who
was thrown from taxicab and severity
injured last Sunday night in a collision
with trolley car at Madison avenue
and Seventyfourth street, recovered
consciousness in the Presbyterian Hos
pital at 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
but only for a short time. Long be-
fore that the surgeons examinations had
shown his skull is not fractured. He is
suffering from a severe scalp wound,
conclusion of the brain and shock.
At midnight it was said in the hos
pital that Carrere had not completely
regained consciousness, but that he was
improving steadily, and it was hoped
that he would open his eyes soon, and
probably converse. No operation has
been attempted, and it is not certain
that any will be performed.

Seventy-fourth street Carrere dined
