Immense Power
 House Under Way
Railroad Company Begins Big
 Job at COSCOb
TWO YEARS TO FINISH IT
16,0O0 Cubic Yards of Rock to Be Taken Out, 25,O00 Cubic Yards of Concrete and Over 100000 Feet of Lumber to Be Used in Construction.

The enlargement of the Coscob pow CT plant of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, has begun
 When completed it means that Bridge
 port will be included in the electric
 zone and may mean more frequent and faster time to New York.
 That the undertaking is a mighty
 big one is apparent in the statement that it will be a matter possibly of two years before the work is complet- ed, and everything is in ship shape. A few items which enter merely into the enlargement of the building give an idea of it's magnitude. The pow er-house stands on a rocky hill. To make the extension it is estimated that 16.OO0 cubic yards of stone must be taken out. Aside from the concrete blocks that will go into the walls of the enlarged house it is estimated be necessary. Over 100000 feet of lum- Der will be required. It will be at least six months before the founda- tions are completed.
 While it is not definitely announced it is understood that all the work will be done by the Ley Company In any event, they will lay the foundations and will make the concrete blocks for the walls. The blocks will be made on the grounds at Coscob The ex- tension will about double the present size of the power house. The west wall is to be torn out and the width of the building increased about 246 feet. Aside from heavy concrete beds to be built for the huge generators and other ma chimes there will be a lot of difficult water work. For instance. intake and outlet fumes are to be built and part of this work will be under the water. That is, it will be necessary to sink cribs thirty and forty feet square. The fumes will be built of lumber and the intake will be plank
 As to the equipment of the addition it is to be what the railroad folk call a four-unit That is, three 400O kilo- watt machines, or generators, are to be put in at once and a place made for a fourth 4,000-k -kilowatt machine The present equipment comprises three 2.000-kilowatt generators and one 1, 4,20O-kilowatt machine
 The additional power thus obtained will be applied immediately on the Harlem River branch and on the so- called Boston and Westchester branch which extends between White Plains and New York. The New Haven Road has been spending millions of dollars on these two branches during the past few years.
 When the time comes for the east ward extension of the electric zone the additional power thus provided for will be applied to main line traffic east of Stamford. There will, how ever, be an additional power house. probably at New Haven, and the out put of the two will be hooked up per haps midway between New Haven and Stamford.
 The work just begun is considered one of the most important of the New Haven Roads recent undertakings.

Unique Cause Of Desertion
 GetS Divorce
Ansonia Druggist Claims Wife Left Him in Dispute
 Over Sons Career

An unusual reason for desertion al legged in an action for divorce was brought to light in the hearing of the x-parte divorce list in the New Ha- ven Superior court yesterday after noon, when Edward T. Vance, an An sonia druggist, claimed that his wife left him in 1904 because he wished to have his son enter the drug business and she did not. Vance keeps a drug store at GS Main street, Ansonia. In telling his story he claimed that in 1904 wher his son graduated from Yale he was sent out west without the fa- ther's knowledge and that the wife at the same time. Vance claims he educated his son with the intention of having him go into the business. He claimed later that his wife had a fear that the boy might get the morphine habit in the drug business. as there had been one vic tim in the family. The divorce was granted

c. A. R. VETERANS.
Annual Visit to Soldiers Home NO- rotor of Women's Relief Corps
 of Connecticut

The Women's Relief Corps of the Elias Howe Post, No. 53 was among some other corps represented at No- rotor Thursday, the annual state W. R. c. visiting day. An inspection of the departments and visits with the different individual veterans was the feature of the occasion.
 Incidentally, it was learned that the Woman's corps in New Haven, Meri- den and Hartford, last year decorated the graves of the widows of the vet erans and the custom will be gener- ally adopted this year.
 There were speeches and recitations among the latter being the lines be- low printed by request, which were written and read by Calvin A. Smith, formerly of this city. He is now very feeble and was with difficulty placed upon the platform to read. The lines are a protest against separating the husband from his wife when he can no longer care for them both. They follow:
 THE SOLDIERS WIFE. I've been asked to write a tribute
 To the state where I was born, Many, many years ago.
 On one bright April morn; Let another have the honor,
 will let it pass me by; If you give me your attention,
 
 Fifty years have passed away
 Since eighteen Sixty-One, When we rallied around the good flag With music, sword and gun; Left our homes and loved ones,
 And proudly marched away, And of that great, grand army,
 But few are left today. Four years we fought the enemy,
 On many a battlefield, And by the power of our arms,
 They were compelled to yield; Then we returned unto our homes, In peaceful fields to toll, And left five hundred thousand dead Beneath a southern soil. Now what few of us remain
 Are nearing fast the grave, And soon will lie beneath the flag,
 We fought and bled to save; Poor in purse, and poor in health,
 Our lifes work nearly done. Yet our hearts are just as loyal
 As they were in SiXty-One. Iris true they offer me a home,
 When I can work no more, Where I can live until I die,
 AS my comrades have before; But what about the faithful wife,
 Who has watched beside my bed, Through many long and weary nights. When the fever burned my head. They have no home for her,
 She must face the world alone, The soldier and his wife must part,
 When he goes to the Home: If she is old and feeble,
 And cannot earn her bread May the Lord protect and comfort
 The gray hairs upon her head. Now as 1 draw the curtain
 On this drama strange, but true, I will tell you, my good people,
 What I will never do; For that which parts man and wife, When they are old and gray, I will never, never write a tribute, For honor or for pay.

n Sridae of Ants,

A species of ants which spin silk is
common in hot countries. The ants
nest in trees. binding the leaves to.
gether to make their nests. The silk
used for this purpose is not secreted
by the adult ants, but by the larvae.
In order TO attach the silken threads
and draw the leaves together the ants
must carry the larvae about from leaf
to leaf. When two distant leaves are
to be drawn together a remarkable
method is employed. Five or six ants
form chain bridging the gap between
the leaves. each gripping the waist of
another I'm its mandlbes. A number of
such chains will cooperate in bringing
two leaves together.
