SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION
NOT DESIRED.

BY common sonsent, it is generally
understood that special session of the
Vermont legislature shall not be called
except in cases of great crises or ex-
IRENE urgency. 1t has been thirteen
years since special session OF the leg
islature has been convened through or
der of the governor; that was at the
outset of the war with Spain in 1898,
when the call for the states militia
such an unusual procedure. Now it is
understood that the executive is sound
ing the sentiment of the Senate mem
bers to see ii it is desirable to call a
special session of the legislature for the
express purpose of considering the Brat
tleboro railroad war" question which
was debated at great length at the re-
cent regular session. As the matter. was
left, the decision was against the New
Haven railroad system, which was seek
ing certain entrance to Brattleboro.
Moreover, the result was decidedly dis
tasteful to perhaps a majority Of the
people of Brattleboro, who We're seek
ing to have line of the big system
pass through their village corporation,
they having the expectation that such
through-line would prove OF greater
benefit than would a branch Of the same
system,
However much one might agree with
Brattleboro people as to the desirable
ity Of having the New Haven system
run its line directly through the village
of Brattleboro, there is a decided doubt
as to the wisdom Of calling together
three hundred men from all parts Of the
state to legislate on that particular
point, even should the second decision
BE- favorable TO BrattIeboro's majority
sntiment, which is questionable in IT,
self The, state does not confront a
crisis in this largely local railroad ques-
ton; nor does il appear that the state
would be a material gamer even though
affirmative action should be taken. A
special session Of the legislature would
entail great expenditure Of money. an
'mwaranted expenditure, il seems, for

CYCLONE FORMATION.
The Mechanical Laws Are the Same
as In O Whirlpool.

as In Whirlpool.
Any one can make the exact counter
part of cyclone II he so desires. OF
course a cyclone is caused by the air
over big area getting warm and
light with small pressure. This air
consequently tries to rise almost in a
body and leaves partial vacuum be-
hind, but the outside cold air rushes
In from all sides. Now, II Is a scien-
tifc and mechanical truth that when a
fluid runs in from all sides toward a
central point 1t causes a whirlpool or
rotation Of the fluid. The exact anal
ogy Of cyclone, then. although with
the fluid water instead of air, is seen
when the stopper is pulled out of the
bottom of basin full of water. An
almost perfect vacuum, as far as the
water is concerned, is caused by the
water Immediately over the stopper
running out The rest of the water
rushes In from all directions. and a
whirlpool is the result There is one
difference here from the air cyclone.
In the afr the force with which IL
rushes toward the center greatly COM
presses the air whirling at that point
and makes It very dense-so dense, In
fact, that straw carried in the CEN
trial whirI can be driven into big
block OF wood without bending. or
course in a whirlpool the water Is not
compressed. remaining practically the
same in density all the time That
is one highly important property OF
water; It is practically incompressible.
Nevertheless II is very interesting to
see the whirl form In a basin and
know that the mechanical laws are
the same as In the formation Of cy.

the size of the question at issue. More
over, the state committed itself to a
policy only after long discussion; and 1t
is more than probable that the legisla-
ture would stand by that policy If the
ease should be reopened, Therefore,
while sympathizing with Brattleboro
people in their efforts to expand their
community. The Times trusts that the
governor will not call special session
of the legislature.

post Office makes the statement that all
the granite used in the Quincy, Mass,
post Office was brought from New Hamp-

confined to the water table, steps, but

RESIGNS AFTER LONG SERVICE

The resignation of Mrs. Anna NJ.

mond's postmastership Mrs. Hammond
held the position of second assistant.
She has served as general delivery
and forwarding clerk, registry clerk,
and was for eight years money order
clerk until January, 1910, she was as

partment. Upon the retirement Of
Mr. Hany West from the service nine
ynars ago Mrs. Hammond was named
