LETTER TO THE EDITOR. Taking soundinas Under Difficulty.

Mr. Editor: The description in The Bulletin of February 20, 1911, relative to construction of a proposed new con-. crete dam for the Aspinook company revives . story of disaster to, the en- gineering corps engaged in the con- structi0n of that nrst dam that nearly ended sertously.
 ssvsntesa years aGo. in February, weather extremely cold and bleak. wfch was engaged to take soundings of the bed of the Quinebaug river at the proposed dam site and by using long steel chiBels or drills through 25 feet of water would determine just what the nature of the bed of the river was, whether rock or gravel.
 It was necessary to work from float of some kind: accordingly two monster rowboats were strapped to- eether, platform nailed across the two, and progress was easily made up or down stream with inch line, thrsush A . pulley s on ,sa,, large raa tnreso an either side of the river.
 This scheme proved good one un- til 1t was desired to take soundings quite near the lower side of the pro- posed dam (where there existed a natural falls in the river bed of about ten feet). On allowing the float to
  that the cable was not of sufficient strength to hold the float above the falls and to the horror of many stand ing on the shore the float gave a giant lungs and went completely over. Il looked very serious for all concerned
 George Ross, Charles H. Preston IT,, Arthur E. Baker. four colored men and two Frencbmen were aboard the float, the first lunge of which promptly threw Ross and Preston into the icy waters of the river. Ross was Q powerful swimmer and though the accident occurred eighty feet from shore he was soon high and dry, but Preston, weighted with steel tape line: and plumb bobs fared much hard luck and barely escaped with his life The balance of the party aboard thu float hung desperately to the floa and were taken off safely one by on' with . flying swing.
 George RosD now resides in Welles let, Mass. Preston is . consulting en giheer in Waterbury, and Baker is as sistant city engineer of Bridgeport. |, Many of tho old inhabitants will re call this accident. which occurred il connection with the dam of the larg est textile company in Jewett City.

Cake vs. Powder

For general household cleaning, soap in powder form is more economical and efficient than in the bar. Gold Dust, one of the first soap powders--and still the best--can be used more economically than soap, because the quantity desired can be measured out and no more used. In using soap in the cake there is waste, more being used than is really needed. and the rest of the cake is water-soaked, causing the soap to lose its goodness. gradients which soften the hardese water and allow the soap to do its work to best advantage.

Titled Husbands.

Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks advises American girls to find their husbands in the United States in preference to the royal courts of Europe She urges them to sf1un the man with a title tv trade for a legacy, declaring that such men are inferior to Americans and make poor husbands.
 Of course Mrs. Fairbanks has plen- ty of evidence to support her testimo- ny. But we might even waive the point on which she hangs her case, that of the inferiority of the titled aus- band, and still find ample reason why it is best for American girls reared in American homes and the atmosphere of free institutions to marry men If the same general environment rather than those brought up under tf1e dnfiu- 'ence 0k European seciusion. There Is such great probability that the two extremes may not be susceptible of harmony that 1t does not seem worth while hazarading the venture There Is natural disparity between tho cus- toms of Americans and the habits of royalty that is not easily assimilated even under the benign influence of real love. It is seneeaess not ts admit thia,
