Drops and Minims.

Drops vary in size according to the
conditions under which they are pro-
duced. Some are large and some are
small, some long and some short The

one ounce measure will probably show
that 400 drops make fluid ounce. The
average drop is 20 per cent larger than
the minim.

MYSTERIOUS MEkRAN.
" psselats Land, Dedicated BY Nature
and Stunned by Man.

~ psselats Land, Dedicated BY Mature
and Stunned by Man.
"a mysterious veil has always hung
over the land Of Mekran," says the
London Times. .'Mekran Is the name
given to the long coastal region
stretching almost from the Indus to
the entrance to the Persian gulf. Sail
ors have coasted along its white shores
from time immemorial. but few In
modern days have ever penetrated the
ranges Of hills which lie beyond. The
greater part Of Meklan is desolate and
forsaken. land desiccated by nature
and Stunned by man. The few tribes
which linger there are the jetsam of
history. stray wreckage which has
drifted into this obscure corner of the
world in the backwash Of great events.
Il IS even believed that the Dravidians
passed through Mekran on their way
to southern India and left stragglers.
whose descendants have dwelt there
ever since. There are patches of Mon
gols from the days Of Jenghiz Khan;
colonies Of half breed Arabs from the
time when an Arab dynasty held Sind;
unmistakable Rajputs, who were there
before Alexander; African negroes, the
ofrshoots Of medieval slavery. and
traces Of still older peoples whose
origins are lost In the mists Of time.
"Yet Mekran cannot always have
been either 80 dry or 20 deserted.
Many Of its hills are closely covered
with little stone houses, mostly square
at the base, narrowing upward like
truncated pyramids, and with dome
shaped interiors. They are tombs. and
among the rubbish found within them
are fragments Of light green pottery
Of fine quality. which no one seems
able to identify. Then there are vast
masonry dams, obviously built to catch
the water in the hills, just as engi-
neers are making dams in the Indian
ghauts to-day.
Sometimes the hills are terraced
for cultivation. after the fashion Of
hills in southern Japan and elsewhere.
only in Mekran the terraces are dry
and bare. and not even blade OF
grass remains. The crumbling ruins
of whole cities, the very names OF
which are forgotten, lie concealed be-
tween the serrated ridges"

The Last Luxury.

Ten-year-old Arthur had been telling
impressively Of the number of servants

"And our house Is fixed so that if you
want drink or window raised or to
go upstairs or anything all you have
to do Is to pull a chain"
"But what do you want with so
many servants in that sort Of a
house," asked one of his hearers.
"Oh,' replied Arthur. Eve have the

Arrangements are completed for the transfer this lMonday) morning of the Windham County Observer, one of the two weekly newspapers published in this city. to two New York newspaper men, who will assume charge at once., The papers have been signed by alB parties interested in the sale of the paper and the job printing department that goes with it, and there remains only the formality of exchanging thel documents. The new owners are to be George l.. Padgett Elmhurst, a suburb of Brooklyn. N. T., and Henry c. Mein- experienced in the newspaper business and MT. Meinken has had reportoriat experience.
 Horace F. Wilder, who has owned and published the paper since June, 1909 said Saturday that he had no definite plans for the future. With Mrs. Wilder he is going to Detroit for vacation trip of a few weeks, but beyond that nothing is decided. MT. Wilder is man that during his short residence in Putnam earned the re- spect and friendship of it's citizens in a degree that attests his high eharac- ter, and this is also true of Mrs. Wild CT, who has been identified with the publication of the Observer. At pres ent MT. Wilder is master of Putnam grange and a prominent member (no- ble Srand) of Israel Putnam lodge of l Odd Fellows, as well as being actively
 
 organizations. He expressed himself Saturday as being exceptionally we'll pleased with the people of this city 1 and will regret leaving. Before coming | here MT. Wilder was for 20 years en- I gagged in the publication of d daily newspaper in Marlboro, Mass.

DAhIELSOM
Specimen Ballots for Object Lessons First Regiment Wins in Rifle
 Match-Bishop Milan Confirms Classes at DayviIle and BaIlouviIIe.

Specimen ballots, duplicates of the
 official ones that will be used in the
 town election next Monday, were to
 be had from the registrars and other
 town officials of Killingly on Satur- day. Every elector who expects to
 vote may find it to his advantage to
 secure one and find out just what he
 must do to use it properly. The bal
 lot law has been amanded and some
 important changes in methods of marking have been made.
 For instance, hereafter there will be no cross placed in the circle at the head of the party column unless the elector wants to vote an absolutely straight ticket. On the other hand if he wants to vote a split ticket he positively must not put a cross in any
 of the circles at the top of the col umnS, but put a cross opposite the name of each individual candidate for whom he desires to vote, whether the individuals name appears in one col umn or another; allowing that Q man only votes for one candidate in the democratic column he must put a cross opposite the name of every re- publican candidate that he wants elected
 The eIector also has the privilege of writing in the Blank Column" desig- mated for the office, the name of any person, not printed in the ballot for whom he wishes to vote for such of lice. If man wishes to vote split ticket for Sefectmen, he may designate his choice for first selectman by plac- ing the figure "1 in the voting space at the left of such candidates name and place q cross-m mark X in the voting space at the left of the names of the candidates for selectmen for whom he would vote, an elector of Killingly being allowed to vote for three candidates for selectmen. Any other mark than the cross-mark ''X used for the purpose of voting tor the | figure "1' used for the purpose of des- l ignating choice for first selectman) will render a ballot void.
 With such q lovely mix-up as is now on in Kilhngly as regards selecting members of the board of selectmen and l the possibilities for making errors in splitting tickets, it is incum bent upon every voter who expects to vote other than straight ticket to familiariZe l himself with the changes here indi- cated that he may be insured against l disfranchisiny himself by illegal use of 1 the new ballot
 As was the case last year, when the modified form of Australian ballot was | first used in Killingly, there will be a l separate box and 8, separate ballot for | the vote on the license question:; also l for the vote on the constitutional amendments providing for limited session of the general assembly and empowering the lieutenant governor to act as governor in case of the disabil- l ity of the chief executive. Both of l these amendments will have general suDDOrt in KiIliugIV

HAMPTON DESERTER
Arrested Saturday Evening by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Fitts-Found He had Been Dishonorabty Discharged

Deputy Sheriff John H. Pitts of Hampton arrested William Archibald, a deserter from the United States ar my since October 2 1910, Saturday morning. Sheriff Fitts has had the papers ever since October F. 1910. Archibald never squa1ed when he was arrested by the deputy sheriff, but somewhat surprised him by saying:
 Sheriff, cross my name off your wait ing list Me and Uncle Sam is square, In one of Archibald's pockets was found dishonorable discharge from the army, duly signed and dated March 3, 1911 Sheriff Fitts released the man and later remarked that Un- cle Sam should be a bit considerate with officers here in the wilds of Wind ham and tip them off when they can eel job like this.
 Archibald lived at one time in Hampton and enlisted April Is. 1908, but deserted from Fort Ogelthogue. Georgia. Since his desertion he had been roaming about the country. All of his relatives have since left the town of Hampton.

NEW FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
Finally lnstalIed-How the Switch
 board Looks and Works.

At last the Willimantic fire depart ment is fully equipped with the stor- age battery fire alarm system-ope that has been the desire of Chief Wade U. Webster since he took office. The Gamewell switchboard of five circuits in all. installed in the Bank street engine house in place of the old sys- tenn in use for many years.
 The switchboard is oak in natural finish, ten feet high and six in width, fitted up with the latest in the line of electric fixtures. It has switches and meters together with all the other nec- essary equipment. In place Of the four circuits that existed under for mer conditions, there are now five, which is in itself great advantage. The ''hill circuit was broken into. These circuits alternate, one set of jars discharging while another set is being recharged. The battery jars are charged every forty -eisht hours.
 There are meters for the reading of amperage and voltage on each cir cult, then there is one switch that controls all five circuits and switches for each individual circuit. There is also a ground test for negative and positive sides of the five circuits. An automatic stop cuts off the current when required so that there is no leakage back from the batteries. large fuse board nicely equipped with large and small fuses protects the SNltGn board Tn the event OI nSnInlng or too great a quantity of electricity.
 The batteries are Gown stairs in sep arate rooms on specially construct ed rack of iron The rack is seven and a half feet in length. and seven and a half feet high, and contains four shelves with glass rails upon which the glass jars with porcelain holders rest There are eighty jars in the rack.
 The system means a great big sav- ing for the city in the cost of main- tenance over the former system. It will also give much more satisfactory results. Great credit is due Chief Webster for his untiring efforts in effecting the change that he has long advocated. Under the old system he had much to contend with and was up against continual trouble hunting. especially during thunder storm, and had to work many extra hours trac ing out the trouble. The new system was finally voted by the common coun- cil and Chief Webster has given his spare moments to the installing of the new system and is thoroughly familiar with it's every detail in it's minutest particular. He knows the workings of the system thoroughly and his knowl- edge will be of great benefit to the city.
