plain, for every mission station in
tho country at that time Is indicated
on the map, and tho line Of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out. This map was obtained by Mr..
Vautin at PunO, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is the death masks Of
the Incas. They were hammered out
OF metal and placed over the faces
Of the dead. Three Of these obtained
by Mr.. Vautin are of sheet gold.

but it is remarkable with what precision the
machine will right the stalks. Owing to the
great variation in the height Of the corn, even
in the same field, the binding attachments are
given great range of operation and in some
machines they are placed as high as 50
inches. The machines weigh from 1400 to
1900 pounds each and cost, on an average,
$125. The average number of acres cut per
day by such corn binder is upward of eight
and the total cost per acre of harvesting the
corn by this method (allowing for cost of ma
chine, wages of driver. outlay for twine, etc.,
averages about $3.50. Corn shockers cost
about as much as corn binders and weigh ap-
machines for owners of small farms who do
most of their own work. A man with three
horses and corn shocker can cut about five
acres Of corn per day at total expense Of
$1.O6 per acre as against $1.50 per acre with
the machine previously described
The fundamental features of the corn

which cut the corn as the machine advances

corn is collected vertically to form shock.

chinery and on up-todate farms these are in
many instances operated by gasoline engines.

Hiram Davis of Newburg went for
a walk with his father eight years
ago. The father stopped to talk with
friend, and Hiram, then about 10
years old, walked on. He was never
seen after that until he walked into
his parents home recently.
The police all over the east were
on the lookout for him, the Hudson
river was searched and finally he
was given up for dead. When he
greeted his mother it was some hours

SECOND REGIMENT
Meet in Hartford in Connection With
 All Regiments Reunion.

Secretary D. 0. Kilbourn. of the Second Heavy Artillery. Regiment Asso- citation, has written an account of the recent meeting of the regiment, in con- junction with the general reunion of all the Connecticut regiments of the Civil war, in Hartford, which was printed in the Litchfield Inquirer last week, and from which we quote:
 The meeting of this organization, which was adjourned from Savin Rock to Hartford, was held in the room of the Spanish War Veterans in the Arm ory of the First Regiment at Hartford on Wednesday, Oct. 4th, 1911. The day of Oct. 3rd was one of the most ideal October days possible, clear and crisp, and all signs on the morrow be- tokened beautiful weather, but the morning of October 4th opened with a wet, drizzly rain and it was very dis agreeable time for those at a distance to start and the attendance was much smaller than it would have been had it been a fair day, yet over hundred made their appearance. ..@s
 It was the day of the general reunion of all the regiments in the state and but little business was transacted in our own reunion. Your secretary was the president of the Conn. Veteran Association under whose auspices the general reunion was held and in which twenty-three hundred veterans of the Civil war participated, consequently he was somewhat busy and could do very little visiting with his own com- pany. The meeting was called to order by Vice President Bradley in the absence of President Bradstreet, who being the Comptroller of the State of Connecticut, was obliged to spend most of his time at the Capitol which was opened during the whole day for the special benefit of the veterans and their friends.
 The following comrades were elected as officers for the ensuing year Presi- dent David A. Bradley, Thomaston i; vice president, William H. Plumb, Litchfeld; secretary, Dwight 0. Kill bourn, Litchfeld; treasurer, Charles W. Hinsdale, Litchfeld. The Execu- tive Committee will be appointed here after by the officers. The next reunion is to be held at Litchf1eld, Wednesday, 1 September 11th, 1912, at which time it is expected that monument or marker will be dedicated at "Old Camp Dutton," 1t being the fiftieth ami versary of our muster-in to the service of the United States, It was announced by Litchtield comrades that those con- ing from abroad would be transported from Torrington to Litchfield by autos at a somewhat more rapid rate than we
