Extensive Collection of ]. C.
Nicholson Goes to the State
Library at Hartford

HARTFORD. Conn, Sept. 2.-One of
the most extensive collections OF rare
coins in the United States is to become
permanent exhibition at the Connecti-
cut state library here, as the result of a
bequest from Joseph G. Nicholson. the
president of the Connecticut Tobacco as
ISOLATION, who died on Tuesday at his
home in Tariffville. Although Mitchell
son was well known III business circles
as the first man in the country to take
up scientific tobacco growing on a large
scale, he will be more widely remem-
bered as a collector of coins and per-
haps the foremost authority in America
in this line. His collection of United
States coins and presidential medals is
the most complete in the world.
Mr.. Nicholson was Sc years old and
apparently in robust health when stricE
en- with heart disease. His father was
pioneer in the Connecticut tobacco in

methods of growing under cheese cloth

ropean countries, and yet 1t is merely a
question OF transportation" II it cannoa
be accomplished by land carriage, he
declared, the nation will have to have
recourse to waterways. The desired
end, be said. might be attained through
the use or "tapering rates"-that is, by
rates which increase not with the dis
lance, but on some basis which gives the
remote points a less tariff than the near
by points. AS an instance OF the benefit
of tapering rates he referred to the rates
on citrus fruits from Pacific coast points
east. The rate on oranges and lemons
to all point east of Denver, or from
Cheyenne, Wyoming, to PASSPORT. Maine.
Is the same.
"The state of Iowa is Chicago's back
field, and Iowa's population is shrink
ing. This fact alone is enough to con-
denim the rate system which permits it.
The Texas system is based on the theory
that many medium sized towns and
cities are to be preferred for the agricul-
tural welfare of the state to one or two
overgrown municipalities with rates
made to stimulate their growths at the
maximum freight charge. Thus, while
such places as Galveston, Houston, Dali
las, Fort Worth and Waco are among
expense Of the rest. This has been ac-
complished by the ESTABLISHING of a

The question OF what transportation has
to do with soil fertility and development

Gals, he explained. must be got to the

this in most cases is a railroad prob

LIGHTNING CALCULATORS

The clerical staffs Of many Of the
big insurance companies have OF late
years been considerably reduced by
the employment Of mechanical cal
culatCrs.
One Of these, the invention of a
German, is a compact little affair
resembling music box. 1t may be
made to perform almost instantane-
ously the most poTtentOus sums IN
addition, subtraction, multiplication by
one or two factors, division, squaring
and cubing. 1t is required, for in
stance. to multiply 531,975 by 924. The
first factor is set by touching little
knobs representing 531,975.
To multiply by the other factor you
turn a handle four times. push a long
slide one place AND turn the handle
twice, then push the slide another
place onward and turn the handle nine
times The long multiplication is
now done without the possibility OF
error so far as the machine is con-
cerned and the dial shows 491, 544 900.
In the same mechanical way may be
done all the other arithmetical pro-
ceSSes.

CAPTAIN ROGERS SLIDE

Bald Mountain or Rogers Rock on
the west shore OF Lake George rears
its ponderous bulk OF granite TO an al
most perpendicular height OF HOO
feet, being matched by a similar bulk
and height on the east, half mile
away. Here Captain Rogers and his
small army on snOwshOes were de-
feated by a large army OF French
and Indians. The small remnant were
scattered through the forest at the
top OF the mountain, and q party or
Indians tracked the marks OF the
snowshoes OF the refugees When
Rogers became aware that he was
likely to be driven over the precipice,
he made his way to the brink, threw
his pack and accoutrements down the
slide to the lake. He then turned his
snowshoes around and, after stealing
along the edge OF the hill, made his
way down the lake, picked up his
pack, reversed his snOwshoes and
sped southwark to the Narrows. where
he was met by Captain Stark with re-
Inducements and provisions. The In
dians followed Rogers tracks to the
brink, where. seemingly, were two
tracks to the precipice. They con-
cluded that two white men had slid
down to the ice below While gazing.
they saw a mile away the form OF
Rogers. But considering him under
the special protection Of the Great
Spirit. they made no further pursuit.
