HORACE JOHNSON is 81.
Has an Idea Of Electric Lighted 1uoys
to Guide Ocean Steamships.

Horace Johnson. the best known of
the Connecticut weather prophets, was
81 years of age on Saturday and was
plea sanity reminded of the anniver-
Sary at his home at Middle Haddam
by calls and gifts from many friends.
His years sit lightly upon him and
while he is not as active as he was
half a century ago he is remarkably
well preserved for man who long
ago passed the age allotted to a man
in the Bible. He is suffering from
no special infirmity and goes about
cept that his interests are not as ex-
tended as they were a few years ago.
He comes of long lived family and
expects to live to be at least hun
dred years old.
Besides his meteorological observa-
tons and weather predictions, Mr..
Johnson has been prominent in the
field of invention and half a dozen
of the more important inventions of
the present age are claimed by him.
In recent yeays he has devoted consid :
cradle time, to a plan to light the
ocean as means Of safeguarding the
high-poWered steamships that rush to
and from on the bosom of the Allan
tic to the imminent danger from col
lision. Mr. Johnson's idea was to have
the steamships run in lanes lighted by
electric lamps arranged on buoys. I'm
de- these conditions Mr.. Johnson felt
that steamships could run at full
speed in all kinds of weather and at
night with as much safety as during
the calm of the day time.

STAND TOGETHER
AND GET sANAToRIuMS
Necessary for New London and Mid
dlesek Counties, Says Commissioners
Gunshanan.

GuuSHduaH
The legislature will pass the bills
for a sanatorium in New London and
Mfddlesex counties if the members
from both counties will stand together -
said Commissioner John F. Gunshanan
in addressing meeting heic in the
town hall in Niddletown Sunday after
noon.
The law provides that when necessi-
ty arises there shall be erected sana-
toriuu in each county. and surely with
an average: death rate of about 200
deaths III New London county annu-
ally. and the three state sanatoriums
crowded. the legislature seems In duty
bound to build these institutions.
Boards Of Health.
The filthy. habit of expectorating in
our streets which is the greatest
menace in the spread OF tuberculosis,
would soon cease If local boards of
health would provide sanitary cuspi-
doris, which are made in the form of
letter boxes and hung on posts through
the principal public thoroughfares of
our cities. but until this is done we
cannot hope for the best results.
Educate School Children.
The children in our schools should be
taught how easily the disease of tuber-
culoSis is contracted from one to the
other, and it is the states duty to CO.
operate with the school authorities to
provide literature and instruction to
prevent its spread among them. The
need of education on public health in
our schools is sadly neglected. To
many it seems that the studies in the
higher grades are such as to tax the
| physical condition of numerous pupils
causing them i'll health. and this Nigh.
also be applied to our responsible and
underpaid teachers.
The Wage Workers.
The wage workers should realize that
this battle against the white plague
/ in their ranks must be stamped out by
their own efforts and they should not
| expect others to do 1t for them The
employees in stores and factories should
now start and organize so that when
| the new sanatoriums are ready they
| will be in a position to pay for the care
and treatment of their sick brothers
and sisters, instead of having many OF
| them paid for by the town, making
paupers of them. This spirit of broth
erly love is operating to excellent adj
vantage in the city of Hartford. where
during tire past six years more thar
! 400 workers have been paid for out OF
funds raised by the wage workers. who
/ have contributed nearly S25, 900 for this
purpose in small amounts collected a,
various intervals AMI now the en-
ployers are voluntarily contribut Ing
one-half the cost of their sick en-
ployes, and fully 100 lives have beer
saved by this magnificent work they
are doing. If some one person will
| interest himself in each city where M
organization is perfected they will find
a ready and willing response from tn.
working people.
The speaker closed by paying trib.
ute to the work done by the visiting
nurses in the homes of the poor, wherl
destitution and pover.y are brough
| about by this terrible scourge.
