CURTISS TO 60 TO ENGLAND
 DURING JUNE But He is Pledged to Take Part in Bridgeport Meet in
 May.

But for the stand taken by a num- Der Of business men who had been ask ed to lend their cooperation to the bis aviation meet which will be held at Nutmeg park, May IS, 19, and 20, It is probable Bridgeport might have missed seeing Glenn H. Curtiss who as everyone knows is the most promi- nent and successful aviator in the United States.
 Mir. Curtiss' manager Thomas T. Futile, of New York, who has been in this city several days consulting with Christopher J. Lake, owner of the aviation grounds sought to enlist the cooperation of such bodies as the Board of Trade, Manufacturers Asso- ciation. Business Mems Association, Aero Club of Connecticut and Automo- bile club and several conferences were held early in the week in which the de- tails were gone over.
 They said that if the various civic organizations and clubs were to CO., operate in making the meet a success they must have Curtiss here at least to open the meet and to make some flights even though he couldn't stay the whole three days. Manager Futile had simply talked that Curtiss might come here if his engagements would permit, but he could promise nothing definitely. When it became so unmis- takable that Bridgeport would not give the full measure of it's enthusi- asm and patronage unless Curtiss would positively come here MT. Tut

the temperature lowered sufficiently these elements gradually combined; i; then when the temperature became still lower, water fell rippling in hot torrents over the terrestrial crust, dis solving everything that it could dis solve and accommodating in the depres- sions to form the first oceans This is why the water of the ocean is salt and why it derives its saltness not only from common salt, but from many other substances.
 Common salt gives the sea three fourths of it's salintty The other ma rine substances are chloride of mag nesium, biSulphate of magnesia. su- phate of lime, chlorate of potassium bromide of magnesia, metaphosphate of lime, bicarbonate of li1ne-in short nearly everything used in modern pharmacy. not counting the salts of the rare metals; rubidum, caesiura silver and gold. The total salfnity Of the sea is 34 grams to little over a quart. Tn other words, if a little over a quart of water drawn directly from the ocean is evaporated, there will be residue of 34 grams of d mixture of all the different salts of the sea combined and three-fourths of that mixture will be common salt The enormous mass of salts held in solution in the sea, would cover 3s1 million square kilometers to a depth

M'NEIL PADDOCK AND MELTZER ASK
 LIBERAL SUNDAY
Lead in Fight Before Committee ,t Hartford, For Sabbath Day
 For Working People

Shall Connecticut's Sunday law be .i6ened sufficiently to permit of the araving of sports on the Sabbath, and The selling of certain commodities in the stores?
 That was the question which was ar gued before the Judiciary committee at Hartford yesterday. The answer was a most emphatic ''No" so far as the church officials of the State. both Catholic and Protestant, were con- cerned The answer was a yes, or varying degree from the others who appeared to speak upon the measure: Some want a slight modification of the present law; others want a great IT change to bring our Sunday laws into a condition whereby the people who work all the week in factories and shops may be at entire liberty on the sabbath to indulge in refreshing and harmless outdoor sports and pastimes, and to participate in harmless amuse- a1ents in other ways.
 Chief among the advocates for this latter sort of a measure were Sena- tor Archibald McNeil. Jr., Senator Garry Paddock and Representative Joshua Me!tzer of this city all of rhon1 fought for liberal Sunday law nn the ground that the working peo- rle of this state are entitled to it and should have it.
 Representative Meltzer spoke in fa- vor of Sunday bill drafted by him. selr. which strikes the word sports from the Sunday statute; thus allow Ing sports and pastimes to be played upon the Sabbath without the fear of police interference. provided of course that such sports shall be conducted in an orderly manner and shall interfere with no ones peace and Sabbath quiet
 Senators McNeil and Paddock and Re eoresentative Meltzer all spoke against the Sunday bill introduced by Mayor Fisher Of Middletown, when il was found that his measure will not permit of professional baseball or Sunday. None of them believe that tC witness a professional game of base ball on Sunday is a violation of the fay: on the contrary. it provides a ha -rnless amusement for thousands ot people.
 Senator Paddock declared that cities and towns should have the local op- ton upon the Sunday observance nnea- sure so that each place might make its own choice. He emphasized the natter of Sunday baseball. and from Eridgeport's experience showed that there Is a great demand here for the games, and that they attract the best class of people.
 senator McNeil said in favoring this bill "A more liberal Sunday law that would be recognized by all fair-mind- ed men in the community is bound tC be enacted in this State, if not at this sessions of the Legislature, at a ses- sion to follow. Old blue laws and

port meet. Curtiss' general reputation his Hudson river flight and his feats at Boston. New York and Los Angeles to say nothing of his government work stamp him as the foremost aviator Of the country.
 The fact that the Bridgeport meet is in May will make it the first in New Eneland for the season and will un. doubtedly bring many automobile par ties from Boston and New York. MT. Lake expects to spend thousands of dollars in creating model aviation grounds at which aero meets will be held from time to time.
 It is expected that the newly form. ed Aero Club of Connecticut will man. age the field arrangements for the May meet which will be under the direction of Glenn H. Curtiss.

 This prodigious wealth of saline elements Is not uniformly divide among the different seas of the globe There are seas that are not SO salt as others. The warm seas, which re- ceive little sweet water from rivers, are more salt than those that receive floods that are free from salt. The Red Sea holds the worlds record for saltness; it contains nearly AZ grams of salt to every quart of water The Black Sea contains but 19 grams of salt per quart, the Baltic Sea five grams per quart.
 The seas contain from 40 to 50 mil- ligrams of gold per ton. This ap- pears very mall amount. but there are a great many tons of water in the oceans, and the total amount of gold held in the water, if reduced to form block and divided equally among the worlds known population would give every individual provis- ipp of an ingot weighing approximate l~ S0,000 pounds.-Harper's Weekly.

puritanical belief as handed down oy our fore-fathers do not meet the mod ern conditions. of the Twentieth cen tury nor do objections to Sunday baseball and a more liberal observance of the seventh day eminate from the great masses of people in this state, and especially the people of our large municipalities. Practically every wes- tern State has enacted progressive leg islation along these lines, and Con- necticut Is one of the last to grant its people more liberal Sunday law.
 "I cannot see the harm in an inno- cent game of baseball on Sunday. espe- cially if the local authorities designate where the game shall be played. do not believe that those desiring to en- joy the sport should by their conduct annoy or disturb that portion of the people in the community who desire to be quiet and remain indoors on
 the seventh day. and I think the law
 should be so instructed so that any
 games of this nature could be played in vacant lots removed from any churches or places of worship as well
 as out of the city limit lines.
 ''In the city of Bridgeport and other cities, those fortunate enough to be- long to social clubs of certain natures
 may enjoy themselves in game oi golf, tennis or other outdoor sport
 while the man not so fortunate is pro- hibited under our present law from en- toying himself in a harmless way.
 T shall not take the time of this Committee with the discussion of al
 that this bill provides for, but I want to say in conclusion that I believe that more liberal law providing fol Sunday baseball, under proper restric- tions, should be enacted by this Leg l islature, and I trust that this com
 mittee will make a favorable report
 on the bill now pending before it.'
 1 Mayor Fisher explained his own bill to the effect that he does not believe professional baseball can be played
 under its provisions, but that is . matter which rests with the courts. % ! A number of church people spoke strongly opposing any change what. ever tending to liberalize in any way l the present Sunday law

The birds roost in the branches of trees during the night and during the daytime fly here and there in quest of food.
