AN ALBATRoss IN FLIGHT.
The Camera Caught Motion the Eye .. Could Not Discern. /.

The Camera Caught Motion the Eye T. Could Not Discern. {.
 An interesting application of photog, raphy to settle disputed point in natural history was made by natu- ralist on a voyage from British CoDum, bia to San Francisco. >t.s ,. A large. albatross had been follow ing the steamer and keeping pace with if for several hours. and the wonder grew among the watchers on board the ship as to how the bird was able keeping its wings extended without Tapping them. As this is a common method of flight with the albatross, the explanation used to be offered that the bird took advantage of slight winds and air currents and was so able to glide upon what might be called at. mOspheric slopes.
 As the albatross sailed alongside the ship, about fifteen feet away, the nat uralist snapped his camera at 1t and obtained photograph that astonished him and his fellow passengers.
 The photograph revealed, what no eye had caught the wings of the alba tross. each some i've feet long. raised high above It's back. in the act of mak- ing downward stroke. The explana. ton naturally suggested was that more or less frequently the bird must have made a stroke of this kind with its wings, although the eye could not detect the motion. and that the camera chancsd Co be snapped at just the right moment.

Superior Court.

The suit of John Anthony of Staf- ford Springs against the Central Yer mont railroad for $500 damages was tried before Judge Ralph Wheeler and jury Wednesday. Anthony claimed that goods to the amount of $371. 89 consigned to him from New York had never been received, due to the fault of the railroad people. The company denied the charge, and sought to prove that they had been delivered to the expressman for transfer from the freight house to Anthony's store. The plaintiff was represented by Attorneys Fisk and O'Oonnell of Stafford Springs, while Attorney Whittlesey of New London was counsel for the defense. After hearing the evidence the jury deliberated about an hour,
 before bringing in its verdict for the defense The jurors were: Ward Talbot of Andover, Fred D. Finley of Bolton, John A. Lewis, of Columbia;
 Frank M Brigham of Ellington, Oar+ roll W. Hutchinson of Hebron, Harry O. Crane of Mansfield. Albert S. Hurl- burt and Fred A. Pease of Somers,
