During the windstorm Wednesday
night. a number of poles carrying
high voltage wires of the Weston cir
cult went down and as a result the
current is off until the poles can te
reset. When the new road was CON-
structed last fall excavation on the
hill east of the city was made close
to where the poles set which weakened
their position materially, so when the
high wind came the embankment at
the base of the poles gave way. with
the result that poles and wire fell to
the ground. Traffic between Athena
and Weston went over the lower road

IN THE MOON.

The visible part OF the moon Is about
equal 10 the ssperfcies OF North
America. II Is very mountainous. and
around the vast dry plains which form
the dark spots seen with the naked
eve are volcanoes whose funnel-shap-
ed craters resemble old wells filled In
by the deposits OF the ages. Maps OF
the moon show more than $4,000 such
craters. some of them 200 kilometers
in diameter. Measured by the length
OF their shadows some OF the lunar
mountains are $500 meters high. The
earth's radius is supposed to be near
~ four times that of the moon. Pro-
portionally the moon is much more
mountainous than the earth. All the
lunar volcanoes are extinct. The
moon was formed after the earth was
formed; II has gone to Its doom faster
than the earth because. as It's mass Is
much feebler than the earth's mass.
IL cooled faster. The moons light and
shade are seen clearly because II has
no apbreciable atmosphere. II Is not
inhabited.-Harper's Weekly.

PRUSSlc ACID IN PLANTS,

The remarkable fact that consider.
able quantities Of free prussic acid
are accumulated in the living tissues
OF certain plants was observed by the
late DR.. M. Treub, and there appears
to be little doubt that this poisonous
acid is actually utilized as food mate
rial by these plants. Some interesting
details concerning the occurrence and
function of prussic acid in the cherry
laurel are given by Peche, who con.
cludes from his observations that the
prussic acid found in the leaves and
other organs is produced as direct
result of carbon assimilation in the
green leaf cells when exposed to light.
and that 1t is not merely a product Of
the hydrolysis of glucosides. Peche
found evidence that, while part of the
prussic acid enters into the building
up of glucosides. some of II is trans.
ported In a liable form, probably in
loose combination with a tannin, and
is stored up In various tissues as a
reserve food.-Nature.

not only where people were born and
where they died. but also statistics
which are vital in making up calcula.

were kept In the different towns, but
now they are all concentrated in the
state house in Boston. In relatively
small space all these records are pre-
served, and as birth, marriages and
