FIREBUG AT SHORE
EVIDENCE OF ATTEMPTS TO FIRE ROW OF COTTAGES AT WOODMONTl CAUSES
 ALARM

Recalling the Woodnlont fire. epi- demic of three years ago, when nearly thirty fires were set by a firebugr that always remained uncaught, despite the fact that private detectives were hired to trail him, evidence was dis covered that three attempts were made some time Saturday night to fire the entire row of-cottages on MerWln s Beach. The somewhat startling ais covery, which was reported at once to Sheriff Maher, of Milford, was made by Dr. E. T. Sharpe of Woodmont, who went to his cottages yesterday morning.
 Dr. Sharpe's cottages are near one end of the row, and if the fire had been well nourisf1ed the entire colony of waterfront villas would have been deStroyed.l as a sharp wind cut across the, Sound into the beach during the time the fires were set
 In one of Dr. Sharpe's. cottages fires were started, in six different places badly burned. The interior of another was badly gutted. For some reason the fire did not spread and died out of it's own accord I1 If tnls t; fact alone ne cattages, which, the authorities be- lieve. would have been completely de- stroyed if Nthe flames had got start
 Sheriff Maher is conducting a rigid investigation and has one man under suspicion, No arrests have been made as vet but one is expected in the near future. The motive for. the crime could not be figured out.
 This is more. than the work. of crank or thief, said Dr.. Sharpe last night. .sIf we are to have a repetition of fhe fire epidemic Of three years ago, az actBn should be taken immed- lately. Erhe attempts to fire the TOW of cottages were clear-cut, and it is that the entire colony was not com pletely destroyed

HALLS APPEAL

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS CON- TENTION THAT PERSONAL TAX PROSECUTION SHOULDN'T BE CRIMINAL.

The Supreme Court of the State in a decision handed down in the per- sonaI tax fight of Clifton c. Hall of Wal1ingford supports the action of Judge Wolfe of the New Haven Court of Common Pleas. The decision is likely to have far-reaching conse- quences. Hall was arrested ~iIE Wal lingford for his personal tax and was brought before the borough court of Wallingford and fined the amount Of the tax and costs. He then took. siIa appeal to the Court of Common Pleas.
 His attorney, Howard c. Webb. rais- ed the question as to whether the pro cess for collecting the personal tax should be civil or criminal. He con tended that it could not be 6 criminal proceeding under the statutes.
 The appeal was to the Court of Com mon Pleas, sitting as Q court of cr1m- inaI jurisprudence. Attorney Webb contended that the court had no juris- diction in the case as a criminal trl- bunal and Judge Wolfe upheld this contention, which the Supreme Court now upholdS. -.

CARDINAL GIBBONS URGES ALL TO VOTE
WHILE INDICATING NO CHOICE. HE BREACHES ON IMPORT ANCE TO REPUBLIC OF
 THE BALLOT.

Baltimore, Nov. +Cardinal Gibbons
 in the Cathedral heHe yesterday, de. livered an election eve sermon design l ed to awaken s-the supine citizen who ] never takes an interest in the political welfare of his country" He declared l that if the future historian should be called upon to record the decline and fall of the American Republic he would aScribe as the cause .tthe i'm difference, lethargy and political apos- tasy of her. own Sons.''
 The sermon was non-partisan as to the personal preferences of the Cardi- nal toward the three leading nominees for President. He asserted his intol- cranes toward pessinlistic prophets. who in each campaign predict the end of the government unless their favor ite should be elected. By g. discussion of the country's form of government Cardinal Gibbons sought to show that the results of the election could not seriously affect the endurance of -the Republic In part sshe said:s
 'It Is true, indeed. that we have no official union of Church and State in this country But we are not to infer from this fact that there is any an tagonism between the civil and religi- ous authorities, nor does it imply any indifference to religious principles. Far from it. Church and State move in parallel lines. The State throws over the Church the mantle of it's protec- ton, without interfering with the God given rights of conscience; and the Church on her part renders valuable aid to the State in upho1ding the civ
 il laws by religious and moral sane lions. -g7
 .,No man should be a drone in the social beehive. No man should be an indifferent spectator Of the political and economical questions which con front him. Indifference and apathy in civic and political life are as hurtful to the State as indifference in religion is .hurtfu1 to the Christian comm on wealth.
 And if all citizens are bound to take an interest in public affairs that duty especially devolves on those who are endowed with superior intelligence a nd education and who ought to be the leaders and exempIars of the people guiding them in the path of political rectitude.
 There are three conspicuous citizens who are now candidates for the PreSi- dency Whatever may be my private and personal preference and pred14ec- tion it is not for me in this sacred pull pit. or anywhere else publicly to dic-i tate or even suggest to you the can didate of my choice.
 May God so enlighten the mind and quicken the conscience of the American people to saN sense of their civic duties as to arouse in them an earnest and practical interest in the coming cleo ton, and may He so guide their hearts that they will select a chief magi6- trate whose administration will re- douud to the material prosperity and moral welfare of our beloved Repub- lic.''

The Number Depends Upon What Kind
Of Year 10 Considered.

The Number Depends Upon What Kind
Of Year 10 Considered.
Reduced to simple numbers, we
say that all years contain 365 days.
And unless one is a time specialist
one would say that all years begin
the first day Of January. 1t dependa
on what kind of year is considered.
The lunar year, for example, has
354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes and
36 seconds. In this year the moon
makes a journey around the earth
twelve times. As you will see, the
lunar year is eleven days shorter
than the solar year. The Jews make
their calculations on this year. 1t is
their period Of time. They under
take to correct this defect by add
ing a thirteenth month of thirty
days every third year, but this does
not bring their year up to the solar
by three days. Those, who compute
by solar time say that it consists Of
365 days. The exact time is 365
days, hours, 48 minutes and 46
seconds. In this time the earth
completes one journey around the
sun.
Then there is the sidereal year,
which has 365 days, 6 hours, 8 min
utes and 1-2 seconds. In this year
the earth goes round the sun and
returns to the same position with
respect to the sun and a given fixed
star. Next there is the anomalistic
year, which has 365 days, 6 hours,
13 minutes and 48 seconds. This
year is that in which the earth trav-
els from perihelion back to perihe-
lion again.
Any boy or girl who has had
scholastic advantages knows that
leap year belongs to the solar year
system. Those more advanced know
that civil and astronomic time are
made equal by adding day every
fourth year and that this makes
leap year. But everybody does not
know that the year is eleven min
utes and twelve seconds short of
365 IA days. The result of this
showed long time ago that every
four years civil time became faster
than solar time by the amount stat
ed. To be exact, this was only a
small fraction of year. The man
who is stickler for splitting hairs
will tell you that this is .00778 of
day. But this little bit figured up
considerably in the course Of centu-
ries. After 1900 years of this time
had been consumed an italian as
tronomer, Aloysius Lilius, discov-
cred that the error amounted to ten
days. That is, civil time was ten
days before the solar time.
Thereupon Pope Gregory XIII.
decreed that ten days should be cut
out. This made Oct. show up on
the calendar as Oct. Is. Then, to
prevent future errors, it was or
dered that every hundredth year
should not be counted as leap year
unless the number of the year was
divisible by 400 without remainder.
That explains why 1900 was leap
year and why 1900 and 1900 were
not. And SO 1900 was not leap year,
but 1000 will be.-New York Trib-
une.
