Garibaldi's father decided that Gu
seppe be set aside for the priesthood
because "the boy felt so sorry for a
cricket which lost its leg" while under
investigation. Morse's father concluded
that the boy would preach wei because
he could not keep his head above water

ed that nature fitted him for a painter
and a painter he would be.
Enters Yale at IA.
He entered Yale at IA. Under Pro
fessOrs Day and Silliman he received
his firstimDulse towards the electrical
studies with which his name is mainly
identified. The taetes of his early years
were so strongly favorable to art. that
at 20 he accompanied Washington al
stOn, then the greatest of American
painters, to England, under whom he
pursued his studies in art for four
years. He could do fair work as a
portrait painter, but on his return to
America the commissions came in slowly.
After working on portraits for two years
at Charleston, S. c., he removed first
to Washington and afterwards to Al
bany, finally settling in New York.
In 1926 he laid the foundation of the

There were far greater men than
Morse in the sphere of science, but none
showed a noblier sacrifice or more I'M

the familiar words of the Scripture and
they were used without consultation with
the inventor. but were si1gularly eX-

years to make apparatus that would

having been supplemented three years
later by the discovery of the relay" by
which means the electrical current might
be reinforced when it became weak
through distance from its source.
AIorse's English applications for n
patent were refused on the ground that
his invention had already been appro-
priated by the French government. In
1S47 Morse had to defend his invention
in the courts at home and finally his
claim OF original inventor of the cleo
tro-magnetie recording telegraph was
indicated. Thence forward his life was
spent in watching the growth of his
enterprises, and receiving distinctions
from the governments Of the world.

Conclusion Reached That Dividend Should Be Reduced From Eight
 to Six Per Cent.

The Boston Transcript yesterday published a ten-colunn review of the affairs of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, the main conclusion of which is that the dividend on the stock should be re- duced from eight to six per cent Three questions and the answers which are given afford a brief sum- mary of the whole article: No. j. Is the company 0Ss''ap''aliAsa debt and fixed charges, is the com pany's financial position sound? Yes, at present, impregnably so.
 3. Is the company in a position to continue with prudence the payment
 It is argued that the following de- ductions should be made from the companys valuation:
 Depreciation allowance on
 Deduction from Connecti-
 cut company investment 12, 525, SST Deduction from N. Y,

 @In excess of validation allowance, which was par for the stock, or $20o,- 900.
 ''In short, the New Haven should not be paying more than six per cent. dividend and five per cent. would be more reasona bIe. Any such rate as that now being paid means an unwar- rantabIe strain on the com panyS fin ances and credit, and to all outward appearances. some depreciation of the property.
