MOST OF WATER FROM STONY BROOK
Superior Elevation Makes Outflow Much Greater Than Farview-25OO 100000 Gallons of Fine Water There Now-Consumpton is Nearly Two Millions Daily

Stony brook reservoir, from which body of water the greater part of the Norwich water supply is now coming, is $ feet 3 inches below high water mark. Superintendent J. J. Corkery finds from his measurement. Fair view is only 42 inches down. as good 2 midsummer measurement as 1t has ever shown. In spite of the absence nor any heavy rainfall since June, the city's water supply is holding out in splendid fashion. 1,900,000 gallons is the daily consumption for Norwich, and from the difference in level be- tween the old reservoir and the new, it is figured that the latter is supply ing most of the water used. The elevation of Stony Brook is 267 feet and that of Fairview 240 and the dif- ference causes a proporticnately greater outflow from the former.
 The quality of the water coming from Stony Brook is such that there are no complaints. Since the last an-

West Virginia Law Of
Workmen's Compensation

m the 21st day of February, 1918,
.he West Virginia legislature enacted
NEW law: an example of progressive
LEGISLATION, known as the Workmen's
Tom3ensation Act, which Act went in
- effect May 22nd, and which is to be-
o ~ operative October LIST. This law
! similar in principle to acts passed
hr several other states-Ohio and
Washington in particular and is ad-
mustered by the Public Service Com
naission. which Commission was also
reared by the same legislature.
As this new law affects practically
very employer of labor in this state,
i is the earnest desire of the Commits
Sion TO get a copy of the same in the
hands of all such employers, to the end
that they may protect themselves by
having into the fund, and at the same
time secure the benefits Of the act for
their employees.
The principles of this act were held
constitutional by the Supreme Court in
decision in 1911, which! said (speak-
mo os the Washington Compensation
law, that the act violates no provi-
sion Of either the State or Federal Con-
ctitutjon." This act provides certain
.nronpt financial aid and relief to the
injured workman and his family; or,
in case of fatal accident, to his widow,
children or other dependents, as the
ease may be. 1t also does away entire
" with the unsatisfactory suits for in
iIry between the employer and en-
ployee.

tons. That looks more like recon-
mendation than an objection, but it
is seriously offered by Miss Alice Hill
Chittenden, president of the New
York State Anti-Suffrage Association
Miss Chittenden is reported by the As
ISOLATED Press to have delivered an
official statement at Washington, on
July Is, in which she said:
Creating the millennium with the
ballot and regardless of the stagger-
ing cost has been. CALIFORNIA; beauti-

Children are not to be separated from
their parents because of their poverty.
Tn State is to subsidize the home.
School teachers are to be pensioned.
Old people are to receive an annual

ease and comfort is to dawn in the
Golden State And then everybory in
the community will be happy-except
the taxpayers, who must become pau
pers or criminals before they can
draw dividends on their investments in
California's utopian scheme.
Miss Chittenden does not criticize
the measures she mentions because
they are wrong methods of securing
possible and desirable results. She
sneers at them as efforts to bring
about something she regards as ridicul-

A very important feature to the en-

More important still is the certain

of his regular employment, that
prompt medical aid will be furnished
(hospital and nurse if necessary, and

siders still more important than this,
is the certain Knowledge that our State
authorities, by means of carrying on
the business of the Workmen's Com
pensation Fund, will come in such
close contact with the cause of prac-
tically every accident occurring within
the state, will take steps to prevent a
recurrence of such accidents, most of
which are caused by lack of knowledge
of the danger on thep art of both en-
ployer and employees connected with
the work in which they are both en-
gagged.
This is a great work. Let us all
unite in doing what we can to help
promote its success.

WASHINGTON is NOT so HOT
Temperature in Capital in the
Summer Months.

In order that President Wilson need
not fear that by remaining in Wash
ington he will have to endure summer
heat equal to that of the arid portions
of Arizona, Secretary Thomas Grant
of the chamber of commerce has for
warded to him the official statistics OF
the weather bureau showing the fiuc-
tuations of the thermometer in the
national capital during the past nine
summers.
In letter to Secretary Tumulty
Mr. Grant calls his attention to the
agreeable comparison of the tempera-
ture between Washington and Han
over, N. H., which lies near the resi-
dence of Winston Churchill, which
will be used by the presidents family
as a summer residence. The statistics
furnished him by the weather bureau
fail to show that Washington summers
are unbearably hot, the secretary OF
the chamber of commerce states. His
letter declares:
There appeared in a daily paper OF
Sunday the inclosed article, which
rresents a very unfavorable view OF
the temperature in Washington from
June to September. The weather bu.
reau furnishes me a copy of the Off
cial records (herewith), June to Sep
tember, 1903 to 1912, inclusive. l will
not ask you to read the statistics, but
will simply ask you to note that
these records show the average tenn
perature in Washington was as fol.
lows: June, 70:7; July. 75.S; August,
1856; September, 6S.S, The average
temperature for Hanover, N. H., dur.
ing the same period was: June, 62.7;
July, 70; August, 64.9; September,
5S.5. We trust that these figures will
reassure you somewhat as to the con-
ditions here during the summer, and
that you and your distinguished chief,
for whose success we all hope, will
not feel you are TO suffer an Arizona
climate"

SKELETON OF OLD REPTILE
Gigantic Dinosaur of the Jurassio
Age Now on Exhibition at
National Museum.

A skeleton of an armored dlno5aur
or extinct gigantic reptile. sclentifical'
ly termed "Stegosaurus stenops
Marsh," is one of the new exhibits in
the New National museum. This fos.
sill monster is one of the Jurassic age
and was found near Canyon City, Colo.
by NJ. p. Felch, in 1885. Since that
date it has been the subject of much
study by paleontologists. and for this
reason has remained for long time
unexhibited to the public. Now, how
ever the various parts have been as
sembled under the direction of c. w
Gilmore and placed in the relative po-
sitions in which they were originally
found.
The fossil skeleton is about 20 feet
in length, and weighs about ton. 1t
is quite complete, having nearly every
bone in place, and in this respect is
held to be the most valuable speci.
men of it's kind in the world. Not
only the bones, but the armored points
and pads, are plainly to be seen, as
well as many of the wonderful plate
like spines which adorned the back.
Nearly all of these plates are present
in this specimen, while in other in
stances only few have been recover
ed Strangely enough. this great
liZard-like monster of the remote past
evidently met his end in some violent
manner, for its bones were discovered
lying in a position which shows that
the animal was on it's back when 1t
became covered with sand and earth
In which fossilization has preserved
its bones. AS It is mounted in this
position, views of the back and upper
parts are to be seen only by the aid
of mirrors cleverly arranged below 1t
to show these points of the frame
structure.
This newly mounted dinosaur is one
of many specimens belonging to the
o. c. Marsh collection, transferred to
the museum some years ago by the
United States geological survey.
The reptiles were probably of low
order of intelligence, it is pointed out
as they have extremely small brains
Doubtless they possessed only suffi'
cient sense to enable them to walk
about, eat and sleep. 1t is for this rea
son, perhaps, that they were so well
protected. Not being in the least
clever, or even wise enough to pro
tect themselves. they were incased in
a suit of armor calculated to make
their enemies, II they had any, very
cautious about attacking them.
In a paper of the Smithsonian re
port for 1901. on Dinosaurs or Ter
rible Lizards" F. A. Lucas has giver
an excellent account of these monsters
including the "stegosaurus," and they
are also we'll depicted by severa
artists and scientists. The Smithson
ian report mentioned ia new out o.
print, but can be found in most pub
lie libraries.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-06-14
Another Precedent.

President Wilson gave the mdnu.
script of his tariff message which he
read to congress to Mrs. Wilson, who
will keep it as a memento of the his.
torical occasion. The message was
typewriter on small sheets of white
paper, and President Wilson carried
it to the capitol in the inside breast
pocket of his coat. He replaced it in
this pocket when he had finished read
ing, and brought it back to the White
House. Mrs. Wilson has the manu-.
script of the presidents inaugural ad-
dress. This is probably the first time
that any wife of a president has been
interested enough in the work of her
husband to want to keep any of his
messages, and the manuscript will be
historic for that reason also.
