SMITH HILL MUST GO (Continued from First Page.)

After MT. Bartram's talk, President Bennett must be convinced by the speeches. of the necessity for action, and called on MT. Bennett to say few words in his official capacity.
 Mr. Bennett said he had waited in some apprehension to he T. some mem- bers of his party say that he had used profanity on the Smith Hill trip. that afternoon. He recalled that some ex- plosive explosives were used, assuring MT. Roraback that he would mention no names" He assured President Kane that it dld not require all those speeches to "convert" him-he was converted be- fore he entered the hall. He said the situation might be divided into three tentative routes-the Smith Hill road itself, the route around the lakes, and a new layout that had been considered. It was largely an engineering proposi- tion. It is not considered wise at this time to build any more new lines until those now under construction are com pleted. The appropriation for this road must come out of the trunk line fund. At the present time there is nothing re- maining of the appropriation, and 1t will be impossible to make any ad- ditional contracts this summer. The commissioner must wait until another appropriation is made by the present legislature Much will depend upon the amount of that appropriation. It is only far that you should receive more than your share of the next appropria- tion on account of past failure to "uild However there are other sectioDs of the state, that have had no appropriation. All towns ill the state must have access to the central part and to Hartford. It is difficult problem for the com missioner to decide just what to do and how to spend the money. Each section of the state must be fairly dealt with. The commissioner closed with the assurance given above that the Smith Hill road should get the earliest benefit from the new appropriation.
 At the close of the speaking the conl- pany were invited to the assembly room on the second floor where bountiful re treatments were served, topped off with cigars

The First Sailors.

The first people. so far as we know to navigate the deep waters were the Phoenicians. For long time the Phoe nician ships were the only ones to be seen on the Mediterranean or Atlantic At an age so remote that 1t cannot be determined with any degree of exacti tude the Phoenicians traded along the Atlantic shore south with Africa and north with the British isles. It is just possible, of course, that other na tions may have navigated the deer waters as early as the Phoenicians, but to say that they did Is but to proceed upon pure guesswork. A wonderful people were the Phoenicians, who have been called the Yankees of antiquity New Yark American.

First Life PoIicv

"The first life insurance policy that was ever issued is said to have been written on June IS. 1883, and to have been for 1888 6s Sd. on the life of a certain William Gibbons" said Arch ibald A. Welch in a lecture. "The policy was for one year, and the premi- um was 8 per cent of the sum insured: the age was unknown. It happened that Gibbons died on May %, 1584, we'll within the calendar year, but the ground that twelve months of twenty eight days each had passed. The courts, however, decided against the insurers and the money had to be paid."-Ex- change.

Classic New York.

There is probably no better illustra- tion of the irrelevancy of certain place names than that afforded by the classic names of many towns, villages and cit ies in the state of New York. By way of illustration the following names from the single county of Cayuga may be mentioned: Auburn. Aurelius, Bru- tus, Cato, Conquest, Genoa, Mentz, Scipio, Sempronius and Venice. In On ondaga county are Apulia, Camillus, Cicero, Delphi, Euclid, Fabius, Man Illus, Marcellus, Memphis, Mycenae. Pompey and the large city of Syracuse. In Seneca county are names like Jun jus, Ovid and Romulus. Other large cities in other parts of the state are named Rome, Utica and Troy.-Report of American Scenic and Historic Pres ervation Society. ..

The Winq of a Bird,

The typical vertebrate limb, various. ly modified in the arm of a man or the fore limb of cat or frog or bird, has one bone in the upper arm, which gives support to two in the forearm. which similarly yield to four at the wrist, and from these five digits can just comfortably be extended. The bird, however, decided to fly rather than grasp with its hand, so that three and half fingers are all it has retained of the five which its reptilian ancestors bequeathed to 1t.
