most of the others of the famous liter
airy group who later warred so bitterly
on Christianity. Almost from his boy
hood Diderot was a confirmed atheist,
and this was a great blow to his
father, who had intended him for the
church. Denis was then sent to an
attorneys office in Paris, but, While
studying science and literature with
enthusiastic diligence, he paid scant
attention to law. Cast on his own re-
sources, Diderot made q bare living
with his pen, and at one time wrote a
series of sermons for a clergyman! "A
fertile, daring and suggestive thinker,
and bold and eloquent talker, he
soon became one of the foremost fig
ures among those Bohemians who
gathered weekly around the banquet

His t-Pensees Philosophiques, pub
1ished in 1746, were SO bold in their
attacks on the established order as to
earn for the author the fear and
hatred of church and state. His Let
ter on the Blind in which he first
suggested the possibility of teaching
the blind to read by the sense of
touch, contained such radical philo-
sophica1 observations as to win for
Diderot the friendship of Voltaire-

In 1850 Diderot, in conjunction with
D'Alembert, framed the plan for his

were denounced as an organized band
of conspirators against society, bent
on spreading pestilent doctrines.
For twenty years, of incessant

had to carry on his Iabors clandestine-

CONNECTICUT FARMS
IN GREAT DEMAND.

Connecticut farms are by no means
a drug on the market. During the
year ended June 80, Secretary Leon
ard H Healey, of the State Board OF
Agriculture received more than $500
letters of inquiry regarding Connecti-
cut farms, Many of these inquiries
were received as a result of the issu-
ing, by the Board of Agriculture, ear
" in 1912, of a bulletin, describing
fifty farms for sale in this state. With
in a. year from the time the bulletin
was issued all the farms had been
sold and early last spring a new bull
letin. listing about 100 farms, was
issued.
Now the state board of agriculture
is preparing a new and larger bulletin
and has prepared a form to be used
by the owners of farms who wish to
sell The blank provides for detail
ed description of the property.
The service will be without cost to
the farmers, except that, if the owner
wishes to have a picture of his build
ings appear in the bulletin, a charge
of SO to cover the cost of the cut will
be made.
There is a wide range in size, price
and character of the farms that are
for sale through the state board of
agriculture. On the hillsides of Wind
ham and Holland counties, there are
many small farms that can be bought
for $1,000 or less. Larger farms in
the valleys will cost more, but the
prices are very moderate throughout
the state There are many farms
available at reasonable prices, that
have a shore or river frontage and
there are scores of places that would
make splendid summer homes, either
at the shore or in the hill regions Of
the state.

triously to his tasks, and made close
study of the workings Of the depart
ment in which he was employed, with
the result that at twenty-five he was
made general storekeeper of the road
He continued in that capacity until
1882, and in the meantime married
Elizabeth Bridget Maggie, of Milwau-
kee.
1t was just thirty-one years ago this
month that the young Irishman began
his connection with the Canadian Pa
cif1c railway, an utilization that was to
win for him fame and fortune, the
presidency of a great transcontlnentaI
railway system, and the honor OF
knighthood. The Canadian Pacific was
then under construction. Hostility
and distrust at home and abroad, with
Consequent inability to obtain suffi-
dered the project, and the affairs of
the company were in critical state.
Young Sheughnessy was given the po-
sition of general purchasing agent,
with tremendous responsibilities and
very small pay, as measured by the
present standard of remuneration. Up
on the completion of the road he was
made assistant general manager, and
in 1889 he was elevated to the post Of
assistant to the president. His next
step was into the vice presidency, and
in 1898 he became president, and ush-
cred in an era of extensions and i'm
provements that spread c. P. rails all
over the new West. He became Sir
Thomas in 1901, when he was knighted
by Queen Victoria, and in 1909 he was
made a Knight Commander Of the
Royal Victorian Order.

wants of humanity, was born sixty
seven years ago today at Central
Bridge, Schoharie county, N. Y. From
his youth he was gifted with a genius
for mechanics, and at fifteen, while
employed in his fathers little machine
shop in Schenectady, he invented a ro-
tary engine. After serving in the civil
war he turned his attention to invent
ing an automatic air brake and other
safety, devices for railroads. His first
air brake was a crude affair, and in
operation it metimes resulted in the

Westinghouse soon brought his inven-
ton to the front where it was vastly
superior to the o1d-fashioned hand
brakes. The inventor wrote to Com

brake and asking for a test, but that
magnate returned the letter with a line
scrubbed across the bottom, reading,

POWER IN HANDS OF BOARD
Is Largely a Copy of Methods
in Vogue in Europe.

The charter commission has pro
vided for a city planning board for
Cleveland under the new form of gov
eminent Its exact authority remains
probably to be bestowed by legisla-
ton, though it's utility in a modern
metropolitan community is unques-
toned. A city planning conference
has just been held in Chicago. Among
those in attendance was a German
expert who told how the cities in his
country, and in particular how Ber-
lin. controlled urban development so
as TO avoid some OF the evils too ia
miliar in the United States. Berlin
was divided into sections or zones and
strict regulations established as to the
height and character of the buildings
which might be erected in each. Some
things endured by the people of Ger
man cities might not be so acceptable
in this country. but the general policy
of more rigidly regulating the NANTES
tations of growth could be copied prof
itably. American cities have grown
run riot in New York. The tenement
house evil might have been prevented
in large part had government as
sumed more control over the utiliza-
ton of private property. Narrow,
crooked, streets are a menace and a
reproach. Cleveland takes a step for.
ward in providing the machinery for
city planning. The city has accom-
plished much already in this direction,
but the further possibilities are unlim-
tied.

Broken Leo Set by corcrete.

A laborer in Columbus, o., had his
broken leg partially reset by the con-
crete which had been dumped on him
from a bucket. The blow of the
bucket broke his leg, and the concrete,
flowing out, made a firm cast around
the limb. The doctors who finally
got to work on the broken bone had
first to remove the concrete, and re-
port that the cast had done its work
very well, even helping to reset the
bone
