The Romance Of Electricity.

We stood on high. platform sur

apparatus enough to put all New
York into darkness or to annihilate it
in an instant by thekunIoosing of ter
rible cohorts of volts-and faced an
enormous white hall, sparsely -peopled
by a few colossal machines that seem
ed to be revolving and oscillating
about their business With the fatalism
of conquered and resigned leviathans.

generated by its engines of a hundred
and fifty thousand horsepower and
that if it were lifted the elevators of

OPERA and other musical selections,
complete plays, speeches, and the like,
all on one continuous record, played
without one interruption, is promised
as a revolution in photograph records
through experiments now being carried
on in Chicago. Heretofore, there have
been but two accepted forms of rec
ords, the cylindrical and the disk. The
new records, if the experiment devel-
ops as expected, will be in the form of
a tape not unlike narrow typewriter
ribbon. From the March Popular Nc

''WHAT next in Mexico?" raises
question which arouses great interest
in the world in general, but especially
in the United States. A country which
has an area as great as that of the
United States east of the Mississippi,
which is as rich in natural resources as
any other land of equal extent on the
globe, and which has as large popu-
lation as the United States had at Van
Buren's election and larger than any
other Latin-American country except
Brazil, can not be permitted to have a
freedom in setting up anarchy which is
allowed to such feeble little states as
Nicaragua and Hayti. The United
States has $1,000, 600, 900 capital in
vested there, with an equal amount for
Great Britain, Germany and the rest
of the countries of Europe combined.
Fully rs, 900 Americans reside in Mex
leo. Two-thirds of her foreign trade is
with us. In humanitarian as we'll as
in an economic sense our stake in the
order and stability of the Mexican re-
public is vast, and as corallary of the
Monroe principle we must not only pro
tect the lives and property of our owl
citizens there, but also those of al
Europeans.

A TOTAL of 288 persons threatened
with rabies have been given the Pas
teur treatment for the prevention of
hydrophobia at the University of Wis
consin hygienic laboratory during the
last two and half years. Five of
these cases were caused from bites
from human beings, one from pet
coyote, and the rest from dogs. The
average cost of the Pasteur treatment
at private institutions is 500, and as a
charge of only $25 is made at the state
hygienic laboratory, sum which bare
ly pays for the expense of treatment,
each patient treated was saved $75.
This amounts to a total saving of
$21, 900 to the 288 persons treated. Of
the 40 examinations for rabies made
during the six months ending January
1, 1913, 80 positive reactions were re-
turned. The fallacy of the old belief
that mad dogs are more common in
July and August than in other months
is shown by the fact that there were
nearly twice as many examinations
for rabies made by the laboratory in
September as in July.

THIS would be the time to have the
recall of judicial decisions, of judges
and of state officers in force in Wiscon-
sin. The whole program would get an
admirable "try OUT in the Ekern
case, writes Ellis Usher. Petitions and
counter petitions would be easy to OBJ
tain to keep Keeling everybody's head
from that of Ekern to the supreme
court and the governor. Anybody with
time to figure it out can see how Gov
ernor McGovern's friends could go
after the senators with petitions for
their recall, and how Mr.. Ekern's
friends could go after Judge Stevens
decision if not his scalp, and so on ad
inquirendum. That is just the sort of
a mixup they are getting out in Ore
gon. 1t would greatly help to illumin-
ate the possibilities of the recall if we
had it in force now. The judicial spirit
of both sides would insure its effective
use.

TWENTY years ago, at the great
worlds fair in Chicago, the greatest
exhibition of human progress ever
given, there were all kinds of vehicles
of transportation in use at the time.
And. there wasn't a single automobile
there. Today, according to estimates
made by the official organ of the Auto
mobile Club of America, there are
over a million automobiles in actual
service in the United States alone, and,
according to other reliable estimates,
there will be 100000 automobiles man
ufactured in the United States during
the year 1913. That is, there is, rough
ly speaking, one automobile to every
hundred people in the country, and
there will be manufactured in this
country this year one automobile to
about every three hundred people.

For the first time in the history of
the state it will be impossible for any
man to vote in the coming spring cleo
ton unless he is full citizen. In the
November election of 1912 man with
first papers could vote, but beginning
December l, 1912, a law went into eff
feet making a man ineligible to vote
who is not full citizen of this country.
The new law will make it impossible
for a number to cast their ballots in
April this year.

PRAISE FOR WORK OF
 SERGEANT GEORGE HAUX

A high tribute to the BertiIlon de- partment in Bridgeport was recently given when in a letter to Supt. Bir- 1ningham, J. s. Par1inan, considered as the expert in finger-print and crirn- inaI photo grap phfc work, wrote:
 t'In relation to the photograph taken in your city which the Hartford de- partment tried to- secure on several occa sions, the one you have taken is a splendid specimen and it is not nec- essary for you to take a back seat for anyone when it comes to taking and developing photographs.''
 J. S. Parlinan who is the manager of one of the largest Identification bu- reaus in New York, is an authority upon such subjects, and his word as conveyed in this letter reflects credit to Sergeant George Haux, in charge of the local department.

ntshed less goods for what was paid to them. He compared the schools system with the water system, show ing that the latter is in ornparison a small affair. and indicated that the water system takes from the people almost as much in profits it costs to educate every child in Bridgeport.
 Representa- Wilson concluded by saying: "City government begins in the primaries. The citizens must vote in the primaries if they want good government. If they wish to install commission government they must be- gin in the primaries He added: ''It is scarcely a secret that I intend to go to the people on the stump next July, and that I am going to ask all the Republicans who are not registered for primaries to register in their par ty, and all the Democrats who are not registered to register in their party, and then I shall ask the Republican voters to kick out of power the public service corporation double machine Republicans, and I shall ask the Dem ocrats to finish kicking out of power the public service corporation double

NEW HAVEN IS
 275 YEARS OLD
Oak Trees Planted on Historic Green in Observance of
 Anniversary

| New Haven, April 25-On April 25 163S, the Rev. John Davenport, some times minister of St. Stephens church, Coleman street, London, preached his
 first sermon here to the planters of
 the New Haven Colony under a spreading oak that stood near the in
 tersection of College and George streets.
 He took his text from Matthew -iv, 1.
 According to tradition he was followed
 by his colleague, the Rev. MT. Prud-
 den, who afterwards founded the
 church in Milford. MT. Prudden's dis
 course was on the text, ''The voice of
 one crying in the wilderness, prepare
 ye the way of the Lord, make His
 paths straight
 The planting%o of the New Haven Col April 25, 1888. In commemoration of the day two oak saplings were plant ed today back of Center church in ommemoration of Davenport and his lifelong friend, Gov. Theophilus Eaton. who was annually chosen the chief magistrate of the colony from the time of the arrival of the coIonists here until his death in 1857 when he was buried directly back of the present site of Center church. Davenport died and was buried in the tomb of his friend, John Cotton, in Boston.
 There were no ceremonies connected with the planting of the oaks. Dr. Maurer, as the successor of Mir. Dav- enport, planted the Davenport oak as- sisted by MT. Cromie, the city fores- ter, and Col Samuel H. Fisher, a de scendant of MT. Davenport. The Eaton oak was planted by former President Taft assisted by MT. Am rhyn, superintendent of parks, and Walter Ruel Cowles, a descendant of Governor Eaton. The permanent mem bers of the Park Commission were present, namely, William w. F:arnann, president of the Park Commission; Governor Baldwin Colonel Rutherford and Henry F. English
 The Park Commission gave George Dudley Seymor permission some months ago to plant these memorial oaks. The pits were dug for them some weeks ago and filled with rich lOam and fertilizer. The oaks were personally selected at the Greenwich by MT. Amryhn.
 The Center church Is planning to l hold a celebration some time during | the fall of the 275th anniversary of the l founding of the city, and the tooth anniversary of the building of the 1 present meeting house.
