A Spectrum Victory.

A victory has been achieved by the spectrum, the little strip of colors made by beam of light passing through a triangular piece of glass, q victory that is almost as remarkable as spectrum analysis of the substances of which the stars are made or the spectrum determination as to how fast a star revolves. By studies of the col ored strip an astronomer has been able to flx the temperature of stars. Our sun has temperature of 4,950 degrees O., and the temperature of one star, known as Gamma Pegasi, he found to be 100000 degrees c. Alpha Tauri he found to have only a modest 2,150 de grees.-Saturday Evening Post.

CORNWALL HOLLOW
JAMES FITCH BRADFORD

Mir. James Fitch Bradford died July IA. after an illness of but a few weeks, from hardening of the arteries and other complications. His infirmities had manifested themselves for matter of years, yet his industry held them in obeyance until this, his 77th year. His age was 77 years and months.
 With his brother John he had lived at the ancestral homestead, bachelor life but an entirely worthy, faithful Chris tain life; member of the Cougrega- tional church for 5S years. He was sometime a member of the district school board. .e ........ .t....... -.....ss ..
 The occasion of his funeral at the Bradford homestead brings to mind the simple life story of an honorable Con- nectlout family as it is recorded in his. torical anuals. ...a a..a
 John Bradford. hneal descendant of the Plymouth Governor, brought to Cornwall from Montville, Conn.,, Mary Fitch, his wife, a descendant of the Rev. James Fitch, of Norwich, Conn. He took up the land that has been held in the Bradford name since, in I772, where in 1877 he passed, leaving it to his son James Fitch Bradford. James, family was a large one of eleven children. His son Fowler. parried Charlotte Belden, of Canaan, Had three sons, James, John who held the place up to this present day and son Henry who died in Phy- mouth. His daughter Mary, married MT. F. l.. Beckley. and lives in Canaan. They have one daughter, Charlotte, whose home is with them and whose affeotionate care relieved James during his last illness.
 James Fitch Jr. left quite an estate the accumulation in part of his own in, dustry and Yankee thrift and economy and in part legacy from his brother Henry.
 The Bradfords intermarried with the Harrisons and Smiths, foremost families of Cornwall, and have been loyal tc church and state duties and of the very strength of the kingdom and their coun. try of whose sterling qualities this re- public has received its foremost place in history and whose domestic virtues are priceless heritage.

carnivorous Plants.

That such plants as "venus' fly trap" actually catch and squeeze to death flies and other insects alighting on their leaves has long been known, but the discovery is comparatively recent that the plants digest the softer parts of their prey by means of a peptic fer ment secreted by the leaves. These are real instances of plants feeding upon animals.
