avoid the heavy losses to agriculture
from occasional periods of drought in
districts ordinarily well watered
In view of the growing demands
upon our water supply, it is evidently
fitting shat there should be thor
ough study OF our water resources. The
streams should be gagged, that we
may know their rates of flow in diff
ferent seasons of the year and their
huctuation in different years. The
gaging of the streams must, therefore
be carried on not for one year but
for term of several years, in order
that the necessary data may be obs
tanned. Profiles of the streams
should be constructed SO as to indicate
suitable sites for storage reservoirs
and for the development of water
power.
The underground waters of the state
should also be studied. Already our
population is coming to rely largely
upon deep wells for manufacturing
and other purposes. The geological
structure of Connecticut is not such
as to make it possible to say with APP
proximate certainty, as can be done in
some part of the country. at what
depth an abundant supply of water
can be encountered. But it is be-
lieved that a careful study Of wells
and springs throughout the states will
render it possible to map the distri-
button of ground water in such a way
that the search for an underground
supply of water will not be SO COM
pIetely a lottery as it is at present.

THB Art OF LIVING

To touch the cup with eager lips and
taste, not drain it;
To WOO and tempt and court a bliss
and not obtain it;
To fondle and caress a joy, yet hold
it lightly,
Lest 1t become necessity and cling
tightly.
To smother care with joy, and grief
with laughter;
To hold the present close, not qt1es-
tfoning the hereafter;
To See the sun sink in the West, with
out regretting;
To hail his advent in the East the
night forgetting
To have enough to spare, to know the
joy of giving;
To thrill response to every sweet of
life that's living

of the abbot Of Unreason,' was a
very important functonary Of the
Christmas ceremonies in the olden
time. His office was that Of master of

On the Track Of the

proper time for its celebration.
Even now, in Greece and Rus

twelve days after the year Is well on

world.
The ancient Egyptians and Persians
began. the new year ut the autumnal
equinox, Sept %. and the Greeks Of
Solons time at the winter solstice.
Dec. 2l. but In the time Of Pericles the
date was changed to the summer SOL
stice, June 2l. The Romans began the
year from the winter solstice until
Caesar changed 1t to Jan. /. With the
Jews the new year began in September
in civil affairs, but In their ecclesiasti-
cal reckoning the beginning OF the
year dates from the vernal equinox,
March 90. And, as this is astronomi-
cally the beginning OF spring. the date
is logical one. and that Of the 25th of
March (25 being a more fully rounded
Christian nations In medieval times as

In England Dec. 20 was New Years
until the time Of William the Conquer
or. His coronation happened to fall
on Jan. ]. and accordingly the year
was ordered to commence on that day.
But the English gradually fell into
union with the rest Of Christendom
and began the year on March 25. When
in 1852 the Gregorian calendar was
promulgated and definitely located
New Years on Jan. ! most Catholic
countries adopted It at once. but Eng.
land did not acquiesce until 1852.
In ancient Rome New Years day
was given up to feasting and frolick-
Ing. Sacrifcial fires burned continual

litigation and strife were suspended.
