MISTAKES ! N ST T OF OF 4 SCIENTIST
Sir George Airy's Predictions About
Atlantic Cable and Big Ben Were
sS Proved Wrong. 8s ;14 ~

Sir George Biddell Airy, British
astronomer royal, told the pioneers OF
the first Atlartic cable that it was a
mathematical impossibility to sub
merge the cable to- the necessary
depth, and if it were possible no sig
mails could travel through SO great a
distance. Sir George was also asked
about the possibility OF making Big
Ben, the great clock il the tower above
the houses Of fparliament,Qso trustwcr,.
thy that it, would not lose five sec
! .ods day on the average. He re
piled that no clock exposed to the
weather could run with so small an
error. Tie late Lord Grinthorpe, how
ever, said he would guarantee the de-
gree of exactness, and by designing
his gravity escapement he produced .
timepiece that is never Ave seconds

to which it signals its time each day,

wish to keep the reader attention
upon the tiptoe of aetiy Eho desire
to escape the imputat iongof pedantry

long, lingering sentences, unduly over

the reader, especially il the subject

him with a confused concept Of the
ideas which the writer apparently has

Superior Court.

The hearing on the temporary in- junction secured by the Rockville Aqueduct company restraining Koelsch & Einseidel from using grounds on Lake Snipsic for picnic resort was held in Rockville Thursday before Judge J. H. Reed. The temporary injunction was granted on the ground that the new resort would tend to pollution of the water of the lake, which is used for drinking purposes by the city of Rockville. Superin- tendent A. T. Thompson of the aqueduct company said that the danc- ing pavilion at the new resort is 15O feet from the lake, with a restaurant on the lower floor. The two toilet closets are about 200 and 225 feet from the lake. There are six row. boats and launch, and the grounds cover an acre of land. Joseph Doran of Derby and John A. Flynn of Hart ford, state policemen, told of visiting the new resort on the three days it was open and the conditions at the lake on Memorial day. Many other witnesses were examined. Judge Reed reserved his decision.
