The new Municipal building, or city hall is now nearing completion and will be classed among the hand somest Buildings in the state. It is a building for which the people of New London have cause to feel proud, provided the cost is not taken into consideration. not that the people ob Ject to the price. but they were told at the outset that the cost of the build ing would not exceed $60,o9e when as matter of fact the cost will be in the vicinity of $18e,000 and that price does not include the site. No doubt every dollar was honestly and eco- nomically expended. but a detailed report of the expense will be reading of more than ordinary interest. The building is none too good for the growing city. but the cause for the misleading statements as to the cost are not clearly understood by the un- initiated. In proportion to what oth CT Dalldfngs or equal magnitude have cost the municipal building was not erected at a fair price. or else the other buildings were erected at quite a loss to the contracting parties.

 that occupied the present site of the municipal building, al the corner of State and Union streets was com pleted and occupied early In 1856. It was then described as a neat, quad ranguIar building, 52 by 54 feet; con- not deficient in simple grandeur, though planned with reference to municipal service rather than for orn- ament. It stood on the site of an ancient dwelling house owned and occupied for about eighty years by the Law family: first by Hon. Richard Law and afterWard by his son Lyman Law The city hall lot cost 5000 and the building $33,000. It was built by Edward Pfest of New London from plans of Architect William T. Hallet. of New York
 It was the custom for years for some of the Irish citizens of years ago to date the time of their birth, mar riage or other life incidents from the Night of the Big Wind, and so it is with some of the older residents of New London who take their dates from the year the English ship Reso- lute was in New London harbor, for in that year the harbor was frozen solidly over and people had no diff1- culty In skating or walking to the ship and about everybody in New London at that time made the visita- ton. The ship was brought into New London harbor the day before Christ mas in 1855. In this connection it is timely to retail the story of the Reso- lute briefly:
 The ResoIute was brought from the Arctic region under the command of Captain James M. Buddington, of Groten, master of the whale ship George Henry, of New London. The Reso1ute was ship of 500 tons burden strongly built, and sheathed to encounter the hazards of polar navi- gation, and was one of a fleet of five vessels sent out by the British gov ernment under the command of Sir Edward Belcher, to search for John Franklin and his crew. Her immedi- ate commander was Captain Kellett The ship was caught in the ice near Melville Island, and was eventually surrounded by a field of ice three hundred miles in extent. After re- maining in this condition for several months. and no prospect appearing for releases she was abandoned in May 1854, and the captain and crew returned to England in other vessels of the fleet.
 Sixteen months afterWard, (not eleven years as stated recently by a writer for a local paper) September 10 1S55 the ResOltIte was discovered

But, when you come down to brass tacks, a good many of us could make more money than we actually do, if we would take surer aim at the dollar on the target. We may not have even the two per cent of inspira tion which goes to make up the money making genius But how about the ninety eight per cent of perspiration ? I don't think, speaking off hand and as a mere observer of my fellows for sixty odd years, that all of us regu- larly exude that full amount I rath- CT suspect that there are some of us who are by no means geniuses in any direction and who are now submerged under the $500 mark, who might at least struggle up into the s6O1 class if we weren't quite so penurious in our eXpenditure of perspiration

Fluid Rocks Beneath the EartEl's
 Surface.

It is believed that a some unknown depth beneath the eaTths surface the temperature and pressure become so high that the rocks are softened and flow about in q, seni-liquid condition. Hosllins. says the New York Evening Post, put the depth at from seven to eight miles. Van Hise reduced the fig ure to three or four miles.
 Several years ago the suggestion was made by c. A. Parsons at the British Association. that some light might be thrown on the problem by placing a hollow cylinder of granite or quartz in a steel mold and subjecting 1t to very hieh preSsures.
 F. D. Adams, of McGiI University. finally put the suggestion into practice and with extremely interesting results. He found that granite at ordinary tenn peratures,. but under conditions of hydrostanic pressuree or cubic com pression such as exist within the earth's crust could carry a load of ten tons to the square inch-that is, seven times as much as would crush ii under ordinary surface conditions.
 From this he concludes that at least as far down as eleven miles below the surface granite does not flow" and that at this level empty cavities may exist in it. This. it will be seen. Is from two to three times the depth glv- en by Van Hise.

Dou Pope Loves.

It seems that the late Archbishop Stoner, whose long residence in Rome made him well known to English speaking Catholics the world over, en- joyed the distinction of being the only person. in recent years, at any rate, who was privileged to take a dog with him, not only to the Vatican. but into the private apartments of the pope: The archbishop was a true lover of dogs, and had 8 Great Dane named Beau, who was his insepsrable companion. .'-.
 The archbishop was held in high es- teem by Plus IN, who, hearing of his four footed friend expressed a de- sire to see him. Accordingly, on his next visit to the Vatican Archbishop Stoner took his dog with him and in to the presence of the pontiff. The same experience was repeated under Leo XIII, and both pontiffs developed so strong liking for the Great Dane ss to ask that ne always accompany his nas ster when he came to see them.

Roosevelt Bolts Again.

From the New York World.
 We regret Iu report that there ig a split in the Progressive party and that MT. Roosevelt has bolted again. His formal repud:ation in the Outlook of the Cubists and Futurists makes it more than doubtful that his Bull Moose party can ever be kept together.
 Although We agree with everything that MT. Roosevelt says abut the Cubists and F'Lturist pictures as a 'lupatic fringe the fact remains that these views of art are identical with Mr. Roosevelt's views of government. The liberties that the Cubists and Flu turists take with form and color and perspective are identical with the lib critics that Mr. Roosevelt takes with courts and constitutions. When he dis misses their apclogia with the. con- temptuous remark that change may mean death, not life, and retTogression, not development" he joins the ranks of the reactioDaries. His language is as reprehensible as that of a fossil ized justice of the United States supreme court.
 The Cubists and Futurists, ac- oording to their way of thinking. are engaged in making this a better coun- Try for George W. Perkins's children, and they are entitled to MT. Roose- velt's active sympathy. They stand at a Cubist Armageddon battling for a Cubists lord. They are the Osawato- mic speech of art. The Nude Des- cending a Staircaise" is the perfect pictorial representation of a Roosevelt platform.

New Atoms for Old.

Sir William Ramsay has been mak- f1:S important discoveries at such a rapid rate during recent years that another one from his laboratory is hardly cause for wonder. The news paper despatches do not make en- tire1y clear the exact character of his latest achievement. It has been known for a considerable time that he and Professor Norman Collie were at work on some curious phenomena connected with cathode rays. He published suggestive little note last July in which he described the find ing of heilium and neon (elements both of which were discovered Irer- restrialiyJ by Sir William limseIf) ill the glass of old K-ray bulbs. In the same communication the prepa- ration of neon by bombarding cal cium f1Goride with cathode rays was announced.
 At that time Professor Ramsay called attention to the apparent dis integration of molecules and atoms in his experiments, resulting from bombardment of electrons that is, by the cathode rays. The recent ad- of esS before the Chemical Society ap- rears to have been a description of this research, perhaps with some later details added. Sir William is reported to have suggested three pos- sible explanations of the experimental results Two of these involve the transmutation of one or several ele- ments into others; the third the creation of matter from electricity, or the birth of an atom,' as the head lines indicate Professor Ramsay com mitted himself to neither of these eX- plantations. The first of them. the transmission theory. is the least re- mar1<ahle. and hence, other things equal" the most probable. For as a matter of feet. Sir William Ramsay years ago called attention 10 the first known tTansnutation. that of radium into helium. To be sure this ie a pro cess going on sponta3 eously. and hence differing somewhat from an art ifcial transrnutation produced by a directed bonabart7ment wit11 cathode rays. but the spontaneous change just as certainly made a redefning of the atom necessary. as does this later achievement. - New York Evening Post

Superfiuitiss. S.

Beware of the opportunities! They crowd out the necessities. The more things you have that you don't want the less you have that you do want.
 The reason why prosperity so often degrades life is that there can be no noble life without simplicity.
 If you want to write for instance. it is better to use a plain deal table than a mahogany carved table. stud ded with diamonds. because the cheap article does not detract your attention, require your care, nor in any wise get in your way.
 a quart of diamond rings is to clog your life They do nothing to you but tickle your vanity, which is contempt iblc while in others they provoke jeal- ousy, envy. perhaps robbery and mur- der Why bother with them !?
 The best kind of life, it is univers- ally acknowledged is that kind that has the most worthy enthusiasms. To get pleasure out of music, litera- ture, the arts, travel and the inter c purse with superior minds deepens and enrfches your personality. An overbig house a retinue of servants, several automobiles, horses, dogs, ex- pensive clothes and a hundred wagon loads of -brac render this kind of life impossible.
 It is a common complaint that there are so many things going on and so many demands upon us that we have no time for seif-culture. If we would unload our superhuities we would find time
 Cut out the superfiuous friends" of your social world. Resign from your strife for precedence. Get your living down to the bare comforts and neces- sitles and you will feel as gay and free as boy when he first takes off his shoes and runs barefoot over the grass in spring.
