Game Birds Dying

The extreme suffering among the game birds from the severe winter Is causing considerable anxiety to Supt. John M. Crampton of the state fish and game commission. Especially along the shore, where black ducks have collected by the hundreds, is the distress very evident. The snow and ice have completely covered the seeds and grass es which in more open weather are obtainable, and the birds can find abso. utely nothing upon which to subsist Some of them are found dead every day. the victims of starvation and cold, and all appear to be in & weakened condition. Forced by hunger, the ducks have be- come quite tame, and come close to the cottages and houses along the shore devouring whatever crumbs or morsels may be thrown out to them.
 Superintendent Crampton has already sent hags of corn and grain to some of the deputy game wardens along the coast, in response to messages received of the predicament of the sea fowl. He is also anxious that all the deputy war dens aud other residents along the shore should take an interest in the humane work of caring for the suffering ducks during the present crisis. and see that grain of some suitable food is provided, wherever possible.

Passenger train service on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad is to be reduced, beginning March 15 President James H. Hustis, while de- clning to give any details of the curtail- ment in operation, said that the Boston suburban services and the through trains to New York and other distant points would be little affected.
 It was unofficially stated that the re- duction would amount to between and 10 per cent. indicating retirement of about thirty five trains. This will mean revision in the schedules of many express trains, which will make stops covered by the trains to be drop ped.
 The change is in the interests of econ ony. The details to be followed are those recommended in the reports of ex- perts who have been going over statis- tics to find which trains did not pay for their operation.

 The Bridgeport Standard says: "The transmission operation by which Setzer received quart of blood from the body of a healthy young man, has proved a success. Dr.. Charles O.. Godfrey, one of the physicians who performed the op- eration. said today that the transfusion saved the life of Mir. Setzer and tha, the latter will be as active as ever in a short time. His own blood has been built up and strengthened by the addi tion of the blood from the young mans body and he is now on the road to com plete recovery"

THE PULM0T0R

Valuable Life-Saving Dey,ce Installed
 at the Electric Light Office.
 At the local office of the Connecticut Power Co. is "pulmotor," for the rec susoitation of victims of electric shock, asphyxiation, drowning. etc.
 The instrument. which forces oxygen into the lungs through artificial respira- tion, is supplied by the company es- pecially for the proteoticn of the lives of employees who meet with accident in the progress of their duties, as electricians or otherwise, but is held available Bar the use of physicians or other competent operators who may need the use of such an appliance. It is an effective instru- inent, the value of which has been amply demonstrated in many emergency cases, ana many wonderful instances of its ef- fciency are on record, including case in New Haven, where a man who was knocked from an electric light pole by shock, was gwen up for dead and practi- cally placed in the charge of the under taker. A pulmotor was procured and after six hours of work on the corpse" life and natural breathing were restored and the undertaken was cheated out of his job. The victim was speedily re- stored to health and strength and is alive and in good working order today.

Vibration Stopped.

The unmusical vibration of the service water pipes caused by the constant op- eration, especially at night, of the pump at the pumping station of the Canaan Water Oo., which gave rise to so much complaint on, the part of citizens, has been obviated to very great extent by the adoption of a "raw hide gear" at- tached to the cogwheels of the pump, which acts as a sort of "absorber" of the jar which caused the vibration. En- gineer Burghardt says the device works satisfactorily, and since it's adoption there have been very few complaints of the vibration nuisance.

Broken up by the heavy rains the ice began to run down through Derby. Mon- day from the upper Housatonic. It was piled up in the roadway in Oxford in front of the summer home of Judge w. $.

A jam occurred opposite the Derby Country Club and a family occupying a house there was forced to seek refuge in the second story as the flood surged through the first floor.
 In Shelton a section of the roof of the gas company's house and part of the Silver Plate Cutlery Company's building were unroofed.
