MOVING DAY FOR VISITING NURSES ASSN. IS STORM Y Doctor Stevens Threatens To
 Invoke Law to Restrain Removal. HISTORY OF ROW OF COUNTY BODY RECALLED Health Officials Interfere But Police Refuse to Take Sides in Controversy.
 

The stormy career of the Fairfield County Anti-Tubereu1osis association, now defunct, was recalled today when
 it became known that the removal of the effects of the Visiting Nurses asso- citation from Police and Charities building to the new quarters, 475 State street. was not without vigorous op- position
 The chief opponent to the removal was Dr. Frank ". Stevens, who ques- toned the title of the Visiting Nurses
 Association to the property. Mrs. A. L.. Riker, president of the Visiting Nurses Association, insisted on the ti- tie of the association to the property. Dr. Stevens has been conducting clin-
 ics in the quarters of the association,
 in the Police and Charities building at
 first weekly, but of late not at regular intervals. He opposed the removal
 of the furnishings of the rooms and, Fit was reported today, he threatened to go to legal extremes if necessary,
 to prevent the association from re-
 moving the property.
 Part of the furnishings of the rooms
 was provided from funds gathered
 for the county association. The diff ferences of the members of the asso- so sharply defined that the association split and finally disintegrated. To take Up the work planned by the county association, but with more linn w ganized the Visiting Nurses asSocia- ton. At; first this body maintained one nurse to visit the sick chiefly those afflicted with tuberculosis, but as the membership grew and funds made extension possible, more were added, until now there are three nurses regu. lar1y employed.
 The membership of the Visiting Nurses ass ociation embraces many who were affiliated with the county body, and it was with the consent-im-
 piled at 1east-of the county mem 1 association were used.
 When it became known last week that the Visiting Nurses association was about to remove to quarters con sidered more suitable for the work, Dr. Stevens, who had conducted a cIin- ic in the rooms at first weekly, then, l as the number of patients dwind1ed, at greater and irregular intervals, en- tered strenuous objection. He served notice on Mrs. A. L. Riker, the president of the Visiting Nurses l association, that he, as a member of the county association, would not aI- low the removal of the furnishings. This morning Fred D. Ives, presi- dent of the Board of Health, to whom
 an appeal was made, directed Supt Birmingham of the police department, | not to allow the furniture to be re- moved.
 Supt. Birmingham made inquiry in- | to the controversy, and inasmuch as
 there was no charge of theft, he con
 cluded it was not a dispute to be set
 tied by police interference, but rather
 by civil action. So this forenoon the
 goods were removed. Health Com
 missioner Ives said:
 t.The only interest we have in the matter is to see that the goods are 1 in custody of the proper people. ] 1 wanted to have the moving delayed

by their keepers.
 Keeper ZimgraIben was assisted in the birth today by Dr. William M- Purdue, the Barnum veterinary, who has been present at the birth of hun dreds of wild animals and knows the requirements as probably no other veterinary. John Patterson, superins tendent of the n1enagerfe, a man of broad experience with animals and fearless, assisted materially in the cage when the stork arrived on etilts- Another visit will not be expected for two years, during which time if the husky little girl follows the course of it's brother, it will stand some fifteen feet<in height.
 One of the odd sights of the ooca- sion was the little fear shown by the mother whose fawn-like eyes never winked a lash as she saw the little lion, Baby Jack cavort around the room and sniff at the new7-born. And in a cage side by side when the keep CTS decide Jacks antics at large should be suspended, a lion and lamb lie down side by spde. It is said by Keeper Patterson that in friendly struggles the 1anr1b often butts the lion around the room.

Tyvo and Four Tined Forls.

A writer in the Washington Post tells of an old lady who remembered dining at the White House with MT. and Mrs. John Quincy Adams. MT. Adams ate with his fork, and Mrs. Adams apologized for it, saying that he had acquired the habit during his so5curn in France Mrs. Adams and the other guests used their knives. All this is a comment on changing man ner. But 1t should be noted that MT. Adams ate with a four tined silver fork, while the other guests had only two tined forks, which then were the common kind Without the develop ment of the four tined fork the habit of eating with one's knife would not have been so rapidly discarded. As between four tined fork and knife the fork is to be chosen for conyen- lence's sake, but as between two tined fork and a knife on many occa- Bions the latter would be actually the more serviceable.- Springfield Repub- tican

Cameo Carving.

Cameo carving is by no means a dead art and is being taken up by many young men and women of this city as fascinating recreation It is rather an expensive fad, and it. is in- terestfng to watch one of these skilled amateur craftsmen at his bench .exe- cutting a. difficult model. All the tools used by the carver are but a handful. The worker sits before a wheel turned by pedal and the little, pointed 1n- struments, resembling those used by dentists, are placed in the corner or the small table on which the workers hand rests while he holds the shaped stone or shell beneath the needle-lfke drills. The drills vary in thickness according to the portion of the design to be executed. On account of the high nervous tension the amateur cary CT works but short time each day. New York Sun.

Power of Liahtnina.

It is hardly possible to use instru- ments for the purpose of figuring the forces Of lightning, yet there are many other ways of calculating familiar to every mathematician. The amount of light given by a single lightning flash is enough to Illuminate an area two miles square. The bolt itself would be visible several miles farther off, but the remotest part of the region men tioned would have as much light as would be given by candle-quite enough to read by. To produce such a light it would be necessary to expend 13,000 horsepower for a second. These figures appear very large, but the time is short. The flash might be for only
 one-thousandth part of a second, but the impression on the eye would con
 hnue for tenth of second anyway. Figured down to an exact hour this amount of force would mean only about four horsepowe News.
