Mr. Lounsbury said in answer to MT. Pullmanfs questions, that he had sold 47 acres of his own property on the Saugatuck river to John c. Fel- idence. It comprised meadow. swamp. pasture and acres of heavy timber. The consideration was s5s- 900. To MT. Stoddard, representing the water company, he said that the Mark Twain place and several sum mer residences were in the same lo- cality The railroad station was less than two miles distant.
 samuel P Seinor, vice president Of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Co, and civil engineer by profession. said he had been in the company,s ser vice for thirteen years During that time he had been in charge Of the compAny,s construction work In the towns of Easton and Fairfield he had pur chased between 3, 800 and 5000 acres in connection with the com pany.s present development work. Th e witness smiles when he said the land was farming land and bunga- low sites. The purchases compris- ed 50 or 50 buildings. His estimate of the entire value of the Sanford pro eerJy under condem nation was SIG o0e.
 This estimate was based mostly on it's value as farm property. Claims had heen put forward For Easton property as valuable for residence sites and much of this land he had bought at $40 per acre. Thes San ford farm would yield he thought, products of an annual value of $500 to $500. It's rental value was about $40 a month He thought the wa ter power had no commer cial value One reason for this conclusion wag that water power was considered of little or no worth unless it had 100 fGS af1 fear Rad TstasA F<..r<a property had only six or seven miles. With the latter water shed the pova r might be of value ii. it had a fail of not less than 200 feet. The power developed should be sufficient to warrant the building of transporta- cated near the market which was not the case in this instance.
 Marcus H. Burr, a former assessor of Bedding, gave the value of the | Stephen Sanford homestead proper l ty as SIS, 5,000. This was as a whole comprising the. property made a to- tai of $I6,785. TosAGr. Pullman he said he valued the water powers al I $1.000 for the two. The house wa ter supply spring he figured at $1.- coo; the 23 acre tract at $40 per acre; the 40 acre tract at $3,100 and house on 1t at $500; the smaller ten. en1ent house at $260; the five acres Of woodland at $40 per acre. main house, S5.000s horse barn. S150D; smaller buildings of same parcel S400 7 buildings on each side of road including four acres. $1.525: ponds
 $500 for ice purposes; five acre tract bordering on pond $40 per acre; ice l house, $100.

MANY VIEWS 5
 OF VAL LIE OF
 SANFORD LAND

The third session of the committee which will report back te the Su- perior Court what they consider a fair compensation for the land and buildings along the Aspeti1ck river ln Redding which the Bridgeport Fly draulici Go. is to secure by condenn- nation from B. F. Sanford and his mother, was held yesterday in the li- sbrary room of the Meigs building. At the previous hearings the high figure placed on the property was S2s, ,000 named by W A. Smith the Bridgeport builder for ths naild,nEs alone. Then other witnesses called the value Of the entire property which comprises nearly s6 acres. at $24,00O. The low figure for every thing was $10,40o, named by W. -asJ. Nichols Of Bridgeport. MT. Nichols was the first of the water companyss witnesses.
 E. Sanford, recalled, was the first witness this morning, after MT. Smith had made slight correction in his former figures. He said the grist mill was equipped with burr stone in good condition and worth |i$350. He regarded 1t as part of the real estate. Two years ago the grast mill dam was rebuilt and raised and then cleaned. The Aspetuck Game and Fishing club paid $I5o for the Improvements which cost about that
 H. s. Barnes. 8 Bedding selectman. fixed the value of all the property at $23,550.s The main ice house he called $4,675 and the sprolit land bordering on the pond at $50 per Eacre. The pond at $1,500; main house $S, GOO; main barn $1.5o0.
 Harry A. Lounsbury of Rcddings was the opening witness yesterday on behalf of the water company. He said that in the lost nine years he had bought and sold or sold on comInis- l sion, about thirty farms or land tracts. His customers were mostly New York parties and the tracts were mostly on the west side. He had ex- l arnined the Stephen Sanford home stead property. Part of 1t was farm property; another part passaple bum ga1ow sites. Tn his judgment the homestead would not sell well as farm property. It was about six miles from a railroad station, cir l cunstance which rather impaired its value. As to outlook 1t was some l what shut in. In his opinion the l whole property was worth $14,855.
 l. Cross-exarnined the witness said his experience was that some buy CTS wanted hilltop sites and others valley Iocations. The meadow land in the large tract Of the Sanford farm he valued at s60 per acre: the I Wharton house at $500 the 2 3 acres west of the house at s100 per acre
 including the sprinz. house $4.725.

PROPOSES TO SHIFT

LONDON-"We have spent millions to build railroads. why not sxpend capital to control the weather" was the keynote of Sir Oliver Lodge. k Il - v1n lecture before the institute of electrical engineers this evening.
 According to hls theory. the sun discharges on the earth a mixture ot ions charged with positive and Lrsa uye electricity. put the magnetic poles cpaA the positive portion to the polar regions. where they are wasted giv- chimes gets the benefit only of the neg aurora boreales while the warmer chimes ges the benefit only of the neg atice ions.
 He, therefore, advocates shifting the magnetic poles of the earth so as to get a greater share of positive cleo tricity in the upper atmosphere.
 Much could be done." he said "by placing a copper rod around the earth parallel to the equator. which would discharge millions of amperes thus correcting the present climatic vagaries due to the waywardneSs of the magnetic poles.
 Tt would also correct the irrespon- sible action of trees under the action of sunlight which causes the trees to
