The caspian Sea Puzzle.

Should the tideless Caspian sea be really drying mp it is only continuing the process which has been puzzling scientists for the past hundred years
 The great dried up salt lakes to the east. south and north of the Caspian no doubt once formed part of the great lake that remains, and Russia may yet be able to build railway across her inland waterway. But, if inland seas dry up, land elsewhere is sinking un- der them. Where are the ancient ports that Agrippa used? Under the waves of the Mediterran mean No place in tho world seems to have suffered so much from the sinking of the land as the bay of Naples. that paradise of the submarine archaeologist, who is even now making fresh discoveries of buried suburbs and massive blocks of mason ry with the stone rings for mooring the Roman gaIleys. But he has to dive to get at them-London Citizen

Home comforts at Sea.

The circumstances in which one trav- els on the ocean have vastly improved during the past twenty years. Spring mattresses and brass bedsteads have replaced the old wooden hunks. im- proved systems of heating and ventila- ton have been introduced, sanitary ar engagements are greatly superior. both an quantity and in quality, while the furnishings of the public apartments and the attractions of the dining sa- loon vie with those of the finest hotels on shore Thfrd class passengers have now separate cabins for four, six or eight persons each in place of large open 'tween deck spaces filled with tiers of iron beds and accommodating hundreds. In place of benches and ta- bles along the sides of their sleeping quarters separate dining saloons, smoke rooms and music rooms are pro- g1aed.

Chief Juatice John Marshall was not an orator of the ''spellbinder'' type, but after he began practice at the Rich mond CVa.) bar, he was recognized as a convincing speaker. William Wirt
 one Of the great lawyers of the day. though several years younger than Marshall, said of him: .'This extraor- dinary man, without the aid of fancy. without the advantages of person, voice, attitude, gesture or any other or naments of an orator, deserves to be considered as one of the most eloquent men in the world, if eloquence may be said to consist in the power of seizing the attention with an irrepressible force and never permitting it to elude the grasp until the nearer has received the conviction which the speaker 1n- tends g Whether an eloquent advo- cate or not, Marshall must have been rated a great lawyer. for Washington oNered him position in his cabinet as attorney general, which he declined, and President Adams, In 17o@, offered him place on the supreme bench. which was also declined before he was finally fn 1901 appointed chief justice. r-Rhit tadeIpEi1a Press. s',- F -.

VISITING NURSE RESIGNS
Miss Burke VIII Sever Engagement
 Here Nov. l.

Miss Julia Burke, the visiting nurse, who was engaged by the Canaan Visit ing Nurse Association August l, and came on three months trial engage ment, has decided to sever her connec. tion. with the Association at the end of her three months of service, and has accordingly presented her resignation, to take effect November 1.
 The Association held meeting with the president, Rev. l.. E. Travis, at the Methodist parsonage, Monday evening, and after due consideration voted to accept the resignation. The meeting then adjourned until next Monday eve ming, for the discussion of further plains. The Association will at once take steps to secure the services of a successor to Miss Burke, but will prob- ably not, at first make application to the Red Cross Society, preferring to en- gage nurse who is known somewhat in this locality.
 Miss Burke has done good work dur ing her engagement here, and has given excellent satisfaction to the physicians who have called on her. and who speak h ghly of her skill and efficiency.

Wild Deer in Connecticut

One of the best indications of an end of summer weather is the sudden appearance of wild deer in all sections, apple orchards being favorite gather ing place for them says the Hartford Times. John H. Gallup, of Sterling, a farmer, while driving toward the state line Monday was suddenly con- fronted by big buck at the head of a herd of more than twenty, and for several minutes the wild animals refused to allow the team to pass. A few revolver shots in the air chased them away and Gallup escaped.
 Thirty three deer of all sizes and ages were disturbed in Coventry woods by party of fox shooters, one of the hounds being badly gored by huge buck, which refused to give way before the charge of men. ... .. Emil Sorenson, of Warwick, was treed by buck and kept up seventeen house. Along the railroads and trolley lines from half 8 dozen to a dozen and a half are very often run into by early morning cars, and they are so numerous and bold that they take their own time in clearing the way for the cars to pass.
 Farmers who have young trees are contemplating asking the governor to call an extra session of the legislature aud allow couple of weeks of deer shooting as the only way to save their rye fields and young trees.

Knox Knocks,

Some of the editors in the Naugatuck Valley have been or are to be sued by Attorney Klein, of Naugatuck. Which moves the sympathetic Knox, of \the Woobury Reporter to do this:
 "There is noticeable lack of har- mony between B. A. Peck, the veteran editor of the Naugatuck Enterprise,
 and Attorney Clayton l.. Klein of that prosperous borough. 'Ye said Editor has been saying things in his paper that have not had soothing effect on the nerves of said attorney who threatens legal proceedings against ye said editor, and it is said is also after the scalp of the editor of the Waterbury Republican. We sincerely hope that ye said attorney will be aisy with ye said editors and remember what jolly poet of the olden time, we think it was Billy Shakespeare, said about the quality of mercy, as an admiring clientele would greatly regret any action on the part of said Klein which would interfere with the regular appear ance of those entertaining periodicals.

To Suppress "John."

John Barleycorn in prohibition territory gets the weddings, the man with the coward heart to be strength ened, the duil brain tn be dashed, the man with the childish inclination to show his manhood by resistance to authority, the man with the disposi- tion to seek his company. John Bar leycorn in license territory gets the worst and the best; the adventurous man, the man who wants comrade- ship, the man who would, if permitted, shun his acquaintance.
 This is the lesson of Jack London'e life as told on the film, "John Barley corn,' and in the book which is being read in all parts of the country.
 The Illinois Personal Liberty League offered the Bosworth Company, Inc, the sum of $a5, 1000 to suppress the film in six states. It is being witnessed by crowds in many cities.
 We see by the papers that all over the country the liquor men are fighting against the use of this.
 It gets too close to the facts for them. Conn ecticut Citizen.

FED" GILLETTE DEAD
Native of Canaan Dies at Fort Wayne, .a Ind

Ind. .# .
 A telegram received by Canaan re.. tives, Saturday evening, announced thu death the same afternoon of Edwin A. Gillette, at Fort Wayne, Ind. No details concerning his illness were ret eived. He was 63 years of age.
 Deceased was a native of Canaan, son of the late Lawrence Gillette. His boyhood and youth were passed here, and later he was employed on the Housatonic Railroad, beginning as fireman, in which vocation he con tinued until he was eligible to the posi- tion of engineer, and received his papers of promotion. He was disins clined to run on the road, however, and took position in the machine shops of the company, at that time in Falls Village, and remained there until he received a fiattering offer from the Wabash railroad, in 1881, to become engineer, running out of Fort Wayne. He accepted the offer, and ran loco motive for about three years, when he resigned to take position in the rail road shops of the same company, at Fort Wayne, as machinist, which he found more to his taste, and for the past 80 years he had been located there.
 He leaves wife and one son, who is engaged in railroading; also three sisters, Mrs N. pA.2 McNeil, of Lime Rock; Mrs. Charles Day, of Lakeville, and Mrs. Julia Strickland, of New Jersey, and two brothers, Ovid P, of Canaan, and Joseph L., of East Canaan. He was extremely popular with all who knew him; genial. com panionable man, fond of music. and 8 member of the first Falls Village cornet band. During his early life in Ca- naan, he lived with his uncle, the late George $. Gillette, where Dr. Camps residence now stands, and attended the public and private schools, among his teachers being the late Norman Moore, who taught private school in the Town Hall building nearly half century ago.
