WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in cx- changes that come to Herald
 office.
TailOrs Will Have to Have It.
Scientific American.)

When your measure is taken by tailor he lays his tape about your chest, your waist, along your arms and your legs, in accordance with system Which tradition has laid down However carefully he takes his meas urements, the clothes must be tried on at least once, and even several times, if you are a very particular man. It would be more convenient if you could leave yourself, as it were, at your tailor's and proceed about your business, knowing that when your clothes are delivered they will surely fit you.
 This paradoxical achievement is the fundam ental idea of a German in vention which has been introduced in America by well-known New York tailor. The German inventor has actually devised a means of creating your artificial double, which your tailor uses exactly as if he had your own person to drape.
 First of all you slip on a cheese cloth or linen coat, whereupon your tailor proceeds to wrap gummed paper over you with a special con- trivance. He wraps the paper around your waist, passes it around your shoulder and sees to it that the edges overlap. When every part of your trunk is incased in wrappings, like an Egyptian mummy, the first stage in the preparation of your artificial double has been completed. The wrappings dry very quickly, and be- come hard and impervious to air. When they have reached. that con- dition the wrappings are slit up the back. A cast of your trunk has been obtained, as it were, which is peeled off like an orange skin. The wrappings are then placed upon an inf1atable rubber bag of the proper shape and fastened in place. Next the rubber bag is blown up, and the wrappings are filled out and assume the exact shape of your trunk. Your artificial tailor's double has been created.
 Once your measure has been taken in this novel way, you may cable your order for suit of clothes from Kamchatka with the certainty that when they reach you they will fit you as if you had tried them on.
 The device with which the wrap pings are applied is very simple. A reel of special paper passes under a guide roller past a wet sponge and over a serrated guiding edge. The reels, the guide roller and the ser rated edge are held together by a casing which is hinged on one side, so that all the members can be taken apart.

than to see a man in overalls and Jumper digging in the garden with his children about him and his neighbor hanging over the fence asking him what he is going to plant this year !? We say nothing. .@.
 It was only a year or two ago that people were arrested in Hartford for repairing their fences (not political fences) on Sunday, and their cases were dismissed in court, but while there have been several attempts made to obtain some modification of the old blue laws there hasn't been much progress made, about the only concession being permitting the play ing of baseball in public parks on Sunday. This of course is something and may be step towards obtaining further concession from the next legislature. The question has been agitated for several years and there is some evidence of conversion. The sentiment is in favor of change, but somehow those who believe it are not the people who get elected to the legislature.

AGAINST SECRET SESSIONS.

Nine members of the United States (essions unless the business under Consideration has some relation with |oreign matters The announcement (.as made yesterday by Senator La Toilette after the nomination of Win lhrop M Daniels for interstate com (nerce commission.
 There, is a great deal of f1apdoodle kbout senatorial dignity for in nearly bll cases of secret sessions the bus hess is afterwards made public and [his has been the cause of much sus bicion and unfriendly criticism of Eenators as to who "leaked.' It used Ec be said that each of the big dailies Represented in Washington had one Eenator at least on whom it could re- |y for a report of the doings of the |ncm bers, however, was not always of he right persons. It used to be said that the late David B. Hill was in- elined to talk about these matters on the outside, but those who knew him Intimately denied it while he. as in
 other matters, refused to comment Epon the accusations at all Some body, however, does it and the secret scssions are really not secret at all
 hnd it is just as we'll that they are
 bot.
 The foreign relations committee tmay have some business in the sen-
 Rte which should be kept there, but There are number of other matters which should be discussed in public, thereby avoiding criticism and to keep the statement in the straight and
 harrow path. There is nothing in bur public life that is so prolific of Corruption as secrecy in the. trans
 hction of public business. The light |of day is necessary to insure the best |service and the senate will not injure Itself a particle by changing it's rules land making it's business public.
