 The much talked of Victrola is now in possession of our center school. A number nine, oak finish, has been pur- chased from MT. Bovee in Winsted. The machine is giving very good satis- faction and the children enjoy it im- mensely. Some method should now be used to secure more records. There are about seven records belonging to the school at this time and the funds are about used up.

Seneca's Famous "puck. "

Seneca Strong, whose exploit in breaking through the ice while fishing in the Housatonic river was recently chronicled in The News, has achieved fame by the exploit, as evinced by the following poem and letter received by him from Broken Bow, Nebraska, to which remote country the circulation of The News, of course, extends: Twas on bright, cold winters morn, That Kinney said, As sure's I'm born, I'll hunt up now my hook and line, For the air Is clear and I'm feeling fine,
 And down to the ice-covered river
 I'll walk.
 I'll chop hole in the clear, thick ice And catch some suckers-they're al-
 ways nice,
 To the hotel cook as I take them down, I'll say, just fry them crisp and
 brown. "'
 And thus to himself the fellow did
 talk.
 But what a mistake did Kinney then
 make
 And oh, what dreadful luck, For the ice proved thin and he tumbled
 in
 And caught-not fish, but duck.
 "Now Kinney-Don't do that any more-soaking your feet in the Housa- tonic and rolling up tue water which those poor suckers have to drink Have pity on them, and go to the bath room and soak your feet there. Just think how frightened those poor fish were when they saw your two number eleven articles sink down to the mud. They probably thought they were German submarine gunboats, and swan away to clearer waters and more peaceful streams. "

Mrs. Emma Bentley Merchant passed away Saturday evening, March 6, at her residence on Railroad street in this village. She had been suffering for several months from cancer of the throat. Specialists in New York and Hartford had been consulted with the hope of cure but only temporary re lief was obtained.

Former Canaan Jewe'er Succumbs to

Prof. Pupin alks.

Prof. Michael I. Pupin, of Columbia University, whose summer home is in Norfolk and whose invention of the leading coil has made it possible to telephone from New York to San Fran cisco, believes that the wireless tele- phone will soon be used for sending messages over great distances. The equipment necessary for transconti- mental telephoning by wire costs more than $2, ,000, 900, and consequently the charge made to the public is almost prohibitive-a fact which, Dr. Pupin says, in the New York Times, will hasten the arrival of wireless telephony rather than the extension of the wire service. "One not familiar with the development of wireless electric trans mission in the last few years cannot dream of the strids that have been made, and only one familiar with the developments can appreciate the cer- tainty of wireless telephony as thing of the not far distant future. No one would attempt at present to lay or use a transatlantic wireless telephony, and this does not take into consideration the difference in expense"
