BIC HYDRAULIC WORK CONTRACT
Is Acres to be Reclaimed State Terminal the Thames Work to Begin About July 1-1000 900 Square Feet to be Filled in With Material Sucked From the Bottom of River. 7

until all the water is out and the cen- tral section is a solid earth fill
 This operation will. it is estimated. consume a little more than two weeks. When the fill is completed its sur face will be covered with solid con- crete, instead of the c ncrete units used in other sections of the pier con- struction. The work of the hydraulic dredge will then be directed to the reclamation project. r
 A pipe line 22 inches in diameter will be laid from the dredge, still To- cated in the slip areas, to the states holdings north of the New Haven rail- load bridge over the Thames, a dis tance of more than half a mile. This pipe line will extend through the cut made by the steam shovels, through the tunnel under the New Haven tracks and thence to the vicinity of the Standard Oil Co.'S former location
 Through this long stretch of pipe tons upon tons of excavated material will be pumped daily, slowly forcing the waters of the Thames back and adding foot by foot to the reclaimed area.
 The hydraulic dredge which is soon to arrive is now completing a contract on the big Commonwealth pier in Bos- ton.

In the next step to be taken in the construction of the big state terminal for steamships in the Thames river at East New London. a tract of about 15 acres will be reclaimed for the use by the state as railway yard, in volving a big amount of hydraulic dredge work to fill in the area of the pier now surrounded by granite wall. It is expected the work will start about July 1st.
 The work will call for the use of one of the largest hydraulic dredges in the country, which will be station ed in the slip areas, from which the excavated material will be pumped This process will result in giving this big tract to the state, as well as mak- ing a solid filled area in the pier con taining 100000 square feet.
 At the present time the central sec ton of the pier 1000 feet in length and 1a0 feet in width. enclosed by granite walls. is filled with water. When the hydraulic dredge begins its work great loads of dredged material will be sucked through a pipe and de- posted in the area to be filled, grad ually displacing the water and forcing it over the sides of the granite walls

Sham Wisdom.

The Sophists were body of teach
ers in ancient Athens during the
fourth and fifth centuries B. c., who
gave instruction in any or all Of the
higher branches of learning. Although
they were not a philosophic sect and
held no doctrines in common, the
Sophists were nevertheless skeptics
and maintained a belief of uncer-
tainty of all particular knowledge
and, in fact, in the impossibility Of all
truth. Their two leading representa-
tives were Protagoras and Gorgias.
The Sophists were charged With
bringing reasoning into contempt by
casting uncertainty over the most
obvious truths and in consequence
were ridiculed and denounced by Arts
tophanes, Socrates and Plato. Arts
totle defined a Sophist as "a man who
makes money by sham wisdom
