large numbers have promptly attained

commissions.
Substitute teachers have mostly been

profession upon marriage and have
now returned to I'LL what are called

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Disgusting and RepuIsive,

Mr.. Editor: 1t seems very strange
that city proud enough of itself to
be called The Rose of New England
VIII allow such sights on its main and
residential streets as the carting of
dead horses uncovered. The sight is
disgusting and repulsive, to say the
least. The authorities ought to see
that they are covered before taking
them through our streets, as was done
sunday morning, just as people were
on their way to church.
The public spirited ladies of Norwich
who worked so nobly for the auto
ambulance ought to try again for a
police patrol: as the dragging of
drunken prisoners along the sidewalk
Is on q par with the dead horse-both

AN EXCELLENT CHOICE.

No announcement of greater recog-
nized Importance has been made by
the navy department than the state
ment to the effect that Thomas A. Ed
ison has accepted the Craftsmanship
of the advisory board OF the proposed
bureau of invention and development
for the navy. 1t showed the selection
Of and the acceptance by the best mar
in the country for such a position and

der Graham Bell, Simon Lake, r. A

dering valuable service to the country
board OF the highest qualification
will have been obtained.
The kind of service which viii b.
rendered by this board has undergon,
more or less neglect in the past. Tit
government is constantly being Offered
new inventions but because of the lael
OF system and the haphazard method
which has been used In dealing with
such manya have failed to receive the
thoughtful attention which was due
both on the merits Of the idea and fol
the interests of the country. Frequent
are the claims where new inventions
have been offered to this government
and refused only to have them
eagerly seized by other countries and
results in full proportion to the claims
secured.
That more attention is to be giver
to such matters by this government Is
gratifying and when it comes
to seeing the good points and possi-
bi1ities Of inventions and chances fol
development none is held in higher es-
ttmation than Mr.. Edison and none
can be expected to produce greater
results as the head of the board.

A New Translation Of the Bible, and q

Fifty-five hundred school teachers

Distances Artillery Fire Can 3. Heard


Interesting light on the question
how far heavy artillery IRE can be
heard is given by DR.. Doerr. a German
scientist, writing in the 'tMeterologische
Zeitschrift" From observations made
at the Dutch Meteorological institute,
and from other sources of information,
this writer shows that the German
heavy mortArs used in the attack upon
Antwerp were heard TO q distance OF
13e to 142 miles. but that at distances
Of only 40 to 50 miles nothing was
heard. The zone Of silence extend
ed to about 100 to log miles. Where
the detonations could again begin TO
be heard, however they were described
as especially violent, so much SO that
the ground seemed 70 tremble
The existence Of such a zone Of
silence" appears not to have been
scientifically demonstrated previous to
the present war. 1t is mentioned, for
example, that in the wars Of 1856 and
1870 German commanders on several
occasions received instructions to
march 10 any point where they might
render the expected assistance, and
their explanations were discredited
when they reported that they had
heard nothing, although the guns had
been heard by other troops at still
more distant points. When Frederick
the Great defeated the Austrians near
Liegnftz in 1850 the main body of the
Austrians failed to hear the artillery
fire there and did not come to the as
sistance OF their comrades, whereas
other Austrian troops much farther
removed heard ii and began their
march toward the scene of action.

The report was brought to Valdez yesterday by a returning miner, who is confident that Kraem- CT will have a big cleanup this fall.
 Eraemer has always expected to find big pay under the slide but it has been a difficult matter to uncov- CT the pay and clear away the oyer burden. It was his plan to tunnel into the slide and take out the pay dirt leaving the waste to remain. This he has evidently succeeded in doing and in consequence will re turn this fall with a big poke.
