The bill providing for the consolida-

A bill providing for increasing number
of pupils, eligible TO attend high schools
in New Castle county without tuition,
passed both houses and was vetoed by
the Governor ON account of the condi

Wonder Of Mechanism.

Half century ago there was not a

means that the balance wheel shall
not vary in its molten to the extent
Of one vibration out of every 10000.
