Finding Noise That Least Annoys.

The question of different kinds of
noises from practical point of view,
and with special reference to alto
mobile horns, was considered by Pro-
fessor Marage at recent meeting of
the Academic des Sciences He inves-
tigated the subject by executing pieces
of music upon ancient and modern in
struments, before number of persons
chosen from all professions.
The general result was that high.
pitched sounds produced more disa-
greeable impression than those Of low
pitch, and since it appears that the
grave sounds are more agreeable to
the ear he recommends that such
sounds be used for signals as much as
possible
In fact, the use Of the siren has been
prohibited in many European towns
He thinks that automobiles should
have two kinds of signals, one
grave sound for city use which does
not annoy the passers, and a loud
and shrill sound for use in the coun-
try, which sound will carry to a long
distance.

CANT KEEP PINGREE DOWN

We have it that a good many
farmers around Pingree want to raise
sugar beets this year, and are not
willing to let physical difficulties pre-
vent them. First, there is no beet
dump there, and secondly, lot of
them are cut off from town by the
lack of bridge over the canal. The
sugar company require guaranty of
5000 tons of beets for shipment be-
fore they will put in the dump, and
there is much talk of calling meet
ing right away to assemble all the
farmers who are willing to raise
beets, and sign a joint bond guarantee
ing the required tonnage, for they
feel rather confident of being able to
produce double that amount.
A bridge across the canal at the
north corner of town would save
three miles in distance to town for
many farmers, and would make fine
connections for school purposes and
rural mail routes. We are Informed
that the community has offered to
furnish all the labor to construct the
bridge if the county will furnish the

lnteIIlaence Of the Beaver,

The life history of the beaver dis
closes a succession of episodes in
each of which a reasoning faculty is
employed. Unlike other animals, the
beavers intelligence consists not only
in doing the same things over and
over again, but in the ability to deal
understandingly with novel situations.
Certain of its actions probably arise
from the same instinct that governs
the rest of the lower animals, but the
orderly sequence in which they are
performed leads many to believe that
the beaver shares with man claim TO
reasoning faculties.

Casters Date Depends on the Moon.
1t is well known that Easter Sunday
seldom, if ever, falls upon the same
day Of the month two years in sue
cession. Indeed. it does not always
appear in the same month, for, while
1t usually comes in March, this year
it comes in April. This variation is
traceable to the phases of the moon
Easter Sunday Is always the first Sun
day after the first full moon of spring.
AS spring begins on March 81, this
means that Easter Sunday never comes
earlier than March 81 Or later than
April %.

BAIL JUMPER FINED
 HEAVILY IN COURT
Woman Who FOrfeitS Bond Made
 Happy by Its Return

Alexander Belammazza. who was arrested over week ago and who jumped his bond and was re-arrested yesterday, was in court this morn- ing and was fined $10 and costs for drunkenness and $35 and costs for a breach of the peace which included hurling stones through the plato glass windows and mirrors at Augus- tyn Morris Main street saloon. Bel ammazza pleaded guilty
 Morris testified to the trouble a week ago yesterday. He said Belam- mazza spilled a glass of beer on one man, punched another in the jaw and tried to beat third man over the head with a billiard cue before he was ejected. Then it was that he threw three big stones through the glass. When his case was called in court last week Alexander failed to respond and his bond of $100 was de- clared forfeited.
 Forfeited Bond Returned.
 Yesterday Mary Ostrofski, who furnished the bond and who said it was all the money she had in the world, told the police that Alexander was back and she wanted him ar rested Officers Wagner and T. John son did the job. Belammazza said he did not really try to cheat the court. He said he went temporarily insane and for several days wandered from one place to another, knowing not where he went or why. When he learned that Mary would lose her s100 however, he repented and re- turned home.
 Judge James T. Meskill felt sorry for the poor woman and ordered the clerk of the court to erase the for faiture and permit her to get back her 100. She was much pleased and

AFTER YOU ARE FORTY

Forty Is tho ago of greatest effort with most people. Vitality is used up at the most rapid pace. Tho struggle to secure a competence for old age produces nerve strain, the failure to succeed causes worry, nervous breakdown, neurasthenias
 Middle-aged people find that they cam not run as fast, nor are they as agile as in youth. The internal organs also feel the effect of age. The digestion resenis things that it accepted before, the heart palpitates on slight exertion, the muscles of the back ache after a days work. Your blood is thinner and not so bright a red as formerly.
 When these things occur, whether y6u are fourteen or forty, you need tonic. Dr. Williams Pink Pills suit most peo- ple's need because they arenon. alcoholic and they really build up the blood and strengthen the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are useful for growing children and for men and women whose nervous energy has been overdrawn.

 NEW BRITAIN MAN
Late Head of Travellers Insurance
 Company Studied Law Here

Sylvester Clark Durham, since 1901 president of the Travellers Insurance company of Hartford and we'll known in this city, where he made his home for some time, died yesterday after noon at 8 o'clock of pneumonia. He was 69 years of age and had been with the Travellers for thirty years.
 MT. Durham was born in Mansfield, Holland county, on April A, 1S46. He was the son. of Johnathan Lyman Dunham and Abigail Hunt Dunham. His ancestors were among the fH- grimst who came over on the May flower and settled Plymouth Tn 1ozo and on his fathers side his ancestry could be traced baels to the beginning of the use of surnames in England Mr. Dunham was brought up in the country, a strong, robust farmer lad. At the age of Il years he moved with his parents to Portage county, Ohio and subsequently attended Mount Union college at Alliance, Ohio, for about year, leaving when his fanny returned east.
 Made Home in This City.
 In 1865 Mr. Dunham came back to Connecticut and two years later was graduated from the New Britain State Normal school, standing at the head ot his class. He then entered the law offices of Mitchell & HungeTford and while studying law he was also em- ployed by the New Britain Record, where he was made editor. While he was a law student in this city he was appointed clerk of the city and police courts. holding that office for three years. In 1871 he was admitted to the bar and entered the office of the late Henry c. Robinson of Hartford. Tn 1882 he was made city attorney of Hartford. In 1883 he returned to New Britain as secretary of the Cor l bin companies and so developed his | interests in that concern that later he 1 became a director of the American 1 Hardware corporation.
 I MT. Durham is survived by his wife l and one son, Donald A., assistant 1 secretary of the Travellers.
 c. F. Smiths Tribute l By the prominent men of this city, ceived with deep sorrow Charles F. Smith, first vice president of the American Hardware corporation paid his memory the following tribute: ITO his friends, loyal and steadfast: to his opponents, firm, courteous and l tolerant-by every one esteemed; patient, kindly and wise in counsel. with something in his cool, judicial way of putting things that made one think how clear were the fountains where he renewed his spirit, how firm were the foundations on which he rested-this was Sylvester c. Dun ham.
 "He carried a great load of re- sponsibility, modestly and faithfully Tot faltering though his strength was failing; a brave, honest gentleman" ;"
 A. J. Sloper's Too.
 President Andrew J. Sloper of the First National Bank, a personal friend of MT. Durham, also paid him a heartfelt tribute and in speaking 1 of him in reminiscent vein recalled 1 his coming to this city from the west and entering the junior class at the i Normal school, intending to fit him. ! self to be a teacher MT.
