Pile Driver For New Grand Street Bridge
 Arrives in This City

When work is begun on the new East Washington avenue bridge the old bridge will be closed to travel un- til the new one is completed. Whether or not the work will be delayed until the Grand Street bridge is built, has not been decided. The bridge com mission has learned that in its pres ent condition there is little traffic over the East Washington avenue bridge and that traffic might, without seri- ously discommoding anyone, be df- rected over the Congress street bridge while the new bridge is building.
 The pile driver of Edward Devoe Tompkins, Inc, of. New York, whose engineers will build both bridges, ar rived in the city yesterday. Test piles 90 feet in length will be driven first to find bed rock and make sure of the depth before the construction is be- gun.
 It has been estimated that it will cost $S0, GOO to keep the old East Wash ington Avenue bridge open while the new bridge is being built and the com nissioners have decided this will be too costly.

Hattie K. Seward
 To Get Cash From
 Moorie Beth Estate

If there is still among the assets of the defunct banking firm of Burr & Knapp $1,500 which Morrie B. Beth had on deposit there it will go to Hattie K. Seward. Morrie D. Beth died several years ago without a will leaving cash deposit at the Burr 6 Knapp bank. AS the close friends of the deceased, both Hattie K. Sew ard and Mrs. Mary Ernmons claimed the money. A hearing was first held before the late Judge Edward F. Hallen. Hearings have been before Judge Paul I. Miller and at the last session of the general assembly by special act it was decided that if no blood relations appeared to claim the estate by January 31 this year the cash should go to Mrs. Seward. Judge Miller has made this award and Mrs. Seward is taking legal steps to pro- cure the estate.

A Stranoe Toaat

There used to be a curious toast which one of the Scottish regiments quartered at Edinburgh castle in the early years of last century was accus- toned to drink at mess. The toast was, "A clean sword and a dirty Bi- ble." If the sword had to be drawn it must only be in the cause of honor, for the protection of the weak, for the defense of the helpless. The dirty Bi- ble meant a Bible whose leaves were thumbed and frayed with constant use
 The second condition secures the first, for the Bible is the foundation of chivalry and honor and the only eff fectual and enduring antidote to strife between man and man. = London Standard.

Change In Street Grade Damaged Land,
 Declares Jennings

Alleging that his Fairfield avenue property had been damaged to the extent of $5.O00 by the change in street grade, Nehemiah Jennings ap- peared before Judge Webb in the su- perior court this morning to testify in his suit against the city of Bridge port. The Jennings property fronts on Fairfield avenue but extends in the rear to Ash Creek.
 W. H. Palmer, a civil engineer, tes- tifed that it would require 4,0OO yards of dirt at a cost of 75 or 80 cents a yard, to fill in the frontage. E. c. Spargo, called by City Attorney W. H. Corn1ey, IT,, said he thought the fll- ing could be done at a cost of about $500 if enough time were allowed so that 1t would not be necessary to buy all the dirt at once. Attorneys Gull linan & Cu1Hnan represented Jennings. The court reserved decision.

Hot Water and a Glass.

Why does a glass break when hot water is put, into it and does not break when it is put into hot water? The hot water inside the glass makes the layers on the inside tend to expand. But they cannot expand, being held fast by the colder outer. layers, so they buckle on themselves and the glass breaks.
 When, however, we dip the glass into boiling water it is the outer layers that tend to expand. They have room to do it, not being compressed by the in- ner layers, and they gradually drag these inner layers with them as the heat spreads to the latter. So there is nothing to make the glass break.
