Rinss on oyeter Shells.

A popular theory about rings on an oyster shell being an indication of it's age is not supported by the careful in vestigation of Miss Ann L. Massy, who tested specimens from the oyster sta tion at Ardfry, at the head of Galway bay. It has been supposed by many that each ring, or group, on the oysters deep valve seood for years growth. But Miss Massy says that this deduc- ton is not reliable. After a patient scrutiny of over 600 samples of various ages, from eighteen months to six years, she says: 'tAn oyster of eight cen months or two summers appears to possess at least two rings, but may have as many as five. One of three summers has at least two rings and may have six. A four-year-old oyster may have only three rings or may pos sess seven or etght-''-London Mail.

Husband of Woman
 Who Shot at Former
 Boarder Renews Fight

Engaging in heated argument in front of police headquarters after city court had adjourned this morning, the husband of Mrs. Juliet Emeldiuda of 114 Highland avenue and Angelo Gar dfnf nearly staged another episode of the quarrel that has been existing be- tween them for some time and which was brought to crisis yesterday af- ternoon when Mrs. Emeldiuda shot at Gardini in an alleged attempt to kill him. Detective Sergeant Hall and Doorman Campana separated them and sent them away.
 She is charged with assault with as sault with intent to kill and in the city court this morning Judge Wilder der bonds of $500.
 According to the story told by the husband and wife, Gardini, formerly boarded with them but because of
 trouble that he caused was elected from the house. He is at present liv- to circulate malicious stories about
 Mrs. Bmeldfuda- Complaints of his
 actions have been made to Prosecut-
 ing Attorney Delaney and twice he
 has gbeen warned to desist in his work
 Yesterday further reports of Gar dinis stories reached Mrs. Emeldiuda oAAA tdkAAuS d. T0VOIV0T Sn0 went 10 the building at Barnum avenue and
 Elizabeth street where Gardini was working and asked for him. When he came from the second sctory she l said something to him and taking the revolver from her coat pocket she tired one shot Workmen overDow- l cred her before she could use the 1 weapon further but stated that had she been so inclined she could have
 morta1ly wounded Gardini. They say l that the shot was fired more to scare | Gard1m than for any other purpose. 1 The story that has been circulated l that the husband and wife were sen. l arated are untrue according to Mir l Emeld1uda, who states that tFev re- l side at the Highland avenue address with their four children Gardini did not break up their home by winnins
 Mrs- Emeld1uda's affections but in. stead circulated 1ibe1ous stories abou- her.

CIRCUS PARADE
 IS AMERICA'S
 OWN PACEANTRY
Royalty of Europe Sup planted By Grandeur of
 Big Shows Spectacles.

Without question the most popular form of pageantry with the masses of the people is the circus parade. It
 may be called rightfuIly the pagean-
 tric institution of this country. In
 other countries, particularly in mon archies, there is always the pagean- try supplied by the coming and going
 of royalty and the passing of the in numerab ble and gOrgeously uniformed
 regiments of soldiers, who make up
 the great standing armies of those
 countries. In this our own beloved
 and isolated land, vast as it's expanse,
 there is of course no royalty and there
 are comparatively so few soldiers that
 they are almost an unseen quantity in
 the majority oc the cities and towns in
 the United States, so, the people of the
 country have come to look upon the
 circus as the one thing that may be
 depended upon to supply attractive
 street display.
 The parade given by Barnum &
 BaiIey's Greatest Show Earth,
 which comes to Bridgeport next Fri day. is as a matter of course the larg- est of circus parades, and not only is it the largest, but it is the richest, most costly and most gorgeous. It may not be known generally that this parade contains the most massive, the most expensive and the most artistic wood carving extant in the United States. Four of the tab1eau cars represent the four corner allegorica1 groups that surround the Royal AL bert Memorial. the finest example of statuary to be found in Great, Brit ain, which was erected by the1 ate Queen Victoria in memory of her late Prince Consort Albert. These groups | represent Europe, Asia, Africa and America.
 That great creative genius of the | circus world, James A. Bailey, sent Cox, who for years has been the | ca, over to London to copy these
 sent of the late King Edward and
 after making his models in clay, Cox 1 returned to New York where he cary l ed the groups out of solid wood. Af- ter being carved they were heavily l plated with gold leaf. There are also 1 several other specimens of the work | of Cox in the parade notably a. tableaU car representing the United States and 1 bearing the seals of the several states
 carved by Cox; also an Assyrian car 1 covered with the antique statuary of | that first of all civilized countries, and | there is also another car represent | ing Egypt, whose most distinctive fea- ] ture is a row of ivory tusks.
 Of course, in addition to these there
 is the great array of golden chariots,
 animal dens, the marching herds of
 elephants and other beasts, numerous lon horseback, and then the great as- l semblage of superb draught horses making at once the finest horse show 1 to be seen anywhere in America, and all this is free to anyone who cares to 1 look upon it.

in this respect and will endeavor to make the announcement so strong that he cannot afford to oppose any man that may be placed in nOmina- tion,'' said Senator Shoot, who is in close touch with what is being done toward framing the platform.
 we shall declare for a navy that will be a real protection, both in size and efficiency and up to the latest re- quirements and for such other mili- tary measures as will meet the de- nands of all emergenCies.''
 Here and there opposition to ex- tensive armament is encountered. The Roosevelt idea on preparedness it is thought, will prevail. The com mittee also will go far toward meet ing MT. Roosevelt's views on the question of national distin nctiveness and there will be strong declara ton for America nism first, last and all the time, at all times and at home and abroad. There will be no condemna- tion of the so-ca1led hyphenated American in exact terms "but," as member of the committee said, 'it will be possible to read that language into the document"

Platform of C.. O. P. Will Seek To Gain
 Roosevelt's Favor

With the members of the commit tee on resolutions all selected by their delegations, it is becoming evident that the work of the committee as a whole will be one of elimination rather than of construction. Almost every man on the committee is loaded with blanks of his own making and many in addition have taken the care of extra declarations for outside friends who feel inspired to outline the policy of the party for the next four years.
 If there is one general purpose bet ter defined than any other on the part of the leading members of the committee it is to give the party de- clarations such a tone that will meet the demands of Colonel Roosevelt and his followers and to this end they have made close study of the Co1onePs recent utterances along the lines of preparedness.
 We shall meet the Coloners wishes

Radical Bull Moosers
 Rolled ill Attempt To
 Bring Convention Row
(Contfnued from Page 1)

When the delegates were asked to take their seats they did so quickly. Reports that there might be an i'm sistent demand for an imme ediate nom- ination of Col. Roosevelt as notice to the Republicans that they could not be ignored, were discouraged by a statement issued by George w. Per- kins, chief spokesman for the party who declared that the Progressivea were meeting in a conci1iatory spirit and would not act precipitately while the possibility of agreement with the Republicans remained.
 Everyone should keep it constantly in mind," he said, "that the Progress lat the same time as the Republican convention as a threat
 The iProgressives feel that the first peace move ought to come from the Republicans but Mr. Perkins thought it possible that the Progressives would take the initiative in efforts for peace.
 Roosevelt will be kept in close touch with the developments at the Progressive convention by long dis tance telephone but the Oyster Bay wire will not be strung directly to the convention.
 Like huge snowfakes fecked over the auditorium, were pinned copies of Teddy songs to be sung by the del egates. A quartet singing Teddy songs from the balcony kept the crowd cheering.

Iifa of an Aro4io saaIar.

The arctic sealer has a very hard life. Sealing does not consist only of scrambling over ice fields in search of prey and battling breathlessly and hercely when it is found There are many incidental hardships to endure
 The usual type of arctic weather is a dense, lung clogging fog, with cold that is enough to freeze a glowing furnace. This fog, strange as 1t may seem, is oftentimes mixed with cruel blizzards of heavy snow, made more terrible by high and constant gales.
 The passing of the snow is usually accompanied by sleet and rain that are more penetrating than snow. Misery, therefore, is not an unfamiliar visitor to the crews of arctic sealers.-Detroit Free Press.

Known by Their Walk.

A mans walk is as peculiar to him self as his personal appearance is.
 So much part of himself Is a mans way of walking, indeed, that it is most difficult to disguise. Many a fugitive from justice who has completely alter ed his ordinary appearance has been betrayed by his walk.
 The peculiar gait of many people often indicates their occupation. The policeman, the soldier and the sailor each has his peculiar walk which be- trays him.-Pearson's.
