A Poet Who Dreaded Fire,

Thomas Gray, author Of the 'Elegy,"
had weakness in the form of a nerv-
GUS dread Of fire. His chamber at st.
Peters college, Cambridge, being on
the second floor, he thought it, likely
that in case of fire his exit by the
stairs might be cut off. He therefore
caused an iron bar to be fixed by arms
projecting from the outside of his win
dow, designing by a rope attached
thereto to descend in the event of a
fire occurring. This excessive caution
led to practical joke by his fellows.
One midnight a party Of students
Numbered at his door with loud cries
Of Fire, fire" The nervous poet flew
to his window and slid down the rope
to the ground, where he was hailed
with shouts Of laughter. Gray's deli
cate nature was so shocked by this
rough joke that he changed his lodg-
ingS.

Carnarvon castle is the most splen-
did specimen of medieval military
architecture surviving in Britain, not
excepting Alnwick. Art and beauty
were combined with strength by De
Elfreton, the architect, who had been
commanded to construct a palace
within an impregnable fortress.
Whether the mean little passage cham
Der in the Eagle tower was the BIRTH
place of the infant prince whom Ed
ward I. made the medium of such a
grim practical joke upon the Welsh
seems doubtful, but the main story
may still be true. Every famous SOL
der who helped to make history in
this corner of Britain has played some
part within or without the walls of
Carnarvon castle. 1t has been starved
into surrender, but never captured by
force of arms and can therefore claim
to be considered virgin fortress."-

Will Vote to Keep the Tar

AGREEMENT ON
BILL is REACHED
Present Duty of One Cent a
Pound Is to Con-
tinue

Washington, April chairman Sim.
mons of the Senate finance committee
yesterday moved that the Senate recede
from its amendment TO the House free
sugar bill. He obtained unanimous con-
sent that the Senate consider his motion
beginning ut p. IN. Saturday, and vote
on it at 5 p. nj. that day.
This action followed the decision OF
the Senate Democrats, in conference, to
enact into law the House bill repeating
the provision in the Underwood Simmons
tariff law which would have placed sugar
on the free list May /, 1915.
BY about to !, the soma tors voted to
abandon the bill adopted by the Senate
as a substitute for the House bill The
substitute provided that the present
duty of one cent pound on sugar should
be continued until 1920 The result OF
this new action viii be to continue the
existing duty indefinitely.
Senate leaders had insisted upon sugar
going in the free list by 1920 at least
on the ground that the Democratic pol
icy was against tax on a necessity OF
life. They were won over to the House
position by the arguments that revenue

was presented and that Mr.. Olney
strongly objected to the Rainey measure
because it gave the commission no pow
ers of recommendation Secretary Hous.
ton has asked Mr.. Olnev to confer with

Connecticut Is Said To Be Well Sup.

piled.
In the large stream valleys of Con-
necticut there are deposits of coarse sedi-
mcnts that will yield sufficient water for
city and village supplies, and at other
places in the state there are less extern
sive deposits that will yield enough wa
ter for smaller villages nearby. The
largest cities probably cannot be ade-
quately supplied by ground water, but
many communities that require water in
moderate quantities could obtain il eco
nomieally from this source, which would
also supplement the water supplies of
the large cities. The use of wells for
public supplies is illustrated by the
plants at Brooklyn. y. Y, Brookline,
Mass. and Plainfield. n. J.
In view of the rapid growth Of many
Of the cities in the state and the extern
siye regions it is distinctly encouraging
to find these statements in the latest of
a series OF United States Geological Sur
vey reports on the water resources Of
Connecticut.
The surveys report states that water
from these deposits can probably be
most economically utilized by means of
driven wells having perforated iron cas-
ings six or eight inches in diameter. A
project involving the use Of driven wells
differs from one employing drilled rock
