After the call was read 1t was voted to extend courtesy to those of the legal profession present. Charles J.

 of erecting 9 new building on the old site, which is on low ground and not large enough, bargained for the purchase of the Sparks place and commenced converting the old dweUs ing into a schoolhOuse, which, accord ing to the opinion of the town school board as expressed by c. H. Savage, was a good move. as it would furnish larger and better schoolroom than the old one and more spacious play grounds. C. A. Wheeler was on hand with fiugres to su'bstantiate that claim Messrs. Mason, Bliss, Butler Smith, Emo, Kirby, Chapin and others took part in the debate.
 The 'selectmer were represented by the town counsel, w. A. King, the Mason faction by P. J. Danahey, and the school board by T. J. Kelley, all from Wiuimantic, and there was noth- ing the matter with their oraoricaI eff forts If those present who seemed well content to sit on those old plank benches. were detained half as long in we'll cushioned pews in @ church, it would have been an a,buse ineXcusa b1e. The vote was finally pa ssed to sane tion what the selectmen had already done in the matter purchase the Sparks farm (which has % odd acres, probably at a price not exceeding $1,000, and after reserving what is deemed advisable for school purposes, to sell the remainder at a price not less than $500. Voted to adjourn. We breathe again!

Testina steePs Hardness.

Machines and devices for testing the materials that go into automobiles are being constantly developed and improved. A notable advance is the new Brineu steel testing machine.
 In testing a piece of steel it is placed in the machine and a small steel ball of great hardness is pressed into the piece to be tested. By the pressure exorted, which is indicated on a guage and by the dimensions of the impress sion made on the piece, the operator IS able to make comparison with certain standard figures and arrive at the eX- act hardness of the steel tested.
 This method of testing steel has largely superseded the old method whereby small steel balls were drop ped on the test piece and the steel.
