Arabs Used Color of
Blue to Drive Away
i Pestiferious Flies

The Arabs have long known that
flies fear or hate the color blue, and
that is why the houses in many Of
their towns are kalsomined in light
blue tint.
Before the French Academy OF
Science recently Messrs. Galaine and
Houlbeert 4 described the results of
their observations on the eyesight of
flies. The only light that these in
sects see really well is white; their
eyes do not see violet and indigo at
all; the vibrations of the blue and
green rays are disagreeable to them,
and red has the effect Of darkness
Yellow alone OF all the colored rays
is tolerated as we'll as white.
The solar spectrum as seen by the
eyes of fly begins at green and ends
at bright orange. The practical con-
clusion to be drawn from this is that
when a room has blue window panes
the flies therein become as inactive
as If it were dark.
If slat of a blind be opened. to let
in ray of white light the flies will
rush toward it and go out through
the blind.
In Japan they hang curtains made
Of beads Of blue glass mixed with
tubes of painted bamboo /at the en-
frances to butchers and pastry cooks
shops.

Washington, Jan. 30.-A very severe
earthquake, the tremors of which con-
tinued more than three hours, oc-
CURED during last night, centered
about 5000 miles from Washington.
So severe were the shocks when they
reached their maximum intensity that
the recording needles of two of the
four seismographs at Georgetown uni
versity observatory were thrown off
the scales. These maximum shocks
were recorded on the vertical seismo-
graphs at 1925 and 1926 o'clock last
night. The tremors did not die away
until 1858 o'clock this morning. The
first shocks were recorded on the in
struments at 9:47 p. M, Eastern time.
An earthquake of some intensity
had been reported by Director Condor
Of the observatory. He explained to-
day that January had been sfngularly
quiet with only two earthquakes re-
ported, that in northern New York
and Quebec, and the very disastrous
one on the island Of Bali in the East
Indies January is one Of the months
of the season of maximum intensity Of

ROSEDALE DISABLED.

The steamer Rosedale was stopped
by an accident, while off Penf1eld reef
about o'clock this morning on her
trip downward, that necessitated her
returning to this city. An examina-
ton showed that her port shaft had
broken. The break was clean one
and was due no doubt to a. flaw in the
steel. The shaft was not new one
having been in use by the company
for over twelve years. It was made
by The Bridgeport Forge Company
and had been in use a much longer
period than the average. - Ut weighed
seven and one-half tons. The sea
was calm and the boat was running
at her usual rate when the break oc-
CURED. There were about sixty pas
sengers on board and less freight than
usual. A few minutes after the &C
cident the oyster tugs Florence"
and Virginia" were signalled and
were soon alongside. 1t will be two
weeks before new shaft can be
made and placed in position. The.
accident coming at this time is un-
fortunate as the company is without
an extra boat to take the steamers
place. The approximate amount of
the damage including, placing a new
shaft in position is $1,000.

WATERBURY TAKES

IN M'KINLEY ASS0.
ROraback Men Left Out at
Election Following Testi-
monial Banquet.

Leaders Of the Republican party for
"up state" were conspicuous by their
absence at the annual dinner of the
Mckinley Association of Connecticut
held here last night. What is usually
the biggest Republican pow WOW held
in the state during the year, was
turned into a frost and not even the
strenuous efforts of those in charge
to change the gathering into mutual
admiration society,", could thaw II.
Even the platform on which the
speakers table was located collapsed
soon after the dinner began. John T.
King, Prof. Hiram Binham of Yale
and Mayor Wilson were thrown into
a heap Of debris made by broken ia
bles, dishes, etc., but they. were res
cued uninjured.
Waterbury walked off with the din
ner for next year. All the officers
chosen are from that city and the
Roraback men were ignored in the
selections. William J. Larkin, ST.,
who is active in the Chase interests
there, was named president; William
H. Sandland, former city clerk, sec
rotary; and Abner P. Hayes, treas
urer.
Notwithstanding the statement Of
City Clerk Robinson yesterday that J..
Henry Roraback, chairman of the
Republican State Central committee,
would positively be at the dinner, he
setn his regrets His excuse was
that his 18-year-old son is i'll with the
grip. Gov. Holcomb, u. s. Senators
Brandegee and Mclean, Henry H.
Lyman, president pro tenn. of the
Senate, Frank z. Healy, speaker of
the House, and all the Connecticut
congressman sent regrets
John T. King, who was POSTMASTER,
declared Fairfield county Republicans
are proud and boastfnl that it was
their efforts that saved the state for
the Republican party. He declared
that unless the program of legislation
which the county Republicans en-
dorsed at their meeting here last week
is adopted, the Republican party will
go out Of business in this state He
predicted chaos and revolution unless
the Republican party sees the devel-
opment of the times and profits there
by.

BETTER MILK
NOW PRODUCED
IN CONNECTICUT
Dairy Commissioner Says 1t
Can Be Brought to a
Higher Standard

The report of the dairy. and food
commissioner, which has just been
submitted to the governor, discusses
milk production, meat inspection and
food and drug control in the state,
and. in conclusion Commissioner
Frank H. Stadtmueller recommends
the addition of one inspector, the pas
sage of an act requiring the labelling
Of all subdivisions or lots of foods to
conform to the statements required
upon the original packages, the Ii
censing of dealers of oleomargarine
and renovated butter, the passage Of
a meat inspection law and the annual
registration Of all milk producers and
dealers.
! Regarding milk productions the
commissioner says:
1.-The magnitude of the milk indus
try, the large volume of daily produc-
ton and consumption, and it's suscep-
tibility to contamination and de-
terioration makes this the most i'm
portant feature of all food control
work of the state. In order that
there be no misunderstanding, let it
be understood that the average quail
ity of milk produced throughout Con-
necticut has improved vastly during
the past decade That it can be
brought to higher standard is also
true. The work confronting the de-
partment consists therefore not only
Of maintaining the present standard,
but also of raising it, particularly in
so far as this may be Influenced by
stable and dairy Inspections"
The commissioner gives histori-
cal review of some Of the phases Of
the milk problem for twenty-five
years.
AS to food and drug control, the
commissioner says: 'The results OF
the work of this department for the
last two years justify the statement
that the quality of the foods and
drugs supplied in the state have been
with minor exceptions, Of standard
quality. But $50 of the samples ia
ken constituted technical or fraudu-
lent violations of the food and drug
laws, upon which 1853 prosecutions
were based and referred, as provided
by statute, to local prosecutors for
attention in towns in which the Of
lenses were committed"
The commissioner says that the
largest percentage of fraudulent sales
Of any one food product occurred with
butter The ninety-nine cases of
adulterated butter consisted of the sale
of renovated butter or oleomargarine
as butter. In these instances the
question of healthfulness was not rails
ed, 'tbut,' says the commissioner,
..there should be little difference of
opinion regarding the right or rea-
sonab1eness of purchasers to be serv-
ed with that which they desire in
stead of having substitute therefor
palmed off on them"
