important Scientific Discovery.

The use of water holding fine sand in suspension is novel plan for sepa- rating materials of different specific gravity. \ chemical solution of a den- sity somewhat greater than that of the lighter material has served in the laboratory, but this has been commer- cially unsatisfactory on account Of the cost of the chemicals and the difficulty of removing them from the substances separated. The mechanical mixture containing sand held up in water by agitation has been found to take the place of the true solution of the same density. It is stated that with quartz sand and water, coal may be freed from its ordinary impurities. and mag netic iron ore sand gives a fluid of sufficiently high specific gravity to float quartz, limestone and feldspar, while such heavy particles as those of galena ore or metallic copper may be used for fluids to float off still heav- fer solids.

RIGID RULES OF PoLITENEss
Detrimental Countries Carry Forms of ' salutation and Courtesy to What
 We Consider Extremes.

In all continental countries men lift tleir hats when saluting one another. J Is also customary for them to un- over their heads on entering any kind q private premises, including offices, and in some parts even banks.
 1t was, until recently, considered ex- t'emely rude for man in Poland to enter even a shop without removing Ills. hat, and 1t was not unusual for a customer who omitted this formality ts be told that he would be attended ts when compliance with the demands of politeness should entitle him to the slopkeeper's consideration. It was oily few years before the war that tlis practice came gradually to be abandoned. The reform was largely dae to the action of the more import aat tradespeople in the principal towns, who exhibited notices in their shops saying, "Gentlemen are request eI not to remove their hats"
 In Poland and Russia visitors are expected to leave in the hall not only tAeir goloshes, but hat, coat, and stick as well, no matter how short their stay. Clients calling on professional men are expected to do the same.

Ships Coins.

A superstition among seafaring men is that a coin should be placed be- heath the mainmast of newly built ship. The coin should be of gold, though in a pinch silver will do. The coin should bear the date of the year the ship is built and before being placed beneath the mast it is carefully wrap per in cotton. Its resting place is the stepping of the mainmast.
 Dealers in coins are aware of this long-contiQued practice, and the re- suit Is that when an old ship is bro- ken up. especially abroad, there is al- ways on hand company of coin deal- CTS desirous of obtaining the coin. It is said that in this way one collector obtained specimen of the rare Ameri- can dollar of the mintage of 1894, which has commanded high premium for many years.

 Enon-Sherouan the Just, sultan of Persia in the days when Omar Khay- yam was making vain attempts to sell his verses to the magazines, one day bought an indestructible vase, wonder fully fashioned by potter of magic powers. for his royal palace at Rhagas.

 The jar of Enon-Sharouan the Just has just been added to the collection of Macdermid Parish Watson, New York art collector, after existing only in legend and tradition for nearly seven centuries. Two pieces of 1t were found on the site of the royal palace of Rhagas in 1910, and since then other fragments have been uncovered from time to time, and the last piece was picked up in 1914.

Immense Indian Food Dishes.

The largest food dishes in the world were recently bought of the Indians of Vancouver Island, British Colum- bia, for the museum of the American Indian, New York city. These dishes were purchased from a tribe named kWakiutls, which in English means "Smoke of the World" They are used for special festivals when great num- bers of Indians gather to celebrate some religious or ritual festival. The dishes are carved out of wood and soups are brought to boiling point by dropping hot stones into the food The carvings represent the clan to which the dish belongs, which in one instance is the "Wolf'' and in another the Eagle" clan.

 Roland Morris writes from France

 1 MT. and Mrs. Frank Newman are
 happy ill having received word from their son, Carl, now in France. It
 had been some time since they had
 heard, and it would seem that some
 letters must have gone astray. The drive for relief in the Near East
 will not close till the end of this week

 Mrs. Agard, Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Case, Miss Lucille Agard and Miss
 Miriam Underwood attended the an-
 nual meeting of the Woman's Congre- gational Home Missionary Union of
 Connecticut, held Wednesday at the Windsor avenue church in Hartford. The prospect for any addition to the ice crop from now on is rather slim. In view of this outlook MT. Ludwig felt justified in keeping a force of men at work on Crandall's pond Sunday. to save what was pos sible of the crop that remained. William Rudolph died at his home in Holland last Friday morning from kidney trouble. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, Rev. Wm. Barber officiating. Burial was in the South cemetery The deceased leaves wife
 and five children. two of whom are away from home. At the time of his
 death he was occupying what is i known as the Ed. White farm, which he had rented last spring. He was a Hungarian, having come to this country fifteen years ago. He had lived in Holland five years. He was almost sixty two years old. The fam fly have the sympathy of the com munity.
 I. Tilden Jewett has received his
 discharge from the army and has re- turned to his Holland home. The pulp
 lie will be glad to see him again in his accustomed place in the Holland bank, though Wm. B. Ludlow has made a most efficient and satisfactory substitute during his absence. MT. Ludlow deserves great praise for undertaking this confining and exact ing work when MT. Jewett was called into the army. but MT. Ludlow felt that it was form of patriotic ser vice that he could render and so did not feel that he could refuse the call. Certainly the bank was fortunate in having someone who was thoroughly known to step into such responsible position.

 Henry F. Corbin, s9, died at his home in Union Sunday afternoon, after brief illness. He had an attack of influenza about week before his death. but was confined to his bed only four days. At his advanced age, the attack aggravated other troubles and he was not able to rally. During the past winter, as in previous years, he has taken almost daily walks of one-half mile and back for the mail, has taken much pleasure in saving wood and helping about the farm. His interest in topics connected with the war has been keen, and he spent many hours with papers and maga- zines, sometimes reading without the aid of glasses. His was social, friendly nature and he always re- tained deep interest in his wide cir cle of friends and acquaintances, both here and in adjoining towns. Henry Fielder Corbin was born at Union, April 27, 1929, the son of Capt. Sam uel and Charlotte Chapin Corbin and passed his long life on the family homestead. He served two terms in the legislature, being elected the first time with Capt. Chauncey Paul, and later, ill 1897, with Harry B. Back. He served his town as selectman and in various other offices, was for many years an active and faithful member of the Congregational church and Sunday school and took deep inter- est in Mashapaug Lake grange of which he was overseer for many terms. He married Philinda w. Buck, of Pomfret, Nov. 8, 1853, and she passed away Nov. 12, 1906. He is sur vived by his son, Edward M. Corbin of Mrs. Ella Corbin Barrows of Onion, five grandchildren, Frederick

Gay Men Models Show
Coming Masculine Styles
Plcated Backs, Yokes, Tight
Waists and Overcoats With
Flare Skirts Ordained

1t may have been the suspension Of
the work or tight law, or it may have
been the gracious lines of the cos
tunes they were displaying. At any
rate the dozen men models who fioated
last night about the ballroom of the
Hotel Martinique, in which the Amer
lean Designers Association held its
scmi-annual exhibition of male fash
ions, pursued their course with an
even more than usually graceful and
light hearted step.
Their spirit of gayety was merely a
reflection, it was explained, of the
light and cheerful tone that would
animate male dress for the next half
year Colors will still be sober, be-
cause the wars end caught the tailors
with an enormous amount of dark ma
terial on hand. But the lines!
That is why the models capercd.
Among the treats to which the we'll
dressed masculine may look forward
are pleated backs, raglan effects, Jokes
and tight WASTED coats and overcoats
with fare skirts.
The idea the tailors have is that the
man just emancipated from olive drab.
will lean toward clothing of radical
cut. The more ne leans, they say, the
better pleased they'll be.
