Velocity of Linht.

The velocity of light was obtained
ny the Danish astronomer Roemer in
1916, by observing the eclipses of Jupi.
ter's moons. When the earth was
nearest to Jupiter the eclipse ap-
peared about eight and one-half min
utes too soon for the calculations, and
when the earth was most remote from
Jupiter, they were about eight and one
half minutes too late. Roemer conclud-
ed the reason to be that it required II
minutes for light from the planet to
traverse the diameter of the earths
orbit, which measured the difference
of the distances of the earth from
Jupiter. This calculation has since
been verified, and proves that light
travels about 10000 miles a second.

The London Times.

The London Times was founded on
January 1, 1888, by John Walter, who
started a small newspaper, originally
called The Daily Universal Register,
the first number of which was issued
on January /, 1875. This was really,
though not in name, the first number
of The Times. The 94Oth number,
which appeared on January 1, 1888,
was for the first time entitled The
Times, or Daily Universal Register, but
the second title was dropped on March
10 of that year, since which the paper
has been known as The Times.

Right Idea About Business.

The old idea that business is get
ting the better of your neighbor is not
only "bad business" but nonsense.
Business is not getting the better of
but doing the best for your neighbor
and yourself. If business is not mu-
tually profitable, it lis mutually de-
structive. My neighbor's prosperity
helps mine and mine his. When that
old pernicious notion is finally explod-
ed the millennium of business will be
at hand, the era Of universal peace
between capital and labor-Lord Lev

He saw service at Seicheprey, Chateau Thiery, the Foul sector and Chemin- des- Danes. It was at the last mentioned place that he was under fire for the first time and went over the top. During his seven months of fighting he went over tine top many times and was up against the crack regiments of the Germans including the Prussian guards. He came through these engagements with out a scratch and it was not until in the Chateau Theirry drive that he was gassed,
 When first gassed Private Adj did not mind it and it was not until a few days later that as he was march, ing along a road on the way to the St. MihieI sector that he fell uncon- scious by the roadside. The next thing he knew he was in a hospital. His condition was due to mustard gas which severely burned him and now around bis waist and in other parts of his body where he perspired are scars where the mustard gas burned the flesh. Following two months in the hospital he was sent to a post office in France where he served until invalided home.
 All day Wednesday friends called at his house and expressed their joy at seeing him aagin as several times he had been reported killed He brings. back with him a number of souvenirs including buttons and shoulder straps from the Prussian Guards, which he met over there but did not cultivate their acquaint ance.

The first of April brought about for John Trankla, foreman of the Bulletin job printing room, an anniviersary date that is probably unique in the annals of the printing business, for it marked the beginning of his 51st year of continuous employment in this same office, which he entered as an apprentice boy on April 1, 1869. Since the early Dart of 1911 he has been foreman. directing one of the largest job printing businesses in this end of the state. He became foreman upon the retirement. because of poor health, of the late William N. Andrews, in the early part of 1911, Mr. Andrews hav- ing been foreman for about 21 years.
 Ownerships and homogeneous in the Bulletin company have changed possibly half 8 dozen times or more in the past half century, but through them all, from apprentice boy up to steadfastly with the Bulletin job room, where he is a recognized expert in the printers crhft, having looked at it from all the different angles which time and changing conditions have brought about.
 Of the men who were active printers in the days when he entered the bus iness.- he recalls only four now living, Alfred. $. Curtiss and William H. Bliss of this city, now retired, Homer Bliss of Plainfield also retired, and John R. Fowler of the East Side, at present a councilman in the Norwich Com mon Council.

John TrankIa 5O Years With Bulletin Co.

printers ink, for his father. John
 Trankla, had been pressnlan for near
 ly g years up to the time of his death on November 20 1888. As a
 boy of or young John Trankla
 sold Bulletin extras issued in civil war
 times when the Bulletin was printed on the upper floor of the Chapman building on Franklin square. One of his early recollectionS is of his father
 bringing him over to the Bulletin office about 2 o'clock in the morning. when the pressman's duties began, and letting him sleep on a bench. GOV cred up with an overcoat, until 1t was time to start out to deliver a news paper route. In those days the Bull letin was a four-page paper, printed on , fatbed press. It had to be folded by hand and the papers were cut apart with a knife.
 As a boy of fl he entered the Bull letin job room on April 1, 1869, this opening for him occurring because John R. Fowler was taken over at that time from the job room to the news paper composing room, the first ap prentice tie newspaper room had l ever taken in. James Smith of Hart | ford was foreman of the job room at that time and H. P. Gates man ager of the Bulletin association which ran both the newspaper and the job room. The offices and composing rooms were on the upper floors of I the Bulletin building on Main street, which is now occupied by part of the
 Porteous & Mitchell Co.'S store.
 l In about a year the late William l D. Manning, mentor for most of the
 printers of Norwich for many years, l became foreman, succeeding MT. Smith, and remained in this capacity
 from 1870 to 1892. It was under MT. l Manning that MT. Trankla learned
 most of his trade and to all those who knew this veteran of the printing bus mess in Norwich, this means that he
 was well taught. He has seen the ! business change from the old handset
 days to the present time methods with linotypes and automatic-feed presses
 and the most modern and improved machinery. With each improvement
 Mir. Trankla has kept pace and the Bulletins job room has an equipment
 and turns out work that is second to none in the field.
 | In the various changes of manage
 ment that MT. Trankla has worked
 under appear names well known in i the business life of the city, H. P.
 Gates, Campbell & Fitch, c. B. Platt, 1 Dyer, A. H. Harris and down to the
 present successful business guidance
 of William H. Oat as general man.

 ! A number of the men now employed on the newspaper composing room of the Bulletin began their education as printers under the tutelage of MT. Trankla in job department. Among
 these are included Grant Troland, George B. Neibert, Frank A. Wilson. William M. Savage and Harry Jervis.
