TWO PEEVISH PAPERS

It eheares the facts that constitute the settlement gives the situation exactly it stood when the story printed and states what details uncompleted to conclude the of formal settlement The elements of The Times story follows: 4-Tho American Graphophone Company will remain in Bridgeport,

THE REASON WHY
Why Do Our Eyes Sparkle When We
 Are Merry?

If you should watch very closely the eyes of a merry person when you see them sparkle you would probably notice that the eyelids move up and down more often under such condi- tions than ordinarily, and if you know what moving the eyelids up and down in front of the pupil of the eye does, you will have the answer.
 Every time the eyelid comes down it releases little tear, which spreads over the eyeball and washes it clean and bright. It does this every time the eyelid comes down. Now, there is something about being merry which has the effect of making the eyelids dance up and down. and thus, every. time the lid comes down, the ball of the eye is washed clean and bright, and gives it the appearance of spark ling, as we say.

After James I. had succeeded Eliza beth upon the English throne dissipa- ton increased apace. The King was sober enough, but his court almost reeled through its ceremonials. Even ladies of high blood were seen openly intoxicated. Under Charles I. intem- perance declined, and under the Puri- tans drunkenness was so severely punished that the nation seemed to have conquered the vice forever.
 But with the restoration Charles IL flung to the winds all the sCbriety and deCency of the previous genera tion. His court was the most vicious that England has ever known. And alcohol was largely responsible for this degeneration.
 Never had intoxicating liquors flowed with such abundance. In 1888 more than 12,O00,OOO barrels of beer

Why Doesn't an Iron Ship Sink?

This is a very natural question for you to ask right after you were told why iron sinks in water. The explana- tlon is that by making an iron ship in the way We do we fix it so that it holds lot of air in between the bottom and sides, making the rnbination of the two-the iron ship and the aiy. in i-- lighter than the water on which 't sails. Men thought at one time that a ship would sink if made of iron and therefore built all of their sbips of wood. Finally one inventor made a ship of iron and it was one of the wonders of the world. When we found mat iron ships would float if they were built to retain sufficient air to keep them from sinking, we made the hulls of most ships of iron for a time. Now, however, the best ships are made of steel, which is even better.
 If you bore a hole in the bottom of a ship, the water will run in if the ship is in the water, and the ship will sink, because the water coming in drives out the air; and when the ship is full of water the ship itself, and the water on which it sails, and the shin will go down. Filling q ship with water makes the iron part of the ship just like q bar of iron, so far as its Slnk-nS QuaNUeS are concerned.
 Of course, an iron ship must be made long enough and broad enough so that when it is completed there will be sufficient air contained with in the hull to make the combination lighter than water. Always. therefore when a ship is to be built. competent engineers must go over the plans of the vessel and calculate the air ca pacity, so as to make sure she will float.
 Nowadays it would be difficult to sink modern vessel by boring one small hole in the bottom. because the bottom and sides are lined with en- closed steel air-chambers. and a ship will keep afioat even if one or a mum Der of holes are made. The reason is of course, that when you bore a hole into one of these air-chambers the water rushing in will i'll that air chamber with water. but as there is no connection from the inside with the rest of the ship. the water can get no further.-From The Book of Wonders.

BELIEVE CARMEN
 ARE 10 ACCEPT COMP AVIS OFFER
Men Will Vote To Take 12 Per Cent. Wage Raise To
 day, Is the Opinion.
WAS A REQUEST
 NOT A DEMAND
Conductors And Iiotormen Work Under Contract
 Fares May Be Raised.

New Haven, Aug. 25 Trolleymen of the Connecticut Company, all over the system, will vote today upon the acceptance or rejection of the 12 per cent. wage increase offered them by the company in answer to a re- quest for more pay.
 Ballot boxes will be placed in all the car barns where the motormen and conductors may register their vote.
 It is not expected that enough op- posing votes will be registered to re- ject the company's offer, which comes after what was more in the nature of request than a demand by the men, By strict terms of the workers agreement with the com pany, the employees are not entitled to any increase during the period of the contract, which does not expire until next June.
 In 1917 the Trolleymen's union made an agreement as to wages and conditions which would expire June, 1919. However, in october, 1918, during the term of the agreement, the men petiioned the company for an increase in wages and secured five cents an hour more. By common consent the agreement to be terminat- ed June, 1919, was put over another year to 1920, and the employees recognizing that previously they had $. cured increased wages during the period of the agreement, again peti- toned the company a short time ago, before expiration of the agreement for relief. from the high cost of liv- ing
 They did not specify any amount nor did. they rely very seriously upon the expectation of relief other than the precedent before established by granting their petition 4 short time ago the company announced that it would grant Q 12 per cent. increase. The men are now receiving from 30 to 45 cents an hour and with the in crease they would receive approxi- mately five cents more an hour.

tried very hard to be at their own homes by nightfall and they did not venture forth again until morning. People went to work early. Stores opened by and often by o'clock. Dinner was served in the middle of the day, and not much work was done in the afternoon except by those who had to. The courtiers and all who liked to drink hard began their day with a morning draught. They had
 one or two more drinks in the morn
 ing, but the real drinking started with dinner. The guests had wine with
 their food, and they then remained at
 table for hours, smoking, gambling and always drinking. But even those who had taken too much uusually had sense enough to start for home as soon as it began to get dark. CTomorrow's Picture---The Old Ia bard Imp

larity; buttered ale, which was warmed, favored with sugar and cin- namon and into which butter was put, was frequently called for at the tav- erns.
 In fancy drinks there was no such variety as prevails today. Brandy was the only distilled liquor procura- ble, and this was so costly that not many could afford it. But mead still held it's place in popular favor and hypocras---re1 wine plentifully su- gared and spiced---was demanded by the young bucks of the age.
 One curious feature of this dissi- pated period is the fact that nearly all the debauchery went on in day light hours. Even in London the tav- erns did little business at night. The streets were so dark and footpads so dreaded that almost all the citizens

 Of alcoholic drinks there was abun- dant variety. There were Spanish wines and French wines, and win0s from the Rhine were also coming into favor. Champagne was, of course, un- known, but sherry, claret, burgundy and many others were familiar.
 Beer and ale were the popular drinks, and there were numerous va rieties of these. Mum was ale brewed with wheat instead of hops; lambs wool, described in an earlier article of this series, kept it's popu-
