Wcirht of n Crowd.

Interesting experiments were mn6s some time ago at Harvard university which seem to demonstrate that engi- neers usually underestimate uhs nan- mum loading caused by dense crowds on bridges. floors and platforms. Forty men averaging 1e5 pounds h weight placed in a box six feet square caused an average pressure of. Isl pounds to the scuare foot on the lcor.
 An engineer has estimated the weight per square foot of the densest cr1Eds on the New York elevated railways al only 45 pounds but since the Harvard s1- periments the opinion has been expressed that the maximum loading on the ele- vated cars and nlatforIns may be nearer 1SI than 45 pounds.

Early Use of Ether

While various experiments had been made with so-called laughing gas, or nitrous oxide gas, in America pri- or to 1S46, it was seventy four years ago last month that the first practical operation under ether was performed in the Massachusetts General Hospi- tai in Boston
 A peculiar feature was that the sul- phuric ether was given, not by one of the house physicians, but by a young dentist, who had been experimenting on himself and had gone to sleep for eight minutes. He rusled over Co tbe hospital and askd chance to 6enon- strate his discovery. X man about 70 have a tumor remover rom his neck gave permission to have the "newfan- gled dope" applied.
 The dentist went 70 wo:k and the tumor was removed. The patient, open ing his eyes after the operation, cried: Gentlemen, this is lo hum5ag.' and with that remark ether was gwen 10 the medica world. Oliver Wendell Homes came forwa-i with T name for the process, and the liquid and tte dictionary gained ana, ;,ss.d and an- aesthetic.

South windham residents have stood for ssne time the speeding of automo- bnes through their town, but at last tAey are ID in arms and it is under ssDod tha- the state police department has been asked to send officers to that village to souHd up the violators of the automobiie law.
 During the past few weeks pedestri- ans have on several occasions narrow ly svertsd being struck by speeding saTs at the several turns in the state highway through the sillAge. Auto mobile accidents, mostly of slight na- rrs, have been common in the vil- age n1ast of them happening at the nrve near the home of Edward W. ivsry. Many autoists take this corn q at a fast clip and being unable to h5ake the turn. shoot across the road and over the stone wall into the Avery year
 Another place that has figured in many accidents is the curve at the corn CT Of Main street and the Norwich highway. Drivers coming into South WInahan have often failed ts figure the curve and as a result the large tree in the Holmes property yard has act ed as a bumper for their cars. Not long ago one driver sent his car into a telegraph pole at this point. breaking the pole and smashtcg the car. The three sharp curves in the highway as it passes through South WindhsUn make this section a dangerous one for autOnloDliists who are careful, and the risk snd danger of meeting one of the speed msniacs that pass through the village has added the final straw to the patience Of South Windham residents.
