COMMON CARRIERS.

determination of the general assem- 4iy to deal with a problem which has reonfronted the state for some little time IS indicated by the action of the lower house in passing the bill which makes the 5itney common carrier and places l. under the Jurisdiction of public utilities commission. That will mean that the sitney will be subject to regulation by The state commission just the same as the railroads and trolley lines are. Just such move has been indicated and in keeping with the action of the house it is 10 be expected that the senate will view the need of action in a similar manner,
 Under the bin that is on it's way through the legislature the state com. mission would license the jitneys, deter mine what service they must give and over what routes taking into consieeta. tion the needs and convenience of 4ht public The commission would also look well to the safety provisions on the cars the lighting and sanitary conditions, and # Is to be presumed that inasmuch as the same is done by other carriers thet would be required to adhere to a sched. nle, so that there could be some depend
 ence placed upon the service by the pub
 lic not only on pleasant days and durins the warm weather but at all seasons anf during all kinds of weather. Regula
 tons in some states or cities proVi,il against the hit or miss method of opera
 tion and limit the time which the driver, can take for meals as means of sivin, the public the service which it has , right to expect from a common carrier
 The enactment of such legislation re Earding the jitney has been for some tim coming to a head. As jitneys have de veloped and. operated unfairly agains other transportation lines there was ore sented problem that had to be deal with and the indications are that the Sd lution proposed in the bill will accom- plish what is sought. This deals wit, the transportation of passengers. Ho, long before it will be necessary, if at al
 10 deal with the truck transportation f similar manner is as yet uncertain.

docks ahead an hour the last of this menth. The New Haven road will be op- erated on daylight saving time because of the fact that so many of the large cit- ies along it's lines have endorsed and will have it that there is nothing else to do. It is endeavoring to serve the demands of the greater number and that is what should govern the action by the legisla- ture.
 The action of the house in endorsing the effort to compel standard time came as a surprise but it should only mean the rallying of the forces who are seeking daylight saving to let their demands be known. Connecticut's legislature may not be willing to adopt a daylight saving bill but 1t is not believes thas 1t is ready to let minority disregard the wishes of the majority.

Twins and QuadrupIets.

Once in a while one reads about a birth of quadruplets. Very rarely quintuplets are born, and there have even been instances of Sextuplets. When four or more babies come into the world at birth, almost never do more than three of them survive. A tendency to the production of twins is undoubtedly hereditary; it runs in families. A woman whose mother and grandmother have borne twins may fairly be expected, if married, to bring one or more pairs into the world. That curious armOred mammal the arma- dillO, common in Texas and Mexico. nearly always produces four young at birth; and the most remarkable thing about them is that they are identical bankruptcies. e.. pro- duced by the splitting of a single fer tilized cell. The phenomenon of split ting is known to occur only in the ar- madillO and in man. Identical human twins (prOduced by single celD are very exceptional, but not extremely rare. They are in effect duplicates of one individual, and might almost be said to share a common identity. Or d1nary "fraternaP' twins may be more or less alike, but identical twins reSem- ble each other so closely that it is hard to tell them apart.

Renalrlnn stenehenae.

Stonehenge, the prehistoric group of huge standing stones near Salisbury in southern England, has been set in order for the first time in three or four thousand years. A single stone was strengthened in 1901, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, but a thorough Overhauling was made impossible by the government and during the war was the center of large, permanent encampment. Artillery range and mine experiment stations were established close enough to jar the uprights and the remaining hntels. One lintel was moved outward to such degree that 1t became menace to visitors. The government put up cranes and winches to restore that stone and has set firm the stones that are still erect.

SAVED BY RABBIT
Lucky Catch Preserved Lives of
 Surveyors.
On the Verge of Starvation in Cana
 dian Wilde, Small Creature Was Godsend to Men and Dogs.

The flying survey that the engineers of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway made through the unexplored forests and mountains of Canada was attend ed by all manner of hardships and adventures. It is remarkable that so few men lost their lives, for the york; which was pushed forward winter and summer, was always filled with dan gers. An experience related in MT. F. Great Canadian Railway" affords a graphic idea of the pains and pen alties. that many surveyors endured in that silent, unpopulated country:
 In the depths of winter l was out with one of the surveyors on an ex- plOration trip. We had four dogs and a couple of sleighs not heavily laden. Somehow or other, owing to the blinding snow, we were delayed and lost oar way. The dogs had to go without food and we ourselves did not taste a bite. for three days; nor did we catch sight of the smallest Speci- men of game. One thing after anOth- CT was thrown off the sleighs to ease ! the plight of the dogs, grown so thin from want of food that their ribs showed through their skins. Only our sleeping bags were retained. Through the day we stumbled along on our snOwshOes, constantly falling over Ob- Stacles and bruising ourselves against the trees. At night we lay down by our camp fire, utterly exhausted and faint from hunger and cold.
 It was on the third morning that l deserted the faint footprints of jack rabbit. It was the first sign of game that we had seen for three days. I drew my companions attention to the tracks.
 'StOp right here and light a fire. We'll have something to eat this morn ing or else I won't come back again" !" cried excitedly as I grabbed my gun.
 I sped off with my eyes glued to those scarcely discernible footprints. But it was weary tracking; the trail was as elusive a will-O'-the-wisp as anyone could find in the forest. For three solid hours followed it relent- lessly, stumbling and falling wildly, bruising my shins and tearing my hands through the bush.
 At last 1t disappeared into 8 willow shrub. Crawling up warily, searched the thicket, and there spied the quar- ry. Fearful that in my excitement might take too hurried an aim with my rifle, miss, frighten, and lose the animal I crawled steadily forward on my hands and knees. When within an arms reach made a sudden spring and caught 1t by the scruff of the neck. In a trice 1t was dead; but had captured a sorry prize. Like our selves, 1t was in sore need of food, for it could obtain but slender sustenance from the snOw-cOvered ground.
 I retraced my footsteps as hurried ly as I could. I found my cOmrade sitting before the fire holding his head in his hands between his knees-an abject picture of misery and despair.
 In a few minutes the rabbit was skinned and splitting merrily on an im- prOvised roasting jack. The skin was cut into four equal parts and given to the dogs. They devoured it raven Ously. Not an atom of that rabbit was wasted. The little bit of food put new life into us and we pressed on through the forest until finally we reached our camp.

Improved nt-Spray Guns.


 Painting or vanishing by the spray method has so clearly proved it's ad- vantages that improved tools for it's use are of general interest. A spray ing nozzle, of autOmatic-pistol form, now being made in Missouri, handles all kinds of liquid coatings, including heavy asphalt paint, with pressures of 50 pounds and less. One model Is made to fit the top of an ordinary screw-tOp jar or metal container. Jars containing different celOrs may be in- terchanged in about 30 seconds, the nozzle being cleaned by blowing karo- sene and air through it. This method covers up to 30 or 40 square feet of surface minute, while a larger type arranged for connection to a special pressure tank, covers as much as So. An important feature is it's easy adjustment from fine shading to heavy-flow coating.-Popular Mechan- ics Magazine.
