Remains to
Be Passed

ferees Agree on Army
of 156, 900 Men; Navy
Measure Is Dead.

Washington, March 2.-Congress

ment, has cleared its calendar We'd
nesday night of II of 13 annual supply
measures and leaders were hopeful Of
passing one other-the sundry civil
] at the last moment.
| Indications were that the naval bill
finally would take it's place with the
great mass of bills regarded as certain
to die with this congress.
Regulatory Bills Dead.
! Among the larger measures believ-
ed dead were those proposing compen-
sation for former service men, regu-
lation of cold storage and the meat
and coal industries, $10O,OOO0OO for
state road aid, federal budget sys-
tenn, reapportionment in the house and

the legislative, Indian and agricul-
tural bills.
House Blocks Army Bill.
General legislation awaiting the
presidents signature includes the
emergency tariff bill, the immigration
bill and the resolution repeating most
Of the special war time laws.
Senate and house conferees on the
army appropriation bill reached an
agreement to make provision for an
army of 10000 enlisted men for the
next fiscal year. The agreement was
a compromise between the senate fig
ures Of 175.OOO and the house maxi
mum Of 10000 and apparently as
sures passage of the 1886 10000 army
budget at this session.
Air Service Compromise.
The house agreed to the conferees
compromise Of S21, 100000 for the
army air service. instead of the $19,-

total, So, 3,5OO,O 600 would be available for
new planes and 100000 for expert

The fate of the soldier bonus bill
apparently was decided in the senate.
Senator McCumber. Republican, North
Dakota, for the finance committee, re-
luested unanimous consent to bring
up the measure, but Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Colorado. objected.
Senator McCumber asked if the
senator would tie up the measure with
parliamentary obstruction and Sena-
tor Thomas replied that he would do
the best he could. Senator McCumber
thareupon, announced that he would
not press the measure further.

that the action Of the league in post

bears are probably scarce in the Nut
meg fauna. Snakes, especially rattle
snakes, are much more fascinating and
fearful to the imagination. Besides, a
snake is the secular guardian of treas
ures. There was time when canny
children, who had eaten the contents OF
their own berry pals, or pillaged their
known neighborhood of bushes, used to
hide. follow the trail of experts, and so
sneak into a region of copious berries.
On the timid, especially the girls, the
warning of snakes in the bushes was a
detrifnent. So it seems to be still in
Connecticut. Whether fights now occur

BERMUDA's MANY ATTRACTIONS
Steamship Service Is Introducing Many
Visitors to the Islands

The nearness of the Bermuda Islands
to New York-only two days sail by
magnificent ocean liners-is an attrac-
tive feature of the trip. Many vaca-
tionists cannot consider a long sea trip,
as it would consume all the limited va
cation period. 1t has, therefore, proved
of interest to such vacationists to know
that Bermuda, in the summer season,
meets the happy medium of a limited
vacation time and moderate cost, The
vacationist has a maximum of time to
spend IN sight seeing Iii these quaint
sixteenth century islands. The schedule
of the steamer on the New York -Ber-
muda route includes sailing every five
days, SO that 1T is possible to adjust
one S vacation period to meet the fire.
quent sailing dates without loss of time.
In the matter of cost, a Bermuda
summer vacation is also a happy medi-
UNI. 1t is possible to enjoy an eight or
nine day Bermuda trip, including all ex-
pense for the steamer, hotel and sight
seeing trips, at a cost which is actually
lower than the rate charged by many
first class hotels at leading American
seashore and mountain resorts. Con-
trary to general belief, Bermuda is cool,
being far removed from the heat of the
tropics and enjoying an average summer
temperature of 79 degrees. There is
novelty and charm in the two-day voy-
age, where one is just as much at sea
as the transatlantic traveller.
Flying fish, dolphins, sea turtles, and
even whales often are sighted and, cou-
pied with the balmy and invigorating
sea air, there is not a dull moment

Bermuda's sea gardens are wonderful
as natural marvels which have no equal
in the gardens on land. Glass -bottomed
boats are used and boatmen row the
visitors slowly over the clear water,

be seen the strange coral-incrusted sea
plants, and many vari-colored fish.
Aside from the rides and drives either
by cycling or carriage. and visits to Ber-

Snakes and perr, Pastures.

Though there has been great addl-

ankee New England, some of the old
pastoral traditions survive. Thus, in

snake of mighty proportions was killed,
or said to have been killed the other

comments with a certain cynicism on
this snake in the bush. While it adj

Saves Thousands in Waste Product.

There is one place in the United States
where the junk man dare not tread. He
may ply his ancient calling along every
one of the highways and the byways of
every one of these 4S states, yet never
make his way into the big manufacturing
plant of the Western Electric Co. near
Chicago. Ever since 1909, when the
great electrical concern decided to be its
own junk man, its gates have been closed,
except on rare occasions, to the indie
pendent members of the waste product
world.
The Western Electric Cos waste
products represent value of about ST.
100000 year in normal times They in
clude everything on the manufacturing
menu, right down to brass nuts. They
are copper. lead, tin, antimony, cadmium,
spelter, nickle, aluminium, bronze, all
sorts of steed, metal borings, rubbers,
yarns, paper, oils, lacquers, etc. The
machines at the plant near Chicago trim
off about 100000 pounds of yellow
going to the junkman, these trimmings
are put through a special process that
keeps them free from foreign matter and
are sold back to the brass manufacturers
Recently 10000 pounds were sold to a
manufacturing concern that used the
trimmings directly IN It's cFucIbleS IN
place of brass ingots, thus saving on the
original cost, and also on that Of smelt-
ing. Copper magnet wire is another big
scrap item with the Western Electric
Co. 1t runs into a total of some SOC, 900
pounds yearly. Most of it is bought by
small manufacturers, who use il in max
ing transformers and other small electri-
cal apparatus. Galvanized iron rivals
the copper magnet wire in its scrap inn
portance. 1t amounts to about 100000
pounds year also. At present there is
little call for this type of waste except
from sash weight manufacturers and toy
concerns. The Western Electric has
found outlets for thousands of other
types of its outcast material. It's most
recent discovery was that it would get
twice as much for its excess German sill
yer from novelty jewelry companies and
fountain pen concerns as it had been
offered by its friends, the junk men,
