Festival of Hannukah.

While the Christian world is cefebra.-
 ing ChEist's birth with rejoicing, the
 Jewish people will he enjoying a season
 of merrymaking under a different name.
 The period of Christmas this year falls
 in the early part of the Jewish joyous
 season.
 For many weeks, beginning with the
 festival of the Atonement, the Jews
 have been passing through what they
 call their earnest season. a time ot prayer and fasting and religious observ=
 anoes. At sunset this evening they emerge into a period of rejoicing with val of the dedication of the temple The Hannukah is a movable feast which is sometimes over before the Christmas f1rkey is delivered. More often than not, however. it coincides with and covers the Christian period ot Yuiet:de rejoicing.
 For eight days the festival is observ- ed. In every house occupied by Jews as well as in every synagogue. Hannu. kah lights are kindled. Beginning with one the first day. an additional candle 1 is lit each succeeding day, until. on tn: | eighth day. eight candles are augf1t. l As the Hannukah is a national "a I ther than a religious observance. 1t i usually given up to nerriment and rec reation. The lighting of the candles IS i indeed. the only symbolic ceremony ] Even the most deyopt of Jews, who. 2 1 a rule turn their backs on worId1, pleasures, take a license at this seasol i of national rejoicing. Their religion i'm poses no restraints on them. Therefor i their motto is, ''iet US be merry, if oni, 1 for once in the year,

GIVES TALK ON BUSINESS ETHICS

rtbouett in these associations but it is the giving of the tNst for an the peopte. Nathan A. Gibbs spoke of the Bankers associations and said that there was nothing ike getting together and discus sing common problems to promote nay mony in business. Problems ia New England are not the same as Tn the south or west but with an association meeting now and then these differences can be discussed at length and mary lelpful suggest ions made. Many ideas are gained :r this way which 1t would be practically impossible to get in any other way.
 John J o'Roarke, secretary of the chamber of commerce also addressed the meeting on the U. S. Chamber of Com n1erce, saying that this organization IS taking measures to give communities the
 best service possible. They are coRluct- 1 irss summer schools for secretaries and other wise training men for civic work. Now a man is picked for a position be-
 cause of his qualifications. One of the 1 problems confronting chambers of com merce in the country is that Of trans portatSon. This is evident right here in Norwich where there is a project to deepen the Thames river channel Most 1 communities boost themselves and II any other city had the natural advantages of Norwich they would be on their toes
 and up and doing. Another thing is the boosting Of winter sports and recreation in New England and not force people to go to Switzerland for the winter carnivais when right here in New Eng land there IS just as s-Id scenery.
 At the conclusion of the discussion a rising vote of appreciation was given the committee and the speakers.
 At the business session President vii
 liam C. Park presided and several mat
 ters of routine were brought up. Clin
 Lane was the song leader and there were
 several selections by the varlous member:
 of the club. Among the guests at lun
 cI1eon were two octogenarians, John T

BARNACLES LONG A MYSTERY
Up to Comparatively Few Years Ago
the Small Creatures Were
Wrongly Chased.

SO indefinite and hazy were the re-
suits Of investigation In It's case that
until very few years ago the
barnacle was classed with the mol
lusca, although It is really a crusta-
cean. II is developed from free-swlm-
ming larvae and attaches Itself TO
rocks or timbers, which It never leaves
again unless torn OF by force.
There prevailed during the Middle
ages curious superstition thar the
barnaele was the egg Of a migratory
goose, the eggs being attached to the
branches Of trees that oyerhung the
water Not until It was found that the
bird had its nesting place IN the
Arctic regions and came South dur
ing the polar winter was this fiction
disproved. But the bird Is still known
as the barnacle goose.
The barnacle also attaches itself
TO- living organisms, one Of It's fayorte
lodging places being the huge bulk Of
lhe whale Sometimes, Il is contend
ed, 1t ventures even into the jaws Of
me big mammal 1t Is one OF the
parad6xes Of nature that the leyIathan
OF the deep is utterly powerless to
cope with the small crustaeean, which,
ut it, largest size, when within the
shell, is about as big as chestnut. It
IS believed, that whales sometimes rub
themselves against ships In their at
tempts to RID themselves Of their IN
welcome tenants. N

FISH NOT BRED FROM EGGS
Scientists Have Discovered Small
Species That Undoubtedly Bear
Their Young Alive.

The habit OF laying eggs Is so near
" universal among fishes that prob
ably most people win be surprised,
says Science Siftings, to learn that
certain small species actually bear
their young alive. Among these is the
large family of killl1shes, or Cyprino-
lontidae. In such species the young
are born m comparatively advanced
stage Of development When born
hey closely resemble the adult fish
All Of them are very tenacious Of life
That the bearing Of the young alive
BY certain fish is not significant Of q
higher state OF evolution, as the lay
man might naturally suppose, IS
proved by the fact that it occurs in
many species of the sharks and their
cousins the rays. though these are
among the earliest, /. O., the most an
cient fishes that we know This habit
" procreation has been developed IN
order to give the young fry better
chance Of survival than they might
otherwise have--it IS literally a case
Of fewer babies hut better ones" The
most curious of all these fishes Is the
genus Anableps which lives IN the
streams OF the American tropics. This
Is sometimes called the four-eyed fish.
FOR the reason that it's large proml-
nent eyes which actually resemble
marbles on the top OF the head, are
divided horizontally into two parts,
the lower half being fitted for water
vision and the upper half for air
vision.
