Moral Beauty.

I hold it certain that he who has
learned to distinguish the delicate
from the common, the ugly from the
beautiful, has gone half the way to
knowing the evil from the good. 1t is
true that mere good taste is not, as
the dilettante might wish, the only cri-
terion of human actions; yet one
should not, with the narrow a%scetic,
consider it a lure to error, a deceitful
guide. We would not indicate it as a
certain path to the right; but as a
parallel and nearby road which keeps
neal to itself the step and vision of
the wayfarer. In the measure that hui
mainly progresses it sees that the
moral law is but beauty of conduct; it
shows evil and error like a discord;
and will seek for the good as a re-
stored harmony.-Jose Enrique Rodo,
in ariel" translated by f. J. Slim
son.

THOUGHT EARTH HOLLOW
Peculiar Theory, In Which Many Had
Faith, That Was Put Forward
by John C. Symmes.

John G. Symmes (17791S29) be-
lieved that the globe was hollow and
inhabited. He claimed the earth was
open at the poles to admit air, and
contained within it other ~concentric
hollow globes all Inhabited in a like
manner In 1923 congress was petit
toned to send an expedition to test
out his theory, with himself in charge,
but the matter was dropped. Hum
boldt states that Symmes often invited
himself and Humphry Davy to de-
scend to the earth's interior and in
vestigate animal and plant life.
Symmes said the inside Of the earth
was lighted by two subterranean suns
which he named "Pluto" and "Proser-
pine" Arctic exploration and the dis
covery of the north and south poles
proved part Of his theory a myth.
An official Of Koreshan Unity says
that the earth's ~concavity is proved
by an actual United States geodetic
survey-"A straight line extended at
right angles from a perpendicular post
over land or water surface will meet
the water or surface of the earth, at
a distance proportionate to the height
Of the perpendicular"

The Date Palm.

Date palms, originally brought from
Egypt, have been growing in Arizona
for 20 years. The early paintings of
the University Of Arizona, which have
now come into full bearing, seem to
prove that certain parts of the South
west are particularly suited to date
culture. An old Arabian proverb says,
1.-THE date must have it's head in the
fire and it's feet in the water" The
usual yield of a tree is eight punches,
weighing each about IL pounds,
though they sometimes weigh as much
as A pounds. Some of the Arizona
trees have produced as many as 16
heavy clusters.-Youth's Companion.

TREATIES IN EFFECT

An event Of too great Importance
to the world to pass uhnoticed took
place yesterday. The naval treaty be-
tween the United States Great Britain,
France, Japan and italy. and the four
power Pacific pact became effective.
The cessation of the 'Anglo-Japanese
agreement came automatically, Italy
is not a party to the Horsepower
treaty.
The treaty by which this country
alone, and others in proportion, will
scrap" 100000 tons of fighting YES
sells, is at least step toward the
practical disarmament of nations
which will come when men become
completely sane--if they ever do. 1t
lessons the expense Of the nations
parties to the pact; its moral in
fuence means great deal.
The Pacific treaty which termin-
ates the menace of the Anglo-Japan-
csc alliance, would seem TO assure
peace in the Pacific.
These are the understandable re-
suits of nations getting together. In
them may be seen the spirit, not yet
thoroughly understood, that may re-
suit in further preparation for perpet-
ual peace.

COMMUNICATIONS WELCOME

Communications to this newspaper
are welcome always. Often they give
valuable information; sometimes they
make worth while suggestions and
nearly always they are interesting, OF
course no newspaper makes the words
of the writer of any communication
its own; it may differ from the au-
thor But that is entirely beside the
point. Their value rests in the interest
they arouse and the possible advan-
tage that may be taken of them to
the benefit of the city or a group of
individuals in it.
An interesting communication of this
character was published yesterday,
mentioning the History of the move
ment to standardize the hose couplings
in various city and towns of the state
This movement, of course, has been
eagerly encouraged recently by the
underwriters, as the better fire protec-
ton the state has the less are the
risks of the insurance companies For
the peace of mind of the people of
this city and certain other cities, ra-
Their than because of any concern for
the insurance companies, it may be
stated that New Britain has been in
satisfactory position in regard to it's
hose couplings for a matter Of ten or
IL years at least.
AS to the standard size and thread
of the fire hose coupling and hydrant
it has been found that there is such
a standard between this city and
Hartford, Meriden, Bristol and Plain
vile, and that the New Britain depart
ment has a ''rcducer" which permits |
of coupling with hydrant of practi- |
cally any size if the coupling will not
fit without IL.
New Britain has had fine fire pro-
lection for a long time. The fact has
not been officially recognized Recently |
this city inaugurated the two-platoon
system and since that time an Off
cial investigation of the protection
here has been made. 1t would be in |
teresting to know if the FIRE under
writers recognize that fact fully and
If New Britain is TO receive at their
hands, the full credit it deserves
and has deserved for a long time.
1t will be noted, also, that when
this movement was started there was
much greater need of assistance from
neighboring towns than there is at
present. The fire departments were not
fitted out as they are today; no town
or city was as thoroughly able to take
care of itself as it is now. Frequently |
New Britain has been of use to neigh
BORING cities Another point for the |
Underwriters to beAr in mind.

BASEBALL IN 1895

Among the items noted in "Yester-

mention of a game in 1895 in which

The significance of the item, which
shows a Slaughter" Of a pitcher and
the use of a player who had lost his
efficacy in the box" which at that
time was used in place of the pitch
er's slab, lies in the contrast to present
baseball practices it presents. The
anger of the then owner of the New

shown in other games. He insisted

ROAD CONDITIONS

Attention is called to the bulletin
on roads under construction and de-
tours, issued by the State Highway
department and published in this
newspaper yesterday. A regular issue
of such bulletins and notice of them
by drivers of automobiles would re-
suit in a personal saving of cash and
time. as well as enhancing the pleas
ure of motoring.
In this connection it is worth while
to emphasize the financial loss, seldom
realized, that comes from driving over
bad roads at all, especially when the
motorist travels fast. Everyone
realizes that the constant friction of
parts resulting from humping over
bad roads takes the life out of a car
and reduces its value rapidly The au-
tomobile may be so we'll constructed

to the car and the jars are absorbed
by it, uncomplainingly perhaps, but
extensively. 1t is quite probable that
travelling fairly rapidly over a long
stretch of slightly bumpy surface is
more damaging to a car than short
distance full of rough places The
driver is warned by the latter and
slows down, usually because they
make him uncomfortable. The driver
is not warned by the less noticeable
bumps and often fails to reduce the
speed of the car. But the car gets the
benefit.
Note the road conditions as made
public and take advantage of them
and remember the suffering car which
is doing its best to maintain its value
for the sake of your pocketbook.
