Hartford Students at
 Normal Want Bus Line

Agitation for a bus line through Belvidere to Hartford has been started again by the fact that about 40 pupils at the State Normal school on North Stanley street commlte from Hartford. If such a line were established, it would save about three quarters of an hour in travel ing time as well as the change at the center of New Britain. The state board of education is planning to send a petition to the public service commission requesting that the Connecticut company or some other transportation firm be author ized to inaugurate this service, even if only in the morning before school hours.
 The situation is made further un- satisfactory by the fact that the train which left Hartford at a. m. last winter was moved ahead to 6:45 o'clock on the summer schedule, so that there is no suitable train for the Hartford girls 10 take. It is expect ed that this train will he restored to its former running time when the winter schedule goes into effect on September 28.

Americans Accorded
Honors by Britain

The first native American to be
mighted by an English monarch was
Sir William Pepperell. who was born
In Kittery, Maine, June q, 1896. His
father was a Welshman who came to
New England as an apprentice to a
fisherman. The son became a mer-
chant and amassed large fortune.
AS a military leader he took part in
several conflicts with the Indians and
attained much distinction. For thir-
ty-two years he was member of the
royal council of Massachusetts, and as
chief justice Of common pleas he
won eminence as a jurist.
Since Pepperelrs time many Amer
leans have achieved knighthood and
higher British honors, Lord Astor and
Lord Shaughnessy, the former ma
tive of New York and the latter Of
Milwaukee, being among the more
prominent latter-day examples.

His English Admirers
ANNOYED Bret Harte

II Is said that Bret Harte used to be
come weary to evaporation at the
foolish admirers who could not sepa-
rate him from his characters, and who
insisted on confounding their expert
ences and predictions with his own.
Since he wrote of pioneer mining
camps In the early days Of the gold
fever, his characters were often heroic
only In part; indeed, they were quite
as often rogues as heroes. AS he
obviously could not be identified with
the toughest types. among them,
the favOrite notion seemed to be that
he was, or had been, gentleman
gambler, says the Kansas City Star.
With that idea in mind, young Eng
lishman once tried hard to get Harte

At another time he learned that

ton to dine he had just accepted,
had been concerned whether it were
true he was a reformed gambler.

Liquid Floats Stones

OF all liquids, mercury possesses
the greatest specific gravity, but an
other has been discovered which is
also SO heavy that stones of all kinds
granite. limestone, quartz, etc, float
In it. 1t is a saturated aqueous solu-
ton of tungstoborate. Its specific
gravity is 3.8, whereas that Of ordi-
nary rocks does not surpass 81. Only
a few precious stones have a specific
gravity greater than that Of this
liquid, for which reason 1t is proposed
60 employ it for the separation Of such
stones from the masses of broken
rock.
