THE HAPPIEST HEART.

Who drives the horses of the sun
Shall lord it but day;
Rattan the lowly deed were done
And kept the humble way.
The rust will find the sword of flame,
The dust will hide the crown;
Ave. none shall nail so high his name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever peat
Was in some quiet breast,
That found the common oayAshe
sweet,
And left to Heaven the rest.

Claude w. Stevens, representative to the state legislature, returned yesterday from a trip to Ochoy, Florida, where he visited his son who is employed in landscape gardening in the southern state.

Every type of tropical tree is set out on the grounds and for the first time, Mr. Stevens saw tea and coffee growing in it's native element Each tree, MT. stevens stated, is labelled with placard to distinguish the plant.
 Mir. Stevens was entertained with motor trips throughout the territory surrounding Ochoy and Orlando, viewing the wonderful estates which comprise the millionaire section of the state. He was absent from this town about 10 days and returned ready to take up his duties as rep rcscntative in the assembly at the session in Hartford which begins Tuesday, January 1.

SUN SPOTS NOW EASILY VISIBLE
Can Be Seen With Naked Eye,
 Professor Frost Says

Williams Bay, Wis, Dec. 30 lPy -- For the last 13 months the sun has undergone unusual activity which monthly has created sun spots of such vast extent that they have been visible to the naked eye said Professor F. B. Frost, director of Yerkes observatory. here today
 Two months ago four of the yas- sun spots were visible at one time and each month one or more have been observed.
 Whether the sun spots affect tn 4 earth's temperature has not been determined, said Professor Frost and the only known influence ey ertod upon the earth is magnetic,
 To be visible 10 the naked eyr shielded, of course, by smoke l glass, Professor Frost said that the sun spot must be nearly 100000 miles long and approximately half as wide, although some have been seen when they attained a length of so. GOO or even J0.000 miles.

In the general outline and form, excepting the temperature. sun spots can be compared to the cyclones which whir1 up in the Caribbean sea area, the true mean ing of the word cyclone" being applied.
 Such sun spot activity as de

WANT FIRE HOUSE 0N FEDERAL HILL Commission Votes to Ask City
 Council to Act ESTIMATED COST SM,0O0
Fish and Game Association Has Successful Year-Bristol Endecs Defeat Meridcn Rivals - New Britain Driver Gets Jail Term.

The Federal Hill section will have fire station before the expiration of another year, if the recommends tion made last evening by the board of fire commissioners is acted upon favorably by the city council. This step was first advocated last year by Chief John II. Hayes but no definite action was taken until the meeting last evening.
 Due to the steep grades leading to the vicinity Of the Federal Hill school from inc center, some diffi- culty has been experienced by fire apparatus in getting to fires in that section, particularly after q heavy fall of snow. Last year. Chief Hayes had a supply of hose stored ir the hill section for emergency use. Another adverse feature which prompted the suggestion of a fire house was the low water pres sure prevailing on the hill. In the event of q large fire it would be necessary to use bumper and quicker results would be obtainable by the erection of a new station.
 Il was roughly estimated that the expense involved would total ap- proXimately s50.00O. For this reason. Mayor John F. Wade in dis cussing the recommendation, be- lievnd that the matter would first have to be put before the voters. In this event, nothing can be done prior to the city election next fall.
 Recommend Pay Increase
 The fire commissioners also once more recommended pay increase of s350 week for the regular members of the fire department. This increase would bring the pay of the captain to sio and of the regular firemeu 10 s37 week. This recommendation will also he submitted to the city council at its meeting next Tuesday evening and will be turned over by them to the salary committee.
 Local Team Wins
 The Bristol Endees last night de- feated the Meriden Endees by a score of 3l to 25 in q game featured by considerable roughness. Feld- man and Marchinek were eliminated by the personal foul route and Meri- den lost the services of Hafner, Sil verman and McNamara In like man ner. At the end Of the first half the visitors were leading 14 to l3 and with but nine minutes to play had increase their lead 10 2S to 19. Marchinek was high point man for the Bristol team with a total Of l3 while Silvcrman led his teammates with four field goals and four from the foul line. Billy Coyle, agreed upon by both teams as referee fer the series. handled the game satis- factorily.
