 We have had the experience in Hartford of various 2oalous but ill., advised persons and organizations seeking to permit the parking of automobiles on Bushnell park. Every time that project comes up we swat it as we would swat q fly. Owners of automobiles must realize that they must provide parking space for themselves at their own expense. A large parking pavilion is now contemplated here and the Hartford club is 10 provide park ing space for which members will pay.

 A. C. Stephens, an Englishman, made an attempt July Il, 1920, to go over the Horseshoe Falls in a sr~ ciallJ constructed barrel and was killed. In the summer of 1859 Jean Francois Gravelet, who went by the name of Blondin, performed the hazardous feat of crossing Niagara Falls on q tight rope. He performed the act several times and on one occasion carried a man upon his shoulders. Miss Taylor and Mir. Leach, however, were the only per- sons who survived going over the falls in barrel,
 c. How should walls that have been papered be prepared for painting?
 A. First remove all the paper. All cracks should be filled, and a size applied 10 the wall. All plaster should be filled whether oil or water paint is to be used as a fin ish. The best filler is a medium grade varnish. thinned with turpen- tine or gasoline. A varnish size makes the plaster almost, if not quite, impervious 10 moisture and is therefore superior to any filler that contains water.
 c. How are automatic telegraph messages received?
 A. On a machine that types or prints them.
 .. What is the rank Of an academy in the school system?
 A. It is usually regarded as be- tween grammar school and college.
 .. If 17 cats catch r rats in 17 minutes, how many rats will 100 cats catch in 100 minutes?
 A. If 17 cats catch r rats in 17 minutes this is at the rate of one rat per minute caught by 17 cats. each cat is catching rats at the rate of 1-17 of rat per min ute. One hundred cats will then catch 1-17 100 X 100 rats or 5SS 4-17 rats in 100 minutes.

 A. They are chosen by inc [. s. Marshals subject 10 the approval Of the Attorney General. The minimum salary for a deputy marshal who devotes his entire time to his duties is $1,320 per annum.
