THE BIG BLACK BEAR
(Meriden JournaD

Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Waterbury? Ghucks, no Things may be bad, but not that bad. How about the big black bear? There, you have something. That playboy, at the Hamilton park zoo, has just nicked the city for $2,500, and that's something to be skeery about!
 It's as though we had some wild animals in cages in Hubbard park. along with squirrels in the trees and ducks in the pend and a boy stood on the second rail in front of the cage housing two American black bears. He swayed forward and one of the bears reached through it's bars and seized the boy, causing in- juries which resulted in lawsuit.
 If bruin understood how much Waterbury needs that $2,500 he u11- doubtedly would have thought twice before skipping down on an observer. Now, to Waterbury, he's just wc,t in bears clothing; and he'll be first on the menu when it's decided to eat the ZOO.

One thing that the city could decide on during 1888 is further disposition of trolley tracks still left on our city streets. Sooner or later they should all be re- moved, instead of just be covered over. What with several ambitious paving proj- ects planned for this year, it is to be hoped that before the year ends all of the remaining tracks will have been removed and one more traffic hazard eliminated.

THE EDITOR

Q. Tell me something about the giant new star recently discovered.
 A. It is a large, dark companion body of the 3rd magnitude star Epsilon Aurigae," thus finally es- tablishing this as a binary system, 1p which the smaller and hotter component becomes obscured by the large and darker star at certain reg ular intervals. The newly discov- cred star is of heretofore unknown character: its temperature is ex- ceedingly low - compared with the temperatures of ordinary stars - being only of the order of 13OOo c. Most of its light is ra-red, and 1t can be detected only by means of special infra-red sensitive materials. It is the largest star ever discovered, with a diameter some 5000 times that of the Sun, and the Sun with most of its planets - almost as far as the orbit of Uranus - could be comfortably accommodated within the bulk of this giant companion of Epsilon Aurigae. Once every 27 years the latter star = the visible one of the binary - passes behind it's dark companion.
 Q. How many places ill the United States have. a popula tion of 5000 or more? Y ''''.'

A. The 1930 census showed 1883 such places.
 o. Recently you stated that a boy born to alien Italian parents in Hartford, Conn.,, lost his American citizenship because his parents took him to Italy when he was ten years old and he continued to reside here with them. Was not that answer in- correct?
 A. Unfortunately, in stating the question, we omitted the statement that the boy had served in the Ital- ian army and had taken the oath of allegiance. If the young man had not taken an oath of allegiance and served, in the Italian army, he could have returned to the United States and claimed citizenship on account of his birth in this country.
