W, Burnham of the University of Chicago, | the 82 year old college professor who was credited with having discovered 1,300 double stars, recalls to the mind of those familiar with the early his- tory of New early day citizens, the name of Elijah Burritt, a brother of Elihu -Burritt, the famous “learned blacksmith,” was one of the foremost astronomers and authorities of the celestian bodies of all time. The connection with Dr. Durnham is that the late Chicago professor used the atlas and maps of | the heavens arranged by Burritt, his authority and the basis of works. Burritt, as did his “learned black- smith” brother, Elihu, early learned the trade of blacksmith, having | worked in a little shop situated on a plot of ground just below the corner of Main and Walnut streets in what | is now probably the center of Arch | street. He was born here in 1794 and | died in Texas in 1838, After learning | the blacksmith's trade, he went to work in Simsbury, but being of an academical mind, he gave up his work and entered Williams college where ' he received a degree of A. M. He be- came a famous mathematician and astronomer and was at one time editor of a newspaper in Georgia. Later he came back to New Britain and con- ducted a private school. In 1837 he headed a small colony that went to Texas. The book which has made the name of EliJah Burritt known in the ed- ucational work, especially in relation to astronomy, is “The Geography of the Heavens,” and *“Class Book of Astronomy” accompanied by his fa- mous “Celestial Atlas.” This book goes intimately into a study of the stars and is an authority, His Celestial atlas, the first of its kind, has never been equalled, let alone surpassed. It is an exhaustive map of the heavens, with every star placed and named and a-ol pictured as to make the vario heavenly groups, such as “The Lion,” the “Greater Dog,” the “Whale” and others familiar to the sudent of the skies.

A recommendation will be made to tho special meecting of the common | council this evening for the creation of a position of general superintend- ent of outside work, the post to carry with it a salary of $2,500. If favor- able action is taken, an ordinance will be drawn to cover the matter and the | appointment of Charles B. Cadwell, a member of the board, will~be an- nounced. Mr. Cadwell will retain his | commissionership which carries with it a salary of $200 and one of the draftsmen employed on city maps will | be dropped from the payroll while the salary of Superintendent Joseph Scheidel will be reduced to make up the new salary. In this way, the city | will be put to no extra expense.

GREAT ASTRONOMER LIQUOR VIOLATION Peter Butrazzi Gets Four Monthsf for Volstead Law Infraction | Ruling that money is not legal tender in cases like the one presented | before him yesterday afternoon in the! United States court at Hartford, | Judge Harlan B. Howe, of Vermont, sentenced Peter Butrazzi of this city | to four months’ imprisonment for violation of the Volstead prohibition law. Butrazzi was put to plea on three counts, and the case was heard before a jury, who returned a verdict of guilty after about an hour's de- liberation. It was in reply to a plea from the counsel for the accused that a cash fine be imposed, that Judge Howe said: “His money is not legal tender here.” Butrazzi is believed to be the first local man convicted, who will serve time behind the prison bars. He was arraigned on charges of having a still in his home, and to having about | cighty gallons of mash for making | liquor and a like amount of liquor on hand when the officers raided his place. Sergeant William C. Hart was the | only witness called by the govern- | ment. He told of finding the liquors | both in Butrazzi’s store and home | and the still in the accused man’s| yard. Joseph Mercadante, a former prohibition enforcement man was put on the stand, but he did not offer any testimony. Butrazzi used considerable gestures | and a large amount of broken English and some profanity on the stand. He declared that the mash was for making wine for his own personal use, and he disclaimed ever | seeing the still until it was shown him by the officers. In passing sentence Judge Howe spoke of the difference in Butrazzi's case and others before him yesterday afternoon. The judge said that it was plain that Butrazzi was operating to such an extent that it was evident he was in the business to sell liquor | illegally. In such a case, Judge Howe said, much money is being made by this class of violators, and an imposition of a fine in court did not bother them much.
