Clapp of New York uni- versity told the harbor improvement commission Thursday at the Thames club, New London, that as a student of navigation and trade he had doubt but that New become a great comm ho establishment the steamship terminais there. New London was the only port for the state to consider de- veloping and Professor Clapp saw no future for the inland citles like Hart- ford as shipping centers Professor Clapp told the commis- sloners, who came to New London to meet him, as Commissioner of Docks Tomkins did, that New London must expect first to deal with the shipment of bulk cargoes. These as a rule are carried by tramp steamers, but invar ably lead to the business that Ne London is looking for. the ocean line: ery few bulk cargoes go to New York now because they are shipped at cheap freight rates and the expenses of handling them there are nearly pro- hibitive. The grain exports from Canada are increasing and those from the United Stales are decreasing, which would help New London, as Canadian ain d be shipped there.

When the supper hour was over, Chairman Allyn L. Brown in- troduced President James L. Case as the first speaker, He spoke vigorously A. H. WHITFORD, Of Buffalo Y. M. C. A, to the men of the success that was bound to be theirs in the effort to raise the needed pledges, advancing the as-¥ suring argument that the Association had a record of work in the past year upon which it could proudly stand and invite the aid of anyome to assist it in what it was doing for the young manhood of Norwich. General Secretary George C. Hubert of the Hartford association was the special guest of the evening, and he was called upon next. He responded with more enthusiastic words along the | same lines, telling the men of the Norwich association that this plan they were following was seiting an | example which other Associations | were watching with interest, as it | bade fair to become the standardized form for raising Association funds The team captains also spoke en couragingly of the work that was to be done, these including L.

Observing that it was | | cancelled he was about to turn it over to John H. O'Loughlin, janitor of City hall, who was standing close by, and who obeerved his action, when tha | name written on the face of it halted his movement Written in a clear, lagible hand was the name of City Clerk William H. andland ordering the city to pay Fred A.

Probably the largest stones used in any building are seen in the western wall of the great temple of Baalbek in Syria, and the problem is still unsolved as to the methods usel in conveying them from the quarries and of placing them in position. The quarries from which these blocks were undoubtedly cut can be seen about half a mile to the southwest of the temple, says the San Francisco Argonaut. The three stones lie horizontally and form part of the outer wall of the building. They are not on the lowest part of the masonry, but are 23 feet above the first row of stones. feet long, 13 feet high and 10 thick. The most wonderful block of all stil] lies in the quarries, for something must have occurred to stop the work of separating it completely from the rock, and the great stone has lain there for centurles awalting comple- tion.
