On the other hand, the pop- ulation and eiection statistics do show that the:popular vote in 1%12 was not as largé as it ought to have been. The total in 12 was 16,941,656 and ia 1808 1t was M,338442, an incremse of 153.- 2i3. In ghe four years between 1903 and 1912 there was an ‘ncrease of $5 per cent. in. the popuiation of the coun- try, which, umaking allowsnces for that part of the imcreawse due to immigra- tion, ought to have adiled at least 2,000,000 to the popular vote. There Was also an increase of about helf a million voters by the admission of ‘Arizona and New Mexico to statehood and the extension of the suffrage -to Women in Cefifornia and Washington.” How many could mnot get to ‘their voting places it is impossible to tell,. but if all the commercial travelers had happened to be away from home that day, it would not have caused the shrinkage.

THAMES RIVER BRIDGE. There should be nothing to stand in The way of the acceptance by the state of ‘the offer of the New Haven rail- road to give i the state of Comnect- Jeut the drawbridge over the Thames Fiver, between New London and Gro- ton. ~ Ome of the great needs of the =outh emd of the county fs the over- coming of the ferryboat service which has always existed there for those de- siring to get from one shore to the pther. It is slow, unkandy and com- bined with the peril of a most dan- gerous raiiroad cressing. Since the New Haven road has been considering the construction of a new bridge to the north of the present structure the importaace of retaining the present bridge for hishway and passenger use has beem vital. It not only means much to the residents on both bamks of the river, but being on the trumk line for autos following the coast, It will mean the overcom- ing of an important obstacle. Con- necticut should be most happy to ac- cept the gifi. It should obtain the bridge even .il it becomes necessary 0 purchase it.so necessary is it that such a method for crossing the river at that point should be provided. We have reached the period where ferry- boats have come to be a back num- ber. when a bridge is possible. New london is the largest place in the state which maintains such service. After the precaution has been taken of seeing that the bridge is in proper The large distributions by the Stan- gard Oil are just now revealing what that monster corporation was Worth. The big ofl dividend is another of {hose instamces where John D. Rocke- fellor thinks it pays “to save your pennies.” The money disbursed by the'city for horses injured in the streets, might better have been paid for improving the streets, The responses in behalf of the am- bulance fund indicate conclusively new ambulasce and one of the aato type is needed The coufession of the New Yorker shows that all of the bombthrowers are not foreigners., We have anar- chists at home.

AMBASSADORS. In comparison with the salaries paid similar officers of other countries, our ambassadors are the poorest pald. The highest salary which is attached to any such official representing this gov- ernment is $17.500. In most instances statesmen of wealth have been chosen to be this country’s ambassadors. To them their salary was little or no con- sideration, and it surely failed to mean anything left over after meeting their expenses. There exists now a vacancy in the diplomatic service at the court of St. James. President-elect Wilson will name a successor to the late Am- bassador Reid at the sbove named salary, a mere pittancs when it comes 1o footing the bills made necessary by the office, In holding that the dfplomatic ser- vices of an Ameriean ambassador are the Charles- we and Courfer declares they deliver notes, the context of » have been declded on by the ent and his cabinet.

Tt s the writer's most fervid hope that the readers of The Bulletin may never have the occasion to cultivate any closer acquaintance with this insect than through printed sources. As the writer hae upcn several occasions come into close teuch with the brown-tafl he ‘could not wish for his worst enemy the torture that this insect is capable of affording. Mosquito-bites are painful to some people and irritating to practical everyone - Multiply a mosquito bite by one hundred and you will have the min- imum value of one spot of brown-tail rash. Multiply that one spot by from 50 to 5000 and vou will have =a fair cenception of what is meant by “brown tall rash.” The torture is beyond des- criptien, f one wishes to know more about it let him expose himself to the fiving hairs of this moth. The brown-tail moth s white exeept for its abdemen. This pertion of the meth's body is a beautiful seal-brown- the ecelor similarity to seal-skin brown being emphasized by the soft, velvety texture of the abdeminpl ceat This furry coat {s made up of thousands of short hairs whieh easlly dislodge and through the air with every breese. hen the female lays her eggs, thisin {he month of July, she brushes these haifs off laying them over the cluster of eggs. Woe be the bird that swallows that eggz-cluster. 'Tabasce sauce would be_mild. Thus un?‘ly guarded the egg-cluster remains unharmed upon the twig for a few davs or weeks till in August it Sends forth a host of tiny caterpillars. Theee caterplilars are also armed with poisonous halrs, but live together like litile pigs without suffering any mut- ual harm. They find their way to the extremity of some twig and feed upon the outermost leaves. Their develop- ment is astonishingly slow. When autumn comes they are not much over one fourth of an inch in length with a diameter less than that of the lead in an ordinary pencil. The harmonious host | build a winter house for them- selves with the leaves they have last been feeding upon, pulling these leaves together and binding all with count- less thousands of fiberlets. The re- sult is astonishingly tough, resembling a good grade of soft leather. In this shelter the caterpiilars pass the winter. 1t will thus be seen that no brown- tail moths have been seen during the present winter. No matter how mild the winter is the caterpillars always make the same preparation and as they must wait for the spring vegetation to furnish them food for further davelop- ment, obviously no moths of the species would be seen in the mildest of win- ters. This statement is made in sci- entific faith. If the moths were seen then they were seen. It is thus that the moths can be con- trolled, for the little caterpillar houses can be snipped off during the winter ménths and burned. Anyone who has oceasion to journey through Massa- chusetts during the winter months must have seen men at work in or- chards and parks with pruning shears mounted upon long poles. No tree is apparently exempt from this moth, but its favorites are apple cherry, oak, maple. Sometimes apple trees show hundreds of the nests tipping the bran- ches all over the tree. 1 have iooked across a forest of maples and oaks and seen the surface of the tree-tops fairly grey in color because of the innumer- able nests. As soon as the leaves come out in the spring the little caterpillars rouse into activity and make a rapid growth, reaching maturity in late June. Rough cocoons are spun upon and about the trees. The moths emerge early in July, exist for a few days, lay their eggs and die. At this season the air of infect- ed regions carries millions of the poisonous barbs of the moths and these lodging in the clothing, find their way into the skin, where they set up the hottest combination of itch sensations the world possibly affords. The rash lasts from four days to one week, un- less further infections prolong the trouble. Some people are nearly proof against infection, but few are so blessed. Those who do suffer dread the wich unless seme unforeseen aid from Nat omes o us. Man cannot pos- sibly exterminate the {nseet. He can 4 and for this D ow of the fmsect and the more wi ow of the methods for keeping it in check, the better.De- every white meth yeu see, es- it ‘it has a brown bedy: Sus- t every dead cluster of leaves still cligging to the winter branehes. All such clusters will not contain the dreaded caterpillars, for we have native moths which create similar clusters of leaves, but no harm will come from the destruction of all. If ome of these clusters upon beong torn open reveals hundreds of emall, torpid cat- erpillars, then it ie beyond almost any doubt a brown-tafl nest.

AYRE. Feb. 4th, 1913. Mr, South Franklin. The Matter of Benefits. I read with real interest ‘W. Cary’s letter upon the benefits which accrue to the city be- cause of the securing of the Thermos Bottle company. First, let us look at the cost of 1t to the citizens. A pledged amount of above $75,000 as a gift. of which 560,000, according to Mr. Cary, has been subscribed. This $60,000 at 4 per cent. would yield an annual income of $2.400 a vear, or nearly $50 a week for all time: and this represents what it has and 'does cost to secure the indus- TY. o) The fact that the Thermos company has a school for learners here and is to pay out $300 a week is of real ad- vantage to Norwich, but if these work- ers only receive 60 per cent. of what the same class of employes received in New York, it is as much of a benefit to the company to do this as it is for the city to have them. Affirmations are not facts; hence Mr. Cary’s statementa that more tenements have been repaired than ever before, that zas I8 to be made cheaper because of the coming of this company, and several Norwich men have found em- ployment at higher salaries, need to be bolstered up with figures. A mere say-so doesn’t weigh a pound. In most citfes in New England dol- lar gas is compelled by law, because it is extortion to ask more for it, and at quite a number of points gas is S0 cents a thousand cubic feet. Tvery fair minded citizen desires the Thermos Bottle company should have all the credit due to it, but there is no necesity for exaggeration. It has cost th= city (or will) $10,000 or $15,000 to extend its gas and water mains to Thermosville, but as the in- terest is coming back Mr. Cary doesn't think this is worth mentioning, per- haps. Will Mr. Cary tell us what the aver- age outlay in repair of tenements is, and what the real increase is and ex- actly how many Norwich men are em- THE PEOPLE KNOW That Pe-ru-na Is a Good Catarrh Remedy S.
