A According to orders issued by the mayor and chief of police, the firing of explosives before 4 o'clock this morn- ing was unlawful. The same order says that no explosives must be fired after 11 o'clock of the night of the Fourth, and all members of the police department have had orders to see that the roder is carried out to the let- ter. There is a law against the use of canes, cannon and in fact any high explosive . likely to cause damage to property and loss of life or serious in- jury. The firing of “blanks” in revol- Vers or pistols, especially in the city streets, is absolutely prohibited and will not be tolerated. : In an effort to confine to_the mini- mum accidents and fires, Fire Chief Howard L.

Learn your nearest fire alarm box and ask someone to teach you how to send in an alarm if you have not been instructed. If you have a telephone in your home or place of business, it may be quicker to telephone to some fire station, being careful to give the correct locality and number of house. Place the numbers of the fire depart- mene telephones on vour instrument so as to be ready. These should always be there ready for emergency. Connect your garden hose and have it ready. Also bring your ladder from the barn nad have it ready to get to the roof of your house, where most of the trouble will be. 3 Finally be on the alert, as the sale of fireworks is increasing and the number of fires on July 4 is increasing with the sale, remembering that Nor- wich is a city of shingled roofs.

When the state highway commi: sioner learned of this projected ar- rangement, he at once said that this seemed to promise a delay in his that the Shore Line would bear the expense of laying about 100 feet of track throush the concrete approach at the Groton end of the bridge and 1,600 feet at the New London end at an expense of $8,000.

In a communication to the National Geographic Society Dr. Bell describes how he tricked the thermometer out of some 35 degrees—and you can try this out on your own home, if you are “handy” about the house: “We go up to the Arctic regions and eat our houses and live,” he explains. /e go down to the tropics and die. “I have found one radical defect in the construction of our houses that absolutely precludes the possibility of cooling them to any great degree. You will readily understand the difficulty when you remember that cold air is heavier than warm air. You take a bucket of cold air, for example, and carry it about in the summer time and not spill a drop; but if you make a hole in the bottom of your bucket, then, of course, the cold air will all run out. “I began to think that it might be possible to apply the bucket principle to at least one room in my Washing- ton home, and thus secure a place of retreat in the summer-time. It seem- ed to be advisable to close up all open- ings near the bottom of the room to prevent the escape of cold air and open the windows at the top to let out the heated air of the room. “Now, it so happens, that I have in the basement of my house a swim- ming tank, and it occurred to me that nce this tank holds water, it should certainly hold cold air; so I turned the water out to study the situation. The tank seemed to be damp and the sides felt wet and slimy. 1 however, that the con- moisture resulted from the sides of the tank reflected, of a ion the fest t were cooler than the air admitted. Water vanor will not condense on any- thing that is warmer than itself, and it occurred to me that if I introduced air that was very much colder than I wanted to use, then it would be warming up in the tank and becoming speaking of an ice plant that had been installed in the White House and con- gratulated the president, then Mr.| Taft, upon a temperature 6f only 80|= degrees when the thermomieter show- ed 100 degrees outside.
