Australia has an averaze pulation of two persons to ths asuare e RESULTS OF PROHIBITION In responfe to a . request from .the Willimantic: W. C. T. U. for some figures Wwith reference to the result of the prohi- bition amendment in the Willimantic po- lice court Judge Frank H..F the following reply: “In the firsc place as the mumber of cases, my figures in all instances being from the first of January, 1917, when 1 first took office until the present. In the two years before July first, 1919, the average number of cases in the police court was three hundred. The first year of prohibition there were 189 cams. This last year there has bysn 229. “I have sevarated the cases lore the police coifrt,in the last five years into. eighteen general headings. and I find that in all except four of these head- ings, the average for the five years is approximately the same. “The average of theft cases for the three years before prohibition was 23. The first year of prohibition there was but ecleven. This last year. which gas still nearly two months te rum, there have been thirty-seven. The average of motor vehicle ‘violations for the three was forty. There were thirty-six last year and there have already been sixty-nine this vear. The drunkenness cases averagze ome hundred sixty before pro Last year shere were forty-thre: and this year already seventy-one. The aver- age violations of the liquor laws before prohidbition were four, last year two, this year already thirty-six. The average receints turned over by the police court at the end of each quarter to the city treasury before prohibition was a littly less than $2.400. Last year we| turned over $1,886.86, and the fiscal year | just ended we have turned over xua:.sq.; In other words, the number of cases before the police court dropped about 100 the first vear of prohibition but have come nearly one-half way back this year. | The number of drunkenness cases also| dropped sharply to about 30 mer cent. in | the first year of prohibition, but neariy doubled this past vear. with two months vet to run. The cases of theft dropped also to about one-third, but are now back higher than before, while the violations of the liquor laws have been nine times | + bas made as many this year as the average of for-| ¢ mer years. The chief result of prohibition a= re flected in the local nolice court is a 30 per cent. drop in plain drunk cases. a| large increase in violations of the | liquor laws, and 2 100 per cent. increase | in the revenues. 1 have no way of accu | rately dei¢smining how much time is con- umed by the sessions of the court. but in my best judgment it is not less than and may be a trifie more now than three years | ago. will The Manufacture Pipe Templets.

TIDE MOTOR NEEDED Tide and wave motors were for many years in the Keeley motor and perpet- ual motion class, or their invent were to a large extent, at least. Ther. is-all the difference possible however between the so-called perpetual mo- tion efforts and those dealing with the tides, becauee in the latter case the power is visibly there. untold millions| of it, and the problem is simply to| | barness it, not create it. | Out of all the efforts covering more | than 200 vears very little has surv and no tide motor so far as known heen duplicated in a second place. And | vet fortunes have been spent and fai- | thful earnest work continued for many | years. To find the North Pole at one time seemed much less likely of ac- complishment. The honored Aiscover- er of the Pole passed into history sey eral vears ago, and the tide motor is still waiting. It would seem that the subject should | reccive a new and fresh start at this| time. Our coal fuel while by no means| exhausted has'been under restrictions during the dast year which tend to enlarge the view of what effective tide motors, which know no union r could do towards keeping the freezing people warm. The tides never go on strike. no matter what the justifics tion they work nights and Sundays and know no holidavs. True, they can deliver the heat light and power Iy ax far as electrical permits, but this is constantly heinz| extended. The tides are never snow bound, with no wheels turning for davs. | The vast tide-power piant planned | for erection on the river Severn to rost $150.600,000 and produce from half a million to a million horse power, ought to stimulate anew seientific and mech- | anical minds towards the perfection| of a universal tide motor which will transmission ADVANCE OF ELECTRICITY The American Society of Mechani- al Engineers has just been celebrating | its fortieth anniversary and Its journ- | al has dug from its archives the firs: president address delivered by the late Robert Thurston early in 1281, The year before had been signalized by the invention of the FEdison rarben| tiliament Jamp and Dr. Thurston pre- | dicted that for the ocecasional mild| light of the moon or the sickly flare| of the gas flame will be soon suh- stituted the lese unsteady and always| available and alwavs beautiful and mellow radiance of the electric - light.
