An Important Matter.
At the next city election the people at
South Norwalk will decide whether or
not they will engage in the business of
commercial electric lighting. T he
Council has voted favorably twice on the
measure. and its submission now to the
people fulfills the requirements of the
law. It is an important matter, and
ought to be ireely discussed between now
and the day of election. South Norwallr
has been very successful in everything it
has undertaken of this character. and the
people. we believe, are favorably dispos-
" ‘ ed toward commissions when practic-
able. Our muncipal lighting has been a
marked success. We have better lights
and the expense is less than when we
were furnished by the Electric Light
company. The proposed extension of
thlebusinessto commercial purposes is
what we are called upon to now con.
sider, and it deserves very careiul con.
sideration The city must look to its
Electric Light Commissioners for guid-
ance in this matter, and a statement
from them ought to be made. The peo-
ple should have the lullest information

oi'aomcthing in the atmosphere, which
is a truly scientific conclusion, and he
would examine these particles under a
microscope and see whether there were
any diatoms among them. There might
be dintoms, but the suggestion that the
earth is passing through the tail of a
comet has nothing in it. the scientist
says—neither the tail nor the suggestion.
Now, we don‘t know a mortal thing
about diatoms, and we don't cure any-

The air is almost as full of solid particles
as if there had been at volcanic eruption

the smoke from the forest iircs that have
been kindled in consequence of the ow-

wind that the dust knows no better than
to just flout around and muddle the
