R. Agllo ledln has recently made some experiments in an endea- vor' to obtain definite information ' on the subject, which experiments he has described in a letter to The Surveyor. Six days after treatment Uof the road with a tar preparation, “which gave it a good surface and. greatly reduced the amount of dust. he collected a sample of washing from the ,road by swahblng it with cotton-wool to mix the water and dust in an attempt to reproduce the conditions which would exist during a fine steady shower when consider- able traffic was passing. The mod thus obtained was mixed with road Washings from a gully. making a sample as strong as the strongest of ‘road ‘washings. A portion of this‘ polluted water was diluted to 26 “per cent. and some stickiebacks. tadpoles. goldfish and screenheetles. are placed therein. After 24 hours all were alive and healthy except two stickiebacks which were dead. The strength of the water was increased to a 60‘per cent. mixture. and= more ' sticklebacks and some newts were in- ’ troduced. The sticklcbacks all died in 24 hours, but after 48 hours all the others were perfectly uninjured. In undiluted road-washings the fish all died in one hour. The same fate met those which were placed in road-wash- ings from which the mud had been strained out. Codflsh. sticklebncks. tadpoles and newts lived for 24 hours in a mixture of one part of the pure preventive to 5,000 parts of water: but the gold fish died. when the strength was doubled. in all cases air was , _ blown through the water at intervals. .' and portions were removed and poured back through a. few feet of air, to pro- vide aeration. By introducing some ,' ordinary water bacteria in the various dilutions of the preventive, Mr. Dib- din found that a 26 per cent. solu- tion was not germicidal. He calcu- lates that if one inch of rainfall flow- ing oi! should remove one five hun- dredth of the preventive as it is or dinarily placed upon the road. the solution would have a strength of about one in two thousand. He con« eludes that while his experiments do not condemn the use of tarry substances on the roads, they indi. cats the necessity for investigation." iNHERITANCE TAX LAW, W The Commissioner Collecting lnfoo motion From other “It” By an not passed. by the last Gen- eral Assembly. the Connecticut inheri- tance tax nubile to "share of the capi- tol stock or. registered bonds of all corporations organised and. existing . studio the laws of this state. the certi- ’ flutes of’whlch stock or which bonds , shall be without the state, where the ‘ laws of. the state or country in which , ouch decedent .rcsided shall, at the ‘ timoof his decease. impose a succes- ' slob. inheritance. transfer or simi- lar in upon the shares of the capital 1% unregistered bonds of all our- ion organized or existing under . e lulu of‘such - state or country. held under such conditions at their do _, m by rfiidents of this state."

Porter and was followed by the audience with interest. A highly interesting address on “Our Early Ancestors" was given by Dr. Samuel Huntington. of Norwaik, and is here given: Dr. Huntington's Address. . In speaking of our early ancestors I do not intend to give you a series of biographical sketches. I leave that task to our family historian and gone aloglst. Nor do I intend to dwell en- tirely on those of our name and kin, but rather to take a broader view of the subject and consider the class to which they belonged and learn from the history of their associates what were probably their predominating traits. One of the few fanrlly relics in by possession, handed down by father to son through several generations. is a Bible formerly belonging to my great. great grandfather. Dr. Jonathan Hunt- ington. of Windham. 0n the blank pages of the book is written a family record, in which the writer says, alluding to Simon Hunt- ington. "He was, a religious Puritan and under prosecution with many oth- ers in those days." Who were the Puritans? What manner of men were they? What were their endeavors and failures? It by searching the history of their times we can discern the answers to these and similar questions we shall have in these answers a mental pic- ture of our ancestors who probably differed in no‘ essential from the men if their class and period. in the early days. when kings ruled by Divine right. when church and state were. one. when politics was re- ligion. and religion was politics; in England. where free thought had al- ways existed and also where free speech had always been practical to some extent, though it sometimes led the speaker to the stake or scaffold; as a natural growth of the Protestant reformation there arose a sect or party who, believing the word of God re- vealed in the Holy Scriptures a higher law than the edicts of kings or the tradition of the churchmen. strove to protect the rights of the people from encroachment and to purify the church from superstition and what they believed to be idolatry and to es» tabllsh a higher standard of honesty in public affairs and to order the af- fairs of their daily lives according to the tenets of the scriptures. A grand conception and noble aim. Can this century show anything grander or nobler? They were sub- jects of their king and devout mem- bers of the established church. A stro 3, popular party standing on a plat orm whose planks were the vital issues of the day and whose aim was not revolution but reform. Their leaders were the advanced thinkers of their time and coufntbll‘g o . a men of the age. They did not expect mlorstlon of their principles by the party in post/er. nor did they intend to tolerate principles differing from their own should they become the dominant part . a: yet the idea of religious tolera- tion had been considered only as a matter of philosophical speculation and was unknown in illurope in any practical shape. As early as the reign of Queen Elizabeth their influence was great enough to sway the policy of that sovc lgn lo a more pronounced protest that she seems to have first in- tended. _ The persecution under which the Puritans suffered in the days when our first accustomed England was the at. tempt of Archbishop Land. acting un- der direction of King Charles l. to re- duce the English church to complete uniformity of ceremonial.

The first company, those who settled at Plymouth. the Pilgrims, so called. were independ- ents. a denomination holding more ad- vanced and liberal views on religious freedom and tolerntlon than the main body of the Puritans. less desirous of forcing their particular doctrines and religious system on those who differed from them. Seeking only a quiet place where they could develop their theories of religion and civil govern- ment without opposition or interfer- once. Of course the Puritan immigrants were not all of the some denomination as the Pilgrims. but I believe this. later element was strong enough to modify ere long the general opinions of the Puritan class, and it is the opinions of this element that finally pgevailed in New England. They were not a weak, timid peo- ple fleeing in terror from a gathering storm they feared to face. The task of colonizing New England nleant fac- ing not only the hardships of pioneer life but engaging in the war of con. quest and, as it proved, of extermina— tion. with the natives who inhabited the country. savages whose method of warfare was treachery and murder. who tortured their prisoners and put to death all who fell into their hands. women and children as well as men. The early Puritan settlers were men of courage and determination setting out to conquer the wilderness and its savage people and establish a place of refuge whither their. brothers ’mlghi flee should the powers of evil prevail. If we study carefully the history of the Puritan experiments in self-gov- ernment during the early years bf these New England colonies we find much that is interesting. and are astonished when we see how many of our present principles of government originated with and were developed by them. The people of Connecticut began their career as a separate colony by adopting a constitution, the first one written out as a complete form of civil order in the New World. it embodies all “the essential features of the con- stitutions of the American states and of the republic itself as they exist at the present day. it is the free repre- sentative plan which characterizes the country.” In this constitution the only authority recognized was the "su- preme power of the commonwealth." And this was the power governing Connecticut during nearly a quarter of a century. That is to say, in its earli- est days the Puritan settlers of Con- necticut declared and maintained their independence. The charter they later obtained from Charles ll. made such liberal provision for self-government that our state was able to use it in lieu of a constitution until 1818. The study of those (the constitution of 1683 and charter of 1662) and the early statutes which were mild. just. and by no means intolerant, gave us a remark. ably accurate knowledge of the chur- nctor and aims of the founders of our state. They wore Puritans and in hearty sympathy with the English Parliamentary party, as was shown by the giving of shelter to the reglcldes bvtthe people of New Haven. Thclr strong determination to maintain the independence of their colony was shown in their refusal to surrender their charter to Andross. the royal governor. Yet more tolerant and more liberal in their selfenacted laws than either the English Puritans or the Puritans of Massachusetts they exem- plify in their acts the tendency of Puritanism when unrestrained by re- strictive laws and the presence of dis. seniors from its faith to develop along the lines of free. government. and relig- ious toleratlon. ‘ The authentic history of the ances- tors of our family really begins with Simon and Christopher. two of the sons of the first Simon. and is nearly contemporaneous with the beginning of the Puritan settlements of Connecti- cut. That these two ancestors of ours and their descendants during the co- lonial period were typical Puritans is shown by the family history and tru- dliion. Simon was a deacon and in the next two generations the propor- tion of deacons to the number of the family was strikingly large. and later. while the number of (lessons was not decreased. we find with increased ed~ ucatlonal opportunities a remarkably large proportion of them of our name enter the ministry and an equally large proportion of the Huntington daughters marry ministers. if we search the faded and tlmeultained rec- ords of the ancient towns of Connecti- cut we find that from the time that the names of Simon and Christopher first appear among the founders of this town of Norwich Huntingtons are found so frequently in town olllcs and in positions of trust as to show that. an a family. they were discharging their share of the duties of citizen- ship in the communities where they lived and most certainly have been representative men. The preceding rc- msrku regarding the Puritans of Con- nccticut i believe can be lustly applied in our early ancestors. and i believe that they were ty icsl Puritans. and the Puritan type Ingcred long in our family. Probably there is not one of us here present who has. passed mid- dlc age but remembers. as i do, that in his boyhood days there were still living aged kinsmen who by their acts. their speech and their unfelgncd piety secmud'to be one of the colonial Puri~ fans yet lingering two centuries after the men of their generation had passed away. .

A notion which has taken a great hold of Parishioners and which will de- vclop in popularity, is the fed to wear odd coats and skirts says Dress. The idea is being ken up by they who launch early fibticls for the :fitumn and they will doubtless become pretty general. A likely style is a cape- fushionod coat-like bodies in velvet and silk intended to be worn with a cloth skirt. Many of the new chemisettes are a combination of lace and velvet and the touch of black'or other color gives character and adds warmth. Don't throw away your Chamois gloves that are wearing out. Save them to put on your hands at night after smearing them with cold cream to keep them soft and white. New York seems to have gone mad over chamols gloves. There is no glove at the present. moment for which there is so great a demand. W People have lots of short-sleeved waists and coats yet to be worn out and for a considerable time long glow es will be in demand. but all tailored and most fur coats will have long slee— ves and these cell for short gloves of course. But in New York this does not mean one and two button but. eight button gloves and probably the style will obtain in Norwaik. too, at least among the warmer contingent who will be loth to give up the glove that wrinkles about the wrist.
