The matter of the acceptance of the’

' tee with power.
Councilman Smith presented the fol-
' lowing resolution'which was adopted:
VOTED, That the Mayor be-and be
hereby is authorized in behalf of the
' Mayor and Council to sign an agrees
~ ment between the Mayor and Council
and the Norwalk Street Railway Com-
pany relative to the adjustment of the
matter of difference arising in the ap-
peal of the Norwalk Street Railway
' Company, said agreement to be signed
subject to its ratification at a city meet-
ing to be called for that purpose.
The Council then adjourned.
SOUTH No’fiWALK COUNCIL.
The meeting of the South Norwalk
city council was called to order by
Mayor Lee with all the councilmen
present. Attorney Light was also
present and occupied his new desk
recently procured for him by vote of
the council. The minutes of the last
meeting were read by assistant clerk
Tammany :and approved. On motion
of Councilman Hatch, E. H. Fox, rep-
resenting the “Good Roads Committee”
of the Twin City Wheelmen, presented
a map of the new Telford road and ex-
plained the benefits of extending the
work 500 feet to Stuart avenue. Mr.
Fox explained that the selectmen were
waiting until the city appropriated $300
before forwarding the map to the State
Higaway Commissioners. Commodore
Burritt followed with a request that the
money beappropriated.
Jacob Shaub appeared and requested
thatacity meeting be called to take
action on the Woodward and Lowndes
avenue improvements. He was fol-
lowed by J. H. Patterson, who made a
similar request.
R. H. Golden referring to the Telford
road again, said it would be 8300 well
expended, as it would make an improve-
ment in one of the worst road sections
of the city. He thought it unwise to
refuse an appropriation because in win-
ter this piece of road was impassable.
Other councils had endeavored to re-
‘pair it but found‘it could not be done
for less than from $500 to $800 and as
it was now offered to be done for $300
the city should close the bargain. Upon
motion of Councilman Ferris, seconded
by Pearson, the $300 was appropriated.
Councilman Pearson moved that a,
citymeetiug be called for next Tues-
day evening, which was adopted. It
was further ordered that an appropria-
tion of $4,594.68be recommended to said
meeting, for sewers on Woodward, and
Lowndes avenues and Meadow street.
Charles F. Hallock appeared and re-
quested that two' clerical errors made
bv the assessors be corrected, after-
which he asked that Woodward avenue
be at once put in condition. Commo-
dore Burritt followed and said it was
necessary to wear rubber boots in win-
ter when walking on that avenue.
R. H. Golden called attention to the
sand under the Washington street rail-
road bridge which was blown by the
wind into people’s eyes, nostrils and
lungs and forcing the closing of win-
dows, etc. _
R. H. Rowan urged that the railroad
be asked to fix their sand enbankment
on Railroad Place and said they would
do the rest. John W. Scully said a com-
mittee of five had been appointed for
this purpose and Messrs. Rowan and
Golden were on that committee, and
asked why they had not attended to it.
A long discussion followed.
Upon motion of Councilman Hutch-
inson the street commissioner was or-
dered to clean up Railroad Place. Bills
amounting to $355.21 were ordered paid.
. The committee of three appointed at
the last council meeting to .appraise
benefits and damages. on Railroad
Place, consisting of R. H. Golden, Tall-
madge Baker and John H. McMahon,
tendered their resignations which were
accepted and Edward Beard, J. W.
7 Powell, and T. I. Raymond were ap-
pointed in their places.
A petition from residents on the east
side of the Washington street carriage
bridge, asking for 500 feet of hose, was
referred to the committee on fire de-
partment} ‘
Railroad Place deeded to the city by
the railroad company was declared a
public highway and a vote of thanks
Was passed to property holders favoring
said highway for the donation of their
property at Whistleville.
It was voted that a sum not exceed-
ing $4,600 be recommended to the city
meeting to be appropriated for the
Woodward and Lowndes avenues 'and
Meadow street sewer.
The committee on streets reported
favorably on Reed street and the street
was accepted by the city. Councilman
Kendall spoke-of the recent visit of the
State health officer to Bouton street,
I.-'aCOUIIc‘ILen-continued.it"
Councilman Pearson called up the'res-‘y
olution promoting office; George W.
Glfistone' to the vacancy-of Captain
and it was passed unanimously.
Upon motion the Water Commis-
sioners were authorized to lay a six
inch Water pipe ’on Reed street, after
which the meeting adjourned.

LUNAR C‘PfioroeeAPI-Is. ““
Yet Taken Are Reported
The Largest
» from Paris.
The observatory of Paris possesses a.
telescope by means of which photo-
graphs of celestial bodies of remarka-
ble size and clearness can he taken.
By the aid of this great instrument,
says the Philadelphia Press, the as-
l
tronomers of the observatory have just .
taken a series of photographs of the
moon’s surface which are said to be' the
largest ever obtained. . -
The value of the lunar photographs is
very great to astronomers. Formerly
they went to infinite trouble in sketch-
ing aspects of the moon, and two per-
sons seldom produced drawings of the
same thing which were not contra.-
dictory. The incessant changes in the
moon’s surface caused by the rays
of the sun complicated the draughts-
man’s task. The most detailed chart
of the moon ever obtained was of a
diameter of 6 feet. J. Schmidt, of the
observatory of Athens, passed the years
from 1840 to 1874 in completing it. '
The’ photographic method alone gives
indisputable results. 'No details es-'
cape and the proofs agree absolutely.
The subsequent enlargement gives a
photograph of about the same size as
the largest charts of the moon made by
hand. The portion of the moon’s sur-
face photographed is remarkable for a.
great series of craters, .which pass from
the center to the south of the earth’s
satellite. At the bottom of the photo-
graph is the great circle of Ptolemaeus,
of which the actual diameter on the
moon’s surface is estimated to be 124
miles. The height of its circular ram-
part is said to be 11,700 feet.
Immediately above is Alphonsus, 85
miles in diameter, with. a. central peak
3,600 feet high. To the left is Alba.-
tegnius, with a. diameter of 67 miles
and a peak toward the northeast 13,500
feet high. A narrow crater, called Al-
petragius, to the southeast of Alphon-
sus, has a. depth of 10,950 feet. Thebut
is 9,000 feet. The photographs will
form part of a. new complete map of the
moon’s surface which it is proposed to
make.
HISTORY REPEATED.
THE first newspaper advertisement
appeared in 1652. ‘
THE first president to occupy the
White house was John Adams.
' UNTIL 1776 cotton spinning was per-
formed by the hand-spinning wheel.
THE first lucifer matches were made
by John Walker, at Stockton, England,
in April, 1827. , «. ; __
