[OLD SMITHY IS RUN
BY EIGHTH IN LINE
Stands Where Ancestor Built
It 250 Years Ago.
Essex, Conn.—When John Pratt,
|with'Jiis wife and children and his
[household goods, moved to this vil-'
lage In 1678 and set himself up as
a blacksmith, he scarcely would i
have imagined that 250 years later
there would still be a blacksmith
jshop in operation on the same spot
l and that the proprietor would be his
[lineal descendant.
j Hundreds of persons stop every
, summer to ask about what is said
| to be the oldest business in the coun
try that has always been in the
hands of one family and to talk to
James Lord Psatt, the present own
er and eighth generation from the
founder.
Jim Pratt is not sure how many
buildings the family has used In
conduoting the smithy business for
two and a half centuries. The pres
ent shop, he knows, was. built by
his grandfather eighty years ago to
take care of an iron business ex
panding with the building of clip
per ships on the Connecticut river
here.
“I shall have a shop which is
large and light," said that John
Pratt. "It shall have many win
dows and large ones. It shall be
of brick and it shall be large enough
for four forges."
Such a building was put up, and
It is still sound. It had windows
enough to permit work from day
break to dusk.1 It was large enough
to hold the year's supply of iroj,
brought in by boat in the autumn,
and once it did have four forges.
One was used for horse and ox
shoeing, cne for wagon repairing
and two for making iron mast bands
and other ship fittings.
Now modern machinery has been
Installed. An electric blower is con
cealed in the forge in place of the
old bellows, and the smith uses^a
power hammer more often than the
old anvil.
It is five or six years since
shod his last horse, and it is a qu:.
ter of a century since oxen were
shod in the shop.

Arctic Growing Warmer
With Aid of Tropic Air |
Moscow.—Professor V. Vize, Are '
tic scientist and explorer, has coin i
pleted a study dealing with the!
change of climate in the Arctic. Ac- '
cording to his studies, the mean an ■
nual temperature in the Arctic in
the regions adjoining the Atlantic
ocean has risen by two dei n 'i
during the last 17 years. Durmq
the winter the rise of temperature,
as compared with 17 years a > i
up to five degrees. On Franz
Land the temperature rise rcnchta,
seven degrees.
A noticeable recession of the pe
elers covering the Arctic islnn <«.
and a decrease in the quaniibes of
ice floating in the Arctic : ■ is is o j.
served together v a the warn r
temperature. Considerable thawi q
of ice is taking place in Spltzbcrn :
The change in climate occurri q
not only in the Arctic, but a iso in,
the temperate climate zone oI t u
U. S. S. '1 is explained by mere
into i ve i change of air between
tlu- p,.ur ! equatorial regions.
