CHESTNUTS BY THE CARLOADS C. K. Sober, of Lewisburg, whose big Paragon chestnut farm in Irish Valley, near Shamokiu, has a nation al reputation, has just received a re markable offer from a dealer in Seut tle, Wash. The Seattle man wants to get into the chestnut business on a big scale and has made a proposal to Mr. Sober to buy his entire Some idea of what that means may bo glean ed from the statement that tiie chest nut farm covers foui hundred acres and contains more than one hundred thousand bearing trees. Mr. Sober lias not yet accepted the offer for the rea son that it is not the only one made him,although it is the only one which includes the entire season's yield. De mands for the Paragon nuts aie being received by the Lewisburg man from every section of the country and his success in the chestnut (business is in ducing many others in Pennsylvania and other states to try the experiment. Although much has been written concerning the wonderful qualities of the Sober Paragon chestnuts, yet the general public is in total ignorance of its great economic value. Conceive if you can a chestnut with all the sweet ness and flavor of the best native chestnut, five or six times as large, commencing to bear when three years old and bearing heavily every year. Afterwards, trees, strong, healthy, hardy and a rapid grower bearing from three to thirteen perfect nuts in each bur, ripening and falling out before the leaves fall and you have a faint idea of this marvelous production of nature perfected by cultivation and selection by Mr. Sober. This chestnut must not be confound ed with the Spanish or Italian chest nut, which have none of the great qualities of the Sober Paragon chest nut except size. It is believed to bo a sprout of one native species and was found growing near Germantown, Pa, hut has been greatly improved by the intelligent care given it by Mr. Sob er. Mr. Sober has a large nursery with young trees amounting to hundreds of thousands and cannot supply the de mand. His orchard is on an old natur al chestnut ridge originally covered with native chestnuts, huckleberries and stony, and the laud was compara tively worthless. Today it probably could not be bought for a thousand dollars an acre. Mr. Sober simply let the sprouts come up and grafted them to secure his tree. Mr. Sober is a man of wonderful energy anil versatility, a successful farmer, one of the largest dealers in timber, mine props and pulpwood in the country, the patentee and manu facturer of an Acetylene gas generat or, one of tlie first men to realize in the State the great possibilities of alfalfa and a large grower of the same. He is the best amateur shot in the United States, and his friends, who aie legion, would not be surprised to see him come out any time with an airship that would solve the question of air navigation. PAINTING INSPECTED j R. A. Simmons of Pottsville, who . recently finished painting the river ' bridge, was in this city Saturday on business connected with his contract 1 and was present at the meeting of tlie commissioners. The painting was inspected last I week. A few minor defects were de i tected but the job on tho whole was | considered a very satisfactory one. , The contractor lias agreed to make i good iu all respects and during the ! next few days the ironwork will be j touched up at a few points at Mr. Simmon's expense. A settlement was made Saturday, Installed Tungsten System. J. J. Newman has recently installed the Tungsten lighting system at his store. There are ten lights of (10 Watt pojwor in the windows and twelve ar ranged in two rows in the store,giving a very brilliant light. The fixtures are of the latest style anil the wliolle is a great improvement. Miss Blanche Lowenstein and Mrs. S. Lowenstein and grandchildren, Selma and Sidney Scliain, returned Tuesday evening from a sojourn at Atlantic City. George G. Keefer, proprietor of the Mill street store, left on Tuesday foi a business trip to New York City. How Jays Plsy Ken. In its most widely practiced form the basis of the Japanese game of ken is that the fully outstretched hand sig nllles paper, the fully closed hand a stone, and two fingers alone extended, the rest being closed, scissors. Each of the players, counting one, two, I three, throws out his hand at the mo- j ment of pronouncing three, and tho one whoso manual symbol is superior to that of the others, according to the theory of the game, wins the trial. Superiority is determined on tho hy pothesis that whereas scissors can not cut a stone they can cut paper and whereas paper Is cut by scissors it can wrap up a stone—consequently scis-1 sors are inferior to stone, but conquer paper; stone is Inferior to paper, but conquers scissors, and paper is Inferior to scissors, but conquers stone. There j are innumerable varieties of the game. The Only Thing They Ever Did. John lirlgbt's powers of sarensm were almost unrivaled. Some of his sharpest utterances were ngalnst mem bers of the nobility. When boasts had been made of the antiquity of a prom inent family, that their ancestors came over with the Conqueror, hlb reply was prompt, "I never heard that they did nuvthlnn else." WOMEN DEMAND SENSATIONALISM Japanese Editor Solves Amer ican Newspaper Secrets. STUDIES AFTERNOON EDITION. Kokumin Shinbun to Have One, So Chief Circles Globe to Study Meth ods —New York and Berlin Papers Local, While London and Tokyo Journals Are General In News. Women are responsible for the sen sationalism of American papers. The fact baa been divulged after a world study of the principal journals by G. Date, editor of the Kokumin Shinbun, Tokyo. Mr. Date is a shrewd, pains taking observer. His paper is a morn ing publication. It contemplates start ing an evening edition. Wherefore Mr. Date started around the world to find out Just how other countries made afternoon papers. He went across Siberia to St. Petersburg, thence to Berlin, London, Zurich, Po land, the Danube district In Austria, Vienna, Paris and back to London. After studying papers In these centers he came to the United States recently, and he has been an exceedingly busy man during that period. English Papers Not Local. "The papers in London," said he, "differ from the papers in New York. They have a general circulation throughout the kingdom. Tou have so many centers that your papers are lo cal and pay little attention to anything outside of your own neighborhoods.' Berlin is like New York. The papers are confined to local matters becauso the government Is a confederation like yours and there are many centers. "Our situation is more like that of the English. We have the second cir culation In the empire, printing 180,- 000 copies a day. Of these more than 100,000 papers go outside of the city into the provinces. We ore copying the American papers largely. "1 find that your papers are not daily papers—they are hourly papers. This makes It hard for you to verify all of your stories and accounts for many mistakes, but you can always correct them in the next edition. "Your palters aopeal more to women than to men as compared with other countries. Women aro sensational In their nature, and that makes your pa pers a little more sensational than those of other lands, I think. Women Cause Sensationalism. "Women in your country are very much more active than in any other place, and so your papers must bo more nctive and enterprising in pro viding for them, and therefore some times more sensational. "The policy of our paper is imperial ism. It is a political paper. But we have been friendly to the United States and have received many evi dences of the favor of the people. President Taft visited our office when he was in Japan, and when your fleet came to visit us an officer did us the favor to send us a wireless report of the fleet's whereabouts when there was much speculation about it In Tokyo. "We have four correspondents in America—one iu New York, one in Chicago, one in Washington and one in San Francisco. We have not as yet telegraph wires in our otlices, but expect to have them this year." DREAMED THE "BATTLE HYMN" Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's Birthday Re calls Incident. The recent celebration of the ninety first birthday of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, the famous American lecturer and authoress, recalls the fact that she actually dreamed tlie words of her stirring song, "Battle Ilytnn of the Republic." In ISOI, when the American civil war was at its height, some one sug gested to her that she should write some new words to the tune of "John Brown's Body." which they had heard the soldiers singing. Mrs. Howe re plied that she had often wished to do so. That night she went to bed and to sleep, as usual, but awoke suddenly In the early dawn to find, to her as tonishment. that the wished for lines were forming themselves In her brain. liising hastily, she secured a scrap of paper and a pencil and scribbled down tho verses, hardly conscious of what she wrote. 1 Then she returned to lied and im | mediately fell asleep again, not with out a feeling, however, that something important had happened to her. With in a few days tho "Battle Hymn" was on the lips of every supporter of the northern cause. Recovering. Thelora, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Newton Smith, Front street,who was operated on for appendicitis at the Joseph Ratti Hospital, Blooms- ! burg, about throe weeks ago, has re turuo Ito her home in this city.

Rowe started is suing bases on balls, allowed Blooms j burg runners to steal at will. There are two explanations for his conduot, and it is not believed anybody but \ Howe himself knows which is'correct. The great majority think be showed ; that yellow streak which on other oc | c a-ions has moved him to throw games away. Others claim that he was following instructions to keep the in ■ nings going until the rain prevented ' Danville from playing their half, so that Bloom's runs wouldn't count. Which ever way it was it resulted a three passes aud a hit in quick succes sion added to several stolen bases and a wild pitch which netted Bloomsburg J three more runs, or a total of five. | Finally Khodomoyer saw that the j innings must be ended and Danville play her half before Bloomsburg tal j lies would count. So he forced Hankin home and walked up to the plate him self and stood there until Umpire Wil -1 son called him out. Danville players, in a quandry | Whether to hurry things and try to 1 catch up in runs or to hold back and wait for the rain to call the seventh ; innings void,came in for their seventh time at bat. Hagy got a bunt hit and Veith flied ; out to center. Maekert then landed for a two bagger into center field which 1 scored Hagy. Kelly popped to second. Breunan, batting for Rowe, put a beautiful pinch hit into center field, which scored Maekert, when Unrlauf made the third out on a fly to second base. Ainsworth replaced Rowe for the eighth, with the darkness so thick the 1 people conld hardly tell which team was in the field. The auburn topped pitcher, who had defeated Bloomsburg the day before, fanned the side on nine smoke balls—and then the deluge. The furies of the storm which had been gathering since 1 o'clock broke with terrific force. Coming from the north the rain was driven into the grandstand and drenched the huddled spectators on the exterior to complete the discontent of the dampened spirits within. Tuose who lean toward the iutense in base ball had a surfeit from start to finish in Saturday's game. Danville's load of one run, made in the first, was likely to be overcome at any moment. Bloomsburg was playing a rattling game and backing up to per fection their new battery, Dougher ami Orossin, from up Scrauton way. It started in the first session when Livengood was caught at the plate by a throw from Rankin in deep centre that was one of the prettiest heaves ever seen on the local field. From then on the excitement grew. In the third Bloomsburg seemed sure to score, when Rowe ended the in nings by striking out Rankin, Bloom's surest hitter, leaving men on second and third. In the fourth again men were on second and third, this time witli but one out, when Veith retired the side with a double play unassisted. In the fifth a hit and an error again gave Bloomsburg chances which were nipped by Liveugood's quick heave to Veith to catch Dongher at third. So it went, too, on Danville's side In every innings except the second, the locals had men on the bases, and time , and again quick work by the visitors prevented scoring. Base ball is an uncertain game, and never so uncertain as when you are sure. The score: DANVILLE. AB. R. H. O. A. E.

St. Louis Inventor Expects to Carry In His Monster Airship a Hundred Pas sengers at One Hundred Miles an Hour—Machine Can Stand Still at One Spot In the Air Indefinitely. The incorporation of an aerial nav igation company ut St. Louis hag re vealed plans for a commercial passen- 1 ger airship that rivals the wildest dreams of Jules Verne. Officials of the company declare that within a year they will have a ship that will carry up a hundred passengers In a forty mile wind and at a speed of 100 miles an hour. The machine is the Invention of J. W. Oman, formerly of San Antonio, Tex., but at present at St. Louis. One is in process of construction in the shops of the Inventor at St. Louis. The inventor claims that his ship can start either from the land or water. He de clares it will ascend straight into the air or can be launched in the manner of an aeroplane. May Be Built In Any Size. The new airship is called a gyro plane. so named from the fact that it is a combination of gyroscope, the heli copter and the aeroplaue. Its pro moters say it can be built In any size from a two man runabout or a seven passenger touring car to a monster ofl the air that will carry fifty or a hun-! dred passengers. "A thirty or forty mile breeze would be a help rather than a hindrance to our machine," said the inventor the other day. "We will maintain abso lute equilibrium In anything short of a cyclone. The usual obstacles that prevent the flight of uu ordinary air ship will be as nothing to this machine i of ours." It is planned to construct machines that will maintain a regular service' between cities and states and evet : countries. Curries Pour Huge Propeller*. j The gyroscope and the helicopter are familiar principle* In heavier than air j navigation, but never before have they been applied in the manner employed j by Oman. The model of his ship fc fitted with four huge propellers, twelve | feet In diameter, which tuny be used i In turn for drawing the r .••"li.ne from ; the ground or carrying it through tho 1 air. The machine has been Inspected by j government engineers and pronounced | superior to all others. It Is declared. Ten patents have been granted, cover ing almost every feature of tho ma chine. The machine is to bo construct ed entirely of aluminium and macad am! te and besides carrying four propel , lers is fitted with two engines. The inventor asserts tho m/.chlne can be made to stand still at one. spot In the air for an indefinite time. "We 1 could drop a thousand bombs on a war ship from a height of two miles with out moving a foot." he declared. Oman has studied aerial navigation twenty years. KEG OF BEER STOLEN Four Danville men were arrested i Saturday at the instance of Special Officer Thomas Nevill of the D. L. & W. Railroad company charged with the larceny of a keg of I eer. The case was settled, however, before it went to a hearing. The keg of beer was abstracted from a D. L. & W. car while the latter was ■ standing near the station ou July 12th. 1 The men airested denied that they were implicated in the theft. They were passing the spot ou the night of July 12th, they averred, when they I were invited to join a party that had a keg. They protest that they had uo j idea that the beer had been stolen. Neither do they know wiio the men were that invited them to drink. They averted further trouble by reimburs ing the D. L. & W. Railroad company j for the beer. Serioualy 111.

Invita tions have been extended to President Taft, the governors of all the states and hundreds of prominent men throughout the nation. The first national good roads con gress was held at Chicago and Denver. The congress met last year at Balti more and Washington. The congress was opened last year by Cardinal Gib bons and addressed by Vice President | Sherman, Speaker Cannon, Senator Bankhead and many other disting uished men. It is expected that the coming con gress will be the largest in point of attendance yet held. A general notice and invitation is being sent to at least 100,000 owners of automobiles through out the country. Invitations have been extended to agricultural associations, granges, farmers clubs and every other botly of State, municipal or private character interested in the movement. Invitations have been extended to the mayors of the principal cities of the country urging the appointment of delegations to attend the meeting and many of these mayors have already ap ' pointed their delegates. A special ef fort is beiug made to interest the wo men's federations in the movement and clergymen tiave been urged to preach "good roads sermons." At the coming congress it will be , the aim of the National Good Roads association to advance the good roads movement and to prove to congress the feasibility of giving national aid to road construction as it does to the deepening of national waterways. Niagara Falls lias prepared to enter tain the thousands who will attend the convention and special attractions have been provided for the three days calculated to make the stay of the delegates memorable.
