COAL LAND VALUE
Northumberland County Peo
ple Believe Anthracite Is
Worth That Amount
Stinbnry, Pa., April 9. —Petitions
are being prepared, it is understood,
to ask the County Commissioners to
raise the coal land assessments in
Northumberland county, to some
where near the real value of the
properties.
It is generally agreed that the)
present assessment of $17,000,000 on j
all anthracite owned in Xorthum- i
berland county would be entirely to j
low, as compared with the leaps and j
bounds of anthracite values since the
war started.
If anthracite properties are to be
assessed at what they are really be
lieved to be worth, it is said, they i
would go up into the $10,000,000,000,
or more. But if it is raised to $30,-j
000,000 it will probably be resisted
in the courts.
T. Ellsworth Davies, Seranton. |
mining expert, says there are 3,803,-i
710,805 unmined tons of anthracite,
coal in Northumberland county. Fig- i
living this at $4. which is $2 under
the present lowest market price of
$6 a ton. the valuations of the coal
properties, it may be seen would
look like $12,000,000,000.

Newport, Pa., April 9. Report of
the viewers on the two and six-tenths j
miles of road along the east side of j
the Juniata river, from Amity Hall, I
northwest through Watts township, I
will he presented to Perry County
Court at its sessions this week, and
action will be taken on the proposed
opening of this road.
The section which it is hoped to,
have opened was viewed last Satin-1
day by J. I* L. Bucke, of Duncannon,
surveyor: Attorney J. C. Motter, New'
Bloomfield, and Ross Saltzer, of)
Greenwood township, named to view I
the road by the Perry County Court. I
The movement for the opening of!
this load was started by Newport
people and a Good Roads' Association
was formed here to further the move
ment. They have agitated the ques
tion of having the State take over
the road for improvement.
It is fully expected that the Court
will take action to open the road. In
that event, the matter will be reported I
to the State Highway Department,!
which is expected to take over the
section at once, action to this effect
not being previously taken because
of the fact that no road officially ex

UNIVERSAL SIGNAL j
By l*rofcssor Serviss
One of the objections offered by j
those who scout the V>. o suggestion'
of the possibility of inercommunica-!
ition by signals between intelligences j
inhabiting different planets is that j
j the electric waves diminish in in
tensity inversely a3 the square of
distance, imt • l.*ni d-• n, so
that their power to convey inipros
! sions must become almost iniinite
j simal at a distance of hundreds of
] millions of miles, to say not hi tig of
| the trillions of miles that revresent
the distance not of tlie plants of
jour system bat of the stars whiihi
i are the suns of other systems.
But this objection ignores the con-j
sideration that by depriving the
electric waves of their radiant scat
tering. and concentrating them In)
straight linos, like light reflected
from a parabolic mirror, the law of
diminution with the square of the
increased distance would be avoided
. and the intensity at the reception
point would depend only upon the
j absorption suffered in the course of
| transit, and not upon the scattering
j along diverging radical lines. Thus
i the radiant energy cmanntin from a
1 considerable surface could all be con-
I densed into a more or less parallel
j sided column, or cylinder, as is act
; ually done in lighthouse apparatus,
and elsewhere.
How much mechanical energy
would be required to generate elec
tric waves which, if thus sent forth
in a parallel beam, could still re
tain a readily perceptible force on
arriving, say, at Venus, when she is
between the earth and the sun, and
so not more than twenty-six or
twenty-seven million miles away
from us, is a question that Mr.
Marconi could answer better than
anybody else. It may not be sus
ceptible of a definite answer. But
still a fair idea of the energy that
would be needed could probably be
formed, anil Mr. Marconi, it would
seem, must have concluded already
from his experiences with wireless
apparatus that no insuperable diffi
culty would be found in that direc
tion. What might be insuperable
for us would not be so for intelli
gence that have obtained, through
evolution and education, a greater,
mastery than ours over nature's
forces.
Another question is as to the de
gree of sensitiveness required in or
der that electric waves that had trav
| ersed millions of miles of either
should be recognizable at the place
where they finally impinged. Also,
supposing them to travel in parallel
columns and'not along radical lines,
how much obstruction or absorption,
would they suffer? It is very easy,
and perhaps natural for scientists to
ge a little high-bound with regard to
such things. a great many years
ago. Lord Kelvin, whose academic
authority was so commanding that
whatever be said was generally ac
cepted without question. thought
that he had demonstrated the im
possibility that the sun could, by its
electro-magnetic disturbances, pro
! duce magnetic storms on the earth
| He also thought that it was scientific!
ally demonstrable that a man could
never achieve mechanical flight.
Very suggestive in connection with
this subject there arc some thoughts!
put forth many years ago by an un
named writer, presented to the pub-!
lie by Thomas 'Hill, who was presi-i
dent of Harvard University. Says
this interesting thinker:
"The rays of sight dherge from
I the eye so that in a very small body
close to the eye fills up the inter
val between two such rays, while
at a greater distance a much larger
body is necessary to fill up the
proportionately Increased space
If we hold up a quarter at arm's
lengt hwe may completely conceal
the sun with it. If, on the con
trary, an organ of vision was con
structed in such a manner that the
rays proceeded in parallel lines
every object would appear in pro
portion to every other of its own
proper size without any reference
to the distance between it and the
eye.
"We should certainly not see
distant, bodies entire, but only such
small portions of them as are pro
portionate to the size of the organ
of vision, constructed after this
fashion: but this little portion would
be visible with equal clearness at
every distance, and a blade of grass
pon the most distant star could not
escape our sight.
Thi sis the principle that we have
already mentioned, viz.: that of
changing radiant into parallel beams,
although the write! produces some
confusion of thought by supvosing the
change to take place in the eye In
stead of in the manner of transmis
sion of the light from the point of
heginning. For light, proceeding In
parallel lines from a blade of grass
on a distant planet, substitute elec
tric impulses conveyed in a similar
manner from a tran ■••.rutting station
on Venus, and you have the other
side of .lie picture—that suggested
by Mr. Marconi, viz.: a wireless re
ceiver on the earth responding to im
pulses transmitted undiminished,
or not enougn d'sniuislied to render
them imperceptible, from a center
of energy tens of millions of miles
away. The thing is certainly con
ceivable, and in its essence it con
tradicts neither the principles of
science nor those of common sense.
Can unybody be so blind us not to
see how the events of the last few
years have broken the fences on I
every Bide?

Women Need Swamproot
Thousands of women have kidney
and bladder trouble and never sus- J
pect it.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trou
ble. or the result of kidney or blad- J
der disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy 1
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss
of ambition, nervousness, are often
times symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physi
cian's prescription, obtained at any
drug store, may lie just the remedy
needed to overcome such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle
immediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test
this great preparation, send ten
ceUts to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
When writing be sure and mention
