IN JUST ONE GLASS.
A drinking glass used in a school
for mine days was recently put un-
der a miscroscope and here is what
was found:
“The human cells scraped from the
lips of
on the upper third of the glass that
the head of a pin could not be placed
anywhere without touching several of
these pieces of skin.
“The saliva, by running down on
the inside of the glass, had carried
cel’s and bacteria to the bottom. BY
counting the cells present on fifty dif
ferent areas on the glass as seen uin-
der the microscope, it was estimated
that the cup contained over 200,000
human cells or bits of dead skin.
As many as 150 germs were seen
clinging to a single cell, and very few
cells contained less than ten germs.
Between the cells were thousands of
germs, left there by the smears of
saliva deposited by the drinkers. Not
less than one hundred thousands bac-
teria were present on every square
inch of the glass.
A very nice clean glass this! And
yet in almost every school house to-
day are similar glasses out of which
our children drink.—Ladies Home
Journal.
Every teacher in charge ought to
make this a part of her school house
keeping. , :
All schools should have individual
drinking ‘cups with ample handles
thereon.
The things that come to those who
wait, sighs the New York Times, are
the things no one else wants.
“In connectior with ‘humbug,’ ‘bug:
bear’ and ‘gold bug’ it may‘ be ob-
served,” says the London Chronicle,
“that the last has probably no direct
suggestion of ‘terror’ to the American
mind. ‘Bug’ is freely used in Ameri-
ca for any’ kind of insect, Our Eng-
lish word, however, is directly affili-
ated to the Celtic word, which meant
a demon or bogey. It is conjectured
that when the objectionable insect be-
came acclimated here, which was not
many centuries ago, the terror of ‘its
attacks earned it its name. We get
‘bug’ in its old sense in Shakespeare
— This Warwick was a bug that
feared us all’and ‘the terror by night’
is ‘bugge by nyght’ in old bibles.”
It is mere childishness, maintains
the Philadelphia Record, to pretend
‘ that the effort to secure a later inau-
guration day has nothing behind it
except the interests of Washington ho
tels and boarding houses. Their inter-
ests are merely the interests of the
100,000 people or more—possibly 200,-
000 people—who go from all parts of
the country to see a president take of-
fice. It is not simply a recreation or
a show. It is a good deal of a politi-
cal education to visit Washington
when an administration changes. This
country covers a vast area, and the
one danger is the lack of contact be-
tween the people and the national
government. The practice of going to
see ar inauguration ought to be en:
couraged. The house judiciary com:
mittee acted unanimously in favor of
a measure to change the date from
March 4 to the last Thursday cof Ap-
ril. On account of prolonging the pres-
idential term it requires a constitu-
tional amendment, and while it is al-
most impossible to get the constitu-
tion amended, the fact that no one
can have any motive for opposing
the proposed change encourages the
belief that if congress will do its part
three-fourths of the states will do the
rest.

It has been well said and truly said
that ‘““the pen is mightier than the
sword,” and the saying applies even
more forcib® to the human tongue,
which was very much in evidence and
had wrought a world of good and evil
—of blessing and cursing—many
cycles ere pen and ink were known.
It is the tongue, maintains the Balti-
more Sun, of the eloquent orator and
enthusiast that has, in all ages,
cited men to deeds of wondrous dar-
ing and heroism; and it is the tongue,
too, of fiery marplots and demagogues
that has led to the most disastrous
upheavals in the world’s history.

Only the experts understand that
the North Pole and the North Mag-
netic Pole are two entirely different
things. As a matter of fact, instructs
the Chicago Tribune, there are few
localities on the earth’s surface where
the compass points due north. The
reason is because the North Magnetic
Pole or area lies in the vicinity of
King William’s Land, just off the
Arctic ‘coast of North America in
Bothnia. When this magnetic pole is
between us and the North Pole the
ccmpass points due north. As we go
. either east or west from this line
it is easy to see that’the compass is
off to a certain degree. If we were
to travel north of the magnetie pole
the needle would point south, west of
it the needle would point east. Sir
James Ross in 1831 located the North
Magnetic Pole approximately at a
point up in Bothnia. In 1903 Captain
Roald Amundsen in the ship Gjoa sst
out on a three vears’ expedition, relo-
cated the magnetic pole and made the
“Northwest Passage” for which mar-
iners have striven since the days of
Henry Hudson. Terrestrial magnetic
force is different in every part of the
earth's surface and is not always the
same at ven point. It is subject
to regular daily and yearly changes.
Amundsen posted himself near the
seat of the magnetic power and for
nineteen months, day and night, with
his party, took readings of their in-
struments, both inclination and de-
clination. Ee also made short excur-
sions into the region of the magnetic
pole and was able by the aid of the
declination observations to prove that
the magnetic North Pole does not
have a stationary situation but is con-
tinually moving. But the general lo-
cation is where Sir-James Ross first

} SURVEY MADE FOR NEW ROAD
Prospect Men Will Build Trolley Line
to Butler.
Butler—Because land owners at
Unionville, near here, ask too much
for the right of way, the Pittsburg,
Butler, Slippery Rock & Northern
Railway Company will build a mile
west of town. Citizens of Prospect,
three miles west of the through route,
have raised funds to promote a branch
line.
A corps of 15 surveyors under Bag:
neer J. H. Barret of Pittsburg, start
ed the final surveys. The road cross-
es the Western Allegheny near Isle
12 miles west of here. The project
is a part of a through line between
Butler and Conneaut Lake, and it is
understood will connect with the Pitts-
burg and Butler line here.

Many Venango County People Going
West.
Franklin—The last month has wit-
nessed the exodus of mary persons
from Venango c#anty to California.
One day last week 17 left Franklin.
Many are members of old families.
The exodus is attributed largely to
the decrease of 43 cents in the price
of Pennsylvania crude oil. This fall-
ing off has caused the producers to
reduce the wages of drillers, pumpers,
tool dressers, etc., who now seek more
profitable fields.
Pastor's Resignation Nct Accepted.
Washington—At a congregational
meeting of Bethel Presbyterian
church at Van Buren the members re-
pastor,

Greenville—The Bessemer & Lake
Erie Railroad Company will spend
$1,750,000 his summer in cutting
down grades on the line between Con-
neaut harbor and the
the Pittsburg district. Improvements
at the general shops of the company
here, costing $500,000, are well under
way.
Judge Graham Is Apprehended.

JUDGE DECIDES AGAINST
' EXPRESS CO. LIMITATION
Holds $50 Rule for Property Destroy:
ed Is Not Public Pcalicy.
Washington—According to an opin
ion handed down by Judge J. A. Mc
Ilvaine, the $50 limitation of the
American Express Company on goods
destroyed while in the company’s care
is against public policy. The opinion
was rendered in the case of Mrs, Ma:
bel Howard against the American Ex-
press Company to recover on goods of
the plaintiff, which were destroyed by
fire while in the hands of the com-
pany.
The goods, which had been stored
in Pittsburg, had been shipped to
Youngstown, where they were burned
while in the express company’s ware-
house. At the trial the company held
that its liability was limited to $50
by reason of the conditions attached
to the receipt given the plaintiff by
the company’s agent. The court held
tmat the company was- guilty of negli-
gence, and that the receipt given the
plaintiff does not limit the plaintiff's
right to recover above $50. Judgment
was entered in favor of the plaintiff
in the sum of $387, as fixed by the
jury which heard the case.
PARENTS GET CLUE TO
/
WHEREABOUTS OF SON
Letter Believed to Come From Him
Starts Father on Hunt. :
Sharon—“I am lying in bed with
both legs and an arm broken, but do
not know where I am, other than a
can see the Ohio river from my win-
dow and steamships passing up and
down.”
The above is the substance of a let
ter, postmarked Beaver, received by
Oliver Ehrhart, and he has started on
a hunt to learn the whereabouts of
his son Leonard, the writer of the let-
ter. The only clue he has is the post-
mark.
Leonard Ehrhart is 23 years old and
left home several months ago to work
on a railroad near Pittsburg. No word
had been received from him until the
letter was received. The father is of
the opinion that the boy has met with
an accident and that he is trying to
keep his whereabouts a secret. Mr.
Ehrhart left for Beaver. The Beaver
authorities say they know nothing of
the whereabouts of the young man but
have promised to investigate.

In the declaration of the New York

the “advance in food prices is due
solely to the natural relations of sup-
ply and demand” there is only one
error, avers the Indianapolis News.
Instead of “natural” the adjective
should be “unnatural.”
