The accident occurred in the prop

moved through the spaces between the
. timbers, the heavy props suddenlv.
rushed and Joseph was instantiv
squeezed to death. His brother has

Mr. Auerbaeh, after pointing out the

His Own Medicine
A certain barrister named Jones who
practiced in Lord Brougham's time was
in the habit of commencing the exami
nation of a witness with these words,
"Now, sir, I am going to put a ques
tion to you, and I don't care which
way you answer it."
Brougham, like many others, was
growing tir»»d of the monotonous formu
la, and one morning, meeting Jones
near the temple, he addressed him thus:
"Now, Jones, I am going to put a ques
tion to you, and I don't care which
way you answer it. How are yout"—

CnttiM< FNB First Fi|%
the selection of Mr. Knisely ns presi
dent and Mr. Todd a* sec retarv, and
secured the service* of ti-eorge K. Kt*
ter as real estate expert.
The commission wasted no time in
beginning business and on February
16. 1913, within two weeks after
startiug work, it had purchased two
properties, those of ,1. K. Hutchison,
617 North street, and Anna V. Weav
er, 2-S (Pilbert street. Since then the
work of takin;; over the pro|»erties
ami selling them has gone steadily on
until the 440 have been taken over,
the majority of which have been torn
down, making a <big hole in the Eighth
ward.
On Pdbruary IS, 1913, Spencer C.
(ri)bert was appointed a member of
the commission to take the place of
Arch. G. Knisely, whose untimely
death was mttch regretted because of
his fine knowledge of real estate in
Harrishurg, and hie r.eal in the work
of securiug the properties. Mr. Gilbert
was elected president of the commis
sion.
The ares of the Capitol Park exten
sion is 27 acres, which includes the
cross streets vacated by the city, a
conclusion cheerfully made bv the city
to add to the symmetry of the park.
There will be sufficient streets traverse
the park to accommodate traffic, so
that the city has lost nothing by its
concession. The area of the present
Capitol Park is about 14 acres, so
that the proposed extension is almost
twice that of the present park.
Among the big purchases recently i
made by the commission was the j
Bagle works of the Hickok Manufac- I
turing Company, covering a vast area ]
at the lower side of the plot aloug !
the railroad. There still remain several
other large properties to take over. !
The amount asked of the present Leg
islature to complete the work is $300,-
000, or fifteen per cent, more than
the original appropriation. Since
every member of the Legislature is in
terested in seeing the work completed
it is expected that the sum asked for 1
will be given.
It is interesting to note that of the I
many purchases of property made none
were acquired toy condemnation pro
ceedings and every property owner,
while demanding more for his property
than the commission was willing to
give, has expressed satisfaction over
the sale. In fact the commission is j
composed of hard-headed business
men, who have full information as to i
the values of the properties purchased '
and in no instance did they deviate
trom the value they decided to paw
The State has put some of the I
buildings to good use, converting them !
into office buildings when the offices j
at the Capitol were crowded, and at '
present there are housed on the ex- j
tension in good buildings, the State I
Live Sto.k and Sanitary Board, sev
eral divisions of the Public Service
Commission, inclining the engineering
division, a storage building tor the
State arsenal, the Department of the
Distribution of Public Documents and
the State Garage.
Jupiter Warner Thau the Earth
"The gigantic mass of Jupiter has
a much larger warmth than that of the
earth," says a scientific writer. "It is
the result of the molecular movement
produced by the compression of the
strata and must be greater the more
powerful the masses and hence the
larger the pressure of the strata is.
Jupiter surpasses tiie earth in point of
mass 301 times, and for this reason
(■he inner temperature or individual
warmth of the planet is probably high
enough to evaporate the water upon the
surface quieklv, so that water vapor
forms the principal substance of the
atmosphere of Jupiter. Water vapor is
an excellent reflector and readilv ac
counts for the bright radiation of'light
emitted by the planet.''
How to Know Hemlock
The ocacsional reports in the papers!
of children or animals being poisoned
by eating some umbelliferous plant em- '
phasizes the importance of being able !
to distinguish the dangerous ones. In i
the case of hemlock itself, flic most poi- ;
sonous of all this is not difficult. No
tice first the dark green, much cut '
and divided leaves and the peculiar I
odor which botanists call fetid. But j
perhaps the most obvious thing and
that which most easily distinguishes j
the hemlock from all other umbellifer- I
oils plants is the sfom. This is smooth,
polished, slightly furrowed and of a '
green color, blotched and spotted with
purple. No other member of the order
has a stem in the last like it.—London

No. 28. THE CHARGE AT WATERLOO
BY SIR WALTER SCOTT
Of the many grand things in prose and verse written of the great field of
Waterloo, none is sublimer than the following from Scott.
On came tlie whirlwind —like the last
But fiercest sweep of tempest blast;
On came the whirlwind —steel-gleams
broke
Like li|;htn injf through the rolling
smoke;
The war was waked anew.
Three hundred cannon-mouths roared
loud,
And from their throats, with flash and
cloud.
Their showers of iron threw.
Beneath their fire, in full career,
Hushed on the ponderous cuirassier.
The lancer couched his ruthless spear.
And hurrying as to hover near,
The cohort's eagles flew.
In one dark torrent, broad and strong.
The advancing onset rolled along,
Forth harbingered by fierce acclaim.
That from the shroud of smoke - and
flame.
Pealed mildly the imperial name.
But on the British heart were lost
The terrors of the charging host;
For not an eye the storm that viewed
Changed its proud glance of fortitude; :
Nor was one forward footstep stayed, I
As dropped the dying and the dead.
Fast as their ranks the thunder tare, !
Fast they reuewed each serried square! j
And on the wounded and the slain
Closed their diminished files again; j
