The latest advise to skaters is to
stay on the ice if they would keep
from drowning. John Burch, a
16 year old Muncy boy had a nar
row escape from death by drown
ing while skating at that place.
He, and several of his boy friends
were playing tag on the ice and
when young Burch ran out on the
bank of the pond he stepped on
some boards covering a well used to
Hood the pond. The boards broke
through, letting him down into the
well which contained a good
amount of water. A rope was se
cured from a nearby house and was
finally slipped over his shoulders.
He was taken to his home and will
recover.

the thermometer down to ten and
fifteen degrees below zero a week
at a time. Just now the men are
cutting 15 inch ice that is as clear
and solid as green glass. Next
Summer when people down on the
plains of the state are panting in
the heat, the summer boarders at
Eagles Mere and Laporte hotels
will be just traveling in the iceist
kind of things.Exchange.

A Short Talks orT 112c "~ I
No. 37.
Once in a while some business man, by advertising in programmes,
souvenirs and various other schemes, determines that "advertising
doesn't pay," and forthwith begins to preach this doctrine.
Several thousand years ago, a gentleman
named yEsop told a little story that has a dis
f tinct application right here :
ji " A fox was once caught in a trap by his
tail, and, in order to get away, was forced to
Wy/ T)y leave it behind. Knowing that without a tail
he would be a laughing-stock for all his fellows,
JT 3w lie resolved to try to induce them to part with
» theirs. So at the next assembly of foxes, he
made a speech on the unprofitableness of tails
' n general, and the inconvenience of a fox's
tail in particular, adding that he had never felt
so easy as he had since he had given up his
.. r. own. When he sat down, a sly old fellow rose.
Stvtral thousand years ago ... 3 «a«_,

he had lost his tail, nothing Aj/M.ti If/i h» t

Nuremberg.
Nuremberg was once almost the rich
est and most famous town in Europe.
The well known saying of Pope Pius
11. that a Nuremberg citizen was bet
ter off than a Scottish king was justi
fied by the accounts that have been
preserved of tho town and its burghers.
In the fifteenth century there came
from Nuremberg the first watches,
known as "Nuremberg eggs;" the first
cannon, the first gun lock, the first
wire drawing machine, the clarinet,
certain descriptions of pottery and the
art of painting on glass. For 800 years
Its walls defended the valley of the
Pegnltz against all enemies. Four
hundred towers once topped the walls,
but only about a third of them now
remain.
Th« Canary's Claws.
If you have a canary or other cage
bird look to its claws from time to
time, for in a state of captivity the
bird's nails grow so long that they
need cutting. IJ this be neglected the
bird is in danger of getting its nnils
caught iu the cage and hanging there
till It dies. Use a sharp pair of nail
scissors and take care not to cut more
than just the tips of the nails. If you
hold the bird In a good light you will
see a little red "thread" in each nail.
This you must avoid, or you will draw
blood and hurt your little pet.

Flies to Ship and Back to Shore.
Eugent U. Ely accomplished a great
feat of aviation when he flew twelve
miles from shore to the deck of the
cruiser Pennsylvania, anchored in San
Francisco ba>. made a perfect landing
on the warship, and after turning
about his machine launched it in the
air again and flew back to the start
ing point.
The double flight occupied only an
hour and a half. The greater part of
that time was consumed on the o- iser
in preparing for the return '
Ely, who is a native son a, 8 of
the Curtiss school of aviators, took
the air from Selfridge field, where the
Thirtieth infantry was encamped for
the occasion. He got off without a
hitch and sped the distance of twelve
miles across the bay in sixteen min
utes.
Ely's machine broke through the
mist and swept up ftie bay like an
enormout. gull, tvnver wavering or fal
tering for an instant.
The air was smoky and the aviator
flew low, so that it was difficult to
Dick him up until he was a few miles
away. A blast from the Pennsylvania's
siren, which was taken up by a chorus
of other whistles, gave the first warn
ing of the aeroplane's approach. At
brief intervals the siren 3 shrieked.
Then as the aeroplane aoared down
toward the deck of the cruiser they all
let go in a mighty toot.
Ely flew through the cruiser squar
ron very close to the water. He ap
proached the Pennsylvania from her
bows, swept past her for a few hun
dred yards and then circled back,
mounting slowly and settling lightly
on the big platform that covered the
ship's after deck and projected far out
over the stern.
Ely landed so lightly that his bi
plane was hardly shaken. His ma
chine, a Curtiss, was especially pre
pared for the experiment.
