Daniel Drawbaugh, the well
known inventor of Cumberland
county, has just completed his in
vention of a wireless telephone

Among the laws enacted at the
last session of the State legisla
ture is one which punishes with
a fine of $100 or one year's im
prisonment or either or both, at
the discretion of the court, any

stroy, mutilate or injure any tree,
vine, flower, grass or ornamental
shrub in any cemetery or grave
yard in the Commonwealth.
The careless habit of children
and many older people of throw
ing banana peeling on the pave
ment should be corrected. Every
one is aware of the fact that upou
stepping on a banana peel it slips
from under the foot, causing a
fall in a majority of cases. There
have been many serious acci
dents recorded against this seem
ingly thoughtless act.
A new feed for horses and cat
tle is being sold. The product is
called "molasses grain." It takes
the places of corn and oats and
wherever used meets with the
greatest satisfaction. In York it
is fed by nearly every liveryman
and they all pronounce it a great
success. It is cheaper than oats
and does not require as much at
a meal.
At the Taylor home, about two
miles west of Groencastle, on the
Mercersburg pike, while the fam

should pass before they would
eit dinner, one of the number,
John Taylor, seven-year-old son
of Harry Taylor, was struck and
instantly killed by lightning last
Saturday as he sat on a chair.
Near him was the father, with a
younger son on his lap. This
child was burned to tho extent
that its life is despaired of, while
the father sustained a severe
burn on the arm.
Why does a dog or cat in a
church or a school, when in ses
sion, cause a general laughter?
A dog may be seen in a house, in
a store, or most any other place
and nobody pays any attention to
it. But let one be seen in a school
or in a church, and it causes a
general demoralization and mer
riment. What is the reason ? Of
course at such a place a dog is
out of place, but why it should
cause a general laughter is one of
the strange peculiarities of hu
man nature.
George Lewis Gussman, who
was honorably recognized by the

MORE EVIDENCES OF OIL AND
NATURAL GAS.
Toduy's Marvels of Progress Ke
come The Commonplace Events
of Tomorrow.
Forward ! That seems to be
the watchword ol the world.
How it moves ! Half a century
ago the pony express was deliv
ering transcontinental mail in
San Francisco, that, marvelous
to relate, in that day, had left the
railroad at the Missouri river on
ly a week before ! .
Today, strange realization of
that remarkable jest, brag or
philosophy of Shakespeare where
he said : "I'll put a girdle round
the earth in forty minutes," a
message can now be flashed
westward from New York.across
the continent, under the Pacific,
through the ranks of the teeming
millions of Asiatics, over crowd
ed Europe and dashing under the
three thousand miles of the trou
bled Atlantic, arrives at its start
ing point before an hour has
passed.
Even that method, the way of
the wire and cable, will seem
coarse and crude, cumbersome
and old fashioned in a few
months. Marconi, that boyish
Italian, flashes a spark from an
electrical device on the western
shore of the Atlantic that con
veys intelligence to an operator
sitting by another machine in old
England. The dreams, the wild
est vagaries, of the enthusiast of
last year are the commonplaces
of today.
The other day I stood at a tele
phone receiver away out in the
woods, .fifteen miles from a rail
road, in North Missouri where
the Indians' bones have not yet
had time to d,ecay in their round
ed sepulchres, and heard the
music of an Edison phonograph
miles further away in the coun
try. It was producing that grand
old hymn, "Lead Kindly Ljght,"
rendered by a glorious male quar
tet. The greatest constructive
statesman who ever lived never
showed the evidence of meutal
power displayed by Alexander
Graham Bell, who gave us the
telephone; by Morse, who gave us
the intermittent spark of the
telegraph; by Marconi, who
spanned the ocean without a wire
or ' by Edison, who has given to
the toiling men and women and
the little brown-banded children
of the farms the luxury of the
best music of the world in their
own homes. Verily the world
moves, and it is toward the light
of better days and better times.
