10 DANVILLE
Daily, on the arrival tf nearly eyes
train, may lie teen, young persons
with e.iit rasa iu liau.l, who have ar
rived to spend a vacation iu Danville.
The most ot these are natives of oar
town, who have poueout .a t:.e world
to carvr .i career.
There are othere.it i& tree, o.der in
year*, urinatives, who attracted ly
the scenery, the famed sociability and
the hospitality of oar citizens,auuna!-
ly turn their footsteps this way at
vaoat-on time. That the toilers in ttie
olties or shose who dwell afar off on
the plains or by the mountain side
should thus annually turn to Danville
to spend the week or ten days covered
by n well-earned leave of absence is an
evidence that the famous old town is
conspicuous among the mnn.cipal:sie>
that stand along the Susquehanna—
that over and above its history and as
social ions of the past it has qualities
that make it a living force in the life
of today and which appeal to the
hearts of young and old alike.
Spending ot scenery where is the
locaiirv in Pennsylvania where such a
variety and beauty iu landscape—such
a combination of uatnral views may
be found as in the North Branch val
ley? And where, It might be added,iu
the North Branch valley is such scen
ery to he lound as rig.it here at Dan
ville?
The river here is unmatched in its
beauty, whether tinted with the hues
of the dawn or radiant with the re
flected glow of the sunset sky—beauti
ful with its level shores that spread
oct :n green fiehls where cuttle ars
gracing arid farm houses repose amid
cluster of fruit-laden trees —beautiful
also with its precipitous shores that
rise nearly abrupt from the water,and
sentinel-:.ke, gaze down at their well
defined shadows in the placid stream.
Nowhere does mountain aad valley
and river all combine in one scene
with more sublime effect than here nt
Danville. Viewed under the proper
conditions —wtien the atmosphere is
clear—in the calm of evening, or at
night when the moon is floating in the
cloudless sky the scene is one that
beggars description.
Persons who turn this way to spend
vaaation. therefore, show a nice dis
cernment, reflecting by their choice a
love of the beautiful in nature and the
appreciation of the society of true
hearted and unostentatious people.

VERSAILLES.
The Old Royal Palace Is Now an Art
Gallery and Museum.
Versailles is about twelve miles from
Talis, but all the intervening country j
is built up. and it seems almost as if a {
distant part of the city.
Here was one of the great royal pal
aces much frequented by the kings and j
especially by Louis XIV. and all those i
who came after him. Its gardens and
forests are beautiful, and the old pal-j
ace is now kept as an art gailery and j
museum and filled with pictures and
statues, much of the old furniture for
merly used by the royal occupants re
maining as when they used it. Some
of the most dramatic events of the
revolution occurred here. The entire
property belongs to and is cared for
by the government of France and is
open to the public without fees.
Twenty-five miles north of Paris is
Chantilly, the ancestral home of the
I'rin- e de Conde, the great Conde,
which in olden times vied with the j
royal palaces in the grandeur of its <
entertainments and the distinguished
character of its guests.
The last owner of the property, the
Due d'Atimale, willed this fine estate
to France, so that its palace, with its !
magnificent art treasures, and the great |
forest are now for the enjoyment of
all.—Paris Letter to Denver Post
How the Burmese Made Fire.
One day a Burmese messenger
brought me a note. While he was (
waiting for the reply I observed an j
object something like a boy's pop- j
gun suspended around his waist. On j
asking what it was he showed me that '
it was an implement for producing :
fire. It was a rude example of a sci
entific instrument employed by lec- j
turers at home to illustrate the pro
duction of heat by suddenly compress-1
ed air. A piston fitted into the tube.
The former was hollowed at the lower
end and smeared with wax to receive a )
piece of cotton or tinder, which when |
pressed into it adhered. The tube was
closed at one end. Placing the piston
at the top of the tube, with a smart
blow he struck it down and imme
diately withdrew it with the tinder on
fire, the sudden compression of the air
having ignited it. I was so much
struck with the scientific ingenuity of
this rude implement that 1 procured j
it from the- Burman and sent it to the
Asiatic society of Bengal, with a short
description of its uses.—"Recollections j
of My Life," by Surgeon General Sir
John Fayer.
The Oyster Shell.
Every one who has handled an oyster i
shell must have noticed the successive
layers overlapping each other. Thesi
are technically named shots, and ca<*h ;
one marks a year's growth, so that by
counting them the age of the oysti
can be determined. Up to the time !
of its maturity—that is. when fn;:r |
years of age—the shots are regular ~i d
successive, jut after that time t
become irregular and are piled < ••
upon another so that the shell becomes ■
bulky and thickened. Fossil oysters
have been seen of which each sin-:
was nine inches thick, whence th->
may I* guessed to be more than
years old *"

FORTY PLAYGROUNDS BY TEE SEA.
This is seashore time.
The dog days call to the worker in home, office, and mill
and the answer brings up thoughts of the many resorts beside
the sea where comfort, recreation, and pleasure alike await the
coming of the holiday-maker.
Along the shores of New Jersey from Cape May to Sandy
Hook lie forty beaches, each offering delights for outings long
or short and each easily accessible by the splendid train service
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Atlantic City, with its myriad attractions for young and
old, needs no introduction, for its charms are known from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Cape May, for a century the summering place of satisfied
thousands of seekers after cool breezes, fine bathing, and the
refined amusements of the seaside, is more attractive than ever
in its new life.
Ocean City. Wildwood. Sea Isk City, with their smaller
neighbors, Anglesea, Holly Beach. Wildwood Crest, Avalon,
and Stone Harbor, afford summer pleasure to thousands.
To the north lie Beach Haven, Seaside Park, Island
Heights and the other resorts about Barnegat Bay, where the
lover of fishing and sailing|finds the choicest sport.
Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake, Long Branch,
Sea Girt, Point Pleasant. Allenliurst, Elberon, and Belmar on
the "Tipper Coast where the country meets the sea right on the
beach, appeal with mighty force to the v, auomst.
Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will be glad to
give full information regarding excursion rates, time of trains
and arrange your outing whether it be for a day, a week or
the whole summer.
AUTO IN SAHARA DESERT.
First Trip Excited Genuine Curiosity.
Arab Chief Delighted With a Ride.
The first automobile journey iu the
Sahara desert was recently made by
Edward E. Aver of the Field museum,
in Chicago, and Mrs. Ayer. Among the
incidents was the acquaintance of the
chief of nomads, who was given a
seat in the car to Insure pacific rela
tions. The ear was shipped from Par
is to Algiers. After skirting northern
Africa Mr. Ayer says:
"We kept our course south over the
desert to the oasis of Biskra, where
we found growing 100,000 date palms.
At Biskra began the 150 mile trip to
ward the heart of the desert. Over
the barren desert we urged our ear to
Tougart.
"This journey over the sands and
rocks was a pioneering effort, so far
as a big touring ear was concerned.
We were forced to carry strips of
matting, each thirty feet in length,
Which could be stretched before the
machine when we came to reaches of
soft sand.
"The automobile excited the most
genuine curiosity. I remember in par
ticular one Arab chief who rode for n
long time on his beautiful horse at the
side of the car. Ills band followed
not far in the rear. Finally we sug
gested that he dismount and ride with
us. This he did with every display of
pleasure. We speeded the car along,
and he grinned with all the delight of
a child grasping a new toy."
Sewell Ford's 1.500 Mile Trip In Auto.
An automobile tour of 1,500 miles
without touching a tire or experienc
ing engine trouble is the good luck rec
ord established by Sewell Ford, the
author, living nt Haekensack. N. .! .
who recently returned from his first
long trip in ids new touring car. Mr.
rord and family spent four weeks on
the road, stopping for socno tln« In
Boston and vicinity and visiting the
various seashore resorts as far north
as Portland, Me., then making an in
land detour that took them nlmost In
to the White mountains. The return
was made by way of Boston. Spring
field. Hartford and New llaven in a
quick run of two days.
A Man Must Think.
A man must use his own judgment.
He must think his own thoughts. He
must believe his own convictions, let
them jostle whom they may. There
are ideas which are in the air. They
settle down upon us like smuts In a
manufacturing town. They settle upon
us in the subway and on the streets.
We find it difficult to brush them off
our minds, and they grow bigger and
stronger and dominate us.
We think we hold opinions when, as
a matter of fact, they hold us. And
this would be of the less consequence
if they were our own But
they are not. And they are not the
opinions cf ••ur friends either. They
have not been made in the sense in
which one builds a conviction or
shapes a life. And the trouble is that
we think we are thinking when we are
only obeying the orders of the opinions
which have taken possession of us.—
Dr. Charles F. Aked.
STATE FORESTRY
AT VILUAHSPORT
Williamsport is to nave a State for
est reserve direotly at the southern
door of the city. The negotiations be
tween Hoover and Bartles on the one
hand and the State forestry depart
ment on the other came to an end yes
terday with the result that the com
njonwenlth lias purchased the entire
body of over 7,000 acres owned by
these interests, conditioned upon find
ins the title free from tiaws. Examin
er O. O. Dunlap,representing the title
company of Pittsburg, which passes
ou all State forestry titles, spent last
week going over the titles of various
tracts included ia the new reserve and
is still at it.
PROTECTS HA GERMAN'S
RUN WATERSHED.
The land lies in Clinton, Brady and
Washington townships, Clinton county.
It extends from Muucv along the Eald
Eigle ridge reaching in some places
to the Susquehanna river and at oth
ers receding to the top of the moun
tain. It prote.-ts the watersheds of
many streams, notably that c.f Hager
man's ran at points where the land
was not bought np by the Williaius
port Water company r.t the time it
acquired its holdings. The reserve lies
both east and west of the water com
piny's lands and also to the south cl
them. The object of the State in mak
ing this purchase was to prevent the
land from being denuded of its timber
by pulp wood cutters and other wood
men. The land will be rigorously pro
tected hnth ngaiDst unlawful trespa»«
and against the ravages of fire. Al
though much of tiie timber is young
second growth.it is rapidly increasing
in sine,and there is' also a large amount
of timber t iat might be classed a?
mature.
CONSIDERATION NOT STATED.
Tii> amount of the consideration is
withheld,but as the tract is one of the
m.T-t valuable that has been purchased
by the State the figure is supposed to
be larger than has been paid for some
of the more remote purchases. X'he
new acquisition increases the acreage
of the forest reserve tracts in Lycom
ing county to nearly 70,000 acres an.l
pla us it among the large forest re
serve counties oC the State. The deed
ha« not be i filed, bat will be as soon
as Exaiair- r Dunlap has passed on the
title, i;nlees some unsuspeoted Paw
should Je discovered.

DEFEATED POP
WATKIN'S GIANTS
ID a fame that fairly sizzled with
brilliant playing by both teams Dan
ville Tuesday added another victory
to their list. Pop Watkins' Brooklyn
Giants furnishing t!ie "aleo ran ' side
of the scoring sheet. Danville piled
op ten runs in three of the inning
and left it go at that. The Giants got
three.
lloClotai was in the box for Dan
ville and played ten pins with the
Giants. Daring the first five innings
be smiied on bnt fifteen men, and a
total of;; 2 faced hinj during the entire
game. Only one had inning did he
have, the eighth, when the visitors
tnade three of their four hits and scor
ed ail their runs. ' Honey" passed
bnt oue and struck out 2
The team seems to be playing better
ball each game, The support Tues
day WHS fine. Chance after chancs,
and some of them hard ones too, were
taken fast and accurately. And hit,
why they just literally pound tua ball
all over the lot.
T!» gaoie went three innings with
out a tally, bnt in the fourth Liver
good crossed the pan with Danville's
first score.
In the sixth the teal fan began, the
team batting r.rouud and one over.
Coveleskie was first np and he sel ted
a pretty one and drove it over the ceu-
lor field fence for his sixth home run
of the season. Dooley wa6 hit and
Mackret reached first on McDonald's
error; MsCload and Hess both flied
out. Umlauf drove a long one into
left for two hag?, scoring Dooley;
Thomas iiu plicated Umlauf's drive
scoring Mai t.< r: and Unjlauf; Liver
good and Al'itzltr were presented with
passes, ioading the cushions, but Cov
eleskie, np the second time, hit an in
field grounder an<i Liverpool was
caught at second.
In the .seventh Danville took live
tallies, again batting aruaid Dooley
singled to left; Mackert got first while
the Giants played for Doolty at s; c
ond ; McOlond drove on? between phort
and third; Hess drove one over t.'ie
right field fence, scoring Maci.ert:
Umlaut drove onr his second two bag
ger into left scoring McOloud and
Thomas' two bagiter scored Hess;
Metzler hit by a pitched bail an .
he and Thomas accomplished a double
steal ; Thoinss tried to make home en
Livergood's grounder to second but
wa< caoght at the plate on a close de
cision. Levergood also scored before
Covc-letkie flied out to Borden.
The Giants did their only scoring in
the eighth.tallying three times on two
doubles, a ~ ngle and a wild throw to
first.
It is cni.v justice to the liiants to
say that Toes lay was an oft' day fir
them,and that they did not pot up tfie

ANOTHER SAFE
BROKEN OPEN
Hon. R. S. Ainnjermaa on entering
his office Tuesday morning discover
ed that thieves had bcm on the ; real
ises during his absence and had broi. •
en open iiis safe. Fortunately tiiey had
not secured any booty of importance.
The operation in a'! respects reseia- '
bled (be reinjury at Charles V. Aiuer
uian s office Monday ami there seems
little doubt but that it was committed
about the sauie Hire. .last before uocn
Mr. Ammermiia says be visited the'
courthouse, ieaviiig bis office unkck
ed. He returned later, but had no oc
casion tc use his eafe and did not dis
cover the traces of thieves, lie feels
pretty confident in view of what oc
curred at the office of Charles V. Am
erinau that his office was entered at
about tiie same time and by the same
parties.
Tuesday morning having occasion
to use. his safe Mr Auiuieiuiau discov
ered that tlie small drawers inside
were broken open and ransacked. Mr.
Ammerman loes not kepp any money
la his office and tiie robbers, who were
evidently after money, were disap
pointed and obliged to leave empty
handed.
There are some reasons for believ
ing tiiat the thief or thieves were
frightened away, as ainoug the con
tents of the safe WRS an iron box care
fully locked, which should have sug
gested that it contained valuables.
Why the robbers, wlw had broken open
several drawers that were seourely
locked, should have balked at the box
is hard to explain unless they fancied !
they heard some cue approaching. j
Had they taken the risk to break :
open the box they would have found '
w .thin it a foe gold watch, valued at
oue hundred dollars besides a lot of
negotiable bonds.
There is som* reason for believing
that the robbers were after lawyers
only knowing that it is habitual with
them to leave tneir offices without
locking them leaving the contents
of their sales practically exposed. That
the plan worked oct well is amply
proven bv the two cases cited above.
No clew to tie thieves has as yet been
Sisi overed.
Trout Season About Oosed.
The troat fishing season Is aln.ost at
an end, t itrel being just one more
week of it, and on the. whole it could
not be considered a very-nccessl'ul oue
for tie fishermen in this locality.
True it is, that quite a number of
trout were caught by thote who I ad
| the patience and persistence to putin
day after day along t'ie streams but
there were no record catchfs 15 any
time dnriu.: the season. Whether t is
becau'e the trout are becoming scarcer
