A LETTER FROM
THOS. A, EDISON
Borough Electrician Newton Smith
yesterday received a communication
from Thomas A. Edison,which stirred
up a great deal of interest about town.
It is no secret that the great inventor
for years past has been working on a
special storage battery for automo
biles. That important and far-reach
ing results depend upon the success of
his labors is apparent to all.
THE INVENTION
That Mr. Edison has perfected his
invention is evident from his letter,
which is self-explanatory. Danville
should feel honored that it lies in the
route that the great inventor has sel
ected for trying out his new battery,
and of being permitted to assist iu an
experiment to which such general and
widespread interest attaches. The let
ter follows:
"From Laboratory of Thomas A.
Edison, Orange, N. J., Aug. 20, I'.UO.
"Mr. Newton Smith, Municipal
Electrician, Danville, Pa.
"Dear Sir : lam about to make a
number of touring tests with several
electric automobiles equipped with
our new type of battery.
\ "I shall consider it a personal favor
\ if you will advise me at your earliest
\ convenience as to charging facilities
on your system.
"Will require from 70 to 110 volts,
direct current, and would be pleased
to know the exact location of the
plant, the hours at which a charge
may be had and the type of apparatus
—whether direct current generator, a
rotary mercury arc rectifier or alter
nating current, field exciter.
"Information as to tours will be
published and widely distributed, and
I consider it will ultimately benefit
the electrical industry.
Yours truly
THOMAS A. EDISON."
FAVORABLE REPLY
Electrician Newton Smith yesterday
stated that the municipal plant is of a
type—alternating current,field exciter
—that will lend itself without difficu
lty to the recharging of Mr. Edison's
batteries. The reply to the inventor's
inquiry, therefore, will be favorable.
That Danville shall figure in the
touring tests seems a foregone conclu
sion under the circumstances, and
about all that remains is to wait until
further information concerning the
tour is published.

HOUSE GLEANERS
IE THROUGH
The repairing and renovating of the
school buildings of the borough aie
now under way. In several of the
wards the cleaning is practically com
pleted. The hall ways, the rooms witli
all their furniture have been thorough
ly scrubbed. In many of the wards
walls have been calcimined.
The rooms clean and fresh in appear
ance, together with the extensive re
pairs put upon the buildings, reveal
how much each year is being done to
promote the mere physical welfare of
the pupils.
For years past iu caring for the
school children Danville has stood for
all that was humane and progressing.
The present school board is particular
ly alert to heed the warnings sent out
bv science, adopting every reasonable
precaution to prevent disease.
Now that the commodious and well
ventilated school buildings are render
ed clean and salubrious but one pro- j
hlem relating to the physical wellfare
of the pupils remains to be solved.
This is the question of pure water.
For several years past the school
board to be on the safe side, at the
outlay of considerable money, has fur
nished sterilized or pure spring water
to the pupils, in all instances dis
couraging the use of water directly
from the faucets for drinking pur
poses. The boiled water, however, is
found to be unpalatable, if removed
from other objections,while the spring
water, no matter how pure, after a
few hours is found to be warm and
insipid. The pupils care little for the
water in either form.
Iu this connection it is proper to re
late that a proposition has been ad
vanced relating to the water question,
which may eventually find favor with
the school board. The plan proposed
is to boro a well on each of the school
properties going down in the rocks to
the depth of a hundred feet or more
securing water free from pollution and
iu quantity sufficient to supply tiie
schools. The well recently bored by
\V. G. Pursel.it is urged,demonstrates
both that the scheme is practicable
and that a comparatively small outlay
of money is required.

INVESTIGATING
ORCHARD SOILS
H. J. Wilder of the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. G., has
been in this vicinity during a week
past conducting an investigation as to
the adaptation of Pennsylvania soils to
orcharding. That the investigation
may be attended with the best results
the United States Department of Agri
culture this year is working in co
operation with the State Experiment i
station.
Mr. Wilder was interviewed at the
Montour house last evening, when
some very interesting facts were learn
ed concerning the different varieties
of soil and the opportunities that pre
sent themselves to fruit growers of
this and neighboring counties. Mr.
Wilder, who has been connected with
the United States Agricultural Depart- '
ment for nine years is a soil expert. |
Witli Danville as a center he drives)
over the country within a radius of
| several miles investigating the soil j
conditions for the purpose of ascer-1
taining the relative merits of the dif- j
ferent kinds of soils for apple grow- j
iug. It has already been ascertained j
that some soils are much better adapt
ed to orcharding than others. This;
is especially true iu the growing of
apples.
The fruit industry has been much j
better developed in the southern and i
central parts of Pennsylvania than in
other parts. It is the object of the de- j
partuieut to determine whether fruit
growing might not be much extended
with profit iu other sections of the
State.
The markets of the anthracite coal
region are especially good anil require
for their consumption enormous quan
tities of fruit. At the present time the
greater part of the fruit handled is
shipped from a distance.
Mr. Wilder's investigations have
brought out the fact that there are
many locations within ami near this
district which are well adapted to
I fruit growing. As a result of the in
| vestigation it is intended to bring out
| a soil map and a report,which will be
| available for free distribution. It will
I also be arranged to have the subjects
discussed at the State fruit meetings
and at "Farmers' Week" at State
College, etc.
Mr. Wilder iu very decided terms
expressed his opinion that farmers in
general should nor go extensively into
fruit growing. The report when
ed will not urge any to embark in
j fruit growing that have not a special
liking for it.
It is a highly specialized business
capable of bringing high returns per
acre, if properly followed.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
Several very flagrant cases of cruelty
to animals have occurred iu this city
during a week or so past. Whether
these cases have occurred through
mere thoughtlessness or downright
cruelty on the part of the owners mat
ters hut little so far as the animals
I are concerned, as the misery they are
I forced to endure is the same in either
J case. "In a couple of cases it was much
Ito be regretted that the Society for
j the Prevention of Cruelty to animals
! has not an agent at this place. An ap
j plication of the remedy provided by
■ ,the law might have had a salutary ef
fect.
! It is not an uncommon spectacle to
see lame horses or horses obviously
sick and half-starved driven about the
town and country. The acme of heart-
I lessness wa- witnessed a few days ago
when a horse suffering from the effects
of an accident, was tied on the street
1 for a couple of hours. On one of the
hind legs was a gash some seven inches
long. The pain that the liorseendured
was such that he could not keep his
leg quiet but held it in many differ
ent positions, while the flies clustered
about the partially healed sore,adding
to the torment.
The present is a time of the year
when horses need especial attention.
Even fly nets do not afford full protec
tion from insects and, although pro
tected in this way, horses should not
be obliged to stand in the open very
long at a time. |The common instincts
of humanity should dictate that a
horse lame from any cause is unfit to
drive. It is equally important that a
horse be well fed and properly shelter
ed in fly time.
They Have a Definite Purpose.

AS RELATES TO
WHOOPING COUGH
The coanciluiauio committee ou pub
lic health is trying to devise some
menus of coping with the epidemic of
whooping cough. The matter was
brought up at the last meeting of
council and pretty vigorously discuss
ed in its various relations.
The fact that the borough ordinance
does not include whooping cough
among communicable and dangerous
diseases was adverted to, but this was
regarded as immaterial in the light of
the provisions of the act of May 14,
1909, which abrogates or overrides the
borough ordinance.
Upou request herewith is set forth
the provisions of the late act that all
may see to what extent they are liable
who are negligent in the matter of
whooping cough. The act of May 14,
1909, includes whooping cough among
the communicable and dangerous dis
eases and provides that whether exist
ing in township, city, or borough, it
must he reported by the attending
! physician. As soon as the health anth
| urities receive a report of communic
able diseases including whooping
i cough they must proceed to quarantine
I the premises in which such disease ex
! ists, placarding the house as provided
!by the rules and regulations of the
| health authorities.
! Section 7of the act provides that no
; child or other persons suffering from
! whooping cough or erysipelas shall be
i permitted to attend any public, priv
j ate, parochial or Sunday school. The
j teachers and superintendents are re-
J quired to exclude any and all such
| children or persons from the schools
for thirty days. Penalty is imposed for
j neglecting to comply,
i Section 13 is especially illuminat
j ing. as it shows that children having
| the whooping cough must not be per
i mitted to he upon the street or away
' from the premises ou which they re
side. This section provides that no
person suffering from communicable
diseases,among which whooping cough
is enumerated, "shall wilfully expose
j himself or herself in any street or pub*
i ilc place or public conveyance, nor
j shall any person in charge of anyone
j so suffering thus expose the sufferer. "
Section 'il provides that any person
i who shall violate the quarantine re
| strictions imposed by this act shall for
' every suchToffense be sentenced to pay
j a fine of not less than SSO nor more
than SIOO or be imprisoned in the
county jail for a period of not less
j than 10 nor more than 30 days or both
| at the discretion of the court.

THE ESPERANTISTS.
i \V. V. Oglesby, Esq., and Curtis
| Lore, delegates, who attended the
sixth International Congiess of Esper
antists at Washington,D. C.,last week
I are greatly impressed not only with
) the importance of the world language
and the practical uses to which it cau
j be applied but also with the hold that
I it has upon t! e nations of the civiliz
j ed world.
| In the congress were 457 persons,em
i bracing 23 nationalities. Fifteen gov
ernments were officially represented,
, among them being the United States,
; Russia, Spain, Brazil, Germany and
j China. Several countries of South
America were represented unofficially.
All the countries of Europe were rep
resented in the same way. The con
gress was made up of all classes, rich
and poor,professional men, mechanics
and farmers.
All the business of the cougress was
conducted in Esperanto. Not only
were all the widely scattered nations
equally at home in the new tongue,
but there was nothing in the language
as spoken, no peculiarity of accent, to
betray the nationality of the person
on the floor.
It was brought out during the pro
ceeding that Esperanto is being taught
in the public schools of F'rance and
England. In Maryland it is being em
braced in the curiculum of the Normal
schools. In that state it may even be
taught in the public 'schools at the
option of the local authorities.
The next international congress will
meet at Antwert.
ORDERLY TIMES
The next regular term of court will
not take place until the third Monday
in October. The last term of court took
place in June. Notwithstanding the
long interval, if present conditions
may be taken as a criterion,there will
be only a limited amount of business
ou hand at the next term. It has prob
ably never occurred before in a period
of corresponding length that things
have been so orderly and uneventful
throughout the county. Very rarely,
indeed, have our justices been called
upon to perform their legal functions,
ami the number of cases thus far re
turned are small. Unless things take
a sudden change between the present
and opening of court the next grand
jury will not be detained many days.
A session of argument court will be
held Saturday, SeptemberMOth.

both the county commissioners and
the boicugh council Saturday taking
the necessary action to bring about

ment.
At a regular meeting Saturday morn
ing the county commissioners ordered

BOROUGH TAKES ACTION.
At the adjourned meeting of council
Saturday night it was ordered that the |
borough extend its retaining wall at
the water works thirteen feet further j
] eastward embracing the strip of land !
| unprotected that belongs to the bor- ■'

T. L. Evans' sous, who have the

FOR BORERS
A York conuty.Pennslvania, merch
ant, who owns a large orchard, wrote
to State Zoologist Surface, asking:
"Will white lead and raw linseed oil
be good to paint peach trees around
the trees down to the root to keep the
borers away, and how long will it be
effeotive? Will it kill them if there
are auy in the tree? Also would it be
too late to use arsenate of lead and j
j Bordeaux mixture the latter part of
j May for the Codling moth? Would this
j have a poisonous effect on the fruit?"
, The Professor replied: "A paint of
! pure white lead and raw linseed oil is :
1 all right on apple, pear anil Quince, or ;
what are known as the " pome" fruits; 1
; but 1 do not recommend it on the
i "stone fruits," or peach, plum and \
\ apricot, although I have used it suc-
I cessfully and without any injury
whatever to the trees in my own peach i
orchard. It is necessary that_it be raw
i oil and pure whitelead. Ordinary paint i
! will not serve the purpose. Paint, with
1 drier in it will be especially liable to
kill the trees. 1 have never recom
mended it for use on peach trees, uot
-1 withstanding the impression tiiat has
got out to this effect. It will not kill i
the borers that are in the apple, pear
and quince trees, but it will be elfec
[ tive during this summer or this season
jin preventing the borors from enter
! iug. Some of our practical growers
j claim that it will be effective during
• two seasons, and they certainly find it
J efficient in piotecting trees from rab
| bits and mice for two seasons. I have
| seen large orchards painted [with it
j without the trees being injured, but I
have recently received a report of darn
! age to peach trees from its use. My
| own peach trees, thus painted thor
oughly three years ago this year, are 1
j in as good condition as any others in
i the entire orchard. Nearly one hun
dred were so treated aud were not in
jured in the least. It was effective in
i preventing injury by borers 011 all my
trees there applied.
"If you have not yet sprayed for
the Codling moth, I would recommend
the application of arsenate of lead aud
I Bordeaux mixture of which you make
inquiry, even at this late date. This
is about the time for the second spiay
ing for this pest, and spraying now
will certainly do much good. It would
; have been better to have sprayed be
fore the green tips at the calyx closed
over the fruit. No harm will be done
in spraying now. There is 110 danger
| of poisoning the fruit.
"Instead of painting the stone fruit
with oil paint,apply linn-sulfur wash,
made the same as for San Jose scale,
i with either brush or spray puuip,
I abundantly 011 the base of the trunk
I of the trees. Do not delay the applica
tions for borers of any kind of trees

FOREST FIRES
STILL RAGING
SPOKANE, WASH., Aug. 24.
News that comes from the burning
forests of Idaho, Montana and Wash
i ington increases the seriousness of the
situation so far as the destruction of
j the magnificent trees is concerned,but
reduces the estimate of loss of life.
| Only fifty-four persons aie known to
have perished. The hundreds of na
tional forest rangers, who yesterday
. were reported missing and probably
dead, have not all turned up safe, but
, many of them have. The fire-swept
, country contains many lakes and
, streams of water and bv taking refuge
in these, the skillful rangers probably
, saved their lives.
Everywhere, except near the towns,
the fires are still spreading. Many
, companies of United States and State
, troops are 011 the way to the burning
. districts. The best hope of the threat
ened forests, however, is in the sky.
Rain and snow have fallen in Montana
and light rains in Idaho, and the sea
son of the fall rains is near at hand.
Storie> of the blinding and burning of
fire fighters have made it difficult to
obtain men togo into the blazing
woods
Report from the forest fires on the
Middle Fork and in the Elk City re
gion state that the wind blew a gale
all Tuesday and the ground gained by
" the rangers and volunteers in the lull
in the tempest Monday night has been
- lost. Major Penu, who is in command
- of five hundred men, considers the
1 situation desperate, and although the
i almost exhausted tire fighters are
1 working with renewed energy, he has
i little hope of making auy headway.
1 i However the wind has fallen and the
1 flames are advancing less rapidly.
