THANKSGIVING
DAY IS COMING
Thursday, November tilth, will' lie
the great Thanksgiving Day Alteady
the good housewife has baked her fiuit
cake,and ordered her tuikey and mince
meat.and is prenaiiug for the gloriou
event, that is if she has the coin, with
which to buy all these good tliiugs. If
not, it's doll.tts to doughnuts that
scrapple, bread and oleo, will make up
the noon day mcal.and she'll be thank
ful that she has that.
Thanksgiving Days have been known
in this country since the harvest fest
ival held by the Pilgrim Fathers, at
Plymouth. Mass., in September, 111.'!,
not to mention the thanks celebration
held in August, 11107, by Rev. Mr.
Seymour, of Popham and Gilbert's
short-lived settlement in Maine, nor
that other held ou the Newfoundland
coast, May, 1575, by "Maister Wol
fall." the minister who accompanied
Sir Martiu Fiobishor in his voyage of
discovery; and should we go back to
the Old World we should find their
prototypes in the Annual Thanksgiving
ordered by Elizabeth,the Harv
est Homes of the Anglo-Saxons, the
festivals dedicated to Mother Earth by
tho Romans under the name of Ceres
and by the Greeks under that of Dem
enter, and 'way back in the Hebrew
Feast of Tabernacles of Ingatherings
mentioned in Judges, etc.
Again in a limited sense,Thanksgiv ■
ing Day proclamations have boen oc
casionally issued by United States
presidents ever since George Washing
ton assigned November 2(5, 17811, as a
day of thanksgiving for the ending of
the war and tho auspicious start of
this oouutry as a nation.
But the regular annual observation
of our modern popular Thanksgiving
Day,does notjgo farther back than the
year 1863 a year of victories for the
Northern armies, and one notable at
the same time for a plentiful harvest,
vfban good old Abe Lincoln invited
*iis fellow citizens to sot apart the last
of November of that year
"as day of thanksgiving anil praise. "
He appointed the same day for the
muiii purpose in the year 1804, and the
same date (the last Thursday in Nov
ember has beeu) selected by flvery one
of his successors, exoept in two single
instances.
Th first exception occurred in 18(55,
when, it is said, the precedent establ
ished by Lincoln escaped in some way
the attention of Andrew Johnson,and,
it being late in October when he was
reminded of it, he appointed the first
Thursday in December.
The second and only other occasion
was when U. S. Grant, in Proclama
tion of October 5, 18(59,appointed Nov
ember 18, without assigning any rea
son for his doing so; indeed, it may
have been done through inadvertence,
for in the very next year he reverted
to the customary "last Thursday in
the month" (which then proved to be
November 24th).
DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous for
Danville People to Neglect.
The great danger of l.iduey troubles

PLATINIZED GLASS.
It Produces an Odd and a Tricky Kind !
of Mirror.
Platinized glass consists of n piece of
glass coated with an exceedingly thin j
layer of a liquid charged with plati- j
tium and then raised to a red heat. I
The platinum becomes united to the j
glass In such a way as to form nn odd
kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its !
transparency, and yet if oue places It ;
against a wall and looks at It he sees
his image as in nn ordinary looking !
glass. But when light is a'dowed to :
come through the glass from the other t
side, as when It Is placed In a window, I
If appear® perfectly transparent, like ;
ordinary glass.
By constructing a window of platl
utzed glass one could stand close behind
the panes iu an unllluminatetl room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside, while passersby looking at
the window would behold only a fine
mirror or set of mirrors In which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person Inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the aid of this glass.
In one a person seeing what nppears
to lie an ordinary mirror approaches it
to gaze upon himself. A sudden
change In the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back, where
upon It Instantly becomes transparent,
and the slariled spectator finds him
self confronted by some grotesque fig
ure that had been hidden behind the
glass.—Harper's Weekly.
NOISE OF THUNDER.
Due to Keatirg of Gases Along th«
Line of Electrio Discharge.
To Professor Trowbridge we owe ar
experiment to explain tho noise of!
thunder. It lias usually been thought !
that the noise Is caused by the elos
ing up of the vacuum created by the
passage of lightning, the air rushing
I in from all sides with a clap, hut the
intensity of the noise Is rather dis j
proportionate, anil it Is now supposed
that the thunder is due to the intense'
heating of the gases, especially the!
gas of water vapor along the line of
the electric discharge, and the conse |
quent conversion of suspended mots j
ture into steam at enormous pressure, j
In this way the crackle with which
a peal of thunder sometimes begins
mi'.'ht be regarded us the sound of
steam explosions on a small scale,
caused by Inductive discharges before
tho main flash. The rumble would be
the overlapping steam explosions, and
tho final clap, which soundest loudest,
would be the steam explosion nearest
to the auditor. In the case of rum
bling thunder the lightning Is passing
from cloud to cloud. When the flash
passes from the earth to tho clouds
the clap Is loudest at the beginning.
Professor Trowbridge gave sub
stance to these suppositions by caus
ing electric flashes to pa.' from polni
to point through terminals clothed In
soaked cotton wool, and he succeeded
In magnifying the crack of the elec
tric spark to a terrifying extent—lxin

A Silk Producing Caterpillar.
In Assam, where the natives call It
"eri," a silk producing caterpillar has
b«en used for silk spinning for cen
turies, but, strange to say, Its employ
ment for the purpose has been restrict
ed almost exclusively to that region.
One of Its advantages Is that Its co
coons are uot sealed like those of the
common silkworm. One end of the co
coon Is closed only with converging
loops of silk. This renders It unneces
sary to kill the Insect when its silk Is
used.

MANY LARGE FLOCKS
," t According to reports turkeys will be
plentiful this fall, although so far as j
known none have as yet appeared in
the curbstone market. As to what the
price may bo we can only conjecture.
Persons driving through the county
have been impressed with the large
flocks of fine turkeys to be seen. lie- j
ports would seem to indicate that these j
delicious birds, without which no
Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner is
complete, this year are ratliei more
plentiful than on the average. Prices,
therefore, may not be quite so high ns
during soveral seasons past when for
most people they were prohibitive.
From all over the country the most
mcouraging reports are heard as to the !
turkey crop. Not only in out own but !
in neighboiing States enormous flocks ■
roam over the farms. A Danville
merchant Saturday stated that he ha 1
been looking over the field and had
come to the conclusion that in case the
local market is not well supplied it
would pay to ship in a car load. Evid
ently tiiere will be turkeys from some
source for all who desire them.
Thanksgiving Evs.
"A Girl of the Mountains" is the
title of a new society drama by Lem.
]'. Parkor that comes to the Danville
opera house Thanksgiving eve. It is a
clever story of love and adventure,
whose setting is laid partly in New
York City and partly in the heart of
the Siskiyou Mountains. A very strong
acting company has been engaged
headed by that dainty actress, Miss
Louise Price. Superb stage settings
together with elaborate electrical and
mechanical effects make a fitting back
ground for this beautiful play.
A Glow Arrested.

tival was taken suddenly ill seouris!

back of the organ to ascertain the rea

the act of putting on his coat preparn

"What do you mean by such behav

PREPARATIONS
SHOULD BEGIN
Now that the old year is drawing to
a close it is odd that one hears nothing
| of the mummer's parade, which for BO
many yeirs has been a striking and
I uniquo feature of New Year's day in
| Danville. It is hardly probable that
our mummers, whose efforts have been
so much applauded in the past, intend
to let New Year's pass by without the
time-honored carnival.lt is more prob
able that there is only a delay and
] that all that is needed is for some one
Ito take the initiative. There is little
I doubt that, if a meeting were called,
I tli<s old-time enthusiasm would be
| shown and all would get as busy as
| bees.
i The fact to observe is that the time
iis growing short. If there was any
! single circumstance that militated
j against a full measure of success last
| year it lay in the fact that the begin
ning of preparations was postponed a
little too long. To get up something
new and elaborate in the way of make
up and to properly cany out all con
ceptions require in most instances,not
a few days, but many weeks.
Danville was the first among the
towns of this section to adopt the
novelty of a mummer's parade. Final
ly, there were many imitators, but our
town nobly maintained its prestige as
was demonstrated by the crowds that
assembled within its gates each year
to applaud the mirth-produoing feat
ures of the parade. Danvillo, there
fore, can not afford to drop out of tho
contest at present.
It is hoped that the lending and pro
igressive spirits that the town seems to
I rely upon to take the initiative in snoh
j matters will not desert ns in the prea-
I cut crisis,but will get together forth
j with. By so doing tliey may prevent
| delay, which is always dangerous and
j which in the case of the mummer's
j parade would make it impossible to
achieve anything more than mediocre
I results.
