badly with an axe while out In a
camping party near Hallstead. The
young man was cutting brush on
the mountainside and In felling a

Two ftlttston men who gave
fictitious names to the spit cop of
Wilkes-Barre and to Aldenman
Brown of that city, were arrested
and fined while at the county seat on
the charge of expectorating on the
sidewalk. The men claimed Ignor
ance of any such law as to prohibit
a man from spitting on the side
walk, but their plea was of no value
and they had to cough up a one dol

Seven new typhoid fever cases
were reported at Wllkes-Barre Fri
day and Chairman Morgan, of the
sanitary committee of the city coun
cil, fearing the situation may get
beyond the control of the local au
thorities, sent word to Dr. Dixon of
the state department of health, ex
plaining the conditions existing
there. It is expected a representa
tive of the department will be Bent
to make a thorough investigation.
Seven is the highest number of cases
so far reported In one day. Most
of the victims admit they have been
using hydrant water without taking
the precaution to boll It.
Charges of an extensive system
of grafting which defrauded the
Fraternal Order of Eagles, a so
ciety of 300,000 members in the
Tnited States and Canada, of thous
ands of dollars through the opera
tions of former olllcers has been
made in connection with a suit for

Municipal court in Chicago. Pres
ent olllcers declare this 1b only the
start of what will prove ono of tho
biggest graft exposures of tho year.
.No names were mentioned In tho
original charge, but tho attorney of
the order, who is In Chicago, de
clared there Is plenty of evidence.
Tho old Paupack is tho scene of
many a merry boating and picnic
party theso days. This may be tho
effect of the movement to merge tho
old river into tho fourteen-mile lake
which wo hear so much about lately,
and which looks now to bo an as
sured thing. On Monday a party In
honor of Dr. and Mrs. Evans of Tay
lor launched to tho Bea picnic
grounds, and this was followed Wed
nesday by a company of thirty

young girls enjoyed tho sylvan wild

of finer setting nor ono which more
minutely and deeply mirrors the

J. S. Schoonovcr nnd II. F. Cool
bnugh, sucretnry, representing the
Monroe County Agricultural society,
have returned from n trip through
Pike county, Port Jervls, N. Y., nnd
points in Jersey in the interests of
the coming fair, which opens at
Stroudsburg Labor day, nnd they
were very successful In Interesting
people In the coming event nnd In
securing exhibits for the fair and
entries for tho races.
Mr. Schoonover states that they
secured numerous entries for tho
speed events, which will add to the
pleasure of this attraction of the
fair. Some of the horses are of the
very speediest naturo and will make
racing of a class that will be fully
up to tho standard of the past two
years, when all previous records for
speed were broken.
DUTTON8 THEY WEAR.
Naked r.ntliiT Klsts in Haw ley, Tim.
The nude bathing nuisance, which
has been written up in Honesdale,
appears to be known in Hawley.
This is from the Inst Issue of the
Hawley Times:
Numerous complaints have been
made about boys, and In some in
stances oven men, bathing In tho
Lackawaxen within the borough
limits. The practice is confined
principally to that portion lying north
of Hawley and along tho Erie rail
road. The complaints are based up
on the fact that in almost every In
stance no bathing suit Is worn and
the bathers appear to be absolutely
oblivious to passersby.
The attention of bathers is di
rected to tho fact that there Is a law
against such practices. Tho com
plaints heard have been numerous
nnd those making them say that un
less the practice Is stopped some
action will be taken In the matter.
The complainants have no desire to
stop bathers from enjoying the sport,
but they do not wish to have their
sensibilities shocked by daily ex
hibitions. Moreover, the outlines ex
hibited are not such as would startle
a Grecian sculptor. A bathing suit
costs but a trifle and Its use Is
much more dignified and fashionable.
Fine-Iiooklng Men From Wuyne.
Capt. Sylvester Delaney of the
United States army medical corps
Is In the city spending his vacation
at the home of his parents and with
his brother, Attorney E. A. De
laney, says the Carbondale Leader.
Capt. Delaney Is on President Taft's
medical staff. He Is one of the finest-looking
men in the army and
conceded to be one of the best doc
tors. When President Taft first saw
Delaney he was much attracted by
his personality. (N. B. This isn't
told by Doctor Delaney, for he
doesn't talk that way.) And when
he learned there were several more
brothers In the fnmily with just the
same broad shoulders and healthy
complexion he said: "Well, If
Wayne county, Pa., has many such
specimens of men as Delaney, )t
must be a line place to breed men."
Dr. Stillwell Burns of tho Medlco
Chlrurglcal college of Philadelphia,
who was here as the guest of Dr.
Grant, is a great friend of Capt.
Delaney, and while here he took
the pains to call on tho mother of
the captain. Tho friends Just miss
ed each other, as Capt. Delaney
arrived only a short time after Dr.
Burns' departure.
ABOUT SUJLMHH UOAKDKIW.
There Is general complaint In this
and nearby sections that the city
boarder Is not disporting himself In
numbers as large as usual. Various
reasons aro assigned for tho delin
quency, among them that tho au
tomobile has captured many, not
alone the persons but their pockets,
and Instead of quietly settling down
In some favored spot they aro kick
ing up a dust throughout the coun
try, spreading their dollars over
moro territory, perhaps not bo many
on board and clothes, becauso boiuo
must go for cost and upkeep of tho
machlno. if this reason is tho true
ono, then with tho probable cheap
ening of machines In tho future nnd
tho development of freedom from
restrictions nnd tho pleasure of sight
seeing in tho country, coming sea
sons may find moro people enjoying
their vacations by making trips In
nutos. Tho sequestered nook and
shady glen will glvo wny to tho
rush over tho roadB and the varied
scenery nlong them. Timea chnngo

Is constant necessity that wo ad

One of them might bo to induce city
people to become cottngo owners hero

The Optical Lever.
Tho delicate measurements de
manded by modern scientific processos
and machines have led to the Inven
tion of many Instruments of precision
that surprise the uninitiated by their
capabilities, which are often basvd
on extremely simply principles.
Among these is a llttlo apparatus re
cently put upon the market in
Franco for determining the thick
ness, or, one might say. lack of thick
ness, of extremely thin plates, wires
nnd threads. The Inventor likens Its
action to that of a lever In which a
ray of light takes the pln-co of tho
beam. Essentially the npparatus
consists of two carefully ground
plates In, contact with one nnother,
tho upper one being attached to a
movable arm. When an object is
placed between the edges of tho
places the upper plate Is displayed a
little In level, and the effect of this
displacement is magnified by a re
flected ray of light which falls upon
a graduated scale. Thus tho most
delicate measurements of thickness
oro easily and quickly made.
The Ants of the Himalayas.
In the Himalayas, on the side fac
ing India, the limit of perpetual snow
Is about 6,500 feet higher than In
the Alps. One result of this is that
various forms of life are found in tho
groat Asian mountains at an eleva
tion which seems extraordinary.
Among these are many species of
onta, which have been particularly
studied by Dr. August Forel. Up to
nearly 10,000 feet the ants aro very
abundant, and even at the elevation
of 12,000 feet four species have ben
found, and it Is believed that more
careful investigation would show
that they exist even at 13,000 feet or
more. A unique fact, not found in
any othor great mountain range, Is
that the Himalayas possess an im
mense variety of local species of antB.
Out of 110 forms recognized In the
Hlmalnyat, 50 are pecullnr to those
mountains.
Battles in the Blood.
An Interesting record of what may
ha called, somewhat fancifully, and
yet with a oertaln degree of truth,
tho battles that occur in the blood of
a fevor patient between noxious and
benign micro-organisms was presented
at a recent meeting of the Royal
Microscopical Socloty by Doctor Bern
stein. The patlont in this case was
suffering from malarial fever. The
observations were made at Intervals
of a few minutes during a period of
five hours. The defenders of tho
patient's lite were a kind of leuco
cytes, which destroyed the malarial
parasites. A b -ocyte would engulf a
panrslto, which ,. "Id then be soon
undergoing n prtxxjoj"' disintegra
tion insldo tho leixocyu, and only
tho pigment granules wero loft. After
ward other leucocytes would approach
nnd absorb oven tlKrse grannies.
The Arch.
The consensus of opinion among
tho lonroud is to the effect that tho
Arch was invented by Uie Romans.
Somo claim that Archimedes of Sicily
vub the inventor, whllo there too
others who would make It txAbo of
Etrurian origin, but Jere cam be no
doubt about the fcictj that tlui Romans
wero tho first to apply tiro principle

Influence of WaUlj on Cement.
Accidentally on interesting discov
ery wan inada recently at Aflhtubura
concerning tho Infiocnoo of the com
position of particular waters on the
quality of concrete. In preparing con
croto, water which had been charged
by leakage from blast turnaooa and
slags was employed, and tho proeUwt
wra found to bo particularly good.
Analysis showed that the water con
tained on unnoual quantity of slllcloaa
and limy constituents, chlorid of sodi
um, nitrate of sodium, thlosulphato of
lhno and of soduim. When compared
with concrete made with wator from
the Allegheny River, that formed with
the water Just mentioned was found
to possess a decidedly superior pow
er of resistance.
New York CongrcsHinnn Descants

Revision of Election Laws.
Tho commission appointed by the
legislature to revise and modify the
election laws of Pennsylvania has
about concluded Its labors and will
mnko a preliminary report, probably
In tho fall. Among tho changes
which the commission will recom
mend Is that the voter bo permitted
to use his ballot after tho manner
of the old vest-pocket ballot, mark
ing it either nt home or before ho
enters tho polling booth. There is
n general complaint against the
cumbersome blanket ballot now
used ns being confusing to the voter
and Hnble to result In preventing
the citizens from properly designat
ing the persons for whom they wish
to vote.
The commission Is not In favor of
abolishing the blanket ballot, but
thinks the New Jersey plan of plac
ing tho ballot in an envelope is pre
ferable to tho present method of
restricting the voter to marking
his ballot In private or asking as
sistance in marking his ballot.
