FREELAND, PA., JUNE 10, 1895.
Borough School Board Meeting.
Tho borough school board met on
Saturday evening, and tho following
organization for the coming year was
effected: President, D. J. McCarthy;
secretary, James li. Ferry; treasurer,
John J. Welsh. The new board im
mediately started to work upon lines
radically different from the policy pur
sued by its predecessors. The reading
of the bible or sectarian books of any
character in the school rooms was order
ed to be dispensed with. The president
announced that suit would be entered
against Directors Ruto and Shelhamer
and ex-Directors Sachs and Kulp for
drawing $5 each illegally from tho
treasury for expenses to Wilkesbarre,
unless the money was refunded to the
board.
A new method of ascertaining tho
fitness of applicants for schools was
agreed upon. A competitive examina
tion of those residing in the borough
who hold diplomas or certificates and
desire positions as teachers will be held
before the appointments are made, and
and the schools will be given to tho
applicants showing the best records in
the examination. The date for the ex
amination will be selected later.
Court House Bids Rejected.
The county commissioners hayo re
jected all the bids submitted for the new
court house. The bids were too high, a
fact that caused no surprise, as Archi
tect Myers' design could not be erected
within the limit allowed by the grand
jury, which was 9000,000. The commis
sioners stated that the contractors had
requested that if none of the bids were
accepted the amounts bo not made
known, for their protection in a busi
ness way, and consequently no informa
tion concerning them, further than that
some were above and some below $1,000,-
000, will be given.
What the next move will bo is un
decided, but probably nothing will now
be done until it is definitely known
whether or not Quay county will bo
created. If so, there will be no neces
sity for a new court house at Wilkes-
Rarre. Freeland will then be the scene
of such discussion.
County Convention Held.
The annual county convention of the
A. O. 11., B. of E., was held hero on
Saturday, forty-three delegates attend
ing. Burgess McLaughlin opened tho
meeting with an address of welcome.
Several matters pertaining to the wel
fare of tho order in the county were
acted upon, and a set of strong resolu
tions was adopted. The election of
officers resulted in the choice of the
following: County delegate, Neil M.
Sweeney, Plymouth; secretary, John I).
Ilerron, Freeland; treasurer, Hon. M.
F. Noonan, Avoca. The convention in
1890 will be held at Wilkesbarre. The
delegates were tendered dinner at the
Centennial hotel by Division 0, of town.
Mujor Brodlieud Dead.
William Hall Brodhead, of Wilkes
barre, died at his parents' home late on
Friday evening. His death was unex
pected, although it was known for a few
days previous that he was ill. Affection
of the heart was the principal cause of
tho death. Until six mouths ago ho
was a major in the Ninth regiment, and
was looked upon as one of the best
posted men in the county on state mili
tia affairs. Ho was born in Philadel
phia thirty-eight years ago. In 1802 he
was elected to represent Wilkesbarre in
tlie legislature, and made a very good
record at Ilarrlsburg. He was a promi
nent Democrat.
Rights of Policemen Established.
A matter of interest to all towns of
the state was decided the other day by
Montgomery county court. The ques
tion was whether borough police had a
right to arrest anyone outside the limits
of the town. Township constables con
tended that the police had no right to
do it. The court decided that they have
tho right, as it would be very inconve
nient for a policeman chasing a culprit
to stop at the edge of a town and call
for a constable.
Purchased a Property.
The property of John J. McShca, of
Honey Brook, on South Centre street,
lias been purchased by Condy O. Boyle,
of town. It is located directly opposite
Mr. Boyle's place of business, and at
present is occupied by Patrick Carey.
The purchaser was a firm anti-new
county man, but he has no fears that
the movement will affect tho value of
real estate in Freeland. lie is to be
congratulated upon his sound judgment.
The "Wear Well" working shoe for
men cannot be found in any other store

HYDRO-ELECTRIC BATIIS.
The Current Can Now Be Obtained
from Lighting Circuits.
A Curative Agent Which Is Very Popular
In Europe The Simple Apparatus
Used for Mingle Ilaths In
Residences.
Electricity taken from lighting
circuits is now employed in Europe
as a curative agent. The current is
controlled by suitable instruments, so
that the tension is below the point
whore harm could be inflicted to
delicate persons. Electricity in medi
cine has probably not made as great an
advance as its importance merits, but
this may be largely attributable to the
state of empiricism of electro
therapeutics or to the great difficulties
in the way of tho employment of the
electrical apparatus themselves.
Tho idea of employing water in a
bath for conveying the current to a
patient is almost as old as tho
therapeutic application of dynamic
electricity, the electricity being used
in two forms —the continuous current
and tho faradic bath. Tho former La
largely employed in Germany, while
recently interesting researches upon
the faradic current have been made by
French, English and Italian physicians.
Those experimentalists followed up tho
peculiar effects shown by Dr.
d'Arsonval to bo produced on tho
human body by alternating currents
of a definite form —tho sinusoidal form
—in which for a given maximum in
tensity the instantaneous variations
are slightest.
In Franco the employment of this
form of current lias been very success
ful, the method followed considerably
simplifying tho apparatus required for
tho installation. The currents used
are extremely weak. In order to lower
the tension of the current of the light
ing circuit and graduate its strength, a
transformer is employed, which lowers
the tension to fifteon volts. This is
the maximum required, and in a largo
installation each bath is arranged with
a transformer with a sliding armature,
enabling tho tension to be varied grad
ually from fifteen volts to ono or two
volts.
Where only a single bath is to be fit
ted up, as in a private residence, there
is employed a combination in series of
a shocking coil and a small transformer.
Tho whole is placed in a littlo marble
receptacle above tho bath and at ono
dde, as shown in the accompanying 11-
.ustration, reproduced from the Revue
ELECTRIC THERAPEUTICS FROM LIGHTING
CIRCUITS.
Internationale de l'Electrlcite. tfhe
secondary of the transformer moves
along slides, and a rod passing to tho
outside enables tho current to be regu
latod from a maximum to a minimum
strength. The primary circuit is pro
vided with an interrupter. Tho wires
of the secondary proceed directly to
the electrodes, which are simple plates
of metal that can bo placed anywhere
in the bath by means of suspending
hooks. There may also bo added an
amperemeter for continuous and alter
nating currents, by means of which
tho strength of tho currents can be es
timated with strict accuracy.
The conditions under which the eleo
tricity is employed have been fully de
termined by experiment. The first
measurement of interest is that of tho
resistance of the bath whon filled with
ordinary water, and also the intensity
of tho current and tho difference of po
tential at the electrodes. Tho deter
mination of the resistance of tho body
when immersed in tho bath is found by
first testing tho quantity of current re
quired when the subject Is in the bath,
next finding the resistance of the same
quantity of water without the subject,
and then adding tho requisite amount
of water necessary to bring the bath
to the exact level when the subject
was immersed and determining tho
ourrcnt required to overcome tho re
sistance.
The conclusions reached bj* these ex
periments were that, with water of
comparatively good conductivity, tho
human body when submerged offers a
resistance somewhat above that of an
equal volumo of water, and that tho
current passing through the middle
sootion of tho body is equal to about
one-tenth of the total current passing
Into tho bath.
Tho employment of electricity by the
utilization of the industrial currents,
whioh are within the reach of all phy
sicians, connected as they are with tho
lighting system of towns, would seem
to open up a wider field of application
for this method of medical treatment.
Bait on the Contribution Plate.
A well-known bishop tells a story of u
vestryman at a village church who de
liberately took half a crown out of tho
plate as ho brought it up to tho com
munion table and slipped it into his
pocket. "I saw him tako it," said the
bishop, "and intended to charge him
with it at the end of the sorvico, but
carried away by tho sublimity of tho
service I forgot all about it. Next day
I remembered and spoke about it."
"Oh, sir," said tho old man, "never you
worry about that; that half dollar has
done good service for many years. I
keep it to put down first, and then tho
gentry, seeing a poor man like me put
a half dollar in tho plate, can't for
shame give less."
High Prices Pitld for Furs.
Very high prices havo boeq paid for
Airs tiiis year in London. A sea otter
skin, stripped off glove fashion, with
out being cut down tho stomach,
brought $1,125, tho highest price on
record for a single skin, and ono black
fox skin Bold for SB6O. They went to
Russia.
REGARDING FORMOSA.
Tllo I ertllo Island Coded by China to Vic

Very exceptional interest just now
attaches to the Island of Foi'mosa, in
that it will probably change hands at
no distant date as a result of the treaty
between China and Japan. Until the

of the Dutch occupation in the shape of

her aboriginal inhabitants yet linger

driven them steadily backwards to tho
fastnesses of tho mountains, to the in

Thoug each and all possess common

the mountain folk are fierce as hawks,
bred to blood and blows, untamable
and fine haters. Through tho centuries
they have battled with the newcomers,

AGRICULTURAL ANTS.
Wonderful Mexioan Ineoots That
Till the Soil.
Tliey I'lant Fields of OrnlD and by Their
InduHtry and Ingenuity Gain Bub-
HlHtenoo In an Almost Dar
ren Land.
Recently Prof. W. J. McGoe, of the
government scientific corprf, paid a visit
to some very remarkable farmers in
Sonora, Mexico. These are the so
called agricultural ants, which plant
fields of grain and regularly harvest
their crops. Upon the latter they de
pend wholly for food. In fact, if the
crops should fail they would perish of
famine.
The fields of the farmer ant cover
scores of square miles in Sonora. The
home of a colony is marked ordinarily
by a circular clearing from five to thir
ty-flvo feet in diameter, on which noth
ing is permitted to grow. This serves
as a sort of parade and exercise ground.
Around the clearing is a ring of luxuri
ant grass from three to twenty feet
wide. On the seeds of this grass the
insects subsist, planting it every spring
and garnering the crop in tho autumn.
Turnifikes a few inches wide connect
farm with farm for many furlongs.
In tho region described, says tho Now
York World, there is practically no
vegetation except the grusscs cultivated
by these ants. The latter appear to
keep down and exterminate all other
plants, such as cacti, greasewood and
mesquitc. In short, theso insects have
developed an art of agriculture pecul
iar to themselves, have made conquest
of tho land for their needs, and have
artificialized certain cereals as thor
oughly as maize and barley have been
artificialized by man.
"Thus," said Prof. McGee, "the rig
orous environment of the desert has de
veloped one of the most remarkable in
telligences, and, incidentally, an ani
mal and a plant have come to be mu
tually dependent upon each other for
existence."
The agriculture of theso ants seems
to be far more extensive in Sonora than
in Toxas, where their farming opera
tions have been exhaustively described
by Henry C. MeCook. On the flat table
lands of the Lone Star state their
farms are plentifully scattered. TheSe,
liko those of Mexico, are mostly flat
and circular clearings, from which com
munication is had by roads with the
surrounding cultivated herbage. In
tho center of each such clearing is a
hole which serves as a gateway, open
ing Into tho subterranean formicary.
So widely distributed are the farms
that they are found in the very streets
and gardens of Austin, Tex.
At the time of the harvest one or
more of the roads leading to the formi
cary may be seen on any line day to bo
thronged-with workers marching toand
fro in a double column, one going and
one coming. The pathway is trodden
bard by their feet. Those coming uro
heavily laden, each carrying a seed.
They do not gather the seeds from the
grass tops, but pick up those which
have ripened and fallen. For these they
search on the ground in the forest of
grass stalks, feeling for them with their
antenna). Having secured one, a work
er ant lifts it, adjusts the burden so as
to bo carried most easily, and finds her
way back to the road, along which slio
trots homeward, finally disappearing
through the gateway.
Within the gate is a vestibule, from
which a passageway leads downward
at a slant to the room beneath. Some
of these rooms are nurseries for the
rearing of the young of the colony,
while others are granaries in which the
seeds are stored. Usually the rooms
are shaped somewhat like horseshoes,
the walls and floors being neatly and
smoothly finished with plaster, for
which suitable earth is brought from
above and made adhesive with the
Saliva of the insects. There 16 apt to bo
one grand storeroom two inches or so
in height and three or four inches long,
the other apartments being somewhat
Smaller. All of them are formed with
domes.
The seeds before beingstored in the
granaries are husked. All refuse, in
cluding husks and imperfect seeds, is
carried out and thrown outside the
limits of the formicary. Nothing is
permitted to remain on the clearing.
Anything that falls upon it is cut to
pieces and taken away. If a luckless
tumblebug rolls its ball into the for
bidden territory it is driven away, or if
it refuses to retreat it is promptly
killed.
The workers possess very formidable
stings, which are used with effect upon
too inquisitive human beings. The
poison seems to be quite powerful,
causing inflammation and sometimes
nausea. However, the insects are quite
peaceful unless outrageously disturbed.
After they have harvested their grain
in the autumn they carefully cut away
all the dry stubble, so that their fields
may be ready for planting in the
spring. Respecting the methods of
planting adopted by the insects, no re
liable observations have been made up
to date. All of the labor of whatever
description is performed by the work
ers, who are undeveloped females. The
males do nothing, the solo purpose of
their existence boing to perpetuate the
species. The developed females are
destined to become the mothers of fu
ture colonies.
These ants always establish their
colonies in places where there is unob
structed sunlight—doubtless becauso
shade would interfere with their farm
ing operations. If a tree grows up
near them they will cut off every
one of its leaves in early spring. They
work only in the cool of the day.
Worth's Token of Mratltude.
Worth, says the New York Mail and
Express, had a peculiar way of showing
his gratitude to Empress Eugenie.
Every year it was his custom to send
her a large bouquet of Parma violets,
tied with a mauve ribbon, on which his
namo was embroidered in gold. This
act was in grateful memory of her
patronage at a time when her merest
whim could make or ruin a Parisian
tradesman.
