FOREST FIRES.
The mountains hereabout have re
ceived the usual baptism of spring
fires, and hundreds of acres of land
have been burned over.
The immediate damage is not
great for the annual burning keeps
the timber from growing, but the
prospective damage is beyond cal
culation. If these fires could be
kept out for a few years until the
timber got a good growth, people
would more throughly realize the
importance of making strenuous ef
forts to wholly prevent them.
There exists no good reason why
our hills should be barren of every
vestige of timber. Could those fires
which sweep over them every time
there are leaves enough to burn, be
prevented tor a growth would soon
spring up and in a few years forests
would abound where now there are
nothing but a blackened areas cov
ered with a stunted growth of scrub
oaks.
Our streams in summer dry up,
and when the rains come they are
mountain torrents washing away
the soil which is carried into them
from tho hillsides. Why do not
people realize that conditions have
changed, and that the wasteful
methods of a few years ago must be
supplanted by a vigilant care in or
der to bring bock prosperity. When
lumber was plenty and good our
forests were invaded and the timber
taken off. No hand has been raised
to replace it. The fire came in and
has been coming ever since. Had
proper care boon exercised the sec
ond growth would to-day be worth
more than the virgin forests. Acres
of lund which is now being tilled
would yield more revenue to their
owners had they been kept in tim
ber and properly protected. During
the past winter thousands of feet oi
walnut lumber have been cut along
the valley and sold at a large price.
Has a single tree been planted to re
place them ? We venture to say no
. Future generations will have no
reason to rise up and call us blessed
when they recall what we might
with little trouble and expense have
done for them, but which we care
lessly.improvidontly and criminally
neglected.
Can not something be done to
arouse the people to the importance
of these matters ? It tukes time to
grow trees. Money cannot buy time
but you can take time by the fore
lock and plact trees now, and pro
tect those which would naturally
spring up. Do not wait for the
State to act, act yourself.
MR. HART'S RECORD.
The Philadelphia Ledger Bays
"Should Judge Kirkpntrick decide
to make the run this year, he can
. not exitot to hud the same condi
tions in tho Eigtht District which
were so fuvorable to him at the last
election. Congressman Hart has
made a favorable record and has
succeeded in quieting his enemies
Monroe county, which gave hark
Patrick a good Democratic vote
cannot be sufoly counted upon to do
the same this year. Moreover, the
Republicans of Monroe are not quite
bo enthusiastic over the prospect of
Kirkpu trick's nominations us they
were a year asjo. - The reason for
this is the treatment this county re
ceived at the hands of General
Reader and his Northampton
friends,Tvho Ifrnnrod Monroe's claims
In the election of National Delegate.
Itoedor elected J. M. Drieslmch, of
Carlron, and it Is considered that
Carbon county, was not entitled to
the honor this year.
Now, here is a favorable oppor
tunity to test fhe Roentgen rays In
discovering what Mr. Hart has done
to make ft record. That he may
have "quieted his enemies in Mon
roe" is possible, but we never un
derstand they wore his enemies only
on the score as they alleged of his
general unfitness for the place. We
wish the Ledger would be specific.
The Republicans of Monroe are pro
bably better able to speak as to their
enthusiasm than our Democratic
friends.
Judge Albright, sitting specially
at Mauch Cliunck April 11, handed
down a decision in the case of the
appeal of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company from the assess
ment of their coal lands as revised
by the commissioners. The old as
sessment was (449,475. The com
missioners raised it to 11,942,500 and
the court has fixed it at tl, 195,000,
or an increase of 200 per cent. The
Lehighton Pres., m-v inis company
(not to speak of other companies)
will pay into the county treasury
each year 17,300 more than they
have been in the past. The people
of Carbon county are to be congra
tulated on having Buch an efficient
board. Its political complexion is
two Republicans and one Democrat.
We hear Judge Martin's retire
ment from the bench commented on
both by Democrats and Republicans
in one direction only ; and that is,
that his course judically has been
strictly impartial to men of all poli
tical shades of opinion. Probably
no Sussex county judge has ever
won a more unanimous endorsement
as to his ability and freedom from
bias in the discharge of his duties
than he. Wantage Recorder.

HE SAW THE HEART.
Tenia's Wnnrterfnl Kxpertmsiits With ths
FInorMeent BVreen and X Ravs.
Nitw York, April 88. Nikola Tesla la
till devoting a great deal of time to th
olentlflo Investigation of the Roentgen
ray effects.
In a long communication to The Eleo
tttcal Review of this city, published to
day, he announce, among others, two In
teresting results he has achieved.
One of these Is that If a sensitive film
be plaoed between two plates, say of mag
nesium and oepper, a true Roentgen radio
graph would be obtained after a very long
exposure In the nnrk.
Another wonderful result Tesla has ob
tained Is that by the nse of a new type of
fluorescent screen devised In his labora
tory he ba been able to greatly Increase
the sharpness of the outlines in a shadow
on the screen and to actually see the hu
man henrt. Regnrdlng this Tesla says:
"Ry the nse of the above annaratns I
have been enahled toexamlne much better
than before tho body by means of the
fluorescent screen. Presently the vertebral
column can be seen quit dearly, even In
the lower part of the body. I have also
clearly noted the outlines of the blp bones.
Looking In the region of the heart, I have
been able to locate It nnmlstaknbly. The
background appeared much brighter, and
this difference In the Intensity of the shad
ow and surrounding has surprised me
'The ribs I enuld see on a number
of occasions quite distinctly, as well as
the shoulder bones. Of course there Is no
dlffloulty whatever In observing the bones
of all the limbs."
This latter discovery, he thinks, Is oapa-
ble of extensive praotloal application.

FL0TTED WITH SIGNS
8HINBURN, THE BANK BOBBER, HAS
A SWEETHEART.
A Toting Woman Court Stenographer He
roines Interested In the Fraudulent
Count Raid to Have Planned For Hh
Ksrape From the Albany Penitentiary.
Albany, April 88. Count Max Shin
burn, the king of bank robbers, Is in love,
or, at least, professes to lie. His sweet
heart la one ot the stenographer In thi
county olerk's offlce In this elty. Thell
courtship was Oft Tried on by means of th
deaf and dumb language
A week ago the oouut endeavored to rut.
the Jail by locking the door to the pit In
whloh the prisoners are confined. By do
ing this he could keep the jail attendant!
from get-ting near htm.
Sblnburn managed to stuff the keyholt
of the pit door with wire, so that the key
oould not be put In. He then stood guard
over the door with an iron poker and
threatened to brain any man who went
near the door. To get the oount away
from the door Janitor Colllpy had to go
into the jailyard and shoot the noted pris
oner In the leg.
At that time the jail officials suppressed
the story, presumably to make up enrns
suitable excuse for the occurrence. The
reason given out was that this was only a
dodge of Shlnbnrn'i to make people think
he was erazy.
The true phase of the occurrence hat
just been lenrnod.
When this last esoapade occurred, Shin-
burn was confined In a oell directly across
from the oounty olerk's office In the elty
hall. On the eastern side of the oounty
olerk's office Is a window. Looking out on
the jailyard Is the stenographer's office.
In this otlioe shlnburn s sweetheart works
from 8 O'clock In the morning until 5
o'olook In the afternoon. She Is an adept
at the deaf and dumb language.
Used Deaf Mute Signs.
Somewhere In tha : neighborhood ot
Maroh 14 this young lady happened to
glance across th Jail courtyard Into th
jail window and spied the famons robber
looking wistfully through the Iron bars at
her. She Innocently made the sign to
him whloh meant, "What are yon in jail
forf" He motioned baok, "My name is
Max.Shlnburn; and I never did anything
In my life, but the people here say I am a
bank robber."
From that day to this the two have kept
np the conversation, nntil now the Inno
cent girl Is head over heels in love with
the noted scoundrel.
About two weeks ago, it Is said, the
girl remained at the office until every on
else had left and that the two oonspirator
for suoh they mnst be called hatched a
plot, whloh, If successful, would, have
given Shlnburn his liberty.
The plan was to have the oount fasten
the door to the pit and atnnd guard over It
until darkness oame. Then he was to
leave the door and go to a certain window,
where he would find his sweetheart wait
ing with a saw, a revolver and some mon
ey. Unfortunately for them, the plan was
not successful, beoanse Shlnburn was
stopped by Jniler Colllpy before he oould
got the things from his sweetheart. The
poor girl waited until she heard her lov
er's yell after being shot, and then she fled.
Since that time Shlnburn has been oon
flned in another part of the jnll, while the
girl goes about ber woTk almost heart
broken. It is said that she has made
numerous efforts to see and aid the count,
but has always failed.
Whon the jail authorities were asked
about the matter, they became very Indig
nant and refused to give any information,
laying It was none of the publio's business.
Count Shlnburn has been oonflned in
the Albany county jail for seven months
awaiting trial for the Mlddleburg bank
robbery. During that time he has mad
numerous attempts to esoap. Of course
he Is only using the girl as a tool, bat she
thinks differently.
