A Law Not asnerally KNOWN.

There is a law in Pennsylvania,
passed in 1879 and approved by Gov
ernor Hoyt, providing "that any per-
son liable to road tax who shall trans
plant to the side of the public high
way, on his own premises any fruit,
shade, or forest trees shall be allowed
by the Supervisors of Roads, AN abate-
ment of his road tax, one dollar for
every four trees set" This is a good
law, but probably not very generally
known. II ught to be given more
publicity and result in the plar ting oI
trees along the public road, aud in a
few years there will be miles of shaded
aud beautiful roadways throughout
the country. Let our people remem
ber this and next Arbor Day set oul
trees along the pu' : roads of tn,
country and thus become public bene
factors with but little or no cost ia
themselves.

One of the curiosities of this county,
u curiosity that does not appear in the
histories, is the burning mine at Sum
NIT Hill. 1t has been on fire since 1858,
and no scheme or device, though many
have been tried, have suppressed
the flames. You can see nothing but
a hill from which steam and gas es
capes at thousand different points
The rocks are so hot that sometimes il
is impossible to touch them without
pain, and all vegetation on the noun
tain has long since disappeared. How
deep the fire extends there are NJ
means of knowing, but it must certain
ly be a miniature volcano, and thous
ADDS upon thousands of tons of Goa
since the fire first started have thu
been slowly consumed.

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1892-07-21

In Norway and Sweden curious mi
grafton takes place, the irregular migra-
ton of the lemming. There is no tell
ing where this strange animal will be-
gin its march southwark through Nor
way and Sweden in search Of food. The
interval between one migration and the
next is seldom less than seven years or,
as in one instance, more than seventeen
years.
The lemming is a species of rodent
and resembles in some ways our COM
mon water rat Once started, these
strange creatures press on in a straight
line. There is no checking their march.
If wall or house liz in their way they
will try to climb it rather than go around
it, and if they come to stack of corn
they will eat 1t and then go forward.
The Jennings are good swimmers, and
so they do not mind rivers and ponds,
although they cannot keep afloat in
rough water.
The migration comes to fatal finish
Taking direct course toward the south
west and southeast, the animals arrive
after awhile at the seashore. Still they
must press on, and the lemming migra
ton ends for another seven years.. l.
