thereafter to Highland, Eckley, Jeddo
and Oakdale. The plant must be erect
ed within or near the limits of the bor-
ough.
II. E. Sweeney, of Drifton, spoke
about the introduction of electric lights,
and desired to know how many arc lights
the borough would be prepared to take
so as to enable the company to prepare
their estimates. Council agreed to take
the question up at a future meeting.
The lookup committee reported that it
would be better to repair the old water
closet than to make new one, in view
of the fact that it may become necessary
to vacate the present site at some future
time. They were authorized to make
the necessary repairs.
P. NJ. Boyle, the borough surveyor,
asked permission to have the maps so as
to look over them preparatory to the
laying out of the next section of sewer.
Permission was granted.
The council agreed to make tour of
the park on Saturday evening, and view
the place complained of by the water
company, also lay out the next section
of the sewer.
The assessor was instructed to assess
the dogs, and to be paid the same COM
pensation as formerly paid for such
service.
A committee from the Citizens Hose
Company asked council to allow them to
make Improvements on the dancing
platform in the park. The matter was
postponed until Saturday evening.
Patrick Meehan asked permission to
remove all loose stones from the park.
1t was granted to him, provided no
damage be done to any of the trees.

Before the Supreme Court.

The case of Mrs. Margaret Finnegan
VS.. Foster township, which was decided
in favor of the plaintiff by the Luzerne
county court and appealed by the town
ship, will come before the state supreme
court at Philadelphia about the 10Th
inst. Mrs. Finnegan, who resides near
the G. r. r. of N. J. between White
Haven and Glen Summit, was driving
from Freeland to Upper Lehigh ore
evening in May, 1890, and when crossing
over the sulphur creek at South Heber-
ton the horse walked off the bridge and
into the creek, capsizing the carriage.
Owing to this accident Mrs. Finnegan
sustained severe injuries, and brought
suit against the township for 10000.
On October Z, 1892, she was awarded
judgment for $500 and costs of the case,
but the townships attorneys, John D.
Hayes and E. A. Lynch, appealed to the
supreme court. The decision of the lat
ter tribunal is awaited with much in
terest here, and if it sustains the lower
court the township will be about $4,000
more in debt.

NEW USE FOR THE BICYCLE.

A Boston Genius Makes 1t Carry a Fire
ExtinguIsher.
Boston has discovered new line of
usefulness for the bicycle. Some in
ventive genius, says Hardware, has
tank and a fire AK, with which expert
ments are now going on ut the house
of ladder company in South Boston.
One of the bicycle houses of that city
fitted up machine of this sort some
time ago and sent it to the worlds
fair to be placed in it's exhibit, and the
machine at South Boston is the second
one of the sort ever tried. The captain
of the ladder company says that the
practical value of the experiment could
not be estimated at present. The ma
chine is being tried by one of his men,
who is a Waterman and for whom it
was made.
1t is ladies' light roadster with
cushion tires, and with it's whole outfit
weighs about sixty pounds. The chem
zeal tank, fixed between the head of
the machine and the seat, holds about
two gallons of chemicals, which
amount as al extinguishcr to twelve
pals OF water. In speaking of the ex-
pertinent the captain says: ''On the
back bay or in the outskirts of the
city. where there are good roads, the
machine may be of use in extinguish-
ing slight fires caused by smoking

like. but Oh the pavements of the city

freedom. Readers will learn with sur
prise, therefore, says the New York
Tribune, that we are about to witness
an exodus of the Jews from the small
republic, due to the enactment of
measures characterized by as much in
tolerance as those decreed by the car,
for which he has been roundly abused.
According to a, legislative poll, just
made of the entire electorate of the
Swiss republic, the Jews are hence
forth to be prohibited from slaughter
ing animals used for food in the man
ncr prescribed by the Talmud. In
future the slaughter of any animal is
absolutely forbidden unless it is rem
dcred insensible before being bled.
This practically debars the ten thou
sand Hebrews established in Switzer-
land from eating meat, and restricts
them to a vegetarian diet. The people
responsible for this extraordinary
piece of legislation are the members of
the society for the prevention of
cruelty TO animals, who, after having
their demands in the matter defeated
in both houses of the federal legisla-
ture, have now succeeded, through the
new piece of constitutional machinery
known as the referendum, in attaining
their object by appealing directly to
the people, most of whom are without
information on the point at issue,
while the greater part of the remainder
are entirely Indifferent to the matter,
one way or the other.

Nickel Hunters.

Anyone who chances to take stroll
just before sunrise along the line of
any of the surface railways in New
York, will be sure to see from two to
dozen men walking near the tracks
with hands in pockets and heads bent
down. He may also observe that the
conductors and drivers on the infre-
quent horse cars of that early hour
also have their eyes turned earthward.
They are all hunting for money. Dur
ing the night, and particularly when
the after theater homeward rush is on.
the conductors are very busy collect
ing fares and making change by the
dim light of the car lamps. In the
process both they and the passengers
allow more or less small coin to Sin
through their fingers, and it is for the
dimes and niclels that have rolled to
the pavement that search is made at
dawn. The change that falls beneath
the floor stats, of the closed cars De
longs TO the cleaners at the stables.

AN OPTICAL PHENOMENON.
Peculiar Silhouettes Seen from the Top O
. High Mountain in Telemarken.

Peculiar Silhouettes Seen from the Top Of
High Mountain in Telemarken.
A correspondent of Nature at Chris
tiania gives an account of a very curl
Gus phenomenon witnessed from the
top of Gausta mountain (height six
thousand Norwegian feet) in Tele-
marlzen, south of Norway. eve were
party" he says, ''of two ladies and
three gentleman on the summit of this
mountain on August 4. On the morn
ing of that day the sky was passably
clear; at noon there was thick fog.
Between six and seven o'clock in the
afternoon (the wind being south to
southwcst) the fog suddenly cleared in
places SO that we could see the sur
rounding country in sunshine through
the riffs. We mounted to the flagstaff
in order to obtain better view of the
scenery, and there we at once observed
in the fog, in an easterly direction, a
double rainbow forming a complete
circle, and seeming to be twenty to
thirty feet distant from us. In the
middle of this we all appeared as black,
erect and nearly life-size silhouttes.
The outlines of the silhouettes were
so sharp that we could easily recognize
the figures of each other, and every
movement was reproduced. The head
of each individual appeared to occupy
the center of the circle, and each of us
seemed to be standing on the inner
periphery of the rainbow. We esti-
mated the inner radius of the circle to
be six feet. This phenomenon lasted
several minutes, disappearing with the
fog bank, to be reproduced in new fog
three Or four times, but each time more
indistinctly. The sunshine during the
phenomenon seemed to us to be un-
usually bright. Mr.. Kielland- Torkild-
sen. president of the Telemarken Tour
list club, writes to me that the builder
of the hut on the top of Gausta has
twice seen spectacles of this kind, but
in each case it was only the outline of
the mountain that was reflected on the
fog. He had never seen his own image.
and he does not mention circular or
other rain bows
