board of county commissioners for the ex-
porting Of the books and records in the
auditors Office will entail the expenditure
Of from s. so 20 g 90 in addition TO the
outlay of money already incurred in SINH
lar work
All the books and records of the audi
tors ONCE are 20 pass through the same
process as have the records in the read
and bridge fund and those OF the county
clerks office. Mr.. Young is 10 go through
the auditors Office. furnishing the serv-
ices Of himself and three others. fer the
agreed compensation OF $3.50 per day.
Mr.. Young said yesterday that II will
require about six months 10 complete the
work. He is to take the records and check
them Up from January il. 1921. down 70 the
present time. Figuring twenty-six work
ing days in a month. IL will be seen that
the job Will cost the county s2ss6.
Mr.. Young has received as high as SO

Lights and Shadows.

TunkhannOCk has recently been il
Illuminated by electricity and now the
leading newspapers of the town are in
"A wranglc regarding the dangers of
the chained lightning. One paper
warns persons against busting inCan-
descent globes while the current is
turned on, and another brings letters
to prove that the current used in
Tunkhannock for lighting purposes is
as harmless as Castoria and would
not injure a baby" Another question
which veXes the residents is the fur
nishing of lights for the court house
park. The sum set aside by the bOr-
Ough for lighting purposes will scarce
ly supply the heart of the town, not
to speak of the suburbs and river bank,
where the arc candle would be useful
to the citizen who occasionally in
dulges in the sport of spearing eels.
The taxpayers of the town therefore
feel that the county commissioners
ought to furnish lights for the court
house square But the commissioners
hesitate. The expenditure of county
money to furnish illumination Tor
Tunkhannock while the taxpayers of
East Lemon, West Nicholson, Skin
ner's Eddy and Square Top are obliged
to stumble in the dim rays of the tai
low dip or kerosene burner at night is
a serious question that might be made
! one of the political issues of the future.
1t is problem that to a certain extent
| staggers the board Of Wyoming. 1t
| may be possible that when the good
citizens of the town and county be-
come accustomed to the glare of the
new light these perpleXing questions
will adjust themselves to the situation,
| but at present the recent effort to turn
on the light in the enterprising village
| bids fair to be the source of incalcul-
| able difficulties

Wizard TeSIa'sLatest

Nicola Tesla is credited in some of
the papers with having devised a
simple and inexpensive process to gen
crate electricity from the rays Of the
sun. Nicola Tesla gets credited these
days with good many wonderful
feats which are news as well to him
as to the laity; but if this latest report
has any basis of fact it is only step
In the line Of long foreshadowed pro-
gress.
The following description of Tesla's =
new device is from the New York
World: In the center of a large room
with a glass roof Tesla will place IA
huge cylinder of thick glass. This will
repOse on bed of asbestos and be sup
ported by firm stone pedestal placed
in the center of the room. The circle
Will be laid lengthwise and will be sur
rounded by circle OF complicated
mirrors that may be covered with as
bestos coats. These mirrors viii re-
fract the rays of the sun into the glass
cylinder. The cylinder VIII always be
kept fun of water which has been
chemically treated by a secret process
which Tesla has devised, and which,
he says, Is tile only complicated part
Of the discovery. All day long, while
the sun shines, its rays viii be re-
fracted into the great cylinder The

Concerning Big Guns,

The esteemed Pittston Gazette re-
marks: Scranton entcrtains bun
dreds of big guns every winter at ban
Quets and receptions. Scranton people
are wise beyond their nelghbors. Ii
costs comparatively little to show the
big guns good time ana the latter
i'm turn spread the fact of Scranton's
hospitality and enternrise and magni-
ticence from one eEd Of the country
10 the other. We have a suspicion that
the sagacity of the Electric City's
Board of Trade secretary encourages
these conventions and banquets which
bring so many people 10 the city and
advertise ii so widely. Scranton IS
certainly entitled TO the honor of be-
ing the metropolis of Northeastern
Pennsylvania. and the city's popula- =
ton and wealth continue to grow at a
wonderful rate"
The inference which envlous people
might derive from the Gazettes words

tons board of trade or some other Scran-
ton organization employs a professional
lion-hunter TO lasso the notables and

AS to Interstate Commerce.

The putatVe father of interstate
commerce law, Senator Cullom. has
proposed number Of amendments to
that statute with a view of restoring
to it the vitality taken from 1t by sue
cessive court opinions. Chief of them
is one comforting upon the interstate
commerce commission the power to fix
maximum and minimum rates when
necessary to prevent discrimination,
and inasmuch as this proposition is the
nub of the whole contention it may be
worth while to consider it briefly.
As the law stands. the shipper who
can prove discrimination can collect
damages through an equity proceed
ing; but in order to do this he must
have enough nerve and money to en-
gage in an uncertain, expensive and
protracted legal battle in which the
railroad holds the principle points Of
advantage. If he wins, he gets his own
money back but receives no assurance
that the road will not skin him again,
perhaps i'm the very next transaction.
The other shippers who have also
been victimized get no redress unless
they, likewise. sue and prove their
case. Appeal to the interstate com
merCe commission is useless. for that
body is powerless. 1t can collect testi-
mony and offer advice, but it's testi-
mony is not admitted as part of the
evidence in the equity proceedings and
its advice lays no commands on the
railroads. A fifth wheel to a wagon
would not be more superfuOus for all
the purposes of utility than is the in
terstate commerce commission under
the ruling Interpretation of the act by
which it was created.
One of two things must be done by
congress if it have any regard for con-
sistenCy-either repeal the interstate
commerce act wholly, leaving the rail-
way business entirely free from federal
regulation, or so strengthen that law
that the agents employed in its en-
forcement will have sufficient authority
to protect the great body of shippers
against gross imposition. OF these al
ternatives the latter is manifestly pre-
ferable and congress should not delay
it's adoption.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-12-30

chemical treatment makes the water
easily susceptible to heat and in little
time the vaporizing begins. The great
quantity of steam which is rapidly
generated in the cylinder is carried to
steam engine of ordinary construc-
tion. The engine in turn will gener-
ate electricity, which will be stored in
a large power-house, from which it
will be transmitted by cables to the
factory and to the home. The power
house will store sufficient electricity
to meet all demands during the time
that the sun does not shine, although
II may he clouded for weeks at time
Anything which appears in the New
York World is to be regarded with in
credulity until corroborated elsewhere; ;
but on the other hand. nothing cred
tied to Nicola Tesla can safely be dis
missed as preposterous until there is
proof that it is imaginary. In this
state of suspense the public listens
patiently for Mr.. Tesla's own version
of this alleged new discovery or enter
prise

Intellectual.

Report has it that formidable in
Washington to bear on congress with a
view to blocking further efforts to re-
strict immigration. This opposition is
made up Of a number of elements; the
immigrant steamship companies and
their agents, the demagogues who prey
on ignorant immigrants, and finally a
class Of honest but mistaken people
who contend that additional immigra-
tion in large volume will not for many
years be dangerous and that to dis
criminate in the admission Of immi-
grants is to violate the spirit OF our
free institutions.
The subject is one concerning which
no new arguments are nowadays posi-
BILE. the whole matter being fully un-
derstood by all. The great majority of
Intelligent Americans approve the call
for increased restriction, so that it is
clearly the duty of congress to act in
this direction. The one point now fair
ly open to discussion touches the meth
cd of discriminating between admissi-
Ole ana undesirable immigrants. We
confess to some doubt as to the efficacy
of the literacy test provided in the
Lodge bill, which requires the reading
in one language of 25 words taken at
random from the United States consti-
tuition; but until a better test offers,
common sense would appear to demand
that this one receive a trial. In that
event experience would reveal defects
and thus enable a subsequent congress
to correct them.
Certain it is that no foreign steam
ship lobby or other eX parte advocates
of wide-oDen doors Will be permitted
to defeat the public demand for the
safeguarding through immigration re.
striction of American labor and Amer,
lean society.
