DON'T BLAME THE WORLD.

Don't blame the world because the thorns
are found among the roses;
The day that breaks IN storm may be all
sunshine when 1t closes.
We cannot hope to always meet with for
tunes fond caressing,
And that which seems most hard to bear
may bring with it blessings
That buried seed must rot in earth ere IL
produce the flower.
And the weak plant to fructify must have
both sun and shower; '5E+
So man, to gain development, must struggle
with life's crosses,
And view with calm philosophy his trials
and his losses.
A deadly. poisnous weed may yield salve
of surest healing; 4},
lie sweetest blossom may pois'nous be,
although its bane concealing.
Things are not always what they seem, but
still. twas heaven designed them,
And We should class them all as good and
take them as we find them.
Little we know of this brief life. and
nothing of its sequel;
Then let us take in humble trust all that
may seem unequal.
Gods ways are not our ways, and He should
certainly be trusted;
All that is wrong in His good time will
surely be adjusted.

Some Recent Rasutts Obtained by Professor
Trowbridga of Harvard.
Prof. John Trowbridge of Harvard
told in Baltimore recently of the re-
suits Of his experiments in investi-
eating the heat of the sun and stars.
he uses in these experiments the most
powerful electrical battery in the world.
1t has 10000 cells, with an ordinary
strength of 20, 600 volts, which can be
increased TO 1000, 900 volts by means of
an accumulation specially devised for
the battery. A conclusion arrived at
by the professor is that the amount of
heat in the hydrogen, which is the
chief constituent OF the atmosphere of
the sun, is abouE equivalent to 10, 600
ordinary arc lights. The temperature
OF the sun has generally been given at
l6. 600 degrees Fahrepheit, but Prof.
Trowbridge stated that his spectrum
researches indicated by the voltage
that these figures should be greater.
Further Investigations convinced him,
however, that tine light from the hydro.
gen, is Temperate, affected by electr-
cal disturbances and does not have a
continuous rate of heat. and that the
atmosphere of the sun is the seat of
the tremendous electrical disturbances
which produce in an infinitely short
period immense beat which is not con-
tinuous To give some idea of the heat
OF the SUMS atmosphere. Prof. Trow-
bridge stated that stroke OF lightning
which has come and gone in the mil
lonth part of a second, 10 capable of
developing no less than 1000, zoo horse
power or equalling in strength the same
number OF arc lights.

mas TAKEN ANAPpEAI,

The Hukii-Giipin Trespass Caxe at Middle-
town to Come Before the Superior Court.
Special Correspondence II Gazetteand journal
Middletown. April 90. The now
celebrated Hukill. Gilpin case will be
aired at the coming term of the super
jor court. At the hearing before Squire
Salmons recently the case was decided
In favor of DIR. .Gilpin. representing the
Academy trustees. and the costs we're
therefore imposed upon the defendant.
Martin B. Burris, attorney for Mr..
Hukill,, has taken an appeal and. as
stated, will bring the case before the
superior court.
The suit is probably the moot novel
one which has ever some before the
court. Mr. HukilI nccupies one OF the
stores in the Town Hall, and desired to
paint business sign on the side Of the
building, which side abutted on the
property of the Middletown Academy.
The trustees of the Academy are about
to make some improvements to the
property ana objected to the sign going
up. When the painter attempted the
work he was arrested on the charge OF
trespass, as the Academy property sub.
Joined the Town Hall property and it
was not possible to paint the sign with
out trespasaing on said Academy
grounds. AT the hearing the painter
admitted the charge of trespass but
Mr.. Burris commended that there had
been no trespass unless the trespasser
had done damage TO the property. Ar.
gument on both sides was warm, but
finally resulted in the costs being i'm.
posed upon the defendant. Squire
Salmon maintained thar every man had
alright to control his own property and
that a trespasser was a trespasser
whether he had done damage TO the
property or not.

With the Teams From tho English House
of Commons.
speclalCorrespondenoeo t Gazette sud Journal
Washington. April 22.-Unusual in
terest is being manifested 10 the House
and In Washington generally over the
proposed chess match for the interna-
tional championship which it Is pro-
posed to make between teams from the
House OF Representatives ard the Brit
ish House of Commons. The agitators
of the project in the House OF Repre-
sentatives have cast about for the beat
qualified chess players in that body
and have picked team which they be-
lieye can successfully cope with any
which the 'blarsted Britishers'' can
muster out OF their lower Legislative
body. Among those who will compose
the American team will be Congress-
man Handy of Delaware. An informal
club Of chess players has been formed
in the House and some of the commit
tee rooms have been the scenes at vari-
GUS times within the past few weeks OF
some very interesting chess games. Mr..
Handy has demonstrated in these cou-
tests that he can hold his own with any
member of the House and thus far only
one member, Pearson of North Caro-
lima. has succeeded In defeating him.
He is regarded by the chess enthusiasts
of the House as player OF more than
ordinary ability and will occupy
prominent place on the A American Con-
gressional team. Present plans are, to
include on the team besides Mr..
Handy, Messrs Shannon of New York,
Shafroth Of Colorado, Pearson OF North
Carolina and De GraffeDried of Texas.
The manner in which it is proposed
to play this international game of chess
will in itself be an interesting perform.
ance. The American players, FIVE 10
all, and probably assisted by two ad-
visers each, will assemble bore perhaps
at the big desk Immediately in front OF
the Speakers rostrum. When an
American player makes a move on tho
board in front of him it will be in
stantly telegraphed to New York and
then cabled to London, where the Eng
lish team will be assembled. The Eng
lisnmon will note the Amer ican's move
by cable aud will take his turn. which
will be Immediately conveyed over the
wires to Washington. And 80 the game
will proceed until concluded. 1t is esti-
mated that a game can be played in
a single sitting of one day. Since the
match has been practically arranged
considerable spirit has heen shown in
the matter in the House aud several
bets have already been placed. The
odds, however, favor the English, but
no money is lying idle as a patriotic
feeling exists among members which
moves them to cover any kind of money
which is offered against the Americans.

Mr.. Ponder replied that the charges
of $3.50 looked very suspicious coming

fact that he had offered to give bond
for tho entire 1926 few days ago.
Magistrate Daley after the arguments
Of the attorneys, said that the de.

Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Bridgeville, April % Peaches and
other fruit have been greatly damaged
by frost. Men who have been cultivat.
ing peaches for 20 years express, after
careful examination, the opinion that
20 PER cent of the peaches are dead.
Some growers say 80 per cent. Troths,
Early York and Mountain Rose seem
to have been tile least damaged. The
dead peaches have turned black, and
the slightest touch causes them to fall
from the trees. Peach growers are con-
soled by the fact that a small crop of
the fruit will bring them good returns.
Plums and pears have also been
greatly damaged, some of them SO seri-
ously mat tLey will not yield more than
tenth of crop,
Early varieties OF Strawberries have
been injured, but the only effect upon
the general yield will probably be max
ing it little late in being marketed.
