George Byron Gordon, the ex-
plorer, contributes an article on
1.-THE Mysterious City of Honduras" ="
to a late Century. The article gives
an account of recent discoveries at
Copan. He says:
"No regular burying ground has
yet been found at Copan, but a
number of isolated tombs have been
explored. The location of these
was strange and unexpected-be-
meath the pavement of the court
yards and under the foundations of
houses. They consist of small
chambers of very excellent mason
ry, rooted sometimes by means of
slabs of stone resting on top of the
vertical walls In these tombs one,
and som stimes two interments had
been made. The bodies had been
laid at full length upon the floor
The cerements had long since mould
ed away, and the skeletons them
selves were in q crumbling condition
and gave little knowledge of the
physical characteristics of the peo-
pie, but one fact of surprising inter.
est came to light concerning their
private lives, namely: the custom
of adorning the front teeth with
gems inlaid in the enamel, and by
filling Although not all the sets
found have been treated in this way,
there are enough to show that the
practice was general, at leastamong
the upper classes for all the tombs
opened, from their associations
with prominent houses, seemed to
have belonged to people of rank and
fortune. The stone used in the in
laying was bright green jadeite,
A circular cavity about one-six-
teenth of an inch in diameter was
drilled in the enamel of each of the
two front teeth of the upper row,
and inlaid with a little disk of
jadeite cut to a perfect fit and Sc
cured by means of a bright red
cement. "

Dairy Feeds.

Bulletin Al of the Pennsylvania
State College on tests of dairy feed,
comparing buckwheat middlings,
dried brewers grains and cerealine
for milk and butter production. The
general opinion is that the above
are equally valuable when fed ju-
diciously, as part of balanced ra-
ton.
That none of these foods produced
determined effect upon the flavor
or quality of the milk and butter
and that in view of these results
the choice of these foods would de-
pend entirely on their respective
cost. That, with the prevailing
prices for dairy products and food
stuffs, and with good COWS, milk
and butter can be produced at such
cost as to leave considerable margin
of profit for the dairyman. These
experiments, therefore, prove the
truth of what we said last week re-
garding the profit in milk even at
low prices, especially if the farmer
will confine his feeding more closely
to the products he can raise at COM
paratively little cost, such as hay,
corn stalks, corn meal, and buck
wheat, with the small amount of
linseed meal he might buy. Feed
ing for profit is science, but one
easy to master, and thoughtful
farmers will note carefully the ad-
vantages to be gained by a study of
these experiments made for their
particular benefit and information.

DANGEROUS odora-

The Boston Transcript tells its
readers what smells are dangerous.
A single sniff of highly concentrated
prussic acid will kill man as quick
ly as a shot through the heart. The
odor of bad egg is due to the pre-
sence of sulphureted hydrogen, and
the Objectionable perfumes of sewers
and bone factories are attributable
chiefly to the same gas Chemical
laboratories are famous for bad
smells, Barzelius, who discovered
the element called "selenium, once
tried the experiment of permitting
a bubble of pure hydrogen selenide
gas to enter his nostrils. For days
afterwards he was not able to smell
strong ammonia tho olfactory nerves
being temporarily paralyzed. Sell
enium gas has the odor of putrid
horseradish. Tellurium is even
worse. There is story of physi-
clan whose patient, q lady, refused
to take an absolutely necessary rest
because she was so fond of being
always on the go in society. He
gave her pill continuing small
quantity of tellurium, and her
breath was affected by it to such an
extent she was not able to appear in
public fora month. She never guessed
what the trouble was. The volatil-
zed essential oil of roses is supposed
to cause "rose cold" This peculiar
complaint is SO far nervous in its
character that paper roses some
excite it.

EDITORIAL.
THE GLEN PURCHASE.

In ANOTHER column we print q
communication on the subject of
the proposed purchase of the Glen
We cordially endorse the senti.
ments of the writer, and wish to be
recorded as favoring the project,
can it be lawfully accomplished
The question of price is one which
admits of honest difference of opin-
ion, and while intrinsic value is one
thing, circumstances and surround
ings and wise foresight oftentimes
warrant this to be subjected to
a degree to other considerations
but neither should sentiment wholly
control the matter. Disinterested
Judgment should temper such ne
gotiations, and while it is in the
province of the owner to fix the
amount and refuse to consider a
less sum, it is equally the duty of
the proposed purchaser to be gov
erned by spirit of fairness to both
the owner and the public, and to
pay such price as may be consistent
with actual value and the benefit to
be derived to the town from this
ornamental acquisition.

Under this title the American
Agriculturist makes some very APP
propriate and sensible suggestions,
and says it should be something
more than a noisy day. 1t possess
es a new and larger significance and
should be observed with befitting
dignity. The object in each town
or county should be to so arouse
the whole people that with diligent
economy of funds but with liberal
contributions of personal service by
old and young, exercises may be
conducted that shall fifty express
those great principals
4. The popular satisfaction with
republican institutions, regard for
our forefathers who established
them, honor to the heroes of 1915
who perpetuated them.
2. Our delight that the preiudices
begotten by the revolution are pass
ing away, but our universal JOY over
the abolition of the sectionalism
caused by the Civil war.
3. Our desire for the most gener-
GUS development of this spirit of
national unity that knows no north
no south, no east, no west, but one
country, one flag, the republic i'm
perishable.
4. Our support of the government
in the present war, our regard for
its intrepid forces on land and sea
whether in victory or defeat, and es-
pecially our love for the brave men
atthefront from our own locality
and state.
8. Our purpose to help our men
in army and navy, and especially
those dependent upon them at home,
with our sympathy, our services
and freely with our money. A gen.
erous collection for this purpose
would be far wiser and more patriot
ic than to spend the money for fire
works.
and lastly. Our confidence in a
glorious future for America, our
faith that with the help of the God
Of nations this people shall work out
the problems which destiny has in
store for a government and civil
ization that more than ever are to
be the hope and inspiration of the
world.

No ONE can object to improve
ments which add to the comfort and
prosperity of the Borough, but care
should be exercised that they are
not allowed to mar the natural
beauty of the place more than is
absolutely necessary. Centre Square
has always been without shade
trees, at least on three sides of it.,
and now that small naples have
been planted along High st. 1t
seems that the authorities should
not allow telephone wires to be
strung directly over them. In time
there will be an Interference, and it
is easier to obviate the possibility
when such work is being done, than
to remedy the difficulty in the
future.

Broadened Freedoms Path
Way.

What our fathers did they did not
only for themselves, but for all who
speak the English tongue The les
sons taught by our struggle and vic
tories are as lasting as our race and
broader than the vast territory we
cover today. When, therefore, we
celebrate the Declaration of Inde-
pendence we celebrate not only the
courage and conduct of ancestors
whose defendants we are, but the
brave and far sighted deed of ser
wants of mankind who not only found
ed an empire, but broadened the path
way of civilization, progress and
freedom around the world.-Thomas

Signing the Declaration.

When the greatest document of
human liberty since the day of
Magma Charta was finally passed,
it is related that John Hancock, in
signing the document 'in letters
large enough for George Ill to read
without spectacles," urged upon
his comrades the necessity of chang.
ing together in this matter" "Yes
indeed" interrupted the facetious
Ben Franklin 1--WE must all hang
together or assuredly we must all
hang separately" when it comes
to hanging, said Harrison, the lux
urious, heavy gentleman from Vir-
ginia, lex President Harrisons great
grandfather), to the little meager
Gerry of Massachusetts,, II shall
have the advantage of you. 1t will
be all over with me long before you
have done kicking in the air. 4" The
glad news of independence was com
municated to the throngs in the
street, and a tradition asserts that
the old bellman in the tower tolled
the knell of tyranny and rang in the
birth of new nation, great, glor-
ious and free, amid the Joyous ac-
carnations of the crowd.-Ex.

Cured.
This day, July 3, seemed to the
patriots assembled in Philadelphia
the most memorable in history.
They fully believed that future gen.

wrote to his wife: "The I'd day Of

orable epoch in the history of Amer.

generations as the great anniver.

One of the men who signed the
Declaration of Independence is said
to have expressed the desire that
he might rise from his grave a hun
dred years later TO witness the
manner in which posterity observed
the Fourth of July. If his wish
oonld have been gratified, the ven
cradle patriot would have found a
decided change in the manner of the
celebration, but none in the feeling
which INSPIRED it. Posterity, too,
would undoubtedly have turned the
tables on him, eagerly questioning
him in turn as to the celebrations

its questions can be answered, ,-Ex-
