OPENING OF SCHOOLS.

After nearly three months intermis-
sion for the summer vacation the pub
lie schools of West Scranton will be
opened today for the fall term. During
the interum the buildings have been
renovated, necessary repairs being made
and the lawns and the surrounding
grounds cared for. 1t is expected that
in all buildings and in all departments
the attendance will be larger than US
ual and as a result much arranging
will have to be done.
Most of the members of the corps
of teachers for each building on this
side will return, though in one of two
instances a new lady teacher will be
found. At least two marriages among
the lady teachers have occurred since
the close of the '97-'9S season and theil
places will be filled by others.

WORK ON THE SEWER.

Work on the new sewer will be COM
menced this morning. The benefit
which this will be to the district in
which 1t will be laid cannot be over
estimated.
1t will do away with the flooding of
the cellars along Pittstun avenue and
keep the streets in much better con-
dition after the rain. Che sewer will
be laid in the Eleventh. twelfth and
Nineteenth wards and will take all the
water from the hills down to the Lack
Gwanna river. A large force Of men
will be started on the work this morn
ing and 1t will be but a short time un-
til the work is completed. Dunn
brothers are the contractors.

MODERN war means something
infinitely more terrible than war
during the conflict between the
States. As an instance, there is n
mortar battery on Sandy Hook de
lending the approaches to New
York City. This battery contains
sixty Finch riilcd mnrtars. The
ocean within range of the battery
il laid of in imaginary squares and
the battery trained on some one oi
these squares. An officer, in an
armored turrct remote from the
battery, with "A scientific range
finder Locates IA hostile fleet on the
square and instantly fires by elec-
tric connection the whole battery,
each gun shooting an explosive

of 10000 pounds of exploding met
al each discharge. Each discharge
of the battery costs $4,000; one
hours active firing, Sl.o00,000. 1t
is thought that no ship could last
through such IA shower of missiles.
This battery is so hidden in deep
sand pits and surrounded by nat
ural scenery that il is difficult for
its own officers Ia locate il from
the sea.

famous charge could nave swept
away the whole rebel line with CAT
ling or Maxim guns. Experts with
these gums distributed along IA
battle line would make almost any
sort of charg" in the old fashioned
way suicidal Ia the opposing line.
Pneumatic guns firing dynamite
are another sort of weapon that
NAV prove to I've the most dcstruc-
tive of all artillery. They are II
new invention. The Cuban insur-
gents have some of them, though
hut little has been heard nf them.
They are necessarily yet of short
range, owing to the danger nf eX-
ploding the charge in the weapon.
All these improvements induce in
military authorities the conviction
that battles in the field will par
take largely of the nature Of siege
operations, and strategic skill will
determine the issue, rather than
dash and brilllancy as in former
! times.

THE rush Ia the klondike has
been neglected in the newspapers
of late, owing to the war news over
shadowing all else. However, news
came of the recent destruction on
the Chilcoot trail of thirty to fifty
people by an avalanche of snow.
rhe general condition of affairs in
the whole Alaskan and Klondike
country is reported to be fearful,
and will probably continue so until
ingress and egress are made com
paratively easy by the construction
If railroads. 1t is questionable that
discovery will for at least year or
TWO more add anything to the ag-
gregate wealth of the world. The
percentage of good strikes is small
and the expenses incurred by the
inrushing hordes are enormous in
the aggregate. The loss of life
among the argonauts is probably
greater in proportion than of an
army in active war.
