MT, LEBANON M. {. CHURCH.

The Old 1sniiding Greatly Improved
During tho Last Sixteen Months.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Journal
Rookland July 12.--Within the last
l6 months, extensive improvements
have been made at Mt. Lebanon M. e.
Church. This church, an old stone
structure. has stood In, it's present looa-
tion from it's foundation, about 65 years.
Some of the old-time preachers OF
Methodism made Its walls vocal with
their mighty calls to repentance. 1t
has been the scene OF many remarkable
revivals of religion, and some of the
older ones who now attend its services
are frequently heard discussing what
they term these powerful seasons. "
Up to a few years past, the property
was allowed to decline; but within the
past l6 months, 1t has undergone exten.
s;ye repairs. The inside of the building
has been thoroughly renovated. Old
pews have been removed, and new oom-

niture has been replaced by new !; the
entire floor has been carpeted; the whole
interior PAINTED, with apr opriate
notices over door and pulpir, and ad
ditional maps set In place. Those who
now Worship in the historic building
find comfort for their bodies. On the
outside, the stone steps, by which
ascension WAS had to the grounds, have
been removed from their former incon-
venient location and placed directly in
front OF the church door the stone wall
surrounding the property has been
buttressed and put In proper shape.

The trustees conferred upon W. At.

community, the privilege Of taking the

the cemetery. This cemetery for years
had almost lain waste; but under the
energetic efforts Of Mr.. Wilson, assisted
by the ready members OF the church
and community, Ia now surrounded by
o neat and substantial wire fencing,
which COST about 500. Since this, q
number OF lots have been sold, the
overgrown grass and weeds have been
oleared out, new tonlbstones have been
erected, and the old place looks as il
the hands of genuine and permanent ad
vancement had been laid upon it. II
seems that the ancient scripture is true
of this place: Thus saith the Lore
God, In the day that | shall have
oleansed you from all your iniguities,
will also cause you to dwell In thu
cities, and the waste shall be builded
and the desolate land shall be titled
whereas it lay desolate in the sight o
all that passed by. And they shall say
this land that was desolate is becom,
like the Garden of Eden."

Interesting Significance of Queer Names of
Certain New Yorl. Towns.
Tho brilliant genius who planted SO
many classical names in Central New
York, was compelled at last to stay his
hand from exhaustion. In the geo.
graphical nomenclature OF that region
many Indian names, historic in their
interest and associated with the first
owners OF the soil, still remain In spite
Of him. Students have long sought TO
learn their meanings and in many cases
have succeeded, hut in others their re.
searches have heen in vain.
Mr.. Halsey, author of 1.-THE Old New
York Frontier" which the Scribners
have recently published, has appended
many of these definitions as foot notes
to the text Of his book. and they make
all interesting feature OF it. For Mo-
hawk, two definitions have been given,
one Bear; the other man eater, the
Mohawk Indians having at one time
been cannibals. Oneida means People
Of the Stone; Onondaga, People of the
Mountain; Schenectady, Beyond the
Pine Groves; Chemung, Big Horn;
Erie. cat; Genesee, Beautiful Valley;
Chenango. Bull Thistles; Owego,
Where the Valley Widsns; Oswego'

Washes Itself, Ia reference to the
circular gorge in the creek) Susque-
hanna, River With Long Reaches;

Voice; Sohoharie, Driftwood Unadilla,
Meeting Place of the Waters; Oneonta,
a Stony Place. and Minisink, Land
From Which the Water Has Gone.
| Indian names in Pennsylvania for
which Mr.. Ilalsey gives the accepted
meanings are Wyoming, Broad Plains,
and Wyalusing, Home OF the Old
| Warrior.
Many of these names have peculiar
aptness. The same quality was often
shown by the Indians in the names
they gave to each other. Red Jacket
the famous orator of the Seneca nation,
had name the translation of which
is the Keeper Awake. Another accom-
1 plished lroquois orator fond OF agri-
culture Ia half breed, however,, was
called the Corn Planter. For tina woia
Manhattan, two meanings have been
given. One is simply an Island, bus
the other has greater interest Piace

Can Produce This Result.
The possibility of generating cleo
tricity directly from coal has, occupied
the attention Of many of the great in
yentors Of the world, including Mr..
Edieon, but up to tho present time
little or no progress has been made,
says the Saturday Evening Post. We
are still depending. upon the boiler,
steam engine and dynamo for nearly
all our electrical current, except in
those favored places where nature pro-
vides water-power, as, for example, at
Niagara and In Switzerland But most
parts OF the civilized world do not
possess sufficient water power for their
need. This is particularly true in
England, where the water-power is
very insignificant. But even with
water power the advantage is not great,
aH 1T costa nearly as much to deliver a
current in Buffalo from Niagara as it
does to produce it on the spot with a
steam engine. M
What the whole electrical world is
looking for is some direct process or
apparatus in which coal may be in
troduced and from which the electrical
current will be generated directly. In
other words, something liks an eleotri
cal battery in which coal is used in the
place of zinc. The person who solves
this problem on commercial basis will
win greater fame than any inventor has
ever known, and his reward in dollars
should make him Croesus IL he has
business talent.
At the present time, with the steam
engine and boiler, the best results dc
not give more than about Is per cent Of
the energy contained in the coal and
ordinary plants operate at an efficiency
of 10 per cent or less.
