Horses LOOki

The l5ree1t&s
nory rosy.xf4fS Gazette makes a
- .ss<sTicture for horse dealers
and Siaims rapidly advancing prices
for the next three or four years.
Ohio farmers are buying one

more than the shipper will pay but
the shipper will have to come to it.
The Marcus DAILY sale of horses,
in New York. less than $50 in
Der, brought the handsome ag-
grcgate of $4C4,'i50.
One firm in New York, since
Novr. 1900 has sold 1900 horses,
good and bad, young and old and
the average price for this large
number of all kinds is $3.50.
The Gazette says surely the horse
and especially the good one is
coming into his own. One buyer
has tried over the Pacific Coast and
the Middle West to fill an order for
a large number to the British Gov
eminent. but so far has failed. Ev-
cry auction is thronged with eager
buyers; and all this activity the
Gazette takes to mean high values
for horses of all classes for the
years 1902, 1903 and perhaps 1904.

James Stillman did a bigger soak

But there are good people even
in Wall Street. One firms actions
reminded us of the actions Of a few
good Highland people, in the re-
rent hay panic. They said to their
neighbors with starving bruits,
hconle and get hay at the old price,
as long as it lasts" This firm
with the hope of easing the situa-
ton, loaned large sums of money
at the old rate of 6 per cent. Can

tors OF the car, setting them in motion,
and then through the wheels into the
rails, by which the current returns TO
the power house. Thus the trolley
wire, the car and the rails form a com
plete circuit When a car is at a stand
still the connection between the trolley
and the motor is cut OFF, breaking the
circuit. However. turning on the lights
has the same effect as putting the car
in motion. that is. it completes the cir
cult That is the exact reason why the
lights are on during a thunderstorm.
Should lightning strike a trolley wire
the flood of current would be carried
with a rush TO the nearest car. If this
car should be in motion or the lights
be turned on so that the circuit with
the rails is complete, there would be a
chance that the extra current Of the
lightning's stroke would pass down the
trolley pole and through the car into
the rails without doing any harln
The principle is the same as that of
lightning rod which carries the cleo
tricity of bolt of lightning into the
ground. But when there is no connec-
ton the current of a bolt of lightning
would burn cut the motors of the car
and if strong enough would shatter the
car and iniure the people who might be,

Eagles Mere. situated in Sullivan

ally beautiful Summer resort within
easy reach OF Philadelphia.
A few years ago, Lewis's Lake, as
It was then called. was comparatively
unknown, except to a few adventurous
gunners, lumbermen, etc, but since,
the construction of the railroad from
.SOnestown has made a most abnor.
mally rapid increase in popularity.
AS a rule the visitors one year are
anxious to return the following sea-

The increase of travel this summer
has been so heavy that Thursday last
a special train Of seven cars, five OF
