POULTRY FAIL TO PRODUCE
ALARM AMONG OWNERS OF HENS IN
WESTERN PART OF STATE.

IivonIa n Y Nov % CSpeciaD-This village
after having partially recovered from the excite
ment and i'll effects of the coal strike is now con-
fronted with another unpleasant dilemma which
is causing considerable discomfort and complaint
among the inhabitants Of the town. The trouble
has been caused by an egg famine For two weeks
now not an egg has been ottainable in any OF the
village stores and the few that have been laid now
and then by the hens owned by private individuals
are kept for family use and do not get into the
market The prices before the famine set in scared
skyward until they became almost prohibitive, as
much as - cents having offered. ii Is said for
one dozen Grated eggs of last seasons vintage by
one of the wealthest men in the village. He Is a
confirmed dyspeptic and has been on an egg and
milk diet for nearly year.
No reason seems 10 be found for this surprising
shortage It came in less than a week, and the
dealers utterly unable TO cope with the situa-
whom they have been depending for fresh sup
plies. The farmers are unable to explain the Pie
nomenon, either although some OF them fear that
some kind of epidemic, either mental or phys
ical has afflicted the hens. One prominent poultry
keeper said
If I do say it that shouldn't there wasn't another
poultry yard in this section Of the county that had
a better record than mine. Some days my wife
would gather many as six dozen eggs, all fresh
lad Part Of hese we Kept f0T our o% use 9e
told she hadn't found egg. and this same
ago and since then we haven't had egg. The
same thing is true with my neighbors. John Milet.
he honestly believes that the hens have gone
strike for he has noticed his gathering around in
sFter WHEN fhev come and SacSle deafeningv al
egg was chased and pecked at by all the others
He says the women folks have been feeding the
hens all right. and don't understand wha. they
have in the grievance line. OF course his talk is
take much stock in it, but when one gets on ia
miiiar terms with hens he has higher idea Of
Just a mere superficial acquaintance

WATER FROM LAKE ONTARIO
TO BE USED FOR VILLAGES IN THE
ROCHESTER REGION

Rochester Nov. - (SpeciaD-Lake Ontario is ex-
pected 10 become a reservoir for the scores Of
little villages that lie along its shores from the
mouth Of the Genesee River westward toward the

by the Drexel- Morgan Company. Of Philadelphia
Is being organized TO pump filter and distribute
the lake water at the rate Of eight million gallons
a DAY 70 consumers throughout the district named
and running far south at least as Rochester
It is said that the York Central Railroad and
the Rochester Gas and Electric Company are also
interested in the scheme.
Rochester now gets her drinking water from
Hemlock Lake which for purity and heathfulness
has few equals in the world. This supply how
ever is limited 10 the people Of Rochester and the
entire plant is owned and operated by the city
This new company intends to erect a pumping
station on Rigney's Bluff a mile west Of Char
lotte village, and make IT distributing centre for
practically all Of the northern lake shore strip Of
Western New-York. At present Charlotte is SUD-
piled with water from Lake Ontario by a smaller
pumping station whose capacity is only three hun
oIed thousand gallons a day. The company pro-
poses TO purchase this plant and transfer it 10 the
ritory described have been approached by the pro-
motors and offered water for consumers at rates

HIS EXPERIENCE OF ORIENTAL TRIBUTE
THE REV. MR. GRANT USES INCIDENT TO SHOW
BRIBERY Is RAMPANT THE WORLD OVER

THE REV Mr.. GRANT USES INCIDENT TO SHOW
BRIBERY Is RAMPANT THE WORLD OVER
The Rev. Percy Stckney Grant. OF the Church 81
the Ascension. preached on Bribery last night.
He referred TO the recent 81. Louis cases and said
It only the earliest phase Of what New-York
passed through twenty thirty years ago: that
the rascaIity would become subtler and the pecu-
lation concealed. but said II could be
stopped.
The thing operated also in business and
young man frequently found that he could receive
money II he would lend his influence good name
act in a certain way, and many seemed to ex-
pect something beyond their salaries.
He told OF guide that had asked permission Of
Bishop Potter and himself he absent while he
bought an embroidered cap for his little SON What
he did was make a tour Of certain shops I'm
which the Bishop and the Rev Mr Grant had
made some purchases and collect commissions on
those purchases.
We smile, and charge up such things to foreign
ways or a heather religion he said but whom
shall we charge II up TO that young men In bust
ness in NewYork are not content with the salaries
they get and will take commissions and gifts In A
business way from anybody? The chief interest is
ones own pocket, and what wonder that defalca-
ton embezzement and thlevery take place?'
He also spoke Of the servants in hotels and
restaurants that expected tips and Judged and
served the patrons according to the tips they got
1T is all simply bribery, he said and a part OF
the maelstrom of money getting and spending. And
II Is more. You say II is due to tyranny and pow
erty in the East Then s II due TO freedom and
riches here? Is 1t not in fact, due 10 character?

ANTHRACITE HISTORY.
COAL THAT THE PUBLIC AT FIRST REFUSED
TO USE.
From The Toronto Mail and Empire

Anthracite coal, which all anxious TO
get Just now, less than century ago. when
the first efforts made to market il, denounced
a fraud. The people of those days declared It
OF the eighteenth century, in 1871, the Lehgh Coal
Company tried in vain to sell in Philadelphia the
fuel which had been found on its property in
Carbon County Several attempts made o
burn anthracite but for long time the results
uniformly unsatisfactory. Finally, in 1915, the
secret was accidentally discovered. Tests had been
made in rolling mill at Schuylkill After repeat
ed attempts TO make It burn by means of frequent
~ rakng the fire, the Workmen gave up the expert
ment in disgust filled the furnace with the worth
hours afterWard they were amazed to find a
fire with a terrific heat. and thenceforward the
problem of burning anthracite solved
But the people were slow to believe that II was
possible 10 get heat by burning the black stones
As late 1893 one Charles Miner as follows:
While push forward our labors the mine
hauling coal. building aFks etc. had the greater
difficulty to overcome OF inducing the public
was needed We published handbills in English
and German, stating the mode OF burning the coal
either in CRATES, smiths fires or in stoves Numer-
Gus certificates were obtained and printed from
the anthracite. Mr. Cist formed a model OF a coal
stove and got number cast Together we went to
the several houses in the city and prevailed the
masters to allow us to klndle fires of anthracite in
attended at blacksmiths' shops and persuaded some
to alter the too-iron, that they might burn the
Lehgh COAL and we sometimes Obliged to
bride the journeymen TO try the experiment fairly
sort of fuel so different from what they
customed to-
But these methods were slow to overcome
popular prejudice. 1t was only when through
lecturers began to use anthracite that the fuel
round its way into favor.
