Old Document Tells
Early hallway History

In overhauling the contents of an old
stone vault in its Newark station OFF,
Gals of the Lackawanna Railroad have
come across a set of interesting docu-
ments relating to the early history Of
the road. Among them Is one which
ago on the 10Th of November that the
Morris and Essex Railroad afterwards
absorbed by the Lackawanna) was for
mally opened for traffic. At that time
there were only seventy miles of rail-
road In the United States. Cars were
operated between Newark and Orange
and were pulled by horses. The COM
muters Of those days were obliged to
change at Newark to the cars of the
New Jersey Railroad and Transporta-
ton Company NOW a part of the Penn
sylvanla system) in order to reach New
York. The rails consisted Of fiat bar
Of iron IN inches wide by V Of an inch
thick, and were laid on timbers running
lengthwise. There are people living In
the Oranges who still remember the
iron sheathing placed over the floor Of
the cars to prevent loosened rails from
breaking through the car floors and In
juring passengers Horse cars contin-
ued to run until 1851, though among
the papers are several petitions pro-
testing against this method of locomO-
ton. Steam cars were introduced IN
1887, and the first locomotive, the
Orange, made its trial trip from New
ark to Madison on Sept. 10 of that year.
The Orange was woodworking en-
CINE Of the most primitive type, requir-
ing wood-passer on the tender (usu-
ally a young fellow who aspired to be-
come engineer) to stack 'em up for
the fireman. The first passenger trip
between Newark and Madison was
made on Sept % and the road was ex-
tended to Dover on Aug. l, 1S49, and
to Hackettstown in January, 1854. 9th
er papers found in the same vault in
clude number of petitions presented
In 1S4S by the early residents of the
Oranges asking directors of the road
to stop the cars at Whisky lane, now
Grove street, East Orange. The petit
tions have been framed and will be
hung In the new East Orange station.
Perhaps the most interesting Is one
from the women of Orange dated
March 25, 1913, complaining Of the in
convenience suffered by them and their
children in not being able to board the
cars at Whisky lane. Several others
from the male residents Of the town
contain the names of those whose de-
scendants are among the most promi-
nent people in the Oranges.

Disinfection.-The sense in which
this term Is popularity used Is often all
wrong, or, perhaps one ought to say,
only partly right. When people say
they will "disinfect" something, they
generally mean that they will use some
chemical to destroy a bad smell, or
mask 1t by another bad smell. The odor
in itself lie all the while quite harmless,
although disagreeable, and even II 1t
were a terrible menace, the drowning
Of 1t in another bad smell would not
lessen the danger. As matter Of fact,
many Of the worst products Of decom-
position are odorless. When people use
the word, therefore, in this sense, they
should say "deodorize," which is what
they mean.
A distnfectant means, in the correct
use of the term as defined by the Amer
lean Public Health Association, IAN
agent capable Of destroying the infec-
tive power Of infectious material" 1t
is plain from this definition that there
can thus be no "disinfection" In the
absence Of infectious material, and,
further, that there Is no such thing as
partial disinfection;" either the infect
ing power Is destroyed or it is not.
Simply to arrest putrefactive deccm-
position Is properly called ''antisepsis,"
and it has been proved that many
things useful as deodorizers (smell-de-
stroyers) and as antiseptics (decompo-
Sition-arresters) are utterly useless for
the destruction Of disease germs. 1t
will be seen from this what danger may
arise in such diseases as smallpox, ty-
phoid fever and cholera from misun-
Outstanding of these words.
There are many ways Of disinfecting,
and much interesting research Is going
on In this direction all the time. Heat is
oAe Of the most eficacious disinfecting
agents we have, and for clothing there
Is nothing better than boiling for half
an hour. Clothes that this would injure
can be subjected to dry heat or to sui
phur fumigation. Chloride of lime,
formaldehyde, carbolic acid are also
powerful disinfectants. and so also is
burning sulphur, which destroys not
only the germs Of disease, but also the
insects which frequently harbor those
germs.
Disinfectants are sometimes used in
sick-rooms, but they cannot take the
place Of cleanliness and free ventila
ton. Infectious material lodges in dust
on lodges and in corners, and, there
fore, sick room should be so appoint
ed as to make 1t possible to keep it
clean from day by day. Nearly all mod
ern hospitals are built not only with
interior walls which can be washed
easily, but with curves in place Of
angles or sharp corners in the rooms,
SO that there shall be no lodging places
for dust.-Youth's Companion.

Geese are scavengers, like sheep.
They will thrive in summer on any
rough pasturage accessible to water.
A bog meadow covered with wild
grass just suits them. They will foul
more food than they will eat, if allow
ed to roam with stock In clean mead
Ows. They should not be permitted
to have the freedom of the farm, if
kept In any considerable numbers. We
do not think large flock requires spe-
cial facilities, while small flock can
be trusted to take care of themselves
for nine months in the year. Geese
are as much grazing animals as horses
or cattle. In summer they need very
little grain If they have grass or vege-
tables. In winter they will enjoy life
better and make better breeders in
the spring IL their diet is composed
principally Of cut hay, corn-stalks, and
vegetables. For shelter a rough shed
with d good roof Is all they require.
A Toulouse gander and Embden geese
make a good market combination

Harrow for Vineyards and Orchards
To the constant working of the soil,
the pulverizing of clods and removal
OF the weeds Is due in large measure
the productiveness Of the best orch
ards and vineyards. and If this work
be done with an ordinary cultivator 1t
mot infrequently happens that the ma
chine comes In contact with the trees
or vines, injuring the bark and endan-
gering the life Of the trees. It is the
idea of the inventor In introducing
the cultivator here illustrated to pro-
vide machine especially for this
class Of work, which will enable the
driver to run in close proximity to the
trees or vines, and even come in con-
tact with them, without injury to the
bark. In manufacturing this machine
circular frame Of channel iron Is
used as a mounting for the teeth, with
spokes leading to a central hub, the
latter being connected directly to the
beam of the cultivator. The outer
edge Of the circular frame is grooved
to receive cushion, which is made by
winding soft rope, felt or rubber into

Ancient Pens

The earliest references to pens are
probably those in the Bible, and are
to be found in Judges s: IA; l. Kings
q: 3; JOB IL: "a and Isaiah 81. But
these chiefly refer to the iron stvIus
which cut out the characters in tbe
tables of limestone or soapstone. There
Is reference to pen and ink in the
third Epistle Of John 10: 5, which was
written about A. D. IS, and as pens
made In brass and silver were used in
the Greek and Roman empires at that
tlme 1t Is probable that a metallic pen
or reed was alluded to.

Wide Urea ard Gooa Ro.a..


One Of the greatest aids to better
roads Is the use of wider tires on the
wagons. No matter what kind of ma
terial is used for the construction Of
the road, the width Of the tire Is Of
vital Importance. It is also vastly to
the interest of almost every farmer
from an economic standpoint to have
at least a or 4-inch tire in place OF
the old-fashioned narrow tire. The
loads will draw more easily about his
fields and on almost all kinds Of roads.
The wide tired wheels are much
stronger and more lasting and present
much less trouble in the shape of loose
tires. In many sections their economic
advantages are being recognized and
they are rapidly replacing the narrow
tire. This transition should be hasten
ed as rapidly as possible. All new pur-
chases should be of the wide sort. So
thoroughly has the relation of wide
tires to good roads been recognized
abroad that laws have been passed
regulating the width of tires. In Ger
many 4-lnch tires are required. In
France traffic tires must be from 3 to
10 inches wide, according to the
weight Of the load, and the front axle
must be shorter than the rear axle, to
prevent tracking" In Austria wag-
ons carrying more than two and a
quarter tons are required to have tires
at least 4 1-3 inches wide and every
load over four and a half tons must
be carried on tires Of 81 inches in
width.-Prairie Farmer.

press that water out with as light
working as possible.
