An American Tropical Laboratory.
One Of the characteristics of mod
ern scientific progress is the estab-
lishment of laboratories and observa-
tories of various kinds at points
where phenomena of great interest
can best be studied, although such
points may be remote from centera
of human population and from ordi-
nary lines of travel. just now an ef-
fort is making to establish scien-
tific station at the Tortugus Islands
near the coast of Florida. A consid-
erable number of naturalists have
expressed interest in the scheme.
Some think it would be an excellent
point from which to observe the mi
grafton of birds; others that bio
logical laboratory established there
would give rich results. It is pointed
out that we now know more of the
life of the Red sea than we do of that
of the Caribbean sea and the gulf of
Mexico, lying almost at our doors.

A NORWEGIAN VILLAGE.
The Houses Are All Built of Wood ana
Furnish Food for
Fires.

A Norwegian village bears a strlk-
ing resemblance to a New England
one, especially as it is usually com
manded by white church with a
pointed steeple. The houses are all
wooden, even in the cities, and on TINS
account fire is a Norwegian's great
est dread, for again and again whole
towns have been nearly swept away.
There are knotted ropes at every
bedroom window, and warnings in
four languages are posted in all hotel
corridors, says London paper.
The very poor live in log huts. The
roof is made of strips of birch bark
held down with sort of clay. Moss
collects, and the winds drop seeds
upon it, so that, after one season, it
is covered with thick growth of soft
grass, mingled with wild ladies de-
light, and often a small tree grows
up straight from the green leaves.
Inside is usually but one room,
though occasionally there are two. A
large table with wooden benches
serves for dining, and the beds are
built into recesses in the wall as if
they were cupboards, and have doors
which conceal them in the daytime.
Where there are many children, the
beds are in double tier.
Houses of the better sort are
rooted with slate and built upon the
straight lines common to New Eng
land. Only hotels rise above two
stories in height. The windows swing
outward The, thresholds are raised
above the floor as an aid in keeping
out the winter cold. The room walls
are painted, and if done in the old
Norwegian style, the colors are very
bright. blue predominating and pro-
verbs and wise saws are blazoned in
graceful scrolls above the doors and
fireplaces. The furniture is brightly
colored, also, and clothing is kept in
large wooden chests. painted with a
background of red or white and
adorned with brilliant flowers.
The dragons head is carved every
where-on the gables the furniture,
the vegetables dishes, the portals of
the churches. 1t is believed to repre-
sent a demon-spirit, who yet will de-
fend the house against other spirits
"more wicked than himself"
A looking glass is great point of
pride, and landlord will exhibit his
mirrors as a proof of the excellence
of his hotel

taxpayers attack the freeholders be-
cause they lack pride. The gentleman
is probably half right. The people
certainly have no pride in their free

the proposition, probably is that the

be in the county treasury except for
certain road contracts. -Jamesburg

coal Supply IS AMPLE.
Tho Anthracite Newly Discovered
VIII Warm the World for
Years to Come.


Eight veins of anthracite coal werl
located in the upper district in a su
burb of Wilkesbarre last week and L
veins now worked in that district
lying below the new veins, wer'
found to be rich and apparently very
productive. 1t is estimated that thu
tract of 1000 acres which include!
the deposits contains 300, 100000 tons
of coal and that it would require
5000 men to work 200 years, 250 days
in the year, to bring the vast deposit
to the surface. Allowing rluch fol
the exaggeration which usually char
acterizes the first reports of discoV
cries of this nature, ssays the Phila
delphia Ledger, the new veins vii
probably add greatly to the anthra
cite coal supply. The estimates OF
the duration of this supply must be
revised if the new fields are as eX'
tensive and productive as the early
/ predictions indicate. One of the dis
patches announcing the find says
that it is estimated that the deposits
will furnish anthracite to the world
for 20 years.
In Roberts Anthracite Coal In
dustTy," valuable and informing
work, published in 1901, several es'
Inmates of the probable continuance
of the anthracite coal fields of Penn
sylvania are presented, as computed
by mining engineers. According to
the forecasts of these authorities the
supply will last from so to 100 years
if the annual production be 6O,OOO,ooo
tons. The total number of tons
mined from 1929 to 1900 inclusive was
1897, ,7O6,1S1 tons. 1t is estimated that
four times as much is still in the
beds.
The author notes that all the ter
ritory embracing the anthracite coal
fields was purchased by the govern
ment from the Indians. In 1749 Sec
ton 1875 miles long and 30 miles wide,
comprising all of Dauphin and
Schuylkill counties and parts OF
Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne,
Northampton, Monroe and Pike
counties, was bought from the In
dians for the paltry sum of $4,000.
Mr.. Roberts continues:
To-day an acre of coal land con-
tanning three feet of workable coal
will command from $500 to 5000,
while building lot in the city OF
Wilkesbarre on one of it's busy thor
oughfares will command more than
$40, 900. In 1858 similar purchase OF
the Wyoming valley was effected and
the price paid the Indians was about
the same. DR.. Throop says in his
Fifty Years in Scranton that In 1774
land was sold in the neighborhood OF
Scranton for four cents an acre; in
1884 the same land could not be
bought for SO, 600 an acre.

A local physician has asked the
Evening News TO call attention to the
use of the powerful headlights on the
trolley cars at night, with the idea OF
pointing out to the traction company
the discomfort these lights cause to
those who have to drive horses after
dark. We have put the doctors re-
marks in the form of a communica-
tion which is published in anoJher
column.
The new headlights on trolley cars
are almost as powerful as a search
hight on a vessel and doubtless are
very useful in showing the motorman
that he has a clear track before him.
There is great room for doubt, how
ever, as to the usefulness of these
powerful lenses In passing through
the city. The streets on which the
trolley tracks are laid, are well light
ed and the route is plainly visible for
the motorman. It has been noticed
that these powerful lenses are easily
adjusted. In changing from one end
of the car to the other they are appar-
f2ly simply hooked on over the
ordinary headlight. This being SO,
why would it not be possible for the
motorman to lift off the powerful
lense upon entering the city and re-
place it the moment he leaves the
city. This could be done with very
little loss of time and it would be a
great relief to large number of citi-
zens.

ODD GROUND FOR LAWSUIT.
Krishman Had n Case which He
COuIdn't Get a Lawyer to
Take Into Court.

Samuel Davis, court stenographer of
the Second circuit, relates the Kansas
City Journal, says that an Irishman
who several years ago tried to en-
rage the legal services of his father
had the oldest ground for lawsuit
be has ever heard of. The Irishman
wanted to sue his lsRdlady for SIS.
He explained that he made contract
10 pay her three dollars a week for
bOgrd but she was to deduct 25 cents
for every meal he missed. Having got
the contract duly signed, Pat began to
board elsewhere and charged the lady
with whom he had contracted 25 cents
for every meal he missed. He figured
Dut that by managing this way he
missed 1925 worth of meals each week,
for which his contract required him
20 pay only three dollars, so that by
staying away he made $2.25 clear The
.adlady refused to pay him his 'prof-
lts," and he wanted Mr.. Davis to bring
auit against her for him. Father
laughed at him bit" Mr.. Davis says,
"and he got indignant. "A contract is
, conthract,' said Pat, 'and she ought
TO be made to live up to her'n just as
well as nae to mine There were sew
eral other lawyers in town, and some
Of them we're pretty hard up for cases,

1t is very probable that a petition
will be presented to the Board OF
Aldermen tonight requesting that the
work of improving Sheridan street be
started. The aldermen state that they
are ready to proceed at once. The
Evening News has been urging that
some action be taken for some time,
and, in an effort to learn why the
aldermen apparently ignored the
matter, News reporter was told that
the aldermen had it under considera-
tion, but thought the property owners
should first present petition request
ing that the work be done. The News
lost no time in communicating this
fact to the public with the result that
a member of the Chamber of Com
merce, admitting that his action was
based on what he saw In the News,
called the attention of that body to
the matter with the desired result. 1t
was mere matter of serving the
public, but shows that the News is
the medium through which things are
brought to pass all for the advance
ment of Perth Amboy.
