PHOTOGRAPHlNG ITSELF.
a Curious Property OF Wood, Especial
iY That Which is Pine Bearinu,

~ curious property OF wood, wnCre-
by it Is able to photograph itself in
the dark, is described by William j.
Russell In a paper recently read be-
foto tho London Royal Society SAYS
lions Herald. This property has
been shown by experiments to belong
probably to all woods, some woous,
however, being much more active than
others. To obtain a picture the wood
must be in contact with or at little
distance above the Photographic
plate, and must remain there for times
varying from half an hour to eigh-
teen hours, and be at temperature
not higher than 13l degrees Fahren.
hcit.
The wood of the conifers Is very
active and gives pictures which are
very definite. If the action exerted
on the plate be owing to the presence
OF hydrogen peroxid, as has been sug.
gested, 1t must be produced by the
resinous bodies present in the wood; /;
but IT Is remarkable that there Is no
action from the dark autumn wood.
Resin exists in the dark rings, but
apparently under such conditions that
1t cannot escape. With the spruces
the action on the plate is not so def
mite. With regard to woods other
than conifers, oak and beech are both
active and give very good pictures, as
do also acacia (Robina,) Spanish
chestnut and sycamore. On the other
hand ash plm hOrSa chestnut and
plane are. in comparison, but slightly
active. Knots in wood generally,
but not always, give a good picture.

papers OF the state are printing the
act of the legislature at its late ses-
sion prohibiting the throwing of
any kind Of refuse upon the streets
Of any city, borough or township.
1t is good law, but, like many
other good laws, very little atten-
ton has been paid to it. People do
not care about a law that is not en-
forced. The newspapers will make
this act familiar in most places, but
if the authorities do not act it will
have small effect. Any town whose
officials show purpose to execute
it will be kept clean without much
cost; others cannot expect to be.

The Bennett Estate.
May be the Basis for Some Very Interest.
ing Litigation,

1t is stated that relatives Of the
late John r. Bennett, of Danville
will contest the will of the dead
lawyer. The present Mrs. Bennett
was the divorced wife of Nichol,
the big New York tailor. She
secured her divorce in Dakota. and
Dakota divorces are not recognized
in the state Of New York. In an
affidavit made by Mr.. Bennett a
short time before he died, he stated
that he was resident Of the city
and state of New York. Bennett S
estate is estimated at over a half a
million dollars. His first wife was
a Miss Grove, a member of the we'll
known Grove family of Danville.
She outlived most Of her family and
Inherited the greater part of their
wealth, including the Grove man
sion. She died several years ago
and Bennett married Mrs. Nichol,
to whom he left his entire estate,
ignoring entirely his own and his
first wife's relatives. Just what
part the unrecognized divorce of
the widow will play in the contest
remains to be seen.

Big Damage Suit

A damage suit for 500, ooo
against the l.. V. R. r. for causing
the death of M. H. Dale, of Scran-
ton, was commenced in the Lacka-
wanna county court last week. Mr..
Dale died in hospital in Buffalo
on Nov. 22 last, from injuries re-
ceived while alighting from one of
the detendent company's trains two
days before. In company with
Victor Koch, cf Scranton, Mr.. Dale
was enroute to Mt. Clemons, Mich.
They went as far as Buffalo over
the Lackawanna railroad, where
they were to change to the Lehigh
Valley. BY mistake. they boarded
the wrong train, and, in getting off,
Mr.. Dale slipped and fell under the
wheels. One of his legs was crushed
so severely that amputation was
necessary. He died from shock.
1t is alleged that the company was
negligent in that the train was not
stopped i'll order that the deceased
might alight.

Iron and steel Need Rest.

Although the iron and steel industry
is one of the mightiest of the world,
and offers such rewards that some of
the greatest chemists and other sci.
entists study nothing else, there are
lots of apparently simple puzzles
about it that no one has been able to
solve yet. The man who discovers
the right answer to one or more of
them may make million dollars out
of it.
Every one who handles steel knows
that it gets tired" at times. After
a piece of steel has been subjected
to a severe strain for a certain period,
IT, may suddenly snow a decided weak
ness. Then the experts say it is
tired; and so it is, for if it is allowed
to rest awhile, it regains its old
strength.
Recently it has been found that a
steel beam can be made stronger ny
increasing the load on it gradually
in other words, by exercising it just
as a man exercises his muscles when
he wishes to make them stronger
Very often new steel will not pass
tests that it should pass. but after a
few weeks it is found that it has
grown better and passes the tests
beautifully. Then, again, steel that
was perfect when it was tested often
gets sick" 1t cracks or becomes
brittle. although other steel made at
the same time in the same way re-
why these things happen; but lots of
people are trying TO find out.-New

OF 60 degrees seems warmer and more
comfortable than room of 72 de-
grees Of heat and humidity of 80 de-
grees. DR., Henry NJ. Smith says that
ii a room at GS degrees is not warm
enough for any healthy person 1t Is
because the humidity is too low. and
water should be evaporated to bring
the moisture up to the right degree.
In other words, water instead of coal
should be used to make rooms COM

PAYMENT OF SCHOOL TAXES.

The recent decision by Judge
Mayer, of Lock Haven, in Cameron
county, regarding the exoneration
Of school taxes has caused consider
able discussion among the interior
newspapers of the State. In effect
this decision by Judge Mayer is
that school boards have 10 authori-
~ to grant generations from the
payment of taxes, except in the
case of indgents or to correct errors.
1t is a question OF real importance
all over the State outside Of the
larger cities. The Philadelphia
Press in an editorial comments as
follows OH the question
=" Many school districts every
year lose large amounts of money
that are needed for the support of
the school because people who are
we'll able to pay their taxes are
either negligent or dodge payment.
All these taxes are in the first place
charged to the tax collector, and
when he fails to get them from the
individual he gees to TIE school
board and gets an exoneration in
that case. The readiness with which
this could be accomplished in most
districts has made the collectors in.
different and easy On people, the
most of whom are we'll able to pay
the comparatively small amount of
tax imposed OH .hem for school
purposes.
The exoneration of any but in
digents is an injustice to those who
promptly and regularly pay. 1t is
discrimination in favor OF those who
have no public spirit who are in
different as to the character of the
schools, and who shirk their obliga-
tions as citizens. The exoneration
OF any who can pay and won't
naturally encourages others TO
dodge and refuse to pay. When a
man sees his neighbor-who may
be better off-escape from his tax
he is not to be seriously blamed if
he seeks the same favor. 1t is a
widespread evil which has cost
some school districts large amounts
OF money every year to the disad-
vantage of the schools.
Judge Mayer covers the ground
pretty thoroughly. He indicates
quite clearly that he does not be.
lieve the legislature has authority
to delegate municipal bodies the
power to grant generations he
points out that there is no act of
the legislature authorizing the
council of borough to grant ex-
onerations, and the school law only
allows exonerations to be made by
the board of school directors for
mistakes, INDECENT persons or un-
seated lands, as to them shall az
pear just and reasonable. This is
the law, and the declaration of it
by Judge Mayer is timely and
wholesome. 1t will do much to
compel the tax collectors to perform
their whole duty.
The effect will be far-reaching.
With this light on the law there
should be citizens in every district
to see to it that the school boards
assume no authority which the law
does not give them. 1t ought to
prove OF great advantage to the
schools in nearly all parts of the
State"
