And some are all laughin' and smilin',

No matter what may be his line,

A "bonus" Of bubbling sunshine.

Nor copyin' wisdom from books:

OF filing your heart with sunshine.

Large masses of amber have recently
been discovered in c-etaceous strata
on Staten Island, now the borough of

An Italian scientist has invented
novel substitute for irrigation. He
uses the fruit Of the Barbary nopal, a
fig tree which bears figs that are ex-
cellent reservoirs of moisture. In the
spring the scientist digs ditch about
the foot of the tree he desires to pro-
tect from the coming drought and this
ditch is filed with figs cut into thick
pieces. A dense layer is made and
beaten down. The mucilag4nous pulp,
covered with earth, stores up much
moisture. which it gives off gradually.
In drowning accidents where expert
swimmers suddenly lose all control of
their powers, the usual explanation or

as insufficient. 1t has been noticed
that persons having disease Of the mid
die ear, who have already shown
symptoms of vertigo, are especially
liable to such accidents, and as the
semi-circular canals are the organs OF
direction, it is suggested that even a
slight hemorrhage in this delicate
structure from a blow by the waves
would result in utter helplesSness.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
gentleman.

Newark Advertiser:
Commissioner Phillips, of the
Board of Works, who, with Engl-
neer Sherrerd, has made a thorough
investigation of the practicability of
establishing a municipal electric
lighting plant, is singularly compe-
tent for such a task, being an ex-
pert in machinery. The conclusions
of the commissioner and engineer
embodied in a report to the board
are unqualifedly in favor of a nun
icipal plant and present the best of
reasons for establishing one. 1t is
enough to know that the city can. by
utilizing the machinery in the city's
pumping station at B~elleville, furn-
ish 500 arc lights, at a cost of $63.02
per lamp, a saving of 1872 per year
on each light on the basis OF present
contract prices.
A plant for 500 lights would. how
ever, provide only for n section of
Newark. 1T would seem to be prac-
ticable to utilize the city's water
power in the Pequannock to supply
500 additional lights, which would
be enough added to the 500 lamps
supplied from Belleville to light the
entire city. The cost of transmits
sion should not be prohibitive. Sim
iliar electric lighting plants are in
successful operation In other cities
and towns.
Trenton True American:
Atlantic City furnishes a very
fresh illustration of the manner in
which the republican machines
friend, the Asphalt Trust, operates.
Specifications We're recently prepared
by council for the paving of Atlantic
avenue. and it is announced that
they name the source from which
the asphalt must be secured. a trust
source, and the vessel by which as
phalt must be brought TO this coun-
try, Upon these specifications there
can be but one bidder-the Asphalt
Trust-and the republican machine
in Atlantic City will do all in it's
power to force the people to pay
whatever price the trust may see fit
to exact. 1t is not creditable to At
lantic City that under these circum-
stances there is no democratic mum
icipal ticket this fall. Public senti-
ment seems to be absent. or of a
very poor variety.

WONDERS OF THE WIRELESS.

The wonders of the wireless teleg-
raphy is being realized by the gen
eral public more than ever before,
since President Roosevelt started
north on board the cruiser West Vir-
ginia. The efforts of the vessels
captain to keep in touch with the
land all the time has proven exceed
ingly interesting. He has not
only succeeded, but he has come
pretty near keeping in touch with the
whole country.
1t sounds wonderful when we read
a long message, sent from on board
the vessel, many miles at sea, to the
Cape Hatteras station, describing
the conditions on board and then to
learn that this message was, at the
same time, picked up at the navy
yard station at Washington. the home
city of the president. But the limit
seems to have been reached when a
dispatch comes from Kansas that a
wireless Geographic kite apparatus,
flying a half mile high, also caught
the message from the cruiser, out on
the Atlantic 1000 miles away so that
the people out on the prairie were
also in touch with the president.
Marconi now tells us that any YES
sci equipped with his long distance
transmitter can keep in communica-
ton with land all the time on the
voyage across the Atlantic. When
it is remembered how many vessels
have left port with loved ones on
board and have never been heard of
nor seen since, some idea of the val
ue of this latest invention can be
formed. Truly, this world is coming
to be a very small spot after all.

The great masses of New York
voters are the laboring men, who
have been watching the Belmonts,
the Ryans and the great life insur-
ance companies growing richer day
by day, while they continue to strug-
gle at practically the same wages
and the cost of living going higher.
1t is no wonder these men rally
around the Hearst banner. He is a
man who appeals to them as a friend.
We do not encourage ~arraying
class against class, but we do not be-
lieve that fear of doing so should
cause the under dog to stand about
with his hands in his pockets while
the other fellow has his hands in the
public treasury. A protest is always
hushed up with the cry of arousing
class hatred while public robbery and
graft has been going on unchecked.
We believe Mr.. Hearst to be sin
cere in his desire to help those peo-
pie of New York who really need the
help. He is possessed of great
wealth and has honor and social po-
He has nothing to gain by
being mayor of the greater city. His
through his newspapers to get
better wages for city employees and
ing man has been urged on by a
sense of justice. We do not believe
New York will collapse into social
ism and lawlessness if Mr.. Hearst is
elected. Having no personal greed
for contracts and public graft, and
no boss behind who wants it,
Mr.. Hearst will give New York a
honest and upright administra-
ton than Tammany Hall has done.
The people are with him and the
democrats have difficulty preventing
their own mass meetings being STAN
peded for him. He has an excellent
chance of being elected and New
Workers will not go far amiss if they
do it.
