LEHIGH UNIVERSITY MAN IN.
VENTS HARMLESS AND EF-
FECTlvE TOY CANNON.
Emits Blaze Of Fire That Does Not
Scorch Tissue Paper, Sends Out
Report That Cracks Ears and

borhood is Wild.

W~ilkesbarre, Pa, April 25.-Profes-
sor William Suddards Franklin, head
of the department in physics at Lehigh
university, has invented a harmless toy
cannon designed to take the place Of
the deadly iron affair filled with gun
powder and which reaps a rich harvest
Of victims every Fourth of July.
By applying a %well-known principle
of chemistry he has produced a cannon
which makes a report but cannot eX-
plode; hurls missiles which can do no
harm and is a flash of fire which does
not scorch tissue paper.
The explosion is caused by an cleo
trio spark igniting a combination of
air and gas somewhat on the principle
of a gas engine. This discharges a
cork-no other missile will do--and
produces a flame Of so low a tempera-
ture that it does not burn. Further.
more it is said, 5000 shots can be fired
for a nickel.

full Affair Well Arranged and Well
Carried Out.

The ladies guild Of the Episcopal
church gave their post-Lenten fair and
dance at Maennerchor hall last night,
preceded by a musical program and a
lively farce, the cast of characters en-
bracing Mr.. A. G. Jones, MI. Charles
Dekay, Miss Leslie Swigart, Miss Al
lie Marsh and Miss Margaret Knopf.
There was a good attendance Of
friends of the guild and the dancing
was well enjoyed. A booth for the sale
of fancy articles, presided over by Mrs.
Stickney and Mrs. Kidd, furnished
some lively selling and a snug sum to
the credit of the guilds treasury.
The musical program included a So
10 by Miss Jean Goodale, a solo by
Miss Allie Marsh and a duet by Miss
Goodale and Mr.. Jacob May. Each was
well received by the audience.
The farce, Poor Mr.. %Pillicoddy,"
was performed by the following cast of
characters:
Mr.. Pillicoddy. Charles DeKay
Captain O'Scuttle. .......A. C. Jones
Mrs. Pillicoddy. Miss Allie Marsh
Mrs. O'Scuttle. ... Miss Leslie Swigart
Sarah Blount. Miss Margaret Knopf
The story of Mr.. Pillicoddy is one
of shipwrecks at sea and broken
hearts, intrigue and mistakes, love and
reconciliation, and there al warmth
enough to show that the hearts of the
players themselves were not cold as
marble.
Following the play the Don was
cleared of chairs and dancing formed
a very welcome diversion for the re-
mainder of the evening. The ladies
of the guild deserve credit for the en-
tertainment and have added a consid-
cradle sum to their treasury by their
efforts to amuse and entertain the
young people. Excellent music vas fur
nished for the dancing. Dean Bode
was the pianist during the musical pro-
gram.
