BOYS DYNAMITE scHooL4ousE,
Wanted Another Month Of Vacation
But Didn't Get II.

Trenton, n Vacation has not
been long enough for the boys of the
prospect Hill school. two miles from
Newton, Pa, so they blew up the
schoolhouse with dynamite. The
building Tas badly damaged. but tenn
porary quarters we're obtained and the
school was opened despite the crime.
The boys had asked the school board
for longer vacation. This request.
of course, was refused. Then they de-
cided to burn the schoolhouse. Later
they conceived the idea Of blowing it
up, as they did. on the night before
the opening Of the school term. They
got dynamite in a quarry close by and
waited until there was no one about
to explode 1t.
The explosion shook the little set
tlement of Prospect Hill. Volunteer
firemen formed a bucket brigade to
extinguish the flames which followed
the explosion.
The boys make no denial OF their
guilt. They say that If the month OF
September had been added to their
vacation they would have been salts
fed.
The board OF education is in a guam
Diary as to what to do with the youths.
All Of them are attending school in the
temporary quarters, much to their
chagrin.

Bees Hold Up Railway Station.

London.-A large parcel dropped on
the platform of Burgess Hill station,
Sussex, burst open, and out buzzed a
swarm of bees. The parcel contained
a hive. In spite Of the stationmaster's
order to pack the bees up again none
of the staff would approach. At
length forlorn hope, consisting of an

The bees held the platform till the
evening. when they returned to the
hive. Then the parcel was closed and
sent on to its destination.
