VICTORIA FALLS
Called "thc Most beautiful Gem of
the i.urth's Scenery"


The Zambozi river. carrying a huge
volume of water two miles in width as
it reaches tie western borders of Rho
desii prccipitates itself into n cavern
Gus gorge AMI thus traverses the north
ern plains OF the country.
This great drop in the river has pro
duccd the most beautiful gem Of the
earth's scenery" the Victoria falls. AL
most twice as broad as Niagara and
two and a half times as high, an i'm
mense mass Of water rolls over its edge
to prccipitdtc itself in magnificent
splcudor 400 sheer feet into the narrow
canyon below.
UnIetcrre,!. the Rhodcsiau engineers,
without detracting from the natural
beauty of the surroundings, threw
across the canyon splendid 600 foot
cantalever bridge and thus opened the
way to TangaLyika, to Uganda, to
Cairo.
This briGgc. the greatest railway en-
ginccring triumph of Africa, deserves
more than passing notice. 1t consists
of Il central span weighing approx
mately 1000 tons. 800 feet in length
and 80 feet wide The steel work is of
rolled steel weighing 400 pounds to the
cubic foot The end posts of the bridge
are over 100 feet long. The pull on the
anchorage apparatus i about 400 tons.
The contract for the cor ''ructi1n was
obtained by an Eng.,.. i.2 of bridge
builders the contra,; tn" t!ItE-hNe
weeks. The work of grr, tn vas car
ried on from both b@akS. the L.1tcrial
being taken acros the river by means
of an aerial electric railway. The clcc-
rrical conveyor of this - bic way was
capable of dealing with Il ten ton load
at lifting speed of twenty feet per
minute and a traversins speed of 300
feet Il minute.
IN initial difficulty in the construc-
tion of the bridge was the securing
of Il firm foundation. and owing to the
crumblng nature of the bank much
greater quantity of concrete was neces-
sary than estimated.
The construction was happily unat-
tended Ly accidents of Il serious nature
though few slight accidents TO body
work ami the replacing from England
of one piece of steel work We're record
ed. In spite of these delays the bridge
was linked up at Il. m. on April l,
1903. or exactly forty-eight hours ear
Iier than had been estimated a year be

There was "A large attendance. 1t
was a most enjoyable occasion and the
inspiring interest manifested was due
to the fact that new cave was install
led and fully demonstrated during the
session which adds beauty and perfec-
tion to the newly equipped parapher-

WHERE MOSQUITOES BREED.

Mosquitoes are breeding by the mil
lion in the old canal and in a very
short time the town no doubt will be
infested as badly as last summer, when
mosquitoes proved a greater pest than
for many years past. This is only an
other way in which the abandoned
canal proves a nuisance to Danville.
Some of the Pennsylvania towns that
have stagnant water nearby i'll order
to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes
employ petroleum, which is poured
upon the surface of the water. This of
course would prove perfectly feasible
in the canal, if any one could be found
willing to foot the bill.
The mosquitoes bite is bad enough,
but the insecs is to be dreaded in 9TH
er ways. 1t is now pretty well establ-
ished that the mosquito is responsible
for the spread Of malaria as well rs
yellow fever. Perhaps the board of
health viii take the matter up with
the borough council and recommend
the use of petroleum in the old canal
also that council will see its way clear
to adopt the recommendation of the
board of health and do what it can to
eliminate the mosquito nuisance.

Wire THIEF'S
BAD FALL

Wire thieves have made their ap-
pearance in this vicinity. The Dan
Vile and Sunbury trolley line was the
first attacked The thief, however,
failed to get any wire, but instead
came very near being caught by fall
ing into his own trap.
The affair took place a couple days
ago and although instantly discovered
by the company nothing was said
about the matter. The time was i'm
proved by quietly working along sew
eral lines in the hope Of finding the
guilty party, who according to indica-
tions was novice, unaccustomed to
cutting trolley wire.
The morning following the visit Of
the thieves the copper wire, about
three-cighths Of an inch thick, was
found cut in two at point about mid
way between town and the hospital
for the insane. 1t was plain that the
thief had climbed the pole and obliv-
ious of what might occur when the
tightly drawn copper wire was severed
had crawlcd out along the iron arm
that carries the wire and with a stout
nippers or other tool began work A
glance sutliced to show what had oc-
cured
When the wire snapped in two each
portion relieved of the strain, under
its weight, flew backward with terrific
force The arm to which the man was
clinging was given a sudden jerk and
carried around by one section of the
wire. Naturally he lost his hold and
was precipitated to the roadway, and
there in the mud was the imprint of
his body where he fell. The height of
the fall was quite sufficient to cause
injury and that the man was more or
less disabled would be inferred from
the fact that no further attempt was
made to secure the wire.
An examination of the wire showed
the nature of the instrument used in
cutting it, Had none of the plans fail
ed the thief would have secured n
couple of thousand feet of good copper
wire

CUBAN GIANTS |
DANVILLE A. A. 0

The fans who remained away from
DeWitt's park Friday afternoon
missed "A battle royal between the Dan
Vile a. \. and their worthy oppOn-
ents the Cuban Giants. Hummer and
McCloud were i'll the points for the
locals and the balance of the team
worked behind McCloud with the reg
ularity of grandfather clock, pulling
down the high ones and scooping up
the low ones i'll way that made the
spectators sorry they had not paid fifty
cents instead of twenty-five to witness
so fine an exhibition.
Up to the ninth inning Hertz was
the only one man to reach the third
corner and the hits up to this point
were so few that it took a magnifying
glass to locate them on the score sheet.
Bradley and Abbott did the trick for
the Giants and did it to perfection.
The locals had only one strike out
MHllc hCClOuNl NlllHCl SlA VI lllC NlS-
itors. The final score was / to in
favor of the Giants, the winning run
being made in the ninth inning. The
six last games played with the Cubans
the total number of runs made by the
two teams was only IS. 1t is to be re-
gretted that the attendance was so
small.
1t is most lamentable that the at
tendance at Fridays game was not
larger The small number of persons
present, the base ball management
states, is due to the fact that the grand
stand, which was blown over in re-
cent storm has not been replaced and
a great many of the fans being averse
to standing in the sun, were absent
from the game.
For this reason the base ball man
agement has cancelled all home games
and also declined an offer made Fri
day to book the Cuban Giants for
July 18th. The score:

Death Rate is Very Low.

The morbidity statistics for June in
dicate for this district a very sound
condition as to the public health.
There were four cases of typhoid few
er, with one resultant death, reported.
There were two cases of pneumonia,
but not n single case of contagious
disease was reported.
Only fifteen deaths occurred III the
district last month. OF this number
six deaths occurred at the hospital for
the insane and one at the convent, leav
ing only eight as belonging to the dis
trict proper. The death rate was low
er than at any time since the law re-
lating to vital statistics has been in
effect.
The deaths are always very prompt
ly reported to the local registrar; in
the matter of births there is always
delay incidental to naming the child,
etc, so that it is not until some time
during the month succeeding that the
full number of births to offset the
deaths becomes known. In May there
We're thirty -One births rs against seven
teen deaths. In the period covered by
the new law, between January |, 1906,
and May Both, following, there were
1l9 births as against l0l deaths for the
same period.
