TUESDAY, JANUARY %, 1907

ALREADY Burlington county members
OF the Legislature are being heard from.
senator Robbins has introduced several
bills, one of which will be hailed with
great satisfaction by the people of this
section for it aims at the limitation of
franchises and will hasten the connecting
OF Mount Holly, Smithville. Pemberton
and other nearby towns by trolley. 1t is
hoped that Senator Robbins will keep his
bill moving and soon secure its passage.
Assemblyman Lewis scored a point by
his very gentlemanly action with reference
to place on committee 1t was dis.
covered that the Speaker had made a
biunder by appointing three Republicans
and two Democrats on the committee on
Game and Fish. By order of naming Mr..
Lewis was chairman of the committee,
but he relieved the situation by gracefully
resigning and allowing the Democratic
Speaker to give his party majority OF
the committee-an act that the Speaker
greatly appreciated.

OCEAN COUNTY has funny proposition.
The reappointment of Theodore ]. r,
Brown to be Prosecutor of the Pleas is
being opposed and advocated for the same
reason-he has done his duty. One of
his recent acts was to close gambling dens
at Lakewood and to bring the proprietors
to justice The offenders, consequently,
are after Theodore's scalp and intend to
have him displaced If possible. On the
other hand the good people of the county
want Mr.. Brown retained because he did
such good work in closing the places re-
ferred to. The latter class go step
farther and suggest that the Prosecutor
be advanced to the position of Judge
about to be vacated by the expiration of
the term of Judge Martin. The desires
of the gambling fraternity will not be
likely to have much weight in an attempt
to displace Mr.. Brown, who has made q
fearless and able official. 1t would be
very gratifying to his many friends to
hear of his appointment as Judge. While
Burlington county possibly has no say in
this matter, yet Prosecutor Brown has
many warm friends in this county who
believe that he has been and is still des-
tined to be of great service to the law
abiding citizens of Ocean county.

Its Expansion and Contraction and
Its Solvent Powers.
Water contracts as 1t falls from the
normal boiling point, 212 degrees, un-
til 1t reaches 80 degrees. Below that
degree it expands, and at 80 degrees,
the freezing point. 1t will expand
enough to burst pipes and vessels hold
ing It,
When the pressure of the air is be-
low normal, water boils at lower tenn
perature than 212 degrees. This is no
ticed before rain, when the barometer
shows by falling mercury a decreas-
ed air pressure. This also explains
why water boils away more rapidly.
quickly or at lower temperature In
the mountains, where the pressure of
the air Is less than on the seacoast or
IN the valleys. If sugar or salt is add
ed TO water the temperature of the
boiling point Is raised few degrees.
As rule. as water is heated it will
hold greater amount of substance
In solution. A familiar exception Is
the fact that Ice water will dissolve
twice as much lime as boiling water.
At the other extreme boiling water
Will dissolve seventeen times as much
saltpeter as will cold water. But wa
ter varies In its solvent powers regard
less of heat One pound Of water will
hold two pounds Of sugar in solution,
but only two ounces Of common salt.

greatly appreciat

open SUNDAYS" are occupying atten
ton now, especially in the upper part Of
the state where the beer drinkers do moi
feel at all pleased with the law which
makes 1t impossible for them to get theil
favorite beverage openly on the first day
of the week. The proposition that will
possibly be presented will be a bill te
allow the sale of liquor on Sunday between
the hours of one and five O'Clock in the
afternoon. This is simply ridiculous and
one wonders that it should be given 8
serious thought. There is no reason what
ever for making Sunday any more open
than it is at the present time. Nor is there
any reason why place licensed to sell
liquor should be given more privileges
than other establishments If it is to be
an open Sunday" let it be so in all re-
spects and let all places of business be
wide open. But we do not believe that
the people of New Jersey are willing to dc
away with the sacredness of the first day
of the week.

Frankincense is the purest of all in
cense. 1t is gum resin from an Ara
bian terebinth. To obtain this a deep
incision Is made in the trunk and be-
low 1t a narrow strip of bark peeled
on. When the emulation has harden
ed, the lncision is deepened In about
three months the resin has acquired a
sufficient degree of consistency. 1t is
gathered In large quantities and pack
ed In goatskins. 1t was formerly be-
lieyed that the trees which yielded
frankincense were infested by winged
serpents, and the only way to be rid
of them and to get at the treasure was
by burning gum styrax, an odorifer-
Gus balsam Of aromatic smell. Frank
incense was forbidden to be used for
embalming, as it was sacred to sacri-
fetal purposes. The Israelites were
strictly prohibited from compounding
It. Now it is used largely in Roman
Catholic and high church ceremonies.

Parafin wax models of all proposed
British battleships are used by the
admiralty for tests before the keels OF
the ships are laid down, the NINA
lures being tested in great tank. The
models are from twelve to twenty four
feet long, the tank being 400 feet long
and twenty feet wide. The models are
made of wax because it liz a material
which does not absorb water or change
its weight, so that alterations can be
easily made, and the material can be
melted up and used again. The Amer
lean naval authorities also have mod
els of all their hulls constructed, but
these are much more elaborate than
the British, being formed Of white pine
and fitted with rudders, false keels
propeller shafts and all ct ceteras.

OF the professions and trades repre-

days no class OF men gave greater
