A Play In Esperanto.

Esperantists are in high glee. After a severe struggle against public senti- ment these advocates of a universal language have scored a higher mark of success than was ever gained by any previous school of pan-lingualism, says the Washington Star. One of the fore most Anglo-American theatrical mana gers has announced his intention to present in Berlin next August a per formance of one of his latest successes in Esperanto. The translation is now being made. and the leading perform CTS are in training to acquire the yo- cabulary and accent Esperantists. who are numerous in Berlin, are highly elated over the proclamation, which they regard as marking the turning point in the tide.

REAL FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
Fresh Air, So Says Mrs. Hensiey, Who Keeps Young by Outdoor Sleep.

Mrs. Almon Hensiey of New Ro- chelle, formerly president of the New York City Mothers club and a mem- Der of many other women's organiza- tions in, New York city, believes that in sleeping out of doors the year round she has discovered the fountain of youth. She is busy literary worker. author of several volumes of prose and verse and admits being forty years of age. - -.. -..
 "I don't think look it, though" she adds, '.and when I get to he sixty don't expect to look day older than now. The trouble with most of us Is we don't breathe half enough sor health. The finest air is wasted on individuals who don't know how to use it.
 Mrs. Hensley for the last year and a half has slept on the veranda of her home in Hlllerest avenue. which is on the outskirts of New Rochelle and looks ont upon grove of pines.
 Two sides of the veranda are inclos- cd by sliding glass doors, to be drawn in case of show. sleet or rain. Other wise Mrs. Hensley's bed, swinging hammock. is exposed to the clements. For the necessary warmth she uses two German feather beds, one as mattress and the other as a coverlet. Besides this. couple of down com fortables and an army blanket are used. to be laid aside in case the weather is mild
 Although came from a family who individually weigh great deal. I nev- CT let my weight get above 145 pounds" Mrs. Hensley says. ''and any woman by following my directions can reduce her weight from fifteen to twen- ty pounds in six weeks. Moderation in eating Is of course essential. and ex- ercise is valuable. but the deep breath ing and out Of door sleeping are the two most important factors"

FISH IN YOUR CAKE OF ICE.
Curious New Kind of Natural Cold
 Storage In Minneapolis.


 Storage In Minneapolis.
 Next summer the people of Minneap- oils will be able to go to their refriger- ators, get live fish and cook him while he wiggles.
 This desirable condition of affairs has come about by the finding of a pond near the river in which the ice is full of the finest kind of edible fish. The pond was formed by the overflow of the Missouri river last spring. and when the water receded a small sand bar kept thousands of fish imprisoned says the Minneapolis Tribune. The silt of the river has settled to the bottom of the pond and purified the water as a filter would do, so the Ice is the finest in the world and is solid and clear as crystal to the bottom.
 The discovery of this fish ice was made by Minneapolis icemen when put ting up their summer supply. Some of the fish were broken out of the ice and after they had been in the sun few moments began to wiggle and when placed in water swan around as though they had never been frozen.
 This phenomenon suggested an idea to the icemen, and they already have several hundred tons of fish ice stored in their houses and will sell 1t the com ing summer at an advance over the price of ordinary ice because of the food supplies 1t carries.
 The fish thus captured vary in size from six inches to two feet and include buffalo. catfish. bullheads. carp. suck CTS and other varieties indigenous to the river. There are thousands of them. and nearly every cake of ice has several fish in it.
 The find has been q boon to the poorer classes of Minneapolis. as many of them have laid in all the Ice they can stow away, and others have cut out the fish and are selling them about town. Cakes of the ice with the in- closed fish are displayed in the market windows and attract a great deal os attention.

nTunt care whether received 1t or not for 1 am willing to give my serv- ices along these lines to the govern ment.
 My first flights were made in the years 1893 and 1894 at Layergne, suburb of Chicago on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad. My flights then and all have made sub sequently have been to test my models and for the purpose of experimenta- tion. The longest flight made then was about POO yards and the greatest height about thirty feet from the ground. never attempted to soar higher, for I have had an idea that if I should fall it would damp my ardor. But never have had an accident.
 T have continued my experiments with various models, many of which still have in more or less com, etc shape, in various towns in Illin> s, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio. Th> last flight made in one of my machines took place near Shelbyville, Ind. three years ago. My assistant manned the car, and several short flights of 200 yards and less were negotiated with success with and against the wind and across it.
 Now, although many people who have not studied the matter may scoff. I venture to predict that within five years there will be constructed aero plane ships to carry crews of twenty to thirty men, having engines of from 600 to 1000 horsepower and capable of a flight of 2,000 miles at clip.
 1.-The ship which I am building ac- cording to the specifications furnished the government will stay in the air one hour, will make it's ascents and de- scents without danger and will carry two men. My experiments have prov ed to me that the planes above and below must be perfectly fiat, and there will be no curves or concavity in them During the hour that it remains in the air my ship will maintain its equilib- rum, be under perfect control and move in all directions. as required by the specifications provided by the sig nal corps The weight of the genera tor will be 400 pounds, and it will be craft of 100 horsepower.
 "As compared with the aeroplanes of the near future the craft so far made are as dugouts to the modern ocean liner. l have the greatest re- spect and consideration for all the eff forts that have been made by NJ.

BLAST FOR RICH WEDDINGS.
Respect Due the Church Lacking, Says
 Pittshure Pastor.

Ministers in Pittsburg have started a crusade against fashionable church weddings. Leading the revolt is the Rev Dr. ]. IT. McIlvaine, pastor of Calvary Episcopal church. who in 1902 married Alice Thaw to the Earl Of Yarmouth. He delivered sermon re- gently that has stirred every minis terial association 10 action.
 He said weddings of the day in Pitts burg were arranged and carried out by the florists. the same as funerals are handled by the undertAkers.
 ''The sacred respect due the church is not present at these weddings" said the minister. and the clergyman comes to be a mere nothing necessary. of course. but sandwiched in in any old place The siOuest music is played. often that from operas. as the bridal party marches up the aisle.

PLEA TO SAVE REDWooDs.
Young caIifornians Want National
 Park to Preserve Giant Trees.

Park to Preserve Giant Trees.
 One of the most unusual petitions ever sent to Uncle Sam Is one which has been received at Washington by the forest service from nearly 1,400 Cali fornia school children, who ask for the establishment of a redwood na- tional park. This petition, which is from the children of the schools of Flu reka, Humboldt county, Cal, is unlike any other which has ever been sent to a government department to ask for the preservation of forests, says q forest service bulletin. In the petition the children say:
 we, the children of Eureka schools, have been studying about our red wood forests, and, along with the rest of the people of our country, we feel that representative groves of these trees should be preserved for ourselves and coming generations of children, and we respectfully petition the Unit ed States government to take some ac ton toward establishing national for est of redwoods."
 Government foresters who are ac- quainted with this section of Califor- mia say that the children give good req sons for the establishment of the na- tional park. It has been only few years since the redwood trees stood thick on the land around tfe larger towns of Humboldt county, but now all the readily accessible timber has been removed, and the people see the time when the redwood groves will have disappeared.
 There is little if any redwood left suitable for a national park that has not fallen into private hands, The &C., quisition of any such areas, therefore, would have to be brought about through private donation. If 1t is found necessary to purchase the land for the park, congressional action will De required.
 The children do not specify any par ticular grove of trees which they should like created national park. It will therefore be necessary for the people of Humboldt county to locate a suita- ble grove of redwood to be made a national park, make arrangements for the purchase of the tract and then re- quest congress to take up the matter. The forest service will be able to do nothing more than to supply all pos sible information and assistance. The chief inspector at San Francisco will be requested to look into the matter ard assist those interested in the movement in every way.

THE TOKYO FAIR.
Big Exhibition to Show the Progress
 of Japan.

of Japan.
 The grand exhibition of Japan will be opened at Tokyo on the 1st of April, 1912, and will be closed on the 31st of October of that year.
 All foreign governments and peoples are invited to participate. For the in- stallment of foreign exhibits belonging to the five departments of education, science, machinery, electricity and manufactures space will be provided in the exhibition buildings erected by the administrative office of the exhibi- tion. For exhibits other than those above designated any nation may erect a separate building at its own ex- pense. No charge will be made for space allotted for such building. If they so desire, any foreign nation may exhibit articles belonging to the five departments named in it's own build ing.
 All exhibits, building materials, dec orations,, etc, will be admitted free of duty if not used for commercial pur- poses. Special arrangements as to duty will be made on articles for sale at bazaars or for amusements in the exhibition. Special protection by law will be afforded to all inventions, de- signs, models of utility and trademarks of foreign exhibits.
 The exhibition grounds will cover a total area of from PIP to 290 acres. For this 124 acres of the Aoyama pa rade ground will be used, 132 acres of Yoyogi imperial land and the remain der from Kitamachi Aoyama. A road about 4S0 feet in width will be built connecting the Aoyama parade ground and the imperial property.
 The exhibition Is to be held not for the purpose of commemorating any historical event, but to show to the world the development and progress of Japan. The government has planned to spend S5,O00,000 from the national treasury, and it is expected that the various provinces and municipalities will appropriate $5,000,00 more to the exhibition. The city of Tokyo will con- tribute $2,500.000 as its share.

came not only the greatest of modern
republics, but, perhaps, the greatest of
all peoples under this form of govern
ment. We protested at Mexico, at the
institution of slavery, at the Spaniards
From all of those protests there came
out harmonious series of results which
only cemented us as nation and made
America greater and greater. Ours
have been a people of protest since the
pioneers drove out the Indians. The
Monroe Doctrine was pronunciamento
of protest the most powerful in the his
tory of nations. President Cleveland's
Venezuelan blast was a protest that was
heard around the world, the echoes of
which have gone resounding down the
corridors of time as the most potent of
modern times. The right of protest is
mans heritage of liberty, and properly
directed is the one redeeming feature of
righteous government.

Our Controlling Desires.

If the youth of to-day or of any age
could understand the growth and devel-
opment of human character, it is posi-
BILE that the standards of mankind might
be raised Tendencies in early life could
be checked with proper care. Whatever
inc1inations we have toward what is not
right could be curbed with a little rea-
son. A valuable contribution on this
point comes from James Allen:
"You will realize the Vision (not the
idle wish) of your heart, be it base or
beautiful, or mixture of both, for you
will always gravitate toward that which
you, secretly, must love. Into your
hands will be placed the exact results of
your own thoughts; you will receive
that which you earn; no more, no less.
Whatever your present environment may
be, you will fall, remain or rise with
your thoughts, your Vision, your Ideal.
You will become as small as your con-
trolling desire, as great as your domi-
nant aspiration"
No more important lesson was ever
contained than in these words. They
prove that every man is the architect of

The Borough Movement.


The borough movement continues to
interest Palisade. AS everybody knows.
Palisade is split in the middle by the
North Jersey trolley, which is the divid-
ing line between the boroughs of Pail
sades Park and Fort Lee Palisade
wants to be all in one borough, or in
borough of its own, an independent Dor
ough being thought by many to be the
most desirable But the game of politics
enters largely into the matter, and the
county Senator, Mr.. Wakelee, has sew
eral things to consider before giving his
sanction to any movement that would be
a benefit to Palisade; and especially SO
when an injury is liable to come to some
other borough Palisade, in round fig
ures represents all told at present valua-
tons, the rise of 100000 as taxable
property. Naturally, no borough wants
to give up such nice morsel; there
fore, when Fort Lee petitions the Legis-
lature to set aside about all and little
more of the developed portion of Pali-
SADIE, it is recognized as an adroit move
to not only save its own hide, but to
make the fur fly from Palisades Park.
Fort Lee fully appreciates and values
Palisade No doubt of that Time was

couldn't get anything of account. and
had to get down on Our knees for the
few crumbs that fell our way Now
however, the scene shifts, and they are
catering more sensib1y to our demands
This community has asked little, expects
little, but we should at least be given
some consideration when we want COM
mon decent treatment on things we
really should have Mayor Abbott APP
pears to be master of the situation, and
recently has shown that he means to
keep his word made during his cam
paign.
The Palisades Park side of town does
not appear to be getting much attention
from the borough, and what makes it all
the worse, the borough does not seem
to care. 1t would be a pretty kettle of
fish if the tables were turned at Tren-
ton and Fort Lee walked away with the
plum. Whatever interests Palisades
Park has in Palisade must be deep
seated. None of the evidences that she
cares for Us at all are apparent by her
contributions to our welfare. The con,
