Want River Improvement.

The Dover, DEL, Board of Trade
has passed resolution favoring
the bonding of the town to the sum
of $4,000 to be used for the pur.
pose of improving Dover River,
called st. Jones River, the matter
to be submitted to the citizens by
popular vote.
1t is proposed to have a bill pre-
sented to the coming legislature
amending the town charter so that
the loan can be secured for the
purpose desired. 1t was shown
that in very short time the town
could save enough in the purchase
of coal and other articles to pay
thousand dollars a year on the
loan, if secured.
1t is also expected to get an ap
preparation from the state and
federal government to make st.
Jones River navigable from Leb-
anon to Dover, thus having a
direct course from Philadelphia to
Dover.

Farmers Institutes.

The program for the Farmers
Institute work in Maryland this
year, arranged by Mr.. William T..
Amoss, the director, includes the
regular visits TO the counties by a
corps of workers and trips on the
car recently fitted out for work
along the railroads of the State
The season will open December %
in Cumberland and the car will be
put in service about February 1.
The opening of the Institutes in
Allegany county will be followed
by work on the Eastern Shore and
in Southern Maryland.
The dates arranged for Institutes
in Cecil county are: Elkton, Jan.
%; Calvert, Jan %.
We are informed that Rising
Sun,-where the attendance at the
meetings has always been large and
much interest manifested, has been
dropped from the list because of
the refusal of the patrons to defray
theexpense of hall rent. This is
certainly placing the Institute at
a high CD estimate of value, when
the rental of a meeting place would
be mere pittance even if divided
among as few as dozen men. But
the truth of the matter is that the
local manager has, 10 several in
stances, been compelled to pay the
hall rent out of his own pocket, for
the very good reason that our citi-
zens and farmers would not con
tribute even this small amount.

HUDsoN's LANDING.
The Place at LeWes Where He
First Set Foot In America to
Be Marked.

Residents of Lewes, and in fact
those throughout that section, are
very much interested just at present
in y proposed celebration in honor
of the first landing of Hendricls
Hudson on American soil, and they
are endeavoring to interest the
government and state to aid in OBJ
serving this event.
The Lewes residents want Con-
gress to pass bill providing for
the erection of a monument to mark
the landing place of the DeVries
Expedition, and they also want a
celebration.
On August %, 1909, Hendrick
Hudson in the Half Moon, sailed
up the Delaware and landed at
Lewes. Later in September his
ship entered the Hudson river.
For that reason, Lewes folk be-
lieve that they should be recog.
nized in the celebration that will
be held in New York next year.
AS the battleships that are to
participate at New York will have
to pass Lewes, citizens will ask the
government that they stop at Lewes
and open the celebration there.
According to the program planned
by Lewes folk, the model of the
Half Moon should be escorted there
from Philadelphia by the naval
squadron, assembling at the Break
water, when the Half Moon could
be welcomed, the monument to
DeVries, the first man to land
there, unveiled with proper cere
monies, and then the naval pro.
cession with the Half Moon pro
ceed to New York along the New
jersey coast in time for the cele
bration there on September a.

with tinkling bells, as well as a
small army of shovelers. A few
roads are reported drifted to some
extent, but for the most part they

A Singular Calculation.

It would require, according to the
calculations Of a scientist, the power
of a 10000 horsepower engine about
7OOOO,OO0,O0O years to lift the earth
a foot in height, and to do this work,
allowing thirteen pounds Of water per
horsepower per hour, would require
some 1oOOO.0OO,0 OO,O00,00OOOO gallons
Of water, or more than would be dis
charged at the mouth Of the MISSISSIPPI
pi in 5000 years. This would be
enough, the writer estimates, to cover
the entire surface of the earth to a
depth of not less than 300 feet, to
convert which into steam, using good
boilers, would require some 100000
OO0,OOO,0OO tons of coal. If the latter
quantity Of the mineral was loaded on
cars of twenty tons each it would de-
mand .2O0,O00,000,O 100000 such cars.
If the latter were thirty feet long and
all coupled together in one train it
would reach around the earth 45,OO0,-
600 times and, if running twenty-five
miles per hour, would consume 25,O00,-
900 years in running the length of it.

"Crocodile Tears"

The phrase crocodile tears" owes
its origin to the imagination Of some
Of the old travellers, who invented the
fable that the crocodile weeps over it's
prey. One of the earliest English globe
trotters to mention this fiction was Sir
John Vaudeville, who in his Travels"
1499, speaking Of "Ethiop," "Ynde"
and an lyle clept Silla," says:
'"That Lond is full of Serpents and
Of Cokadrilles. These Cokadrilles ben

Humorous Chinese Graft.

4 a certain Chinese taotal (magistrate,
having told his men to have two ingotst
of gold sent to his treasury for pur,
chase, the shopmen brought them in
and in answer to the query of the tao.
tai told him that the price was so much
in taels, but added, This is the or
binary price, but for your honor we
will knock off one-half Of the. price,
Then the taotai said to his underlings:
Seeing that they are to sell to me at
only one-haif price, just give them
back one ingot Of gold and put the
other in my treasury, and thus their
account is settled. Goodby." SO the
underlings of the yamen did so, but
still the shopmen hung around wait
Ing, The taotai asked them why they
were waiting when their account had
been already settled. Said the shop
men, "When did your honor pay your
humble servants? p Then the magis-
trate answered with a very fierce air:
''Taio nu ts-ai' Gmpertinent slayes),
"did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your ac-
count without the least injustice ac

you taste of the scourge" -Harper's
