Picturesque eeoraetown.

Milford is a pretty. pustling South
ern town. but Georgetown is a poem of
old-world association and charm. No
doubt she was named. when King
Georges soldiers marched, and rode
and drove along the old road or high
way.
AS the hack which conveyed us from
the station TO the hotel. approached
the central square. with its tall, newly
leaved trees. one OF Delawares gov
ernor's pointed out to us. the old
fashioned. broad windowed court house
where Justice and law are dispensed
to the people of Sussex county.
Then. as we drove on. we discerned
the wide. low building in which is
situate the Farmers Bank; and the
structure appeared to US to be as stable
and substantial as the institution itself.
Someone spoke Of the future improve
ments to this beautiful. old house. and
/ thought that If I could cast the de-
Gliding vote. such vandalism would
never be perpetrated while one Of its
old nails held.
The hotel itself. proved to be another
ancient structure, with its high mantles
masonary For two hours I sat alone
in the front room. and gazed out into
the square. and simply reveled in the
quaint and picturesque beauty of the
old houses. that for long years have
surrounded the square. and have
smiled down on the tender green Of the
spring grass. and have been shaded by
the tall and stately trees. Certainly
Georgetown appeals to ones aethetic
sense. and fulhlls ones conception of
the fitness Of things.
Several houses were shingled like our
own quaint. honey, little cottages at

Milford Chronicle.
In our travels over Kent county the
prosperity of that grand fruit and
grain growing district has impressed
us with the feeling that this season will
be one Of conspicuous plenty. The
fruit trees without exception give
promise Of full and bounteous crops,
while the wheat fields indicate that
these crops will be far beyond the aver
age. Never in forty years have we
seen that prosperous section known as

Advanced Arithmetic.

Kenneth is the name Of a good ma
tured Washington lad who is as stu
diOus as any of his companions, but he
Is young yet and has not advanced
very far in the grades of the public
schools. The other evening he was Wis
iting boy friend who has laid his
plans for serving In Uncle Sans army
In the future and contemplates gradu-
ating from West Point some day. The
two were talking about mathematics
when young lady sought to test Ken
neth's knowledge of 'rlthmetic.
''If lemons are % cents Dozen" she
asked him, chow much are cast iron
lamp posts apiece?"
With perfectly serious expression
on his face Kenneth replied:

In size and brightness under constant
conditions but is increased by such a
gas as fire damp and reduced by car
boni0 acid, The lamp has a pro-
tective casing of wire-gauze provided
with external cooling ribs. 1t Is sur
mounted by a refractory chimney,
through the opposite sides of which
pass the elements of a thermopile,
and any variation of current is shown
by a galvanometer in connection with
these elements. If the flame is made
larger and hotter by the presence of
fire damp, the thermo elements are
tensity being indicated by the gal
vanometer needle. Carbonic acid
gas, reducing the flame, is similarly
signaled by reduction on the gal
vanometer scale and recording
apparatus connected with the gal
vauometer may be made to keep a
record OF the varying conditions in
different parts of the mines work
ings.
The electric arc from the incande-
scence of carbon electrodes converts
into light only about one per cent of
the energy, and the so-called fam
ing arc" is an attempt to gain etfici-
ency by adding to the carbon sub
stances that3 produce luminous
flame. Reporting the latest results,
Prof. A. Blondel, the French cleo
trIcian, states that salts of the calcium
group have proven suitable materials.
The pure chemicals may be used tor
electrodes or employed in homo
geneous mixture with carbon, but
electrodes of carbon with a core of
the chemicals have advantages. a
lamp with such electrodes, giving a
powerful light, has much greater
efficiency than any other. The quail
ity of the light may be varied, but
the elements of the calcium group
are best to use, as they not only give
out red and yellow rays but are freer
from ultra violet radiations than the
iron or titanium arcs.
Gas poisoning from gas engines has
become so common that German
authorities urge that cylinders of
oxygen be kept near, and that engl-
neers be taught to apply Limitations
to resuscitate victims.

GOVERNMENT ANIMALS.
Branding Them Is Provided For by

Branding Them Is Provided For by
Army Regulations.
Whenever you see the letters "U.
S." branded on the left fore shoulder
Of an animal, make up your mind at
once that that beast is or was at one
time the property of our rich old I'm
Gle Sam.
Then again if you knew the key to
the system of branding utilized by the
quartermaster's department, United
States army, you would in a moment
be able to tell the organization of the
army to which that animal was as
signed Immediately after purchase by
the government.
Branding public animals is not
matter Of choice, but is provided for
by the army regulations, which direct
that
'Publlc animals shall upon the day
received be branded with the letters
u. S. on the left fore shoulder
Horses assigned to organizations will
fore foot one and one-half inches below
the coronet with the designation Of the
company Branding irons of uniform
size and design will be supplied by

letters and numbers of hoof brands
on the same line to be three-fourths Of
an inch high, the letter to precede the
number and blocked so as to pene-
trate the hoof One-sixteenth of an inch.
For example, the hoof brands on
horses assigned to band, Ninth cavalry,
would be CB9; to Troop A, Fifth cav

A sort of opium is obtained from the

something very learned and profound,

differences between the opium of the

but for all practical purposes the one
is identical with the other. Many a
