DOGS TO BE SCHOOLS GUARDS.
Perth Amboy Will Use Great Danes to
Stop Petty Thievery.

Great Dane dogs are to be used as
night janitors in the eight schoolhouses
in Perth Amboy, N j.. to protect the
school property against thieves. When
the thieves first began their operations
1t was suggested that eight men be
employed as night. janitors. The pay
Of such men would be $50 per month
each, or an additional expense of $3.50
month. Such an amount would be
more than the value Of the things the
thieves would steal, and the board of
education decided the fund at its dis
posal would not stand the additional
expense.
Finally Magnus G. Larsen cama to.
the rescue with the suggestion, that tho
city purchase eight Great Danes and
turn themzloose in the schools at night.
"A night janitor's salary will be net
less than $50 a month"; Larsen sains
I'VE can feed and keep a. dog for from

know all about these dogs. They do
not maui or injure intruderss danger
ously. They merely hold them at bay
until policemen or others arrive to arr
rest them. Most of the thieves who
have been breaking into our schools
are boys about 12 years old. When
they learn that Great Dane dogs are
inside ready to tackle them this petty
thievery will cease"
Because in one case the thieves ac-
cidentalfy set fire to the schoolhouse
and caused damages aggregaung thou-

decided tok accept the suggestion Of
Larsen. As quickly as the dogs can be
obtained they will be made night

NOTED SCIENTIST DEAD.
Dr.. Martin H. Boye Passes Away at
Bethlehem, Pa, at Age of 81.

Bethlehem, Pa, March 8.-Dr. Mar
tin H. Boye, of Coopersburg, a noted
scientist of the period contemporary
with Agassiz and others equally as
noted, has just died at his home, aged
81 years. His death was due to all
ments incident to old age.
DR.. Boye's reputation as scientist
was world wide. He was born in Co.
penhagen, Denmark, in 1912, when
Frederick VI. was King, and in 1881
was graduated from the University of
Copenhagen and the Polytechnic
School connected Herewith, studying
under Oersted, Zeise and Fodchham-
mer In 1886 he went to Philadelphia
and entered the University of Pennsyl-
vania, studying chemistry, his special
ty, under the late DIR. Robert Hare. In
1898 he was appointed assistant geolo-
gist of the first geological survey of
, Pennsylvania.
In 1899 he was associated with Rob-
ert and James Rodgers, in analysing
limestone. coal. iron ore, etc While
engaged in these analyses he discover
ed a new compound of platinum chic
ride with nitric oxide Because of this
discovery he was eleClcu W Tie AlNeT-
lean Philosophical Society, and in 1915
helped to organize the American AS
y. ISOLATION of Biologists In the same
year he discovered the first of the vio-
lent explosives. perchloric ether, which
he proved was ten times as powerful
as gunpowder. He also found a remedy
against it's unexpected explosion by di-
luton with alcohol. He was thus in
ar important sense a pioneer in the
vast field Of smokeless gunpowder.
DR.. Boye was graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1914 as
a doctor of medicine. although he new
err practced extensively. In 1915 he
was elected professor of natural phil
osophy and chemistry in the Central
High school in Philadelphia. One of
his pupils was the late DIR. T. NJ.
Brown, a former President of Lehigh
University. Dr.. Boye was also the au-
thor of many treatises on noted scien-
tfc subjects.
In 1S45 he invented a process of re-
filming oil from cotton. Heretofore the
product refined was almost black and
very thick. His method produced a
bland and colorless oil adapted for
cooking or for salad dressing.
At the age of 81 DIR. BOye made an
extended trip to Alaska and when S.
visited Honolulu and witnessed the
transfer of the Hawaiian Islands to
the United States.

WEAK PEOPLE
need A TONIC
Strength for the Days Work
Depends Upon Good Red
Blood to Moorish the
Body.

There are thousands Of people, who
ore without ambition OF strength to do
sheir days work and who are always
tired out, have but little appetite and
poor digestion, cannot get a refreshing
nights sleep and are subject to head
aches, backaches and nervousness be-
cause their blood is impure.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills give quick re-
lief and permanently cure such men and
women because Of their direct action on
the blood, which they purify and build
up to it's normal strength. AS the blood
becomes pure and red it strengthens the
muscles, tones up the nerves, makes the
stomach capable of digestipg the food
aud repairs the wastes caused by growth
and work. In a word 1t gives perfect
health.
The usefulness in every family of a
safe and effective tonic is shown by the
following statement of Mrs. A. B.
Gates, of No. 9o7 East Second street,
Duluth, Mimi.

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not like

they reach many diseases caused by de-

One of the subdivisions under which
the correspondence and other papers of
the state offices is filed in the archives
department at the historical building
is headed "Cranks." All state offices
regularly receive their proportion of
crank" letters from citizens with "bats
in their belfries," who have all sorts of
schemes. The letters in the past seem
to have found their way to the letter
files and the archives department must
devote a section to them.
All the papers of the governors and
secretary OF states offices are now in
the archives department but not all
nave been sorted and indexed. A start
has been made on indexing those Of the
auditors office. The governors office
Is practically completed and the secre-
tary of states nearly so. AS may be
imagined the correspondence that went
thru the governors office is much Of
1t very highly interesting There is a
letter from the late Senator Harlan in
which he criticises in no very uncer-
e a
an on the north side of the soldiers
monument that is supposed to repre-
sent Iowa. There is correspondence
bearing on the senatorial contests of
1870 and 1873 that would have been
highly interesting reading during the
last campaign or at any other time.
There are letters there that are Of
priceless value from a historical stand
point and as soon as the men and is
sues of those times are dead it will be-
come the work of the historian to tell
the story. The issues are a little too
recent for the story to be told now and
besides some of the men are now living
so 1T wouldn't Go.
The man who gets the closest pros
pective frequently has the most ex-
aggerated idea OF the Importance of a
work. The men who have been work.
ing in the archives department fling
away papers bearing the signatures cf
the early governors and public men
think that the legislature made a most
egregrious error in not making a suit
able appropriation for a continuance
of the work of sorting and preserving
these papers free from the ravages of
dust But no one else can go to the
historical building and look thru the
papers without seeing the vast .istov-
ical value of these papers and the
necessity for saving them. OF course
they will not. however be lost by two
years delay. The next legislature will
appreciate the necessity OF
the work till 1t is finished
After that it will take but a small ep-
to keep it up to date.
In preparing his biography of the
late Senator Harlan, State Librarian
Johnston Brigham has been able to
make use of 2 great amount of papers
in the archives department and in the
mean time enough OF the papers are
sorted and filed that the historian can
begin preparing his notes at any time.
