A Great Disappointment.

We are informed that the entertain
ment announced to be held by the Fred
erick Mannerchor Club in Town Hall,
this place, will not be given; the reason
being that there have been several deaths
in the families of club members. This
is great disappointment both to the
members of st. Stephens Episcopal
church and to music lovers of Thurmont.
An effort will be made to give home
talent entertainment in the near future.

Our AcetyIpne Light Plant.

A number of our exchanges, as well as
some of our subscribers at distance,
have been indulging in commiserative re-
marks over the installation of acetylene,
instead of electric light, in Taneytown,
and expressing the opinion that we will
"be sorry" after while, that we did
not install the latter Perhaps, but a
good many small towns are sorry that
they have such an electric service as they
have, and where the light is fully salts
factory, it costs more than they can af-
ford
As yet, we have not felt "sorry," but
it has been very evident to good many,
from the beginning, that several changes
must be made here to make the service
fully satisfactory, and we indulge the
hope that after year of actual expert
ence, most, if not all, of these changes
will come to pass.
We do not have enough lights on our
streets. This is not the fault of the light
itself, but of it's distribution either more
! lSHlo, VI larger Dulliclo, arc icSucu.
The moonlight" schedule is unsatis-
factory, for all reasons. There ought to
be light every night, except possibly three
or four nights, each month.
The twelve o'clock turning out of the
lights should give place to all night SER
vice.
And lastly, the large users of gas, like
stores, churches and halls should be CIV
en- sliding rate, and a low rate be made
for gas stoves.
Our citizens will be willing to wait a
year, in order to see intelligently just
what can be done in the way of giving
greater and cheaper service, but they will
then want it. Posterity and not entire
ly the present generation, has right to
pay for the plant. 1t would be unwise
and unfair to try to make money-or to
save money-too rapidly in the beginning
We want all the benefits, now, that can
safely be given, taking into account the
financial end of the situation. .-Taney-

SAT IN THE SENATE.
An Outsider Who Innocentiy Made
Himself at Home.


The American people once elected
tailor to the presidency, and doubt
less many manipulators of the shears
and goose have sat In the seats of the
migNy by election. but only once did
tailor make himself at home on the
floor OF the United States senate when
he had no constituency TO represent.
The tailor was Hermann Moritz
Riedel of Philadelphia, who visited
Washington in April. 1868. to attend
the exciting scenes during the i'm
parchment proceedings against An
drew johnson. a fellow craftsman.
And this is the account Of how he
witnessed these proceedings as pub
lished in the Washington Republican
Of that day:
"a good looking Teutonic friend Of
ours a day or two since made an ear
nest appeal to our Muggins for tick
ct to the senate to listen to what was
going forward at the impeachment
trial. Muggins. as Is his wont, in the
kindness of his soul consented to fur
nish Teuton with the talismanic paste
board which effects the open sesame to
the senate chamber and also assured
our friend that he would accompany
him to the gallery and and bin an
eligible seat. Muggins and Teuton
started to work their way in. but Mug
gins was detained outside Of the door
for q few moments. and our German
friend went on and passed the yigilant
sentinels at the outer door and went
directly to the entrance OF the senate
chamber and was admitted by the
gentlemanly ushers under the belief
probably that be was member OF
congress and passed through the vesti-
bule and took his seat In the first va
cant chair and there remained during
the entire session In the confident be-
lief that he was entitled to the seat"
The descendants Of Hermann Riedel
are living In Washington now. The
tailor. who was top notcher" at his
trade. according to all accounts, died

THE BLUE WHALE.
A Monster skeleton That 10 Eighty
seven Feet In Length.

seNen Foet w Gen9tHs
What Is claimed as the largest AMI
mai In the world Is represented by a
colossal skeleton In the museum Of
Christchurch. New Zealand. says the
london Globe. This Is the remains Of
large specimen of the blue whale
stranded ON the coast Of that country.
This whale Is probably the largest Of
all living animals. The length of the
skeleton Is eighty-seven feet. and the
head alone Is twenty-one feet. The
weight OF the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
its name Of blue whale from the dark
blush gray of Its upper surface. The
tlnge of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which 1t is known on the western side
Of the Atlantic. 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera sib-
baldiD.
The chief food of this gigantic anil
mai is small marine crustacean
(Tbysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as 'kril." Another species of
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained In thousands from the stom-
achs Of mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum
shrimps found In enormous numbers
in the Greenland seas form the chief
food of the common whale. Some Of
the thysanopodae are phosphorescent
and contribute to the luminosity Of the
sea,

TESTING THE TEACHER.
A Curious Old School Report Made In
Boston In 1722

a Curious Old School Report Made IN
Boston In 1722.
In the town records of the city or
Boston there is curious passage
which records how a schoolmaster was
examined and what happened. The
manner In which the visit of inspection
is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
II he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May,
1922, 1t Is set forth that:
"Coll Pen Townsend, Jeremiah Al
len Esqr. & John Edwards together
with the Select men, Vissitted the
wrightlng School at the Southerly End
Of Boston on Thursday the oath apll
1922. and Examined the Scholars I'M
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency In Reading writing Scy-
phering & the masters ability OF teach
ing & Instructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are Of Opinion
That 1t will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr anger In that Employ"
Whereupon II was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master of the "Said South
school,"
1t Is true that nothing Is said Of the
methods Of spelling inculcated at the
''wrighting School," and II Is also pos
sible that clerk rather than the CON-
mittee was responsible for the errors
Of the secord. but there is certainly
something absurd In the passage as It
tands.-Exchange

THE DEER's HORNS.
They Present All the Phenomens Of
Animal and Vegetable Growth.


Why and how is the deer so peculiar
ly unlike any other of the bovine race,
the horn differing so materially from
all the horned cattle In its composition,
growth, maturity and decline? 1t pre-
sents all the phenomena of animal and
vegetable growth. 1t sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation of the
frontal bone. 1t rises and breaks
through the sinews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as q vege-
table. 1t is nourished by and secretes
albumen upon the surface and disposes
Of the fibrin the same as an animal.
1t is clothed with a skin and hairy
rest Of the body. This covering and
hair possess. a property unknown in
other animal bodies-that of being a
styptic to stanch its own blood when
wounded. 1t carries marks Of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year, which shows an ad.
ditional power each year to produce
them. And this power does not exist
in the female. So this difference is
more distinctly marked than in any
other class of animals. Again, the horn
possesses properties unknown in ally
other animal matter. 1t is entirely IN
odorous, capable Of resisting putrefac.
ton and almost impervious to the ef-
fects Of the atmosphere.
And still water at 300 degrees F.
will dissolve these horns readily. even
though they are not soluble IN alcohol
and resist the action Of acids and aka
lis 1t is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know Of that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male and the female are sus-
tanned by the same nutrition and ele-
ments. and only the male produces
horns. This phenomenon is quite as
much Of curiosity as the absence OF
the horn in the buck after shedding
Exchange.
