Monster Locomotive Creates Much
Interest.


Erie locomotive No. 1900, which
with two exceptions, is the largest
in the world, pulled train of 80
cars up the Hawley branch one day
last week. This iron monster has
been in use on the Delaware division
at Susquehanna and Port Jervis. In
future 1t will be used to pull trains
up the grade between Avoca and
Elmhurst. 1t is practically two To-
comotives in one and weighs empty
205 tons, and with boiler and tank
filled, about 286 tons. 1t has 16
driving wheels, the eight forward
wheels being on swivel truck for
making the short curves, and has a
hauling capacity of 800 loaded cars,
or a train nearly two miles long.
1t will do the work of three ordi-
nary engines.
The Great Northern or one of the
great roads of the west also has a
similar locomotive, and another mon
ster which is even larger than the
two mentioned above has just been
turned out by the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works, at Philadelphia, for the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
way, and will be used for fast trains
on the mountain division in Southern
California and Nevada. 1t weighs
800 tons, and has a hauling power
one-half greater than any now in
use. Apart from it's tender this To-
comotive weighs 376,450 pounds and
is 65 feet long. The tender carries
$4,000 gallons of water, and 1000
gallons of oil, which is the fuel the
monster locomotive will use. This
will run the engine about 100 miles
without stopping for water or fuel.
The total length of the locomotive
and tender is 105 feet.

AS many owners of land are think
ing of planting fruit trees this fall,
the following taken from the cor
respondence of Professor H. A. Sur
face, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, Harrisburg, State Zoologist,
will be read by them with interest.
A professional man of Chambers
burg wrote for information concern
ing the planting of an orchard, and
among other things contained in his
letter was the following:
MY soil is specially adapted to the
peach, but apples also do very we'll
and have the advantage of a longer
season of harvesting. My profession
al duties render it almost impossible
for me to take the time to handle
and care for a peach orchard and
crop as it should be done, and / do
not want to plant single tree that
1 feel I shall not have time to give
some personal attention. In other
words, I would rather have five hun
dred apple trees well cared for than
five thousand neglected"
The Professors reply was as fol-
lows:
II acknowledge your letter of re-
cent date, concerning your orchard
planting, and can say that it will be
good plan to plant your apple
trees 38 or 40 feet apart, and also
plant peach trees half way between
them as filters. Your peach crop will
more than pay for the cost of plant
ing, and after getting about three
fruit crops from these trees you will
be entirely independent on that score,
and will have one or two of the crops
as entirely clear gain. Then you
can well afford to cut out the peach
trees, and the apple trees will come
into profitable bearing ana be really
improved in every respect by having
received the treatment that peach and
apple trees need while they are
young. I am confident that you will
get more profit from an acre planted
in peach than from two acres in ap-
pie trees, although must admit that
If not given good attention the peach
will not endure nearly as long as the
apple; but even the apple trees will
not be profitable in this State if
neglected. We must count with
certainty on their getting San Jose
scale sooner or later, and thus the
only thing to do is to be prepared
for an extensive warfare to control
this pest.
II agree with you that it is much
better to have a small orchard, we'll
cared for than a larger one neglect
ed. AS to whether you grow apples
or peaches, or both, will depend up
on your own inclination in the mat
ter, but your only trouble as to sue
cessful growing of fruit will be the
care of the orchard, with the paying
of special attention to the suppress
sion of pests. II you need help in
this direction, we shall be glad to
give it,"

is shown. On the next visit the
teacher was ill-prepared for his
work and it was one of his bad
days. These are the days when we
need self control. Do not let your
moods come into the school room.
We can modify nature and keep our
selves ready for the best work.
After this very interesting talk
Supt. Koehler declared the 42nd In
stitute closed.
Many things had helped to make
the week very pleasant one. The
unusually pleasant weather, the
pleasant auditorium, with its supply
of fresh air, the excellent music and
the high order of instruction all
combined to give teachers and visi-
tors a pleasant as we'll as profita0,e

the exact number Of candles and

"The lofty arches of the vener-
able church, with its wonderful
aisles and chapels, are gray with
the dirt of ages, and even the ceiling
of the great dome above the sepul-
cher of Christ is disfgured with
bare patches and hanging tatters
of blue fresco, because the conten-
tious followers of the humble Naz-
arene, in whose name they spit
upon each other, can not agree
who shall have the honor of repair
ing it,"
The writer quotes the words of
the Arab guardian who sits in the
doorway and keeps the keys of the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, a
duty that has reposed in his family
since the days of the great Omar.
He said:
"If we were not here the Chris
tians would kill each other. There
are times when it is necessary to
have thousand of our soldiers in
side of the building to keep the
peace. Think of a whole Moslem
regiment with rifles and bayonets
on duty in a Christian church on
Easter Sunday! These monks and
priests have no more reverence for
this place than so many merchants
have for their shops. They quarrel
and abuse each other from one end
of the year to the other and we are
constantly called upon to interfere
when they beat each other with fists
and brooms, yes, sometimes with
knives and hatchets. But there is
never Moslem who enters the
church without removing his shoes.
"In all the years I have sat here
I have never seen Christian monk,
Greek, Latin, Armenian, Copt, or
Syrian, give aims to the miserable
men, women, and children who
come here for help; yet it is COM
mon thing to see Moslems bestow
money on the beggars in and out
of the church. And no king has
such rich treasures as these monks
can show, while the pilgrims pour
new fortunes into their hands every
year.
"Oh, it is terrible here! There is
so much fraud, so much hatred, so
much jealousy. l have even seen
Christians shouting and swearing
and fighting like common street
ruffians around the tomb of Christ
itself We Moslems, of course,
guard this church because it is the
shrine of one of our greatest proph-
cts, Jesus, but also to keep the pub
lie peace.

TO HUNT FOR SONS GRAVE.
Widow of Millionaire Ore Magnate
to Go to Venezuela.

POTTSVILLE, Pa, Nov. 15.-Bent
on a most perilous journey of thous-
ands of miles, Mrs. A. G. Milliken,
widow of the millionaire steel and
paint ore magnate, left here to-day
for the heart of the wilds of Vene-
zuela in an effort to find the grave
of her son, DR.. Joshua Rhodes Mil
liken, a graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania.
DR.. Milliken died of the "black
fever" and was buried on April "a,
1908, in the jungle through whicn
an exploring expedition, with which
he had attached himself, was pass
ing.
Mrs. Millken's first stop will be at
Trinidad and then she will pass up
the Orinoco River into the interior
of Venezuela. She will be the first
white woman ever to make such a
trip. If she succeeds in finding the
grave of her son, she will arrange
to bring his body to Pottsville for
burial. South America laws will not
permit removal before 1913.

TOOK HUSBAND FOR BURGLAR.
Wife of a Physician Became Hys-
terical and Died.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.-Phil-
adelphia has on record to-day one of
the most remarkable cases in the
history of the city. After two weeks
of constant dread that the negro
burglar whom she met a fortnight
ago on the stairway of her home
just as he was making off with $500
worth of loot would return, Mrs.
Alice Williams, wife of DR.. Thomas
B. Williams, of No. 2030 North
Twentieth street, became hysterical
this morning when she heard foot
steps on the first floor of her home,
and a few minutes later died from
fear.
The woman's husband, was called
out early Oh a professional call. She
was in a highly nervous condition
when the physician left, and it is
presumed that the heart trouble
with which she has been affected
since the robbery was aggravated by
her concern at being left in the
house alone.
1t is believed that after several
hours filled with anxiety she fell in
to dose, and when DR.. Williams
came into the house just at daylight
she was awakened suddenly with
the fear that the negro burglar had
returned.
There was scream, and then the
physician heard thud. He found
her lying on the floor. Life was not
yet extinct, but she died in a few
minutes, without regaining con-
sciousness.
The physician said that his wife
had been suffering ever since the
robbery from recurrent heart disease
attacks.
He stated that she never recovered
from the shock she received when
she went downstairs two weeks ago,
expecting to meet him, and was
confronted by the negro. She
screamed and fell into a swoon on
the stairway, where she was found
several hours later by her husband.
Since then she had been confined to
her bed.
Deputy Coroner Kearns stated that
ed that he felt convinced that the
woman's death was due to fright.

WILL SAVE A MILLION A YEAR.
The Amendments, 1t is Said, VIII
Save the State That Much.

The Amendments, 1t is Said, VIII
Save the State That Much.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Nov. IL
Abolition of the February election,
as a result of the adoption of the
amendments to the State constitu-
ton in the recent election, will re-
suit in a direct saving of at least
$1,OOO,OOO a year. This is the esti-
mate of officials at the capitol who
are familiar with such matters.
The State itself will save approx
mately $15O,00O year by reason of
the doing away with the uniform
primaries in January. The counties
are reimbursed from the State treas
ury for the primary expenses, and
the bills for 1907 aggregated $140,-
156.75, and for 1908, $134,S31. AS
not all the districts hold uniform
primaries in January, some exercis-
ing the option to retain the old sys-
tenn and pay their own bills, it is es-
timated that the total cost of nom
mating officers for the February
election is 100000.
Expenses of the February election,
including pay of election officers,
rent of polling places, printing of
ballots, advertising of proclamations,
etc., are paid by the counties, but
there is sufficient data at the capitol
to make it certain that the aggregate
cost is not less than $375,000.
Thus the official part of the Janu-
ary primaries and the February
election represent total of $575,-
900. The expenditures of party
committees and candidates vary
greatly, but it is regarded at the
capitol as a moderate estimate to
make these figures at least as large
as the official expenditures, thus
bringing the aggregate up past the
$1,000,000 mark.
If the loss of time by individual
voters in going twice to the polls
could be estimated, it would prob
ably double the above figures.
