ed that construction OF the 81 5o,-

will pass within a couple of miles
OF Sunbury will bc commenced this
year.
Mr.. Ramsey, who was formerly
president of the Wabash railroad
announced his plans for his new
line about two years ago.
1t had been intended to start con-
struction of the road a year later
but a huancia! depression which
set i'll at that time caused tempo
rary halt III carrying out the plans.
British fnanciers are Mr.. Ramsey's
hackers. 1t is understood that
arrangements have been made for
all the funds needed to so right
ahead with the work.
The Lorain, Ashland and South
ern road of which Mr.. Ramsey is
now the head, is to be one of the
feeder" of the new line.
The claim is made that the New
York, Pittsburg and Chicago Air
Line railroad will be 65 miles short
er between Pittsbuig and New
York than the Pennsylvania and
IoS miles snorter than the present
shortest line between New York
and Chicago. The line between
Pittsburg and New York will be
$50 miles long.
1t will be a low grade, double
track line and will be operated with
electric locomotives from the begin
ming. Engineers have been work.
ing OH the project for several years
and practically every detail, incl
dent to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., has
been completed. 1t is estimated
that the line can be built in three
years.
The company was incorporated at
the time at 81 900. 900, and several
other projects in Pennsylvania al
ready have been consolidated as
links in the line. among them being
the Indiana, Clearbeld & Eastern,
the Allentown, Tamaqua & Ash

through the following counties of
Pennsylvania Lawrence. Beaver,
Allegheny, Armstrong, Indiana,

A Magazine That is Up and Doing.

Editors of magazines publishing
novelties have long complained of
the difficulty Of securing satisfac-
tory stories of this type, owing to
the fact that most writer's find 1t
just as easy and more profitable to
expand a plot suitable for novelet-
ties, into a book, too long for maga-
zine nse. Be this as it may, Lip
binc0WS seems to have solved the
problem, for in it has appeared a
long series of fine complete novels,
and instead of falling off the quail
ity seems to be steadily improving.
The February issue contains pow
erful tale of army life by General
Charles King. 1t is entitled Ian
ier of the Cavalry" and portrays
army life with the same vigor and
naturalness which chara terized

of the Cavalry" as well as a
charming love story-two charming
love stories, in fact. The story
will probably be brought out in
Book form later, as are so many of
the LtPpineOh novelettes.
There are some exceptionally
good short stories in this issue, in

Three Years of State Police.

The experience of about three
years with the State police force
has been SO satisfactory that a
good deal Of the opposition first
manifested has died away. There
has been some agitation to have
the present legislature increase the
force. While that may be seri-
ously opposed, it is not likely that
the old time agitation. in favor of
the repeal of the act by which it
was created will be renewed.
The act was antagonized by a
large part of the labor element on
the ground that the force was in
tended mainly to benefit the corpo-
rations in times of labor troubles.
While service in such times was
one of the objects the constabulary
has been SO active in suppressing
general lawlessness, especially
among the foreign element, that
its value has been impressed upon
all classes of people. The men
have exhibited commendable cour-
age under most trying circumstan-
ces. Seeing what they have done,
some of the people who at first
were actively opposed to the organ
ization or were lukewarm are now
hearty advocates of its mainte-
nance.

Knocking Pennsylvania.

Among the men of affa rs in this
great State of Pennsylvania there
is no dearth of material fit to re-
present the Commonwealth in the
United States Senate. 1t would be
no difficult task to pick out dozen
adherents OF either political party
possessing the requisite degree of
learning, the legal acumen, the
oratorical ability. the broad under
standing of governmental affairs
and the unimpeachable integrity to
qualify them to speak for the Key
stone State in the upper house at
Washington.
1t ought not to be necessary to
explain these facts to the people of
other States. But the election of
Boies Penrose to a third term in
Senate by the Pennsylvania Gener-
al Assembly is tantamount to de-
claration that he is the best we
have. That proposition ought to

Slides Loaned by State.
Thousands Of Co!ored Slides 10 Be Had For
the Asking. For Educational Purposes.

Something along the line of edit
cation that is decidedly unique
and original in Pennsylvania is the
imparting of information by means
of circulating loan collection of Ian
tern slides by the State, and is part
of the system of education that has
grown up since the establishment of
the Educational museum in connec-
tio1 with the State library.
The new idea in the educational
campaign was originated by Miss
Alicia 4. Zierden, the curator of
the Educational Museum, and when
it is understood the public will be
eager to take advantage of il.
Through Miss Zierden's efforts
collection of 800 lantern slides
have been gathered by the State,
which it is proposed to loan
to schools, institutions, study
clubs, agricultural, historical, nat
ural history, art and architectural
societies, in fact to all various or
ganizatious that are educational in
their bent. These slides are beau
tiful in their colorings, many of
them most exquisite. They are
loaned absolutely free OF charge on
application to any institution de.
vised for edcational purposes, the
number given to any single appli-
cant being as high as hundred,
fully illustrating any lecture that
can be gotten up.
INCLUDE FARMS AND FLoCKs.
Sets of agricultural slides include
farms and focks with dairying
scenes from cattle in the meadows
to cream and butter on the table.
Another is from the growing, har-
vesting and threshing of the grain
to the converting of the -four into
bread.
Among the natural and manufac-
tured industries are iron, steel, coal,
coke, gas and lumber. For illus
tration: The iron series shows the
Lake Superior mining region, the
huge machinery used for extract
ing ore, transportation on the lakes
and cars, to the manufacturing dis
trict through the great steel works
to the manufactured product.
There is fine collection of slides
on the history of the oil industry
in Pennsylvania from 1864 to the
present time, both interesting and
instructive. The lumber series
shows the standing forests, the cut
ting, loading, transportation and
saving of logs.
All these slides are labeled and
classified with common and scien-
tific names, and their number is
constantly increasing. For educa-
tional purposes at anytime of the
year they are invaluable, and they
will be in great demand. Miss Zier-
den spent over year collecting
them. travelling all over the count
ry, and getting rare pictures from
out -the-way places. They can
be had for educational purposes on
application by letter to the Museum
of Education at the State library.
