HONESDALE TO SCRANTON BY
TROLLEY.

With everything practically COM
pleted for the building of the road,
the Scranton and Lake Ariel Rail
way company will on May 23rd ap-
ply to the Governor for a charter
The road is to be financed and
built by Scranton capital It's pro-
moters are in the main John J.
Brown, w. J. Davis, Valentine Bliss,
John J. Holland, F. w Wollerton
and a. G. Rutherford. 1t is plan
ned to operate a high tension trolley
line much on the order of the North
ern Electric railway
Originally it was planned to run
the road into the city by way of
Dunmore, but this has been aband-
oned, since the organizers and the
councilmen couldn't agree on the
terms of the franchise. The road
will now enter the city by a more
direct route. There are several
in mind, but none has been definitely
decided upon.
The route begins outside the city
at the dividing line between Roar
III = Ii OOh lON hollip anu LlOHNO " e
From thence it will go as follows:
Beginning on Main street. Mos
COW, where the county line crosses
Lackawanna county line; thence
through the different streets of said
borough; thence along Bear Brook
road to Hollisterville; thence from
Hollisterville to Moors Corners to
Hamilton; thence from Hamilton
along the North and South turn
pike to Lake township line; thence
from the dividing Lake and Salem
townships along the public road
leading to Lake Ariel. The line will
return by the same route.
The renewed activities of the
Wayne Traction company of Homes
dale by General Manager Harry
Richards, appear to Honesdale folks,
to have some bearing upon the
Scranton and Lake Ariel company
in that it is stated the local COM
pany will extend it's line from Haw-
ley to Lake Ariel on the old Penn
sylvania Gravity railroad bed. From
Ariel a survey has been made
through the rural districts of Salem
to South Canaan, to near Canaan
Corners, to Lake Lodore, to Way
mart and from thence to Homes
dale, making a belt line.
The Lake Lodore Improvement
company has offered the right OF
way around Lake Lodore as a
pleasant ride and also the right to
that popular resort.
On the whole trolley from
Scranton to Honesdale appears to be
possibility.

Wonderful Victoria Falls.

ut is well nigh impossible to de-
scribe a scene of such wonder, such
wildness," says Lady Sarah Wilson in
her South African Memories" of the
Victoria falls. But she gives this
graphic descriptions: standing on
point flush with the river before It
makes its headlong leap, we gazed
first on the swirling water losing it
self in snowy spray which beat re-
lentlessly on face and clothes while
the great volume was noisily disap-
pearing to unknown and terrifying
depths. The sightseer tries to look
across. to strain his eyes and to see
beyond that white mist which OBJ
scures everything. but it is an impos-
sible task, and he can but guess the
width of the falls, slightly horseshoe
in shape, from the green trees which
seem so far away on the opposite
bank and are only caught sight e
now and then as the wind causes the
spray to lift. At the same time his
attention is fixed by a new wonder
the much talked of rainbow. Never
varying, never changing, that perfect
shaped arc is surely more typical of
eternity there than anywhere else"

a WANDERING lake.

Lake Nor in the Tabi desert, in
southwestern Asia which has been
called the wandering lake presents
a phenomenon about which contra
dictory views have been entertained.
Perhaps the Swedish explorer Sven
Hedin has given the most plausible
explanation touching this phenome-
non.
1t appears, according to that eXplor-
er, that the Tarim river, entering the
lake from the west, brings down dur
ing the period Of high water late in
summer a great quantity of salt,
which has the effect of driving the lake
lying on the level floor of the desert
toward the southeast. But the sum-
mer wind. drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast,
and it. too, tends to drive the lake be
fore it, The combined effect of the
urging by the wind and the river is
to force the lake southwark. Yet it
is thought the migration Of the lake
is not constant in direction, but 1t
shifts back and forth internationally,
according as the circumstances change.

THE CLOSED SHOP.

Mr.. ]. II. Rosny, a famous French
author on social subjects, speaks in
his recent book of the closed shop:
"He has investigated the history
of syndicatism or trade unionism
and believes in its utility but he
does not favor the closed shop, the
system that tells man he dare not
work unless he bows the knee to
the cap on the pole. Why. it's a
tyranny worse than was Gessler's
over William Tell, accepting that
play at least as symbol. The
labor unions have summoned mon
sters from the vastly deep, and they
have unhappily come on being sum-
moned One is the monstrous be-
lief in the general strike, the other
the monster that bars the door of
the open shop
Both will perish; one has already
given up the ghost in Philadelphia.

The First Fork.

The first fork? The fork, as a mat.
ter of fact, did not appear as a table
implement until the seventeenth cen
tury, though rs early as the thirteenth
century gold and silver ones were
made for special purposes. The ordi-
nary diner was only provided with 4
trencher, a napkin and a spoon. For
knife he used his own, which he car
ried about, and, worse, there was no
second trencher, no second spoon.
When the several courses came along
he exercised his ingenuity and mopped
his rencher with his bread. His
spoon-well, we. ourselves lick postage
stamps !-London Chronicle.

From every view point the farming
class of this country is in better
shape now than at any period since
the Civil war. More people own their
own homes and little farms; more are
free from the yoke of bondage in
flicted by burdensome debts; more
are becoming Independent each year
by making comfortable living for
their families; more are waking up
to the necessity of giving their chill
dren better educational advantages.
and withal, prosperity and content
ment seem to prevail throughout the
country. Let progress still be our
watchword.

HINT FOR THE TOWN COUNCIL.

Dry calcium chloride is being used
in Syracuse, Long Branch and a few
other cities for keeping the dust laid.
The result of the experiments is
spoken of as satisfactory by the
Municipal Journal and Engineer.
Calcium chloride is a deliquescent
salt, and a macadamized street treat
ed with it does not dry so long as
the chemical stays in it and there is
any moisture in the atmosphere. 1t
is estimated that four applications
would be ample for a season of eight
months.
Calcium chloride costs $13 a ton,
and one pound per square yard is re-
quired for the first treatment and a
half pound square yard for sue
eeeding applications.
The Municipal Journal and Engi-
neer says: THE chloride gives the
street a white appearance; to a per-
son standing at a distance it looks as
white as roadway after heavy
snowfall of say FIVE minutes. The
close observer can see that the pro-
cess of absorbing moisture begins at
once. Small particles accidentally
scattered on the sidewalk attract
moisture and show like drops of wa
ter. In ten to fifteen minutes the
general appearance of the street
changes; the larger particles still are
visible. but the pulverized chemical
has disappeared and the ground has
a dark appearance, indicating moist
ure."
Why not give this new dust rem
edy trial? 1t has none of the OBJ
jectionable features of the tar pre-
paration.

NEARLY READY FOR BUSINESS.
Kelly g. Steinman's Cut Glass Plant
to Begin Operations Monday.

One of our representatives made
visit to the Outing" plant yester-
day, which, by the way, we shall
have to call the cut glass factory
hereafter, and found force of men
at work setting up the machinery
for cutting glass.
Mr.. Kelly gave us very cordial
welcome and took us through the
building. We were surprised to find
the first floor entirely filled with cut
ting frames and other apparatus
used in this work, and were inform
ed that the entire building, from
basement to roof will be filled to
it's utmost capacity from the start
The shafting has had to be
changed and other alterations made,
but the proprietors think that on
Monday next they will be prepared
to begin operations.
About fifty applications for en-
ployment from local people have al
ready been received and more are
applying every day, all of whom are
assured work providing they take
the work up in a business-like man
ner and make an honest effort to
learn it, The new methods of
treating the glass with acid elimin-
ates the unhealthful conditions of the
old process, and no one need have
any fears on this score; in fact it
is as clean and healthful work as
anyone could wish for.
A numbered of experienced work
men from Honesdale and other
places will be employed and several
of them are now making arrange
ments for the removal of their fam

science has been able to cure in all
it's stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only posi-

constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment, Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient

Iona Words.


While our language does not contain
such long words as are found in some
other tongues nor so many words of
unusual length, still we have several
that are awkwardly long for conversa-
tlonal purposes. We have ''philopro-
genitiveness," with twenty letters; Gin
terconvertibilities," with twenty-one;
''intercommunicabil with twenty
two; "dispoportionableness," with
twenty-three, and "transsubstantiatio
alists" and "contradistinguishabillty,"
each containing twenty-four letters. An
effective little word is "synacategore-
matte" as 1t manages to compress
eight syllables into seventeen letters.
The longest monosyllables contain
nine letters, and there are four ex-
amples; ''splotched," ''squelched,"
strengths" and stretched" - New
