Battles In the Blood.

An interesting record of what may
be called, somewhat fancifully, and
yet with a certain degree of truth,
the battles that occur in the blood OF
fever patient between noxious and
benign micpo-organisms was presented
at a recent meeting of the Royal
Microscopical Society by Doctor Bern
stein. The patient in this case was
suffering from malarial fever. The
observations were made at intervals
of few minutes during a period of
FIVE hours. The defenders of the
patients life were a kind of Ieuco-
cytes, which destroyed the malarial
parasites. A b "ocyte would enguf a
parasite, which ;, 4 then be seen
undergoing prooes> disintegTa-
tbon inside the leJIoocyoo, and only
the pigment graDules were left. After
ward other Lennocytes would approach
and absorb even these granuIes.

ENTRIES FOR MONROE FAIR.
Speed Events and the Cattle Display
Will BE Wen Cared For.

J. S. Schoonover and H. f. Cool
baugh, secretary, representing the
Monroe County Agricultural society,
have returned from trip through
Pike county, Port Jervis, n. Y, and
points in Jersey in the interests of
the coming fair, which opens at
Stroudsburg Labor day, and they
were very successful in interesting
people in the coming event and in
securing exhibits for the fair and
entries for the races.
Mr.. Schoonover states that they
secured numerous entries for the
speed events, which will add to the
pleasure of this attraction of the
fair. Some of the horses are of the
very speediest nature and will make
racing of a class that will be fully
up to the standard of the past two
years, when all previous records for
speed were broken.

The commission appointed by the
legislature to revise and modify the
election laws of Pennsylvania has
about concluded its labors and will
make a preliminary report, probably
in the fall. Among the changes
which the commission will recon-
mend is that the voter be permitted
to use his ballot after the manner
of the old vest-pocket ballot, mark
ing it either at home or before he
enters the polling booth. There is
a general complaint against the
cumbersome blanket ballot now
used as being confusing to the voter
and liable to result in preventing
the citizens from properly designat-
ing the persons for whom they wish
to vote.
The commission is not in favor oil
abolishing the blanket ballot, but
thinks the New Jersey plan of plac.
ing the ballot in an envelope is pre-
ferable to the present method OF
restricting the voter to marking
his ballot in private or asking as
sistance in marking his ballot.

In the Himalayas, on the side fac
ing India, the limit of perpetual snow
Is about $500 feet higher than in
the Alps. One result of this is that
various forms of life are found in the
great Asian mountains at an eleva-
ton which seems extraordinary.
Among these are many species Of
ants, which have been particularly
studied by DR.. August Forel. Up to
nearly 10000 feet the ants are very
abundant. and even at the elevation
Of 10000 feet four species have bsen
found, and it is believed that more
careful investigation would show
that they exist even at $1,000 feet or
more. A unique fact, not found in
any other great mountain range, is
that the Himalayas possess an i'm
mense variety Of local species of ants.
Out of 110 forms recognized in the
Himalayac. so are peculiar to those
mountains.

BUTTONS THEY WEAR.
About so Per Cent. Of New York's
Men Belong to Some Society.

Any one who pays attention to the
appearance of the folks he meets
when out walking is apt to notice the
number that sport lapel buttons OF
some sort II looks as II about so
per cent of the men In this city are
joiners; they belong to some society
or other. The habit of Joining is
matched by the desire to show the
token of the society
Some man will come along with a
Masonic button. Then there will be
an Elk or so, an Eagle, a Forester,
sandwiched in between couple OF
high school buttons and closely fol-
lowed perchance by an emblem of the
Knights of Columbus
The Holland Society lion appears
now and then, and there are Republi-
can club markers and indicators of
membership in those pedigree institu-
tons which go back to the Revolu-
tionary and subsequent wars. Civil
war and Spanish war buttons are to
be seen.
Occasionally the glance shifts from
lapel to waistcoat as a young man
comes wandering by with his hands in

Naked Bather Exists in Hawley, Too

The nude bathing nuisance, which
has been written up in Honesdale,
appears to be known in Hawley.
This is from the last issue Of the
Hawley Times:
Numerous complaints have been
made about boys, and in some in
stances even men, bathing in the
LackawaXen within the borough
limits. The practice is confined
principally to that portion lying north
of Hawley and along the Erie rail-
road. The complaints are based up
on the fact that in almost every in
stance no bathing suit is worn and
the bathers appear to be absolutely
oblivious to passersby.
The attention of bathers is di-
rected to the fact that there is law
against such practices. The COM
plants heard have been numerous
and those making them say that un-
less the practice is stopped some
action will be taken in the matter.
The complainants have no desire to
stop bathers from enjoying the sport,
but they do not wish to have their
sensibilities shocked by daily ex-
hibitions. Moreover, the outlines ex-
hibited are not such as would startle
a Grecian sculptor. A bathing suit
costs but a trifle and its use is
much more dignified and fashion
able,

ABOUT SUMMER BOARDERS.

There is general complaint in this
and nearby sections that the city
boarder is not disporting himself in
numbers as large as usual. Various
reasons are assigned for the delin-
quency, among them that the au-
tomobile has captured many, not
alone the persons but their pockets,
and instead of quietly settling down
in some favored spot they are kick
ing up a dust throughout the coun-
try spreading their dollars over
more territory, perhaps not so many
on board and clothes, because some
must go for cost and upkeep OF the
machine. If this reason is the true
one, then with the probable cheap
ening of machines in the future and
the development of freedom from
restrictions and the pleasure OF sight
seeing in the country, coming sea-
sons may find more people enjoying
their vacations by making trips in
autos. The sequestered nook and
shady glen will give way to the
rush over the roads and the varied
scenery along them, Times change
and we change with them, and there
is constant necessity that we ad-
just ourselves to new conditions.
One of them might be to induce city
people to become cottage owners here
and make this the central point of
their excursions. A good live real
estate agent might be a blessing TO
the town.-Pike County Press.

Accidentally an interesting disooV-

by leakage from blast furnaces and
slags was employed, and the prodnct
was found 10 be particularly good

The OpticaI Lever,

The delicate measurements de.
manded by modern scientific processes
and machines have led to the inven-
tion of many instruments of precision
that surprise the uninitiated by their
capabilities, which are often based
on extremely simply principles
Among these is a little apparatus re-
Gently put upon the market in
France for determining the thick
ness, or one might say. lack of thick
ness, of extremely thin plates, wires
and threads. The inventor likens its
action to that of a lever in which a
ray of light takes the place of the
beam. Essentially the apparatus
consists of two carefully ground
plates in contact with one another,
the upper one being attached to a
movable arm. When an object is
placed between the edges of the
places the upper plate is displayed a
little in level, and the effect Of this
displacement is magnified by a re-
fected ray of light which falls upon
a graduated scale. Thus the most
delicate measurements Of thickness
are easily and quickly made.

Fine-Looking Men From Wayne.

Capt. Sylvester Delaney of the
United States army medical corps
is in the city spending his vacation
at the home of his parents and with
his brother, Attorney E. A. De-
laney, says the Carbondale Leader.
Capt. Delaney is on President Taft s
medical staff. He is one of the fin
est-looking men in the army and
conceded to be one of the best doc
tors. When President Taft first saw
Delaney he was much attracted by
his personality. On. B.-This isn't
told by Doctor Delaney, for he
doesn't talk that way.) And when
he learned there were several more
brothers in the family with just the
same broad shoulders and healthy
complexion he said: "Well, if
Wayne county, Pa, has many such
specimens of men as Delaney, it
must be fine place to breed men,"
DR.. Stillwell Burns of the Medico-
Chirurgical college of Philadelphia,
who was here as the guest of DR..
Grant, is a great friend of Capt.
Delaney, and while here he took
the pains to call on the mother Of
the captain. The friends just miss
ed each other, as Capt. Delaney
arrived only a short time after DR..
Burns departure.

MIR. sULzER ON GOOD ROADS.
New York Congressman Descants
Upon Their Value to Community.


Congressman William Sulzer of
New York has the following thoughts
to present, among others Just as
good covered in many of his speeches
on good roads, which is interesting
reading to Wayne county good
roads advocates
Il have been an earnest advocate
Of postal savings, parcels post, and
good road building. They are sure
to come, and | shall briefly discuss
some of their advantages. Good
roads mean progress and prosperity,
a benefit to the people who live in
the cities, an advantage to the peo-
pie who live in the country, and it
will help every section of our vast
domain.
Good roads, like good streets,
make habitation along them most
desirable; they enhance the value
of farm land, facilitate transporta-
ton, and add untold wealth to the
producers and consumers of the
country; they are milestones mark
ing the advance of civilization; they
economize time, give labor a lift and
make millions in money; they save
wear and tear and worry and waste; !;
they beautify the country-bring it
in touch with the city; they aid the
social and the religious and the edu-
Cational and the industrial progress
of the people; they make better
homes and happier hearthsides; they
are the avenues of trade, the high
ways of commerce, the mail routes
of information, and the agencies of
speedy communication; they mean
the economical transportation of
marketable goods-the maximum
burden at the minimum cost; they
are the ligaments that bind the
country together in thrift and in
dustry and intelligence and patriot
ism; they promote social inter
course, prevent intellectual stagna-
ton, and increase the happiness and
prosperity of our producing masses; !;
they contribute to the glory of the
| country, give employment to our
idle workmen, distribute the neces-
stiles of life-the products of the
field and forest and the factories
encourage energy and husbandry
