OLDEST CHAIR IN AMERICA

Hanover, Pa, lost the oldest and
what is believed to be the most re-
markable piece of furniture in Ameri-
ca when the famous Bingley armchair,
which has seen five centuries, was
expressed to Hagerstown, Md, the
home of Joseph Parker BiDgley, who
Inherited it by the will of his father,
the late John Jackson Bingley of Han
over. Kept as an heirloom, the an
Gent chair has been passed down from
rather to son for many generations.
J. Edward Bingley of Baltimore, Md,
Is heir apparent to the coveted relic.
The chair is massive piece of
work, made In Yorkshire, England, in
1880. 1t represents the type of ar
chitecture popular in those days.
English oak, inlaid with various kinds
of wood, was used in its construction.
The back is handsomely carved and
at the top figures of birds are engrav-
ed. The joints are mortised and held
together with wooden pegs.
Sixty-two years before Columbus
discovered America this chair was
built, and it remained in the town of
Bingley, named from the ancestors of
the present owner, during the reign of
twenty English monarchs, from Hen
ry vi. to Victoria After :. brief stay
at Leeds, it was taken to Manchester.
In 1856 the chair was brought to
this country on the ship Mary Hale
and was landed at Baltimore. In the
Civil war the chair was in Richmond,
Va, where the owner temporarily left
it In the care of friend while he es-
capped to the north. Subsequently 1t
1894 was brought to Hanover.

LIGHTING BY SUGAR

The suggestion has been put for
ward that there is every possibility
that. in the near future, sugar will
play an important part in the pro-
vision of a new method of artificial
lighting. Experiments have shown
that when disks of loaf sugar are
placed on lathe and rapidly rotated
while hammer plays lightly against
them. there is an almost continuous
radiation of artificial light At pres
ent the practical value of the discov-
cry is nil. but It is quite within the
bounds of possibility that discoveries
will soon be made that will render
its practical application a certainty.
The cause of the phenomena is not
at present correctly understood but
it is probably due to some change In
the formation of the sugar crystals.
Cases where the act of capitalization
is accompanied by flashes Of light are
not unknown and probably this is due
to some similar cause. At any rate,
this appears to be the only feasible
explanation, as it has been proved
that the light is not caused by the
heating of the sugar during the ex-
pertinent.

ROPES OF HUMAN HAIR

We are constantly getting some oil
our cherished ideas shattered by re-
search. One of the stories which was
not always accepted as an axiom re-
lates to the ladies Of Carthage, who,
we were taught, cut off their hair, Of
fered their tresses in the temples of
the gods and then turned them into
ropes for the warships when their
country was threatened. The news
now comes from Antwerp, through a
French source, that a manufacturer
in that city has turned his attention
to this method of rope making. He
asserts that human hair possesses
great durability, strand can lift just
three-quarters of ton, and another
advantage is that such a rope does
not stretch The Amsterdam manu-
facturers idea is to use his hair ropes
for aeroplanes in place of wire stays.

Women Spoke In a Church

and the state body sided with him.
The synod raised its hands in hor-
ror at the mere idea of women not
keeping silent in churches. True, the
women who spoke were not preaching
sermons. and the meeting was not
strictly Presbyterian meeting. but
1t was in a church and women broke
away from the keep silence In pub
lic' mandate.
DR.. Barr admits the charge In gen
eral, but says that the women were
not speaking in the church. He says
the congregation is the church and
that the place of worship is merely
the church building.

! The Ice cave at DEBORAH. Iowa. is
one of natures wonders. The only
other caves of a similar character of
note are one located in Kentucky and
another in Russia Scientists have
advanced several theories as to the
formation of ice In the DEBORAH cave
during the summer time. 1t is
known fact, however, that ice forms
in the summer and disappears in win
ter. That the amount of moisture in
the ground has its bearing has also
been proved by the disappearance of
ice In times of continued extreme
drouth. When this condition arises.
though the ice may disappear, the
cave will be cool and damp. When
conditions are normal ice begins
forming in the spring and increases
to the thickness of three to four
inches. The cave Is located in the
side of a bluff on the north side of
the city and fully 100 feet above the
Upper Iowa river. Its location is pic
turesque and the citizens of DEBORAH
have constructed fine drive that ex-
tends for a half mile along the face
of the bluff. At one time a specula-
tive citizen thought to make money
out OF the cave by closing the en-
trance with door and charging adj
