The First Climbers.

A Munich paper has been searching
the records of history to discover who
were the first mountain climbers. 1t
gives the palm to Moses and his as
cent of Mount Sinai, and rules out
Noah for his ascent of Mount Ararat
because he made it in a boat. There
is sufficient evidence to show that the
ancients thought mountain climbing
sheer madness.
No one in the time Of Horace or
Polybius wanted to go climbing for a
summer holiday. A Chinese emperor
in the seventh century was the first
to make climbing fashionable In the
east. But the first true tourists in
Europe seem to have been Dante, Pc
trarch and Leonard. Then came the
EMPEROR Macmillan l., who used to
hunt in the mountains near Innsbruck,
and after him Conrad Won Gesner and
Josias Simler explored the Swiss
mountains. But climbing for pleas
pre such as we know it today was
not thought of until quite recently

EXPLOSION IN
THE GAS OVEN
Few Dishes Broken in Kit
chen of Report Homo.
SpecidI 10 the EVENING NE TVS.

Keyport, Sept. 11:-About 8
o'clock Tuesday afternoon the neigh
borhood about Osborn street, be-
tween Cross and Warren streets, was
somewhat startled by an explosion
followed Immediately by the crash
of breaking crockery. Upon investi-
cation it was discovered that the
.commotion was in the residence Of
William Mauer in Osborn street.
While the odor of gas escaping
was very apparent, Mrs. Mauer did
not give it any thought as she 1gnit-
ed a match and started to light the
burner under the oven of her gas
range. The explosion followed in
stantly. No flames were visible and
the stove was not injured. The only
damage was to a number of dishes
and a jardinier which had been
placed over the range. These were
knocked to the floor. Mrs. Mauer
was not hurt. The cause of the ex-
plosion was probably due to a burn
er being partly turned on, allowing
a little gas to accumulate In the
range.

Why We Are ~Rignt-Handed.

One OF the professors at a we'll
known agricultural college has figured
it out that If you are l~eft-handed 1t is
a. sign that your ancestors were not
good fighters.
Most persons are right-handed,"
says he. "Only one In every twenty
is left-handed. Why are people right
handed? They may have been born
that way, it is true; but why?
Away back in the beginning the
chief occupation Of man was fighting.
In battle he carried a shield in one
hand and a weapon in the other. 1t
was not much work to carry the shield.
but the quick action required by the
hand and arm which did the fighting
soon developed that arm. 1t also de-
veloped the nerves and the half Of the
brain that governed the right side Of
the body. Those who shielded their
left side-thus protecting the heart
we're the ones who usually came out
victorious. Down through the ages
this selection continued, the right
hand gradually becoming more prof.

~PfsfNf W w Az"
Keyport, Sept. 1.-THE regular
meeting of the borough council was
held in the borough hall Monday
evening. A resolution was adopted
putting the council on record as
being in favor of establishing a
county hospital for tubercular pa
TENTS.
James H. Bedle, of Broadway,
West Keyport, vas present and stat
ed that the explosion of the gas in
the sewer last spring had damaged
his connection with the sewer and
he thought that it was up to the
borough to pay for having the dam
age repaired to the sewer commit
tee with power to act.
Hendrick Polling complained of a
pole which had been erected on his
property in Chingaroa avenue, with
out his consent and he wanted it

thorities.

public works for adjusting.
Mr.. Bedle also asked If he should
continue in keeping the public foun-
tain going on Broad street, and re-
ported that K. NJ. Beers stated that
$50 was too much to charge for the
use of the town water for sprinkling
the streets.
The question of the fixing of
Broad street, which lately has been
in exceptionally bad condition. was
discussed at length. Rufus o. Wall
Ing suggested to get an appropria-
ton from the county to repair it, but
it should not be made a county road,
whereupon a general discussion per-
tanning to the advantages and disad-
vantages of the conditions in ques-
ton followed. A petition was then
presented to turn Broad street over
to the county, which was received
and ordered filed. A motion was
then made to appoint a committee to
confer with the county board in re-
gard to the Broad street question
through the borough attorney, H. E.
Ackerson, Jr.
DohN ~ nv NouhIJ " IhC gun
of $500 was executed, which was

replacing of the county roads
through the borough, where the lat
eral connections to the sewer sys-
TEN are made.
A petition with the necessary sig
natures for the laying of sidewalks
on Atlantic street, Church street and
Osborn street was received and read.
The borough sidewalk ordinance
which this will enforce, requires that
sidewalk of blue f%agstone or con-
crete must be laid on all the streets
named above. The petition was laid
over until September %, when a
public hearing on the petition will be
held. Notices of the ordinance and
the petition advertising the public
hearing have already been publish
ed.
Borough Clerk A. M. Walling was
instructed to advertise for bids for
the construction of sidewalks on
Broadway, where the property own
ers have not laid their walks under
the time limit as stated in the ordi-
nance. Bids will be received at the
next meeting.

PIGEONS MAKE
A LONG FLIGHT
Report Party See Birds
From Maryland City.

Keyport, Sept. 11.-An odd cir
rumstance, incidental to the charac-
:eristics of the carrier breed
OF the pigeons, was witnessed on the
bay on Sunday afternoon by a party
Of men, in which were several pig
con fanciers themselves and owners
OF the carrier pigeons, who were en-
joying the afternoon fishing. The
achievements Of these birds had been
the substance of most all the CONVEX
sation, when suddenly there appear
ed coming toward them from the
south a flock of the pigeons, fol-
lowed by others. In the first flock
were seven birds, in the second flock
were eleven birds and in the third
and last group were twenty-five.
The beauty of the instance of the
flying birds were that the particular
flight had been much discussed dur
ing the day, the birds had been start
ed from a city in Maryland and were
ell route for their home in Brooklyn,
knowing the time that they were to
start and noting the time when they
passed owe the party, and judging
the distance covered, 1t was ~calculat-
ed that they were making about
thirty miles an hour.
Shortly after the last flock passed
several of the pigeons were noticed
to alight on the long pier at Loril-
lard's, apparently looking for water,
before attempting the long fight
across the salt water to Brooklyn.
Aware Of the flyers predicament the
party went ashore to the pier and
putting fresh water in buckets gave
the birds n great treat of which
they partook of with great speed and
relish, after being thus refreshed,
they Immediately began their flight
to join their comrades and to COM
plete their journey.
The pigeon fanciers were highly
delighted at the opportunity of wit
Messing and getting tabs to the con-
ditions Of the birds at the stage of
the flight when they passed, and on
coming ashore the men stated that
an opportunity of being in the direct
line of a like flying would only hap
yen once in a life time.
