HIGHER TAX RATE
IN SOUTH ORANGE
Expenditures in the Village In
crease Faster Far Than
the RatabIes.

That the tax rate for South Orange
Village will take jump this year of
two points is figured by Trustee
Lawrence A. Norton, chairman of the
finance committee of the Village
Board of Trustees. Upon his recon-
mendation a tax budget amounting
to 99,931.30 was introduced at a
meeting of the governing body last
night. The rate last year was $1.96.
The new tax ordinance includes an
increase of 5000 over that raised
last year, when the total was $94,-
540.S0.
After the tax budget had passed
first reading, Mr.. Norton said that
the board would face considerable
difficulty in determining the lowest
possible amonnt that each depart
inent would need to carry on it's
work this year. The governing body,
he said, is met on all sides with de-
Inands for greater expenditures. Peo-
pie are asking, he asserted, for more
improvements, all Of which result in
an increase in expenditures.
Mr.. Norton said that the taxes are
increasing in South Orange from year
TO year much more rapidly than the
ratables. Therefore, he added, there
must be limit In view of these
facts, he said, the board had scaled
down the amounts asked for by the
various committees. The present
year. he said, would be one in which
the board would endeavor to reduce
the Indebtedness rather than increase
the amount now owed by the munich
pality.
The various items included in the
budget are:
Lighting streets, sl2,75o; roads,
S2250O; police, $4,000: interest on re-
demption of bonds, s22,351.S0; FIRE
$500; parks, $500; public buildings

service, $3.50; deficiency in personal
tax, $500; interest on temporary loan
bonds, $500; contingent excess, $500
Total, $99,931.30.
The amounts raised by taxation
last year were: Lighting streets, $751;

SEES Thief; But
WHAT CAN SHE Do!
Court Agrees With Miss Stokes
She Acted With Ladylike
Tact.

Edward Eichwald. of Bloomfield
is on trial in Quarter Sessions Court
before Judge william P. Martin on
an indictment. charging him with the
theft of watch, chain and iockeI. all
valued at $55. from Miss Grace Stokes.
of IS Prospect street. Bloomfield.
The alleged robbery took place on
Saturday. November 10. last. and. ac-
cording to the story told by Miss
Stokes on the witness stand today,
she was an eyewitness of the theft,
but she was not in position to pre-
vent it.
Why?
Well, if you must know, Miss Stokes
was taking bath at the time. and
before she could clothe herself and
get to the yard where the theft IS
alleged to have taken place the thief
had fed.
Miss Stokes testified that the
watch, chain and Iocket were in the
pocket Of a coat hanging on line
in the back yard for the purpose Of
being aired. (The coat, not the
Jewelry).
She said she saw Eichwald, whom
she had known for a couple Of
months. taking the watch, chain and
locket from the pocket Of the coat,
her attention having been called to
the fact that stranger was in the
yard by the barking Of the family
watch dog.
Eichwald's defense is that Miss
Stokes made a mistake in identify
ing him as the alleged robber, she
admitting on the stand today that
she only had view of part of the
face of the thief before he disap-
peared from her line of vision.
The case will go to the jury late
this afternoon.

rank dry grass on the edge of a wood

up with me.
But no. Before long 1 made q
startling recovery. Hardly realizing
for while where 1 was and what had
happened, l heard q little distance
away peculiar noise, as If someone
was sneezing violently. It was the
terrible tigress.
I rubbed my still somewhat dazed
eyes, and then discerned the great
oeast Sinking away, sneezing all the
time, and every now and again emit
ting a frightful roar.
Only when she had got clean out

upon me. The tigress. in shaking me
preparatory to finishing me on, had

Rat Proof Buildings.

The recent elemental catastro-
phes-the cyclones in the mid
die West. and the floods in that
vast region watered by the Ohio
have destroyed many hundreds
Of buildings. Here, out of mis-
fortune, much good should come.
A timely appeal for the rat-proof-
ing of dwellings, and other build
ings at present existing, under
construction or in contemplation,
comes from the United States
Public Health Service. Those
about to erect a new building or
repair an old one, whether of
frame, brick, rock, concrete or
other construction, may learn
from recent bulletin issued
from Washington what sanitary
and economic benefits are to be
derived from permanent rat
PROBING and measures to such
ends should be demanded by
prospective owners as apart of
building contracts. The rat is
far too prolific to be externi-
mated by such a gencies as
traps. poisons, gases, and the
like; these may reduce the
numbers of the rodents; but if
there is food within reach, the
surviving rats will have more to
eat proportionally, and procrea-
ton will be stimulated the more.
Rat determination can be effec-
tive only by cutting of the rats
food supply. The bulletin con-
tains all necessary information
to this end, so far as relates to
buildings. Those already erect
can be rat-proofed by the closure
of all natural or accidental
opening; by being remodeled
with material impervious to rats;
by the removal of structures
which will give refuge to rats,
and by the protection or removal
OF foods which rats will eat.

MADE AT HOME
SCIENTISTS TELL OF THE SEA
Some Facts Not Generally Known.
But of Interest to the Man
= Who Admires Nature.
AT HOME

Not only Is the sea the reservoir
into which all rivers run, but it is the
cistern that finally catches all the
rain that falls, not merely upon it's
own surface, but upon the surface of
the land and upon the roofs of our
houses. It has been calculated that
each year layer of the entire sea
fourteen feet thick is taken up into
the clouds. This vapor is fresh, and,
II all the water could be removed in
the same way, none of it being re-
turned there would, 1t is figured, be
left a layer of pure salt 230 feet high
on the bed of the Atlantic. These fig
ures are based upon the assumption
that three feet of water contain one
inch Of salt, and that the average
depth of the ocean is three miles.
At a depth of about $500 feet the
temperature is uniform, varying but
little between the poles and the
equator. The colder water is below.
In many deep bays the water begins
to freeze at the bottom before it does
at the surface
At that depth waves are not felt.
The force of waves is In proportion
to their height. 1t is said that the
sea strikes upon certain rocks with
the force Of seventeen tons for each
square yard.
The pressure of water increases
with the depth. One mile down this
pressure is reckoned at more than
ton to the square inch-in other
words, more than 1873 times the pres
sure of the atmosphere. The deDth of
the sea presents some interesting
considerations. If, it is claimed by
one authority, the Atlantic ocean
were lowered 1854 feet, it would be
reduced to half its present width If
1t were lowered a little more than
three miles the result would be dry
land all the way between Newfound-
land and Ireland. If the Mediter-
ranean were lowered $50 feet Africa
would be Joined to Italy, and three
separate seas would remain.
