WHITE COAL" SOURCE
Of electric POWER
Term Applied to Waterfalls Of
Venezuela Which Aid the
Industries.

White coal is the term now quite gen
orally applied to the sources of supply
of electric power. The significance OF
the idea is plainly evident when it is
considered that in nature fall of water
can be in most cases utilized for the pro-
duction of electricity.
An estimate has recently been COM
pleted of the amount of electric energy
Immediately available in the neighbor-
hood of Caracas. Venezuela. and state
ment regarding it has Just been sent to
the Pan-Amercan Union. the director
general of which furnishes the following
resume:
Caracas consumes at the present mo-
ment on the average OF 1909 horse
power Of electricity during the day, ana
2.Go horsepower during the night. There
is in reserve about double this quantity.
so mat Caracas can count upon 4,Uo
horsepower as already available. But,
according to the estimate above mention
ed this is by no means the limit OF
electric power within easy reach of the

A Bath q Month.

Apparently the people Of Persia are
not great believers in the old maxim
Cleanliness is next to gOdliness," for
baths are only taken once month by
the people, when they go to the public
baths and make amends, so to speak,
for the infrequency of their ablutions
by spending whole day getting clean
ed and trimmed At the baths they
are washed. shaved, dye their hair and
sails, get shampOoed and spend the
rest of the day eating buns and drink
ing sherbet., There are fixed days for
men and women. and on bath days a
N1an goes about the streets shouting,
-~'Hamum!" eBath day!'l. After the
hath the ladies have their hair plated
An number of thin plaits, which are
not opened and combed out until the
next bath day comes around.

Smoky Cities Also Fossy.

The relation between smoke and fog
is ably set forth in a bulletin issued by
the Mellon Institute of Industrial Re-
search, University of Pittsburgh, and
written by DR.. Herbert 81. Kimball,
professor Of meteorolegy, United States
weather bureau. He sums up the mat
ter by saying:
''City fogs are more persistent than
country fogs. principally because OF
their increased density due to the
smoke that accumulates in them.
"In consequence of the above there
are fewer hours of sunshine in the
cities than in the surrounding country.
:'The sunshine is less intense in the
city than in the country, the light OF
short wave lengths, or the blue light,
suffering the greater depletion"

Forces That May Be Utilized When
Our Coal Is All Gone.


Our Coal Is All Gone.
The following figures may prove OF
interest to those fearing the exhaus-
ton Of the worlds coal supply, says
the American Machinist. In a sum-
mary Of the water power OF the world
the possible horsepower Of France is
estimated at 100000, OF which only
100000 is utilized. About an equal
amount Of power is available in Italy,
but only 10000 horsepower is utilized.
Falls Of 10000 horsepower are album
dant in the Alps.
The estimate in Switzerland is in
complete. but about SOC, 1000 horsepower
is in use. Germany has 100000 horse
power available, with 100000 applied.
Norway has 100000 horsepower avail
able, with large part already devel-
oped. In Sweden there is 763, 900 horse
power available.
The resources of Russia are estimat-
ed at 100000 horsepower, Of which
only $1,000 has been developed. The
United States Is credited with I, 5O0,O0O
horsepower, while Japan has 1 600 900,
Of which 10000 has been exploited. In

ALGERIANS. ARE LIARS.
They May Tell the Truth at Times, but
You Are Never Sure.

The chief fault of the native Alge
rians seems to be a certain prediction
for lying. 1t appears to be an 1nStinc-
tive desire to deceive, not SO much for
the sake of profit as for the sake of de-
ception. Albert Edwards, in 1.-The Bar

French host why one Of his workmen
wore green braid on his turbans, since
in Persia only those who have made
the pilgrimage to Mecca are thus at

"He says No." NJ. Gardet translated

lie you could understand them. But
sometimes they tell the truth. Perhaps
he hasn't been there. If ! should ask
six Of my wOrkmen about it three
would say that Mohammed had been
to Mecca, three would say ne hadn't"

LOSSES GREATER THAN OUR CIvIL WAR

II figures can be trusted, the losses by death in
France and Belgium alone since the present great war
began less than four months ago. exceed the total loss
of the Union troops during the entire period of four
years of our Civil War This total about $4,000,
and this includes 199,720 men who died from disease
This is in only of the theatres of war. In
the east of Europe armies numbered by the millions
are engaged daily in struggles along line of battle
extending about two hundred miles long. Enormous
masses of men are hurled upon each other. On the
Danube a sangulnary has been carried on for
months between Austria and Servia and made its toll
of many thousands of dead
The official figures make no account of deaths from
disease and the experience of every war except per
haps that Of Japan in the Russo-Japanese war
showed that the deaths from disease outnumbered
the killed and the deaths from wounds. In our Civil
War disease took on two for every that was killed
or died OF wounds The death record of the present
war will be the most appalling in ali the history of
warfare

NORTH JERSEY AND RATE INCREASE.

If, as is expected, the railroad companies operat-
ing this the intention to make increases
in their fares in North Jersey similar to those which
have been announced for South Jersey and which are
now temporarily held up by the State Utilities Com
mission it is time for the municipalities that will be
affected by this to sit up and take notice
The rates now paid railroads between New
York and points In New Jersey considerable In
crease from the fares paid few years ago. That in
crease caused wide commotion and met with organ
lied resistance II did injury to the growth of our
many suburban places Another increase is likely to
have the most serious effect upon all suburban prop
erty by compelling people to seek homes elsewhere
by deterrng thousands of others from taking up
homes in the State
It is obvious that the railroad companies act in
concert 1t is also evident that the policy is to first
fasten the increase in South Jersey before moving
upon the north. When the former increase was made
North Jersey was the first selected victim. South
Jersey took its turn later.

A Straw Storm

Many merchants who could not see
any reason for it were directly eff
fected by the quarantine, resulting
from the spread of the hoof and mouth
disease among cattle. Dr. Alfred r..
Martins, head of the Bureau OF Ami
NAL Industry here, was a busy per-
son explaining the government reg
ulations TO the irritated merchants.
Numerous manufacturers use either
hay or straw, or both, In packing their
wares for shipment. Hay and straw
were among the articles included in
the quarantine by the government to
check the spread of the cattle disease
AT large Perth Amboy plant,
where terra Gotta is manufactured,
large quantities of straw are used for
packing the finished material a car
load of goods prepared for shipment
We're ordered held up. by the govern
ment inspectors. One of the heads Of
the concern caught the next train to
Newark and demanded an explana-
tion from DR.. Martins.
What does your inspector mean by
holding up our goods?" demanded the
merchant. What the deuce have we
got to do with the blame cattle
disease?"
1t was some time before the gov
ernment official was able to explain
that hay and straw We're considered
dangerous carriers of the cattle
disease. The veterinary expert
showed the merchant that almost
countess disease germs could locate
IN the straw. When the Perth Am
boy man learned that his goods could
be shipped after harmless disinfect-
ing gas had been applied to the straw
he became reconciled and comm ended
the inspectors for their vigilance.

Two Men from Tunkhannock

Meetings of persons from the same
place at home,' whether or not they
knew each other in the home town,
globe, are invariably replete with In
terest. A program of Misunderstanding,
an exchange of the cup that cheers,
CONGRATULATIONS or condolences Is al
ways carried out. That's the gen.
eral idea, but when two persons from
ITunkhannock, Pennsylvania-Tunk
hammock, mind you-meet, and in
Newark, interest becomes intensified,
and why not1
Tunkhannock is a diminutiVe jerk
water hamlet in the recesses Of the
widest section of the mining regions,
q place where a locomotive stops oc-
casionally to take on water, and
where the natives are content with
their lot and willing to live and die
in obscurity.
Now and then, however ambition
springs humping hard In the breasts
of some Tunkhannockanians and
they make a break for the outer
world in quest Of fame and fortune.
Two, who later became noted, one as
an erudite and skillful printer and
thought genius; the other as the af-
fluent proprietor of q chain or
theatres, shook the coal dust of
Tunkhannock from their brogans
years ago. They had never known
each other in the home town, small
in area as it was and is.
A few evenings ago Frank 5.
Edick, the head compositor in the ad
setting department of the Morning
Star, strayed into Keeney's Theatre
to see the show. Appearing on the
stage at the time in response to a
call from the audience was Frank
A Keeney, the house proprietor.
Mr.. Keeney referred to Tunk-
hammock as his birthplace. Edick
pricked up his ears and remarked
to ]. B. McNally, resident manager
of the theatre, that he, too (meanins
HIMSELF, was a native of Tunk-
hammock.
The alert manager said nothing
then, but lost no time in telling Mr.
Keeney that genuine specimen of the
native Tunkhannockonian, was in
til building. Mr.. Keeney sought out
Mr.. Edick. They didn't fall on each
others necks and weep. They just
laughed and smiled and rejoiced and
jubilated. Mr.. Ediek was given
the freedom of the house for life.
They were indeed two happy souls,
were the rich theatre man and the
erudite printer. "reminiscences OF
Tunkhannock came quick and often
and then congratulations, each con-
graduating himself and the other
that they had left the Pennsylvania
mining camp behind to meet as they
did under better conditions In the
beautiful city of Newark, New Jer-
sey Mr.. Keeney instructed his gem
eral manager, Ray Owens, to sign
Mr.. Edick up for a star part as
lecturer on Tunkhannock on his own
terms Mr.. Edick is said to be con-
sidering the offer and may accept If
it won't interfere with his job on the
Morning Star.
