Rex Beach and "Dave" King,
MOrristOwn's New Editors,
We're ''Pardners" in Alaska
Especial to the Evening star.I

MORRISTOWN, March 16.-"Pard-
ners' since way back in the days of
the Klondykes, Rex Beach, author of
best sellers, and Dave" w. King are
going to continue their friendship in
the editorial sanctum of the Morris
County Press, a local weekly newspa-
per which they recently purchased.
King, who is to be the fireworks" of
the concern, has already stirred up
this place with an editorial in which
he attacked the statement of Rev.
Charles Stelzle, who recently publicly
declared that the death rate In Nor
ristown is so per cent. higher than in
New York.
Beach wrote his first play in part
nership with King when both were in
Nome, Alaska. All their dreams of
wealth had vanished together with
their supply of funds, and they Sim
ply had to get money or starve." So
they put their heads together and
wrote THE Visitor from Bedrock"
The two pals received $50 for intro
ducing the "Visitor" at the Nome The
atre. The performance was delayed
until the leading man, who was a
prize fighter, was through being
clicked" by another scrapper.
Beach and King intend to turn the
Morris County Press into a daily pa
per as soon as possible.

GREATEST INVENTIONS.

The first of three prizes offered by
the Scientific American for essays on
the ten greatest inventions of the last
twenty-five years went to q Wash
ington man, who made this list
The electric furnace.
The steam turbine.
The gasoline automobile.
Moving pictures.
The aeroplane.
Wireless telegraphy.
The induction coil.
The linotype.
Electric welding.
The cyanide process of gold extrac-
ton.
None of these inventions has had so
profound an influence on the world
as had the locomotive, the telegraph
or the dynamo, of earlier invention
But it is significant that the newer
inventions have profoundly modified,
or intesified, the influence of the great
inventions preceding them. The auto
mobile has, in no small degree, proved
a competitor of the. locomotive, and
there is promise that the aeroplane
will also prove one. In wireless te-
legraphy is the threat OF displacement
of telegraphy by wire. The dynamo,
instead of losing. ground. has gained
1t, the invention of the electric fur
mace and of electric welding helping
tremendously.
It was Sir Isaac Newton, we think,
who said that the scientist was only
gathering pebbles on the shore of a
sea of limitless possibilities. The in
ventor of mechanical and electrical
devices probably Is but gathering
pebbles. The sea beside him contains
that which may provide the world
with one civilization after another,
each more wonderful and glorious
than the one preceding it.-Toledo

SKATING ON SALT.

Nature has been conquered once
more. Men can skate, not on ice, but
on salt. A salt-skating rink, con-
structed by the patented process of
DR.. Ed Arnold, was recently exhibit
ed and operated in Berlin. All
skaters will welcome the invention of
a method of producing, by purely
chemical means and without the en-
ployment of a costly refrigerating
process saline crystalline mass which
exhibits all the characteristic proper
ties of ice The surface of the mass
can scarcely be distinguished from a
surface of natural or artificial ice,
and the resemblance is increased by
the fact that the shavings produced
by the skates have all the appear
ance Of notwithstanding American.

1t cost William Meyers, of River
road, $500 to be poetic a few days
ago. when sweet-faced little miss
living in his neighborhood came to
him as he was about to cut down a
large elm in his yard and pleaded
with him to let it stand The words
of "Woodman, Spare That Tree"
flashed through Meyers's mind, and
he threw his axe aside and assured
his visitor that the tree thenceforth
would be regarded as a sacred thing.
Saturday night Mr.. Meyers was
aroused by a report like that of a
12-inch gun, and then something
struck the house and shook 1t from
end to end Going out to investigate,
he found that the tree he had spared
had fallen against the house, ripping
ont a bay window on the first floor.
1t will cost 500 to repair the dam

SAP IS RUNNING.

A little dispatch in the newspapers,
which was probably unnoticed by per-
sons who know nothing of country life
except the glimpses they get of it in o
summer vacation, sent thrills through
the system of every person who had
had the inestimable advantage of be-
ing brought up in the country
FARMERS owning sugar bushes on the
south side of hills in Berkshire County
(Massachusetts) began tapping the
maple trees, today, and the first run
of sap was reported to be unusually
heavy One of the best maple sugar
seasons in years is expected"
All, back to the farmi Who that
was ever reared on a farm can escape
nostalgia of the most acute sort
when he hears that sap is running?
Just think of the old sugar bush and
its joys! 1t is still cold, and there
is plenty of snow on the ground, but
the trees and the birds know that
spring is at hand Everythine
freezes at night and thaws at noon,
and the effect of that oscillation Of
temperatures is to make the sap run
Pa goes out with his augur and
bores holes in the sugar naples The
boys go along after him and drive
wooden spouts into the holes and
hang pals on the spouts. And by
and by they go around again and find
the sweet juice in the pals, and they
drink some of it-of course, just
mere taste to see how the sap this
year compares with that of last year
1t is nectar, isn't 1t?
And when a lot of this sap is col
lected the great kettle is filled with
1t and a fire lighted under it and the
water begins to go off, but the sweet
ness stays there. And when it is
pretty thick the boys gather up snow
on maple chips and pour some of the
hot syrup on the snow and it is
converted into wax" Has any city
confectioner ever concocted anything
half so delicious as that wax ?'--
