the dazzling flow of falling silver
fire lit up the scene with binding
brilliancy.
The last big event was the Vesu-
Wan eruption. Over sixty bombs were
set off at one time, or rather in
seriatim order, so that the effect was
of extraordinary beauty. No one
ever saw a finer display anywhere
than this good night Vesuvius. The
little ones showed their glee through
out the evening, autos sounded horns
of appreciation, and everybody went
home satisfied that not only was the
fireworks display simply gorgeous,
but the day all through had been
big success. There must have been
forty or fifty autos out at night,
The dance at the school house fol-
lowing the fireworks was the closing
event of a day full of action and
endowment. The band added very
greatly to the success of the day.
It had fifteen pieces, and rendered
constant supply of popular and pa
triotic airs, as we'll as many we'll
played classical selections. Not one
complaint was made at the band this
year. The dancing continued till
long after midnight,
Palisadian., 1915-07-10

By this time the crowd could not
be held in check, and there were loud
cries of "Play BALL" Mr.. Carson,
down for an Interpretation of the
Declaration, got to the stand, saw the
situation. looked at the audience, then
with one of his captivating, regular
minstrel smiles, said "This is too
much for mel Play bali"
Mr.. Hollinger, too, not on the pro
gram, but invited to make one of his
mirth- provoking short talks, also saw
the danger of saying anything, and
when he heard his name called, merely
arose and said, "Play ball!'
The ladies committee was just a bit
indignant at the interruption to then
carefully laid plans for an lndepend-
ence Day program, and protested at
the situation very justly, but finally
took it all in good grace. 1t was the
unnecessary remarks in the stand
that hurt most, and some of the
visiting guests of the occasion could
have deported themselves trifie less
busily to advantage.
The game of ball, reported else
where, resulted in favor OF Fort Lee,
and after the score of 8 to 3, the
victors marched home in triumph with
the large trophy in the arms of one
of the players seated astrlde the
hood of Arthur KerWein's automobile
They were given the courtesy of the
band to the car tracks at Abbott
boulevard, then went on marching
home several hundred strong to Fort
Lee out Anderson avenue. They had
great reception in Fort Lee, the
whole town turning out to welcome
the conquering heroes. Their captain
offered ten dollars for the courtesy
of the band all the way to Fort Lee
hut this was out of the question.
At night the festivities were con
tinued at the Fairgrounds where prob
ably 700 people saw really mag
nifcent display of fireworks prepared
bv an Italian firm in West New York
Everybody was pleased with the flre-
works and said SO. They were pleas
ing to everybody, and were worth go
ING miles to see. The set pieces were
! ali GOOD. the wheels and rising sprays
of fire, and not one failed to go of
in proper order. The big burning
flag, twenty feet by twelve, was a
beauty, and when its outlines were
apparent the band struck up the
Star Spangled Banner, which was
loudly applauded. The audience also
stood and sang the song, making the
effect very, very impressive as well
as imposing. This illuminated flag
was really one of the big hits of the
entire celebration and was picture
of rare excellence. The setting was
wonderful and could not have been
improved upon.
Next in Importance was the Niagara
Falls piece, one of the largest and
most beautiful set pieces ever seen
anywhere. 1t was 100 feet long, and

What Are snappina Turtles?

Nature and Science for Young Folks, an immensely popular depart ment in St. Nicholas, is just what its title indicates. In it are gathered many items of interest about the earth and it's inhabitants. as well as the inhabitants of water and air. The writer of a description of snapping turtles concludes with the following paragraph:
 Considered from a scientific stand point, the turtle is of some interest, for, although classed with the rep tiles, he has many of the attributes of other groups; thus he has shell like the mollusks, legs like the man. mals, lays eggs like the birds, can live In the water or on the land like cer- tain amphibians, and hibernates in the mud during the cold season as do many of the other cold-blooded crea- lures. The fact that his flesh is edi- ble, however, and that turtle soup is somewhat of delicacy, marks his chief claim to distinction with many of us."

Science and the Sailor.

Science has done little for the sailor. Vessels are faster, but no stouter than a century since. and water-tight com partments are confined, as a rule. to costly steamships. Iron vessels go down before the fury of the gale just as of yore. and the wooden craft are at the mercy of every storm. Then the crew take to the boats, perhaps too few in number and poorly provisloned, and drift for days and weeks, until they perish from hunger, thirst and ex- posture, or are cast away on dreary island. Castaways who suffer for months on uninhab bited islands are not so few in number as might be sup posed. The Crozet islands, in the In- dian ocean, almost within sight of antarctic ice, are famous as the home of shipwrecked crews. Many of these far southern islands are out of the track of ships, and castaways might live on them for years without being discovered.

SOME EXPLAINING IN ORDER
At That 1t Was Probably No Easy Task for the Young Men to
 Convince the Girls.

Two young men employed in Pitts field store were out calling one eve ming a short time ago. It occurred to them that even though it might be like carrying coals to Newcastle, it would be a happy idea to procure some candy for the charming trio of young ladies who were entertaining. Accordingly one of the young men wrote a note of instructions and sent 1t to the store where he is employed.
 There the man addressed started to do up the package, then paused and reflected What was the meaning of that cloud of indecision that fitted across his manly brow? An, we have it at last He was thinking a thought "a thought of how he could con- tribute to the happiness of those at the house whence the note had come.
 Sitting down he indited pleasing little ballad the motif of which was that he and his chum in the store were the ones who were donating the candy and not to take any stock in the fellows who were calling, and hint ing that these last were on the four flush order. One of the young women received the package from the man. ager, and, upon opening the sweets found the note. Her astonishment knew no bounds. The evening had worn away before the truth was forced home with conviction enough to in- sure its acceptance.-Berkshi Eve. ming Eagle.

GIVING THE STOMACH A REST
Temporary Starvation" Recommen nd ed for Those Who Find Themselves
 Prey to Indigestion.

Abstinence from food for short period is very excellent method of treatment for dyspepsia and kindred digestive disturbances. A raging sick headache disappears after giving the stomach rest-by emitting to eat only one or two meals. It is common knowledge that day or two of starv- ing every two or three months en- ables one to do better work-more mental and physical work can be ac- complished without fatigue. It is ad- visable, however, when on hunger strike, to drink water. Copious liba- tions of hot water-several quarts dur
 ing the weking hours-will contribute to the feeling of weIl-being. The wa ter may be taken tumblerful or more every hour or two. Those persons who eat at irregular hours and par take of foods poorly cooked or of such a composition as to cause indigestion will find the mild form of starving for 24 hours or longer a practice worthy of trial, for the resulting after effects of the experiment will be gratifying. The rest fwhen one is on hunger strike) given the digestive apparatus strengthens it and thus aids in con- serving the health. A general feeling of rejuvenation invariably follows few days fasting.
