quired on all accidents occurring to-
day and thereafter.

cidents and means of prevention which

Clark's Ferry Bridge
Auction Next April

Clark's Ferry bridge, probably the
longest wooden viaduct in the world
to-day, historic for it's associations
with the now abandoned Pennsylvania
canal, will so under the auctioneer's
hammer to the highest bidder at a
public sale to be held in Philadelphia
at noon April Z.
The bridge is 2,OSS feet long and
was formerly used as a passageway
for the mules that towed the canal
boats across the river. For the last
fifty years or more the covered por-
ton had been travelled by pedestrians
and teams and in the last decade il
has borne hundreds of automobiles. as
it is the only driving bridge across the
Susquehanna between Harrisburg and
Sunbury.
The sale will be held by the Penn.
sylvania Railroad, which acquired title
to the property some years ago. Prac-
tically the entire length of the canal
has been abandoned.

The Lure of immortality

In passing the fact should be re-
called that the reason the Jews fell
back so easily into idolatry was be-
cause of the appeal which the prac-
tices associated with idolatry have
always made to the senses. The Bible
speaks in general terms of the i'm
morality associated with idol wor-
ship. Those of us who have travelled
in idol worshiping lands know that
this characteristic still persists I'm
bridled license to indulge all imagin-
able and unimaginable sensual ex-
cesses is literally part of the idolatry
of the whole world.
The monotheism laid down by Abra,-
ham and Moses required a strict moral
life: and every generation that has
ever lived has found it a strain 10
adhere to a high code of morality.
Especially great was the temptation to
abandon this in the case of the Chill
dren of Israel. because on every hand
were seductive lures of fashionable
idolatrous immortality.

but there seemed to be little staying
power in the mass of the people them
selves.
This is called the Book OF the
Judges. but that word Judges" does
not mean administrators of the law
The judges were the deliverers, the
defenders. the champions, the rules
the heroes. There was little of the
judicial quality; for instance, in sam
son. yet he was one of the judges
! These rugged pioneers were history
making men.
The time they covered between the
death of Joshua and the crowning OF
| Saul is still a question of discussion
| among scholars. for 1t is not easy to
| tell how many of the events described
| were simultaneously and how many
| were successive. The period of time
| is given as from one hundred and fifty
| to three hundred years by various
authorities.
| This old Book, concerning whose
writer or compiler we know nothing.
links up vividly to the present day
] because of the war in the near East.
! Familiarity with the Book of the
Judges gives better understanding OF
the present conflict along the eastern
coast of the Mediterranean than the
cablegrams in the daily newspapers.
Here we find Jerusalem and Hebron
and GAIA emerging in history. The
new battles that impend are compre-
hensible in the light of these old con-
lets. The student of the Bible In these
days has a great advantage over his
unversed neighbor when the talk turns
to the most romantic phase of the
present war.
| Wanted-A Man
Because it is so crowded with tales
of personality, the Book of Judges is
one of the worlds storehouses of ro-
nance. Here are dramatic episodes
heaped up with lavish hand-stories,
alas. they are mostly unfamiliar to the
| average company. Every one of them
breaches the old, old homily of every
days need of q strong man. They hold
aloft the banner, "Wanted-A Man."
In the coming years lessons from
the formative history of the ancient
people who are newly attracting the
worlds attention. followers of the In
| ternational series should find great
messages for present-day living, both
as individuals and as a nation.

NEW CURE FOR RHEUMATISM
Woman Who Had Suffered for Many
Years Is Cured by Bolt Of
Lightning.

The medical faculty was put to
shame by a bolt Of lightning which
the other night struck the farmhouse
OF Charles A. Burdick. on Washing
ton Ridge, says the Berlin Comm
correspondent OF the New York Her
ald.- The electric bolt destroyed arti-
cles in all the eight rooms of the
house and did damage exceeding ST.
900. but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheu-
matism, from which she had suffered
for many years.
Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood
in the kitchen stove when the bolt
struck her. knocking her down and
rendering her unconscious. One of
her feet was on zinc beneath the
stove. The lightning took nail out
of the sole of her shoes and her foot
was severely burned. DR.. Thomas
Mulligan Of New Britain soon revived
her.
Today Mrs. Burdick although suf-
fering from the burns on her foot.
was free from rheumatic pains. She
does not think the price her husband
must pay in repairs to the house too
high but Mr.. Burdick is discreetly ST.

Two Birds Indicted.

The complaints against the robin
have dwelt on his fondness for
cherries, strawberries. blackberries,
raspberries. pears. peaches, prunes,
grapes and even olives in California.
The bluebirds' consumption of culti-
waited fruits seems more limited, being
practically confined to cherries, rasp-
berries and blackberries. and its fruit
eating period is very short, being only
from late fall to early spring when
the insects which it prefers are scarce.

increase from Colorado points which
will total from $S,0O0,0O0 to 100000

to the mark it has made for the last
three or four months.
I'VE run about 100000 a year in
gold and silver from points outside
Colorado and about the same amount
from points within Colorado" declared
the superintendent. During the last
three or four months there has been a
remarkable increase, running between
twenty and twenty-five per cent in
both volume and the number of places
shipping to us. That is, both as to the
total and as to the different properties
which must be working. else they
would not be making shipments. This
is not a theory or a prediction; it is
a fact shown by gold and silver de-
