New Case Of Cattle Disease.

The lifting of the state quarantine
for the foot and mouth disease on
the territory south of the New
Hope and Doylestown pike raises
some interesting questions. While
cattle could be shipped to or from
all the stations on the Northeast
Pennsylvania Railroad below New
Hope, the station here is located
north of the pike, or within the
quarantined zone. Whether it would
be so regarded is nice question
of location.
A new outbreak has appeared on
the farm of Frank Lake, between
Lahaska and Mechanicsville, a few
miles west Of this borough. How
the stock became infected is not
known, as none had been brought
on the place since the quarantine,
but it is suspected that dogs may
have been the medium of transfer.
All of the stock. eighteen head of
cattle and number of hogs, have
been condemned and viii be killed.
Deer are reported from a num-

A fawn was seen on the farm of
Harvey r. Smith, between this
place and PineviIle on Friday morn
ing, and it appeared to be hunting
food. When some men working
nearby approached, it sped away
toward the woods.

sewing machine and the Barnum & Bailey Circus was not to be hoored by a war. So it jumped, to the fore as the greatest little war purveyor in America.
 In the sudden development Q of the first big new enterprise to spring up was the Bridgeport Projectile Company, which, it's name implies will manufacture shell eases, and Which is now engaged in the erection of a huge plant. Then the Remington Company and the Union Metallic Cartridge, Company began to branch out and put up great buildings that dwarf those used in the past. This structural activity brought an army of outside iron workers, bricklayers, rraillwrights and carpenters to the scene employed by the New York contractors having the work in hand. All were union men, working for a contracting firm that employed no others, whereas Bridgeport IS ana al ways-has been an "opep shop" town. The visiting union men became in- volved in a jurisdictiona1 dispute over the question whether the Elillwr1gPts owed allegiance to the carpenters, or metal workers organization, and the strike scare was on-the hrst to aHecl the Bridgeport shops in l4 years.
 Away from the main streets, out where the big new shops are going up, Bridgeport has the aspect of an exposition Sity in the making. Houses and cottages are going up, in anticipa- ton of an influx of workmen, While tents and ,open-air restaurants and catch-penny open-air refFeshment booths cater to those already on the jobs All this is in strange contrast with quiet, conservative Bridgeport, whose workmen are quite as staid and kdignified normally as the New Eng land business man is pictured in the comic newspapers. They have good oteIs and restaurants, S1 churches that are IiberaIly attended, 218 social organizations, and ss clubs. They are the backbone of 14 banks. whose vaults hold $31.0e0,00O in savings de- posits The average savings deposit is $475-a matter of $5e above the average for New England as a, Wholei
 Thus it will be seen that, regardless of haw. war is affecting others, it is demonstrating itself good business Tor Bridgeport and Bridgeport people.

CONCRETE COUNTRY ROADS
Growth in Popularity Indicated b Rapid Increase in Mileage in
 Recent Years.

The mileage of concrete pavernents in the United States has increased rapidly and it is likely to continue to increase, according to a new bull letin of the United States Department of Agriculture. This bulletin gives the estimated amount Of concrete pave ment in the United States in 1914 as 1e,2OoAQGO square yards; in, 1909 it was only 364. .0o0 square yards.
 The principal advantages of con crete payements which have led to this increase in popularity are said to be:
 Durability under ordinary traffic conditions.
 A smooth, even surface offering little resistance.
 Absence of dust and ease with which it may be cleaned. Cornpar atively small cost of n1ainten- ance until renewals are necessary.
 Availability as a base for another type of surface if desirable.
 Attractive appearance.
 In commenting upon these adVant- ages, the bulletin states that the dur ability of concrete roads has not yet been proved by actual practice, be cause there are no very old pavements as yet in existence, but from the con- dition of those which have undergone several years service, it seems prob able that they will be found to wear wear well.
 The disadvantages of concrete as a road surface are:
 It's noise under horse traffic.
 The wearing of the necessary joints in pavement! and the tendency to crack, with it's consequent rapid de- terioratien.
 The difficulty of repairs when these become necessary. In the past efforts have frequently

IS SAVED BY WOODEN LEG
Bear, When Surprised, Claws Horse back Riders Artificial
 Limb.

Sudbury, Pa.-John Davidson, a Cat awissa mountain farmer, who lives near the town of that name, says he is glad he has a wooden leg. for it saved him serious hurts in battle with a bear.
 Davidson says he was riding horse back along the Susquehanna, which skirts dense mountain growths at that point. when he saw a black bear fis& ing in the river It would dive down and come up with a fish in it's mouth. fingered by hi5 approach bruia dropped a fish and gave chase, but Davidson drew his revolver and fired. He missed, and the animal came o;l after him and bit and clawed at his wooden leg.
 He fired again, and then a freigh. train approached on railroad neal by. This, together with the tootins of the locomotive whistle, frightened the beast and it dropped to it's feet and ambled off into the woods. The farmer exhibited torn pair of trous CTS and lacerated wooden leg to his friends as proof of the truth of his story

 Thus he had been directed the night before at the little inn where he was stopping, and that is why he was now in his dressing gown. pushing open the outhouse door. It was dark, but there was the tub. and it would do. He hopped ih. In the middle of his ablutions the red-faced landlord thrust his head in at the door. In the dim light he failed to see the man in the tub.
 Water quite nicely warm. thanks observed Smythe. but it's trifie muddy"
 Muddy he hanged!" roared the landlord, bursting in suddenly. Your tubs in the next place. Git out of you blitherin idiot! Not word of this in the 'ousef That's my ome- brewed ale you're a-washin' in"

 The postal employe did as he was bid, and in another moment there en- tered two men, both Latin in type, one of them being the little officer whom Hill had seen aboard the ship, and the other, larger man, who was the ves- sells captain. At sight of Rowe they bowed politely, courtesy that was. returned with all possible formality, and then, the four having drawn chairs up about the center table, the captain turned swarthy face upon. his host and put question.

A Byzantine Princess.

Tired and disturbed in heart and mind. Pedro crept wearily up the long flights of stairs to his apartment. and, as he paused upon the landing next to the top. the little clock on Cassies mantel-shelf rang four clear silvery notes into the dark silence of the musty stairway. With a sigh he com manded his stiffened muscles for a final effort, and mounted the last re- maining flight of creaking steps be- tween him and bed. An. grateful thought! It made him hurry, and caused him to glance eagerly toward his goal before the top step was fairly reached. There he paused in sur prise.
 A light was shining out from be- meath the door! Could there be a burglar in the room? It would scarce ly be a visitor, at such an hour, and in any event, how could guest have obtained admission? It was very pug

Shape of the Earth.

On the earth and on Mars the oceans dominate the austral hemisphere. This fact may be attributed to the transla- tion of these two planets in south north direction across the primitive nebula. The rotation so set up would result in the production of cold cur rents which might cause the tempera- ture to become inferior to 364 degrees, the critical temperature of water, and the currents would be such as to cause the condensation of the oceans to be produced round the south pole, and to, determine that the direction of the currents should be toward the equator. which explains the pointed form of the austral continents. The theoretical calculation of the velocities of these. currents and the amount of solid mat ter transported by them is verified by direct measurement. Thus, 2,000 meters beneath the surface of the sea the magnitude of the oceans Is con- stant on the parallels of the austal hemisphere, and the magnitude of the continents is constant on the parallels of the boreal hemisphere.-Scientific American.

 "I cannot tell you," said Pedro wear fly, land even if l did, you would be helpless to alter it."
 A sudden alarm blanched her face. You love another woman?" she whispered.
 T love no other woman," he told her.
 She drew a deep sigh of relief.
 "Ah! then 1t can be overcome!" she said. Tell me, what is it?"
 T cannot tell"
 You must!"
 T will not. 1t is my secret!"
 T will keep it!"

 This is unfair to mel" cried Iris. You torture me, and yet you give me no reason for doing so."
 Pedro drew long breath. If it was unfair to her, why then
 q will tell you" he said unhappily.
 The world was very still. At last he raised his head and looked at her with great, unhappy eyes that re- preached her for the tribute she ex- acted. Then his lips formed words that refused to make themselves heard. He ran his red tongue out to moisten them. Then he tried again. Tt is because l am not a man!" he articulated.
 Not a man!" she gasped. God in heaven, what do you mean?"
 That I am a girl" said Pedro, mis- erably.

HAS NOVEL USE FOR RUBBER
Italian Surgeon Has Brought About Perfect Fusion of That Sub-
 stance and Human Tissue

Rubber has many uses, even to re- pairing the human body externally.
 The great Italian surgeon Fiescht conceived the idea of using porous. rubber in the form of fine sponge, counting upon the affinity between it and human tissue to bring about g. perfect fusion.
 Doctor Ffeschi called this "nuova carne," or new flesh" He experi- mented with 1t upon animals before he tried it on his patients. He in- serted bits of sterilized rubber sponge in various parts of the bodies of dogs and rabbits and found that in a very short time they were not only en- veloped, but thoroughly penetrated by granular tissue without any in- fiammation, suppuration or other ill effects.
 Having thus proved its value, Doc tor Fieschi used the porous rubber in healing two large wounds resulting from the reduction of hernias. He. inserted it where it would be most efficacious in strengthening the mus cular walls that retain the internal organs. The wounds healed without complication.
 year after the operation an X-ray examination revealed the rubber still in place and apparently become an integral part of the tissues.

Life that is not madness, an ob. session, is mosaic made up of many parts. There's bit of the blue of true love, there's the white of an un- stained ideal, the rose color of fa- vorite pastime. In the normal life there is present the gray of duty. the sparse crimson of an occasional vivify- ing joy. and bit of gold. The bit of gold is relatively small part. If the mosaic were all gold 1t would not be work of art. but cubist painters por-- trayal of dollar madness. .-- -ExchanGa.,
