teach, there would be ample leisure
to pursue her activities In ceramic

to leave the dreary old groove OF
life and attempt existence under a
new and more promising phase.

hopefully-"Arnold and /. There is

noted a calculating expression IN
HeIena's eye as she took in her en-
vironment.

as there a more helpful person in
the world than yourself? Think what
you can do for the children! No, no,
dear, when we first asked you to
come to us Arnold was wealthy. A
dishonest partner robbed him Of over
fifty thousand dollars. But when we
got your letter accepting our offer
Arnold was actually joyous. Don't
think of deserving US because We
are poor"
So Helena settled down into hel
new life. New delights came daily

working for others now, earned a yer,
liberal salary. Edith constantly de

Electric Restaurants.

A large mining company has in
stalled an electric restaurant $50
yards in from the foot of the shaft
in one of its mines Here food ia
cooked or heated electrically, and hot
coffee is prepared by the same means.
Since most of the important coal
mines already use electric power un"
derground for power purposes, there
should be little difficulty in establish
ing subterranean electric restaurants
In any of them.

In the Municipal Court

There was a busy session of the mu-
nicipal court Friday, the lid being pried
off with bang after several days of close
confinement. The first case was that of
three men who were arrested by CITY
Marshal Robinson on Western avenue on
the charge of ARRAY. Two Of them plead
ed guilty and were given a sentence of Is
days in Jail and to pay the costs, and
the jail sentence was suspended during
good behavior and upon payment of the
costs. They paid and were released. The
third man pleaded not guilty and after a
hearing in which it was developed that
he had simply tried to act as a peace
maker he was discharged. The next case
was that of a man who was arrested on
College avenue for exceeding the speed
limit in his automobile This arrest was
also made by City Marshal Robinson. The
man pleaded guilty and was fined $40 and
costs. which he paid. Another man was
before the court on the charge Of indie
cent exposure. He was found guilty and
was sentenced to 10 days in Jail and to
pay the costs. and the Jail sentence was
suspended on the payment of the costs
and his getting out of town. He paid.
When searched at the station he had with
him number of indecent photographs
and these were ordered destroyed.

Delaware Water Gap Cut by Natures
Whp Saw

Delaware Water Gap is a vertical
walled trench, 1900 feet deep, in the
narrow ridge of kittatinny Mountain
through which Delaware River flows
Did the river find this gateway ready
made through the mountain or did it
cut its way through the hard noun
tain lodges and if so, how could it
accomplish it's mighty task
BY the study of the geology of the
region the following history has been
worked out. After the rocks had been
formed, layer by layer, as sediments
in the sea they were folded and tipped
on end and worn down by natures
forces to a gentle surface across which
Delaware River flowed to the sea-
The top of Kittaninny Range was then
part of this surface and the adjacent
area that is now lowlands stood nearly
at the same level. Elevation Of the
land caused the Delaware and it's
tributaries to wear away the softer
rocks and leave the harder rocks
standing in relief as ridges. The hard
rocks that compose kittaninny Range
formed rapids in the Delaware where it
crossed them but the river gradually
cut this barrier away.
1t Is easy to believe that streams
can remove soft shale and limestone
in their course but it may seem at
first thought impossible that water
alone can cut away hard rock. The
water. however, IS only a medium. for
the cutting is done by the sand,
gravel. and powders carried by the
stream, just as emery fed to saw
cuts through the hardest rock or
steel. Large round holes that were
ground into hard rocks by the churn-
ing of pebbles at the bottom of small
falls have been left as "potholes" on
the sides of gorges as the evidence of
such stream cutting. So the Della
ware, concentrating its power on
small section of the hard rock of Kit
tatinny Range was able, during long
period. to cat the gap through the
rocky barrier.
The story is told more fully and in
plain language in the text printed on
the back Of the L. s. Geological Sur
vey's Delaware Water Gap map, which
is sold by the Survey for 10 cents

HOT WEATHER
MAKES STORIES

Stories Of the hot weather of Thursday
came in all day Friday and the high mark
was reported to have been recorded on
thermometer on store on Main street.
According to the truthful story teller this
thermometer is made to register 100 above
zero and the mercury went to the top
and staid there for couple of hours dur
ing the day. How much further it would
have gone if it could have he did not
venture an opinion. A number of other
reports of thermometers which had the
sun shining directly on them showed that
temperatures of 10 to lis were frequent.
one man reported that he had a Their
mometer which was equipped to register
10 and that it was destroyed by the heat
as the mercury swelled up so that the
glass container was broken. 1t was GER
tainly the hottest day ever in the city
and everyone is congratulating himself
that there were no serious cases of heat
prostration.

Petroleum as Locomotive Fuel.

Figures Just made public by the
United States Geological Survey dis
close a marked increase in the use of
petroleum as a locomotive fuel by the
railroads Of the United States In 1915.
The data at hand show that the quaint
ity Of oil fuel so consumed last year
was 36,64s,466 barrels. an increase OF
5.555.220 barrels or IS per cent over
the similar consumption in 1914. This
increase is ascribed to the relatively
low prices prevailing for fuel grades Of
oil during the last year and half as a
result Of the increased production of
low grade crude in the Gulf Coast
States and in Mexico and OF the aug
mented output of suitable residuals
from ref1neries operating In ever-i in
creasing number in Oklahoma and
Kansas.
The total distance covered by oil
burning locomotives in 1915 was 1874
2o5.520 miles and the acreage distance
covered per barrel of oil fuel consumed
was 339 miles. Oil fuel is now used
to some extent on 40 railroads In the

Potash Extracted From Wyoming
Lava

1t has been known for a number of
years that a lava in the Leuc1te Hills.
SWeetWater county, Wyo., is COM
posed largely of lecuite, mineral rich
in potash. This lava called wyomin-
Cite is there very abundant and the
total quantity of potash it contains is
immense estimated at 200,oOO,0OO tons
Like the gold in sea water, however, it
has not yet been proftably extracted
In series of experimental studies of
the reactions of various salts on
Wyomingite under certain conditions,
Roger c. Wells of the chemical labor
atory Of the United States Geological
Survey has obtained interesting re-
suits as to the extraction OF potash
from Wyomingite, which are published

Augusta Cadets young Metcalf played
prominent part, being first a cor
poral, and then a sergeant. He passed
The examination successfully for
Lieutenant in that unit, but declined
his commission. In 1898 when a prize
drill was held at the Ancient Order Of
United Workmen's Fair at the City
hall. it was Corporal Metcalf's squad
which received the medal for being
the best drilled in the organization.
Charles White of Haverhill, Mass,
formerly of this city was drill-master
of the cadets, and it was under his
thorough tutelage that Lieut.. Metcalf
gained much of his knowledge Of
military affairs. Mr.. Metcalf attend
ed the public schools in Augusta, and
was graduated from Cony High in
1905. During his High school days
he was prominent as an athlete in
track sports, football and baseball.
Following his graduation from Cony
he entered the University OF Maine for
