GASOLINE TURNS THE EARTH
Motorboats Are Replacing GondoIas In
Venice, and Even the WlndmiIls
in Holland Disappear.

Notorboats in Venice, replacing the
gondolas are not the only mechanical
proclamation that is coming in to disap-
point future American travellers In Eu-
rope. A letter from Amsterdam tells
us that the Dutch windmills are being
replaced by mills operated by steam
and electric power Every year some
of the old windmills are bu ned, and
they are not regretted. Time may
come when a few windmills will be
treasured as relics In Holland; just as
similar structures are still preserved
for their curious interest, says the
Boston Transcript. Already windmills
of American construction, with steel
fans arranged In wheels, instead of
the picturesque old wooden arms. had
begun to make their appearance, even
in Holland. The metallic windmill
with the revolving wheel, is more pic
turesque than the ordinary steam or
water power mill, but it is not so pic
turesque as the old wooden affairs.
On our WESTERN pTdlIlcS anu plolAc Nhc
tall windmills, with their big metal
wheels spinning high in the air, are
indeed a fine feature iE the monot-
onous landscape, but even they are In
danger of yielding to the process OF
pumping water by means of gasoline
motors The power Of the wind, to
be sure, costs nothing, while that OF
the gasoline motor may cost a good
deal, but there are times when no
wind blows, and the householder tires
of waiting for 1t to rise. Less and
less we are content to attend upon
forces of nature. The beautiful sails
are vanishing from the seas, to be re-
placed by belching smokestacks. on
land windmills give place to structures
operated by steam and electricity. The
stalwart oxen are no longer seen at
the farmers pillow; it is gasoline that
turns the earth now. Homeward the
uDweary motor banks its way

LAID BY FOR THE WINTER
Housewives Of Early New York Dis
satisfied With Less Than Six
Months Supply.

The eleventh hour, or, rather, six

in these days of frenzied house

madeap phenomenon to the good
housewives of old New York. They
would have felt i'll provided should
they have had less than six months
provisions in the larder.

tober and November to last until April
or May. They bought quarter of
beef, hog or a sheep TO furnish the
pieces de resistance of the winters
meals. The beef was earned or
smoked. The pork and mutton was
similarly cured and put away. The
smoking was done in public smoke
houses, maintained for profit.
A barrel of -four, TWO or three OF
apples and potatoes added the vege-
table content to the menus. Other
supplies to lend variety were laid by
in lesser quantities. All sorts of farm
products were purchasable in the fall
at minimum prices, because at that
time many sailing vessels and barges
came down the river from upstate
laden with stores. AS winter and the
closing of the river approached the
farmers and merchants grew anxious
to dispose of their stocks and the
townfolk consequently bought at an
advantage, which they were not slow
to take.-New York Evening Sun.

Muscle Not Properly Applied.

Every day evidence appears that
the American male is physically more
powerful than his ancestors. The bur-
glars who entered an apartment on
Central Park West carried of not
merely the little valuables, but also
safe weighing 400 pounds. Two
thieves who operated in a restaurant
In business hours abandoned the old
school method of snatching the money
from the till and took the cash regis
ter intact. Not a week passes but
some warehouse reports the theft of a
dozen barrels of whisky each of which
weighs at least $50 pounds. School
Fairgrounds, the baseball fields and
the gymnasiumS seem to have done
wonders for the biceps of our youth
In certain lines. But why is it, when
an effort is made TO divert some of
this magnificent strength TO common
place work, that an apparent disinte-
grafton Of muscle ensues New York

Bucks County and Nearby

At the carnival held recently by st.
Ignatius Church, Yardley, the receipts
were over $4,000, with over $4,000
clear.
Damage estimated at $4,000, was
caused by fire Thursday night to
barns owned by Frank Duckworth
and Ernest Schulwitz, on Bridge
street, Morrisville. A truck owned by
Carl Watson, lumberman, stored in
Duckworth's barn, which is used as a
garage, was slightly damaged. Other
machines were moved to safety. A
man who stored his automobile in
Duckworth's barn was working on the
machine, and it is believed that he
dropped a lighted cigarette, which
caused the blaze.

Aircraft Conditions.

Several American commissions have
recently made an investigation into
the aircraft conditions in different
parts of the world, and they agree that
this country has the opportunity to lead
the world In civilian aeronautical ac-
tivities and as a market for aircraft
in 1920. 1t was the Joint opinion of
these commissions that the United
States is ahead of all other countries
in number of planes actually ordered
and bought for civilian purposes, num-
Der of aerial transportation lines be-
ing organized, actual daily perform
ance of the aerial mail service, and
volume of mail carried, and possiblli-
ties for the use of aircraft for COM
mercial purposes, and that the fact
that the post office has proved that
military planes can be converted into
mail carriers makes possible the utili-
cation of service planes to meet the i'm
mediate demand which manufacturers
are unable to meet.

Express Meets With Accident.

The fast express train leaving
Trenton on the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad for Stroudsburg at 4.22
Monday afternoon met with two ac-
cidents between Titusville and Lam
bertville, either of which might have
precipitated it into the canal or river
and only the cool head of the en-
gineer, Peter Raub, of Stroudsburg,
and pure good luck saved the lives of
the several hundred passengers.
The train was driving along north
of Titusville at about sixty miles per
hour when the right hand driving
rod came loose, through the slipping
of wrist pin, and stones and cinders
flew into the canal as the huge piece
of steel thrashed around and smash
ed into the ground at every revolu-
ton of the driving wheels. Engineer
Raub pluckily stuck to his cab, which
was in instant danger of being re-
duced to twisted iron, and applying
the emergency brakes brought the
train to a standstill so quickly that
the passengers were "stood up" in
their seats.
Conductor Harry Schenck imme-
diately sent a fagman back and
another trainman to the tower near
Moore's station, and after the loco
motive was temporarily repaired, the
whole train was pushed toward Lam
bertville by the train following
leaving Trenton at 4.33. At the foot
of Goat Hill, mile south of Lam
bertville, the rod again came down
and ripped up the dirt and cinders,
but owing to the low speed the train
was quickly stopped.
1t was at this point that the only
accident to any of the passengers
happened, Thomas Hunt, an employee
of the Trenton shops, and passen-
ger on the train, broke his right leg
at the ankle while stepping from the
baggage car to he right of way to see
what had happened. He was given
temporary treatment at Lambertville
later land returned to St. Francis
hospital, 1-crton, on the 7.24 tra.r.
1t being impossible to proceed fur
ther with the disabled engine, with
only the locals light engine to push
the fourteen heavy cars of the train,
a freight locomotive was secured
from the Lambertville yards, and with
three locomotives the express arrived
into this city one and half hours
late, with the great majority of pass
engers thankful that they had es-
capped serious injury or possible
death by the merest good luck.
There was considerable criticism of
the evident defects in the locomotive,
and also in the delay in sending one
of the seven or eight engines in the
local yards here to the rescue, but
only commentator for Engineer
Raub and Conductor Schenck, who
kept cool heads and acquitted them
selves most creditably.

Minister Enters Assembly Race

Politics are livening up in Hunter
don County, several new aspirants
having thrown their hats in the ring
for the offices that are to be parceled
out by the voters next fall.
The Rev. DR.. A. Lincoln Moore, of
Hampton, and frequently occupying
the First Baptist pulpit of this city,
is announced as candidate for As
sembly on the Republican ticket, and
it is understood that David H. Agans,
of Three Bridges, who has served
three terms under the Democratic
banner, will possibly not be a can
didate again, so that the Republi-
cans are pinning considerable faith
in DR.. Moore's success.

&c. Gu, Win a eaapriven saw.

For the purpose of cutting ice ex-
peditiously during the last winter,
there was devised saw of an auto
mobile type power plant and circu-
lar saw at the end of an adjustable
arm, so that the saw can be raised
and lowered to the desired degree.
The saw is pushed along on steel run
ners, the operator behind furnishing
the motive power. A double lever
arrangement just over the handle
bars serves to control the raising and
lowering of the saw, The portable
saw in question cuts the ice into %
foot squares. These squares are
guided through the water TO gang of
four circular saws, which cut the
squares into the regulation sized
cakes.
