Pennsylvania Railroad.

Gross revenues of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for November show
a slight falling off from those of Octo-
ber, but an increase of $22,370.S17 from
those of November, 1919. That large
increase Is due, of course, to the btu
minous coal strike of last year, which
materially cut down coal shipments. The
November gross was S5S.108,S17,
against S60.603.431 in October. The net
operating income was $4.711, 760. in

SUPERIOR COURT.

Frank Snyder of Mansfield, who was
 found guilty of the charge of black
 mail and obtaining money under false
 pretenses last week Wednesday, on
 Thursday was given his sentence. Judge Marvin imposed a sentence Of six months in jail on the third count which was that of blackmail and three months on the fourth count which was that of obtaining money under false pretenses. Snyder was charged with blackmailing Charles J. Farrell, who was also blackmailed by Samuel R. Gitlen. Gitlen was sent to jail for year at the opening of this term. Snyder was taken to jail by Sheriff Fred o. Vinton. He has young wife and three small children, the youngest of which is only a few months old.
 At the completion of the criminal session Thursday morning, civil case was heard being that of Israel Bernstein of Columbia against Henry LavOie. The contest was over the cutting of woodland on the Bernstein farm. It was brought out in court that last fall LavOie wanted to pur- chase the Bernstein farm in Columbia, but did not have sufficient funds. The price was to be $4.5OO and LavOie had $25O which he filed as bond to guarantee the sale. He took imme- diate possession and began cutting trees. Bernstein objected and an agreement was reached whereby La veiO could cut cord wood as soon as $1 1000 had been paid on the property and at the same time pay Bernstein $3 a cord on each cord cut. Bernstein testified in court that LavOie began cutting wood and instead Of cord wood he cut 223 poles which were to be sold as telegraph poles and sixty ties. Bernstein also testified that he only received $3 a cord for 50 cords. The plaintiff secured an injunction to stop Lavoie from cutting more wood The case was argued at length and various witnesses heard. The lawyers agreed to file briefs and Judge Mar win withheld decision.

SCIENTIST HAD LITTLE JOKE
Pleasantly That Was kesnIy Enjoyed by Everybody Except Possibly the
 Terror Stricken Victim.

When Prof. Joseph Le COnte was taking a scientific excursion with Agas- sig he ventured on little pleasantly, to beguile the time. They had gone by sailing vessel to the MnrqueSas, and thence into the Dry TOrtugaS.
 The day after their arrival Professor Le COnte was sent to examine little island, about ten miles away, and hay ing done it. he remained there be calmed all the next day. The water was about twenty feet deep, a splen- did place for a dive.
 Le COnte stripped and plunged over board, and amused himself by pluck ing spOnges and cOralS from the bot tom. While he was thus engaged, an Old-time naturalist who had joined the party, something to Agassiz' disgust. came padding round the ship in a little boat.
 Le COnte, to the delight of the sail Ors looking on, took hold of the keel. lay on his back with his legs under the boat and his head hidden by the stern and begaN to swim backward.
 The. boat mysteriously moved the wrong way, and the harder the old gentleman padded the more it re- sisted him., Still it moved backward.
 He was alarmed Some deviltish was evidently running away with him. He peered over the gunwale, but saw nOth- ing. Now he padded franIically, his strength increased hy terror; but still the boat slipped back. Finally the onlooking sailors laughed so hard that the joke could be carried on no long CT, and Le COnte. fearful of an aVeng ing paddle over his head. ~sWam swift ly away.

Forests in Bohemia.

In the Bohemia lands Bohemia, MOravia and Silesia) the needle for ests predOminate. The pines and frs cover 78 per cent of the forest area, the leaf timber 9.1 per cent, and the mixed about 12.9 per cent. In SlOva- kia and Carpathian Russia, the new territories, it is noteworthy that the leaf forests prevail, forming about 67 per cent of the whole, and the needle forests make up the balance, or 33 percent. Ownership of these forests is singular. The state owns about r. 100000 acres, charitable institutions own 6OO,OOO acres, municipalities hold 2,5OO,OOO acres and the large estates, held by private owners, cover 8,OOO,- 900 acres. It must not be taken for granted that the extensive CZechOslO- yak forests were given over to the use of the whole people. On the con- trary, all the benefits to be derived enured to the foreign nobility and the wealthy owners, when the mere walk ing through one of these private for ests was presumptive evidence of a wrongful intent. Of the vast estates held by individuals about 64.35 per cent of the whole in Bohemia were owned in parcels larger than 1,25O acres in extent, while minor holdings, those less than 1,250 acres in area. were held by the poorer classes.

The Secret Society in China.

The secret society is one of the wicked institutions of China. These evil organizations flourish especially in kanSu province, in the far west. Their power is tremendous. The KOla0pui are so strong as to be almost beyond the reach of the law. They borrow an- imals from the farmers and omit to re turn them.
 One man who had the temerity to try to recover his horse was visited at night by batch of members. who put lime into his eyes and cut out his tongue. Completely blinded and un- able to talk, the man recovered and in- vOked the law. The society bribed the magistrate and justice was not forth coming; but in retaliation the nl:sn' $ son was killed and his body mutilat eh. The blind father thereupOn took the l. days journey to the provincial capital, led by little son Uf ten, and when last heard of was seeking redress from the higher authorities. There is little law for the poor in the country, though they are not without their own meth OdS of justice when reused to the breaking point.

CAN LIVE CHEAPLY, IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for Serv- ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
 While Considering.

Labor and living are cheap in Haiti.
 There is a hotel in Port au Prince, rated as the best, that charges only $4 a day for room and three square meals.
 True, the rooms are small, with the ancient WaShbOWl, and unbeatable, with concrete floors and rugless, but they are clean and comfortable.
 The same meals could not be Ob- tained anywhere in the United States at double the price. Luncheon is d an eight-cOurse feast
 They never serve less than two or three meats, when one. according to the American habit. would be enough. There is fruit in abundance in Haiti, and boy standing on the front porch, overlooking the sea, often picks the breakfast oranges.
 The favOrite dish is the chicken, served 365 days in the year without the least variation. Nobody ever wants to see chicken after staying three weeks in Haiti.
 A Haitian boy. waiting faithfully OH a guest for 21 meals, beams his delight when tipped :: HOurtles, which iS 60 cents. 1hp lnait whose chief duty is to spread tl:e mosquito net. almost drops to her knees for !hc same fee weekly. The boy who fetchrs the water and fixes the shoes gladly slips man extra towels for ; g0urdes a week.
 Laundry at AmerlcaD rates would cost more than room and board in Haiti, if there were laundries. There is much to go out from each room daily to washerwOmen, and it comes back spick and span at nominal cost.
 But Haiti has not reached the point where it may bid for tourist travel. A man, stopping at the best hotel here for the first time feels rather foolish when he asks for room and bath and is conducted to little house 50 feet away, where he may get shower. It's a hard life for women.
 The best, however, is in sharp con- trast with the worst, for the laborer gets 20 cents a day, and thousands of natives live only on fruit that grows wild everywhere, the year round, like the roses.

White Fathers Acouisition.

The ground upon which stands the ruins of the celebrated amphttteater of Carthage has been acquired by pur- chase by the White Fathers, Roman Catholic missionary society resident in Algiers. Saints Perpetia and Felicite met martyrdOm in this area, and as the order of the White Fathers is based, largely, on the works and death of these two saints, their acquisition of the historical site Is doubly interest ing.
 The purchase was celebrated di- rectly after the deal was closed by a solemn high mass, sung in a subter- ranean vault found among the ruins. Into this, victims, particularly the early Christians, were undoubtedly held while awaiting death in pillars of fire or at the jaws of famished wild beasts above them when Carthage had a holiday.

The Safety Of Flying.

It sounds paradOxical to say that the airplane smash at Golders Green brought home to the public the safety of flying, but 1t is true.
