The annual tournament was held
Saturday at Tilghinanton, Md., nine
miles north of Shephcrdstown, a large
crowd being on hand to witness thc
events. Thc weather being clear, theyI
meet was one of the most successful
in years. A band and several speeches
added to thc enjoyment of thc occasion
More than 3,000 people were in attendance
at the annual Picnic of thc
Shenandoah Farmers' Union held at
the Shenandoah county fair grounds. I
near Woodstock, Va., on Saturday
Senator George B. Kcezel, wellknown
for his legislative efforts on
behalf of the farmers, made the principal
address.
Rev. Reginald Dawson, pastor of thc
Presbyterian church of Martinsburg.
probably saved thc life of the six- i
year-old daughter of R. C. Dinecn. of
Berkeley Springs, when the child's

started. Mr. Dawson heard thc children's
cries, and ran to thc scene,
and rolled the little girl in the dust
until thc flames were extinguished.
Increases of 20 per cent in wages j
effective September 1st, paid to corny |
mon labor bv the United States Steel j
Corporation, thc Midvalc Steel and I
Ordinance Company and the Youngstown
Sheet and Tube Company, werO I
anonunced Tuesday. It was also "n-'
nounced that pay of mine and cokd
workers in the Fayette region of Pennsylvania
would be advanced. The ad
vanccs were gratuitous, none of the*
plants referred to having any appreciable
union strength.
Additional machinery w ill be in-,
stalled in the Millville plant of the
Potomac Public Service Company, it
was decided Tuesday at a meeting of
the executive committee of the company
held in Hagerstown. More generating
machicnry is needed at Millville,
officials state, owing to the increased
demands for power coining
from all sections. It was brought out
in the meeting that the Potomac com-!
pany with all its power plants and
water power, is running practically
at its fullest capacity all the time
when a certain amount should be
held in reserve to guarantee service
A careful study of the increase in the
demand tor power has been made, and
officials say that it is reasonable to expect
the same amount of increase for
the next two years at least. To meet
this, the Millville plant is one that
will be enlarged and made inorc efficient.
G W. Humrickhouse, of this place,
has a curiosity that he thinks is vorth
mentioning. It is an old bureau that
was taken from Fount tin Rock, the

O
Rivera of Hot Water in North.
Discovery of an almost tropical valIcy
with rivers of boiling water, many
mineral springs, abnormal plant
growth and abounding with game in
for northern British Columbia is re- ,
ported by Frank Perry, mining cngi- !
neer of Vancouver, back after 17 years
spent prospecting the weird valley
close to the Yukon border.
The area of the terrain covered by
Mr. Perry during his long sojourn in
the cold north country is roughly 700
miles north and south and 300 miles
wide, between the coastal range and .
the Lizard and Fort Nelson rivers. The
unusual sight of a heavy fog in a win- 1
tcr attracted him to the valley and ,
later exploration showed it to be ap- ,
proximately 200 miles long and 40 j
miles wide. Rivers of hot water ran
through it fed by hundreds of hot
springs, which bubbled out of th*
ground in all directions, the steam
from these being condensed on rising ;
forming the fog which he had first j
! seen from the range crest.
Mr. Perry reported that he saw nytny 1
I wild animals. These congregated, |
! due to the luxuriant vegetation made
possible by the heat generated by the
springs, and in the valley were huni
dreds of mountain sheep and goats,
| caribou and moose, with also bears
and other fur-bearing animals. The
moose, almost square from fat wcro
so tame, that he has been able to
walk amongst them and could almost
touch them.
The tree growth within the valley
was abnormal, Mr. Perry states. The
ordinary wild rose hushes were like j
trees, with stems as thick as a man's I
forearm, so dense that it was impos- J
sible to force a way through, while
the willows grew to three sizes, and
it was possible to walk along the |
branches. Some of the trunks of the I
latter were fully one foot and a-half
through. Vines grew to a length of
about <i() feet and nettles and ferns
were both of unusual height.
Another peculiar feature was that
the valley Was free form frost in the
winter due to the action of the springs 1
and consequent vapor. Important
mineral depositcs were discovered by :
Mr. Perry, including gold, silver an (J |
copper, iron and oil formations were
also found.
Postage stamps, ranging in denominations
from one cent to $5 are to
undergo radical changes as to design
nad color, with a view to preventing
losses by the PostofRce Department,
due to the lack of distinctive features,
it was announced.
All stamps ranging in denomination
from one to seven cents now bear thr |
portrait of George Washington, while'
an etching of Benjamin Franklin appears
on those ranging from 8 cents
to $5. The department contemplates
retaining the Washington and Franklin
portraits upon certain of the stamps,
but. it is said, will Slihcti?ii?<? nnr.
traits of lending figures in American
history on the others.
The department was of the opinion,
it was explained, that differetn de- '
signs and colors would enable postal
employees to detect more readily short !
! paid matter. Cancellation marks
| stamps frequently obliterate the numerals,
officials pointed out, but with j
a change in color and design of strik- |
( ing contrast and dissimilarity fewer
, mistakes, they added, would be made
and the department in time would
save thousands of dollars.
What Causes Lightning?
There have been many theories advanced
to account for the source of at
mospheric electricity, but perhaps the
most generally accepted one is that of j
George C. Simpson, in which he con- 1
eludes that when drops of water arc
broken up in smaller drops the water
becomes positively charged and the air
negatively charged.
Drops of water larger than .2 of an
inch in diameter are unstable when
falling through air and drops smaller
than -2 of an inch in diameter do not
attain a velocity greater than eighteen
miles per hour.
In all thunder storms there is a reason
to believe that there are ascending
currents of air with a velocity
greater than eighteen miles per hour.
Therefore, at the top of the nee. n.tim
air currents there will he a large ,ucumulation
of water This water is
constantly growing front smaller drops
into drops large enough to he broken.
Bach drop has an equal charge of
positive and ncga:ive electricity an,1
every time a drop breaks the w tor
retains the positive charge an i the air
takes the negative charge away. The
positively charred v iter remains in
the form of a cloud. When the charge
on the ground hcc >m.- great enough,
an electric di?ch; rge. or fl ish of light1 ning
occurs h tv .-i -hc cloud and the
