A Minnesota man has patented a pneu.

which consists Of two double cones, put

low. A tube runs through 1t, perforated
at the sides and bottom. This tube con-
meets the two pipes which enter the aplces
OF the cones. The grain TO be transport

revolution Of the fan sucks It into the con.
Meeting tube, and then blows 1t ahead in.

forward BY suction ahead and compress

seems 10 be that the grain cannot readily
pass under the influence oItwo directly

At some point they must neutralize each
other. Still, as the inventor has secured

works satisfactorily, so that he may have

Probable successor the Combination

Of Petroleum. HI 0l q
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 2s.-A dis
patch from Pittsburgh says that another
great industrial strike Is going on in the
oil regions ofthisstate, caused by tho very
low price Of petroleum. Most of the oil
producers Of the region have combined
for the purpose Of suspending operations
until scarcity Of the article enhances its
price. At q convention held at Petrolia,
q committee was appointed for the pur-
pose Of carrying out the object named.
From the report OF this committee, Il Ia
learned that nearly all the producers Of St.
Petersburg, Petrolia, Karns City, and Mil
leIstown have shut down, and the
statistics taken by the Committee show
that In Butler county, out of 13O wells
drilling, 107 have positively shut down
for three months, leaving but % now ac-
tually drilling. The Committee say they
succeeded in doing more than was antici.
|pated.by the most sanguine, and that the
objects and complete success OF the move.
ment have been fully accomplished, Il
cannot be questioned that this action on
the part Of the producers cannot bat have
its effect on all the great marts OF petro-
leum In the world. o. ,,,.. d. -, :.
