Gas Wells.
the Iaper'.

a Pitt>burg letter to the Rai',ray World
states
The greatest interest has recently sprung
up i'll the Butler gas wells, and Joint
stock company, with capital stock of
$5O0,000, will, within the next four months,
put down an eight inch conducting pipe
from the Barns and Dclamater wells, in
Butler county, thirty-fve mil:s distant
from the city, while other lines will be laid
if necessary, SO as to supply all the mills
in the city and vicinity with carbure;ted
hydrogen gas, to entirely supersede ceal as
fuel.
These wells are, indeed, marvellous, and
give off steady flow of heating gas, that
sounds like the roarof a hurricane, and may
be heard at distance of three miles.
They have been flowing for many months
with a pressure Of $50 pounds to the
square inch without the slightest diminu-
ton. At St. 10 this gas has entirely dis
placed all other kinds of fuel.
Iron men here estimate that if the expe-
riment of introducing this gas into our
mills is successful, and the present supply
continues, it will effect a saving fSl0,-
100000 per yeor in fuel One manl fac
turer informs me that he will be aLle to
save $4,000 alone, and that with the in
PRODUCTION Of this gas Pittsburg will be
able to produce from $40 per ton cheaper
| than any other point in the world, which
will have the effect of putting her at the
head of the steel ard iron trade of the
world.
The experiment has already been tried
successfully. Spans, Chalfant & Go. and
Graf, Bennett & Co. have now got the ga,
from the Butler county we'll introduced
into their mills at Etna and Millvale. At
the former mill, Oh Wednesday Of last
week, it was first introduced into perfect
ly cold pudding furnace, and in a little
over an hour the furnace was ready for the
charge. With coal it would have required
six hours. On Friday last the gas was first
used under battery of boilers at the latter
mill, and with the nost gratifying success.
The heating apparatus or burner, if we
may so term it, consists OF pipe Is feet
long and . inches in diameter, perforated
with one-eighth-inch holes six inches
apart, which pipe extends across the fur
mace just inside the doors.

India. England unless by way Of the Suez
Canal, is ninety days in point Of time away

time.
Russia cal. strike from the Caspian, Box
hara and Ba kar, any Of the northern posts
in British India, in less than thirty days
from the commencement of her march.
This view o! the question, ,pre-suppeses that
the Aigllans would be neutral or friendly
to Russia, if not, that country wsuld be a
formidable barrier to the invaders Of India,
as she stands in tie line Of march, and
commands the mountain passes int her
own country, and also those out of it, and
into India. 1t is fair to assume that the
Afghans would be friendly to Russia, as a
settled hatred to England has existed in
that country since 1910. About that time
England for some reason entered Afghan
istan, to place a puppet of hers upon the
Afghan throne. Dost Mohamed, a valient
cheiitain, aided by his dashing son Ak bar
Khan, rose up against them. Calling his
people to arms, ito exterminate the knife
makers" as they called the English, they
chased them out of Cabeol, hung upon
their rear until they reached the famous
Kyber Pass, the Atshans occupied the
heights, and slew every human being OF
the English expedition but one man, DR..
Sullivan of the 4lth regiment. This by
far the most disastrous military affair in
tile annals of war, has been SO studiously
KEEP. out OF English histories, that it is
practically unknown, even to moderately
we'll informed readers. From that day to
ibis, England has never been able to obtain
a position in Atyhanistan, and it is fair to
presume that Russia would there find
friends, and allies, for the invasion Of India.
By the aid Of a good map, the entire ques-
ton can be inlelligently studied, and its
study will well repay the trouble.

The First Sweetheart.

Yoa can never forget her. She is so
young, and innocent, and pretty. She had
such way Of looking at you over her book
at church. She alone of all the world, did
not think you boy of eighteen, but Won
dered at your size and learning, and your
faint foreshadowing of a sandy moustacne,
and believed you every inch man. When
at those stupid evening parties, when boys
and girls who should have been eating
suppers of bread and-milk, and gone to
sleep hours before, waltzed and flirted and
made themselves sic!. over oysters and
champagne, YOU ware fyored with
glance of her eye, OF whisper of her lip,
YOU ascended to the seventh heaven i'm
mediately. When once upon memorable
eve, she polked with yonpg Smith, and
never even looked at you, how miserable
ysu were. 1t is funny to think Of now
but it was not funny then, for you were
awfully in earnest. Once, at picnic, she
wore white dress and had roses twiaed
in her hair, and she looked SO nsch like
bride you fairly tremlled. Sometimes you
thought, in just such snowy costume, with
lust such blossoms in her hair, she might
stand before the altar, and yos, msst
blessed Of all nortals, mi:h place gold
ring upon her finger; and whcn you were
left alone with her for a moment, some Of
your thoughts would form themselves into
words, and though she blushcd and ran
away, and would not let yoa kis, her, she
did not seem to be angry. And t!len, when
you were somewhat parted for 4 little
while, and when you met her again she
was walkin. with gentleman, large,
full-srown, wAiskered man, of twenty
eight or thirty, and had neither word xsr
smile for you, and some welI-meanin.
gossip informed you soon afterwards that
she was "en:a:ed' to the tall gentleman
with black whiskers, and that ut was
splendid match'-it was terrible news to
you, then, and sent ysu of to some busy
town far from your native place, where,
after good deal of youthful greif, and
many resolutions to die and haunt her.
ysu recovered your equanimity and began
to call love stuff and nonsense. Ysu have
a rich wife Of ysur own now, and grown
up children-aye, even two or three tod
ding srandchildren-absut your hearth !;
your hair is gray, and lock your heart up
in the tire-prool safe at your counting
house when You 60 home at night.
And you thought you had forgotten that
little episode of your nineteenth year,
until the other day you read her death in
the Iapers.
