Europe almost unnoticed under the shadow Of the

A Frontier Blaze.

Particulars of terrible prairie fire
near Ellis, on the Kansas Pacific says
the Denver News, were given few days
ago. About the same time, according to
other and later advices, the town of Cot
tonwOOd Falls, further east, was scOurged
with flame. A fierce gale brought in
devastating fire from the south. Every
thing in its track, including several
ranch buildings, haystacks, and even
horses and cattle, were burned up, and
the inabitants themselves barely escaped
with their lives. The flames fairly
bounded into the south part of the town,
and 50 suddenly, too, that the people we've
appalled, at the sight and in am incredi-
bly, short time the fire was roaring and
cracking among the small dwellings,
stables and fences. Wagons were EN-
plOyed- to haul furniture and valuables
from the endangered buildings, and the
women and children, wild with fright,
were huddled together in the court
house, many of them praying 50 loudly
as to he distinctly heard in the streets.
When the southern half of the town had
been laid waste, the gale abated sud
denly. and, at the same time, shifted
around and turned the blaze back over its
track of devastation. This, together

avcrted any greater calamity than had
already betaIlcn the place. While the
fire was at its height, according to the
statement Of an EYEWITNESS. the heat
WAS 50 intense along the front of the
blaze that no one could walk within two
hundred feet of il, and the whole space
above was filed with whirling s.aoke,
tongues of flame, and burning shingles
and other finder fragments caught Up by
the gale. \ Mr.. Williams, coroner of
the county, in racing with the flames,
had the hair burned off his head, and he
escaped from this taste of Tophet with
charred scalp. The fire caught up with
a teamster named John O'Byrne, and
licked the overcoat off his back, and he
only saved himself by rolling over and
over on the ground. a colored man at
work in a quarry south Of the town lost
his hair, and saved himself by crawling
under a ledge of rocks. The cause of all
this was a spark from farmhouse chin
ney three miles south of the town.

CENTENNIALITIES.
A BUILDING specially devoted to the !

Is to be erected.


A BUILDING specially devoted to the
exhibition Of fruit, grain and vegetables
is to be erected.
BALTIMORE will send an exclusion
party of ladies and gentlemen to the CEN
tennial grounds on Washington's birth
day
IT is calculated that at least 10000
600 visitors will be attracted to Philadel-
phi by the centennial exhibition during
the spring and summer.
ELEVEN carloads of Swedish and Nor
wegian exhibits, brought to Philadelphia
by the Swedish steamer HeimhaI, have
been placed in the main building
a CIRCULAR has been issued by the
wOmen's centennial executive committee
requesting information concerning the
charitable institutions of America and
foreign countries.
\ SPECIAL building covering three
acres of ground will be erected by the
bureau of agriculture for the accommO-
dation of the wagons and carriages and
other similar articles of bulk.
SEVERAL plans for the proposed build
ing to be erected for the display of the
educational interests Of Pennsylvania at
the centennial are in the hands of J. p.
Wickersham, superintendent of public
instruction.
THERE is great activity in the machi-
merry hall. Workmen in great numbers
are engaged in preparing foundations for
boilers, engines, etc. The sections of the
mammoth COrliss engine are being placed
in position.
BY order of the secretary of the navy
the United States steamer Franklin will
proceed to southampton, England, and
other foreign ports and take up the works
of American artists abroad intended for
exhibition at Philadelphia.
4 CENTENNIAL tree is to be trans.
planted by Mr.. p. 5. Peterson from the
Rose Hill nursery, in Jefferson, H., to
Chicago's Washington park, north side.
| The tree is a magnificent elm, 100 years
old, 9 feet III circumference, and nearly
90 feet high.
A PHOTOGRAPH Ofthe New Haven or
phan asylum has been taken, and will
be suitably framed and forwarded to

tory of the institution, TO be exhibited
with other similar contributions relating
| to charitable organizations.

St. Louis, and will be rapidly transported
to Philadelphia. The state board of
centennial managers are making great
! efforts to have Missouri well represented.
THE centennial fire brigade, which, is
now thoroughly organized, will comprise
about 200 men during the exposition.
Forty of them are stationed at the head
| quarters of Chief Marshal Smith in one
| 0fthe eastern towers of machinery hall
The plan of working the fre-alarm will
be the same as that ordinarily used.
The committee appointed to select
/ American works ofart for exhibition at
Philadelphia, will proceed to Boston
about the last week in March. After
passing upon the collection there they
! will come to New York and do likewise
there. Then returning to Philadelphia
they will assume their duties there with
reference to all other American art con-

GREATEST INVENTION OF THE AGE.
4 New and Wonderful Discovery for
Producing Heat and Light
without FueI.
From the Chicago Time.

From the Chicago Times.
The other dav we were shown what
promises to be the most wonderful in
ventiOn of the age, and one which prom
ises to TevOlutiOnize our entire domestic
and commercial economy. 1t is nothing
less than a substitute for fuel, produced
at comparatively no expense, and by the
application of the simplest scientific con
tTivance. The invention Is denOminated

tor. By interpolation Of the invention,
ordinary coal oil and water may be made
to produce heat enough to run an engine.
pTOpel machinery, heat cooking stove,
illuminate Il mansion, or perform any
other result usually accomplished by
means of wood or coal. 1t is an entirely
safe and practicable method. BY its use
the most difficult mechanical problems of
the age are destined to be solved in the
future. The burden Of gas monopoIies
will be abolished, and the new system of
generating heat from water and oil will
astOnish the scientist as well as the I'M
schOOled and undiscipiincd mind. The
process Is not complicated or mysterious.
It is simply the result which overwhelms
the mind with its wonderful possibilities.
Prof. Kendall, the well-knOwn chemist,
who has experimental with this inven-
ton, says that by the use oft he was en-
abled to produce all the fire to do the
cooking, washing and ironing for six per
sons, for seven days, for 80 cents. The
apparatus burns from One-iOurth to sew
en-eights as much water as it does any
combustible fluid, and produces a result
which cannot fail to fill everyone with
amazement who witnesses its operations.
For household purposes it is UneXcelled.
There is no dust or filth, smoke or disa-
greeable scent about it. Gas can be fur
nished from any cooking stove for illumi-
mating a house for fifty cents per thou
sand feet. The light produced is clear,
bright and steady, far superior in quality
and Illuminating properties to the Ordi-
nary gas produced from coke, which
costs from So to So 80 per thousand feet.
The attachment can be made to any or
binary stove, range, or furnace, or mo-
tive power, with entirely satisfactory re-
suits. This invention only needs to be
examined to have its merits fully appre-
ciated. Capitalists and persons desiring
from curiosity or alternatives to see the
invention in operation are cordially re-
quested to call and witness its results.
A patent has been procured, and the in
ventOr, very eminent scientific gentle
man, is now prepared to enter the field,
and capture the public with an inven-
ton obvious on sight, and more useful to
! civilized man than could be the realiza,
| ton Of the widest dreams created by the
alleged claim of the Kelley motor, which
have heretofore created so much comment
and interest in the public mind. The
| simplicity and practicability of this ap
paratus can be Disseminated on sight
and it is destined to go into general use
rs soon as its merits become known to the

One other scene may properly be added
to this brief record OF the struggle and
triumphs of old New York There came
a sunshiny day in April, 1889, when
George Washington, president-elect of
the United States by the unanimous
voice of the people, stood on balcony
in front of the senate chamber in the old
Federal hall on Wall street, to take the
oath of office An immense multitude
filled the streets and the windows and
roofs of the adjoining houses. Clad in a

manufacture, with hair powdered, anG

hero who had led the colonies TO their
independence came modestly forward to
take up the burdens that peace had
brought. Profound silence fell upon
the multitude rs Washington responded
solemnIy, 4 swear-so help me God. -
Then, amid cheers, the display of flags,
and the ringing of all the bells in the
city, our first president turned TO face

upon him. In sight of those who would
