4 Great Gas Project.

The fact that Bradford, Welsville,
Richburg, Bolivar. and all the tSRns and
hamlets on the northern and middle oil
fields are not on'y lighted, bat heated by
gas, the machine shops. boilers and hotels
being supplied with the same fuel, has
attracted the attention of capitalists, and,
according 10 correspondent of The
Philadelphia Press, syndicate is form
ing TO still further utilize the natural gas
of the northern belt, which extends from
Lake Erie east 00miles, and from Bloom
field, Ontario, county, NY, south to near
Pittsburg; in other words, nearly POO
miles square. As an evidence that this
gas is practically inexhaustible, the fact
is stated that one well at Sheffield, War
rem county, has been flowing steadily for
fifteen years and another in Westmore-
land county nearly as long, and the gas
from either would light and heat the city
of Philadelphia. 1t is stated that the
gentlemen who are interested in the
enterprise are all large capitalists, and
are confident of ultimate success in sup
plying the great cities of the union with
gas. for light and fuel, at much less rates

How Rice Is Cooked in Japan.

A recent traveller in Japan says: They
do know how to cook rice, though, and
for the benefit of consumers in the Unit
ed States investigated the matter.
Only just enough cold water is poured
on to prevent the rice from burning to
the pot, which has a close-ftting cover,
and is set on moderate fire. The rice
is steamed, rather than boiled, until it is
nearly done; then the cover of the pot is
taken off, the surplus steam and moisture
are allowed to escape, and the rice turned
out mass Of snow-whte kernels, each
separate from the other and as much SUI

in the United States as a mealy potato is

something approaching this in our South

here, and IN the Northern States very
few persons understand how to cook rice
properly. ! am sure that if cooked as it
is here, the consumption of this whole

Handsome Homes in Washington.

Washington Letter TO Baltimore sun.
The west end of this city has shown a
continual improvement during the past
five or six years. 1t has been very no
ticeable during the past season, and some
of the houses that are TO be occupied this
fall are in every respect the handsomets
that have ever been erected in this city
The Queen Anne style of architecture
predominates, and in almost every case
black mortar has been used in the out
side walls. The plastering has exceeded
anything in the way of effect that has
ever been done here, the cornices and
friezes being very heavy. Hard woods,
generally of light color have been used
for nearly all inside purposes. The
finishing up OF the fire-places with orna-
mental mantels and tiles gives the rooms
coziness and attractiveness that have
never been surpassed. In many of these
houses antique furniture will be put. In
Others a modern furniture of the same
general design will be used. Beauty and
quaintness are objects aimed at in con-
structing and furnishing In many in
stances more money is spent in design
ing and erecting the mantels than was in
the past required to furnish the entire
room. There is, however in these new
houses less regard shown for outside
effects in the way of approaches, lawns,
etc, than in the past, the most attention
being devoted to inside attractions. EX-
teriors are very picturesque. Pretty
gables, verandas, porticos, arched en-
frances are to be seen in them all. Bricks
of all styles, sizes and shapes have been
used, in many instances having been
made especially for the houses in which
they are used.
Ex-senator Blaine's new house, now
having the finishing touches put on 1t,
excels every house in its neighborhood,
and can Justly be regarded as a triumph
in the building art. II has many visitors
and almost a. many admirers.
The fine residences of Senator Pendle-
ton and Representative Robeson, on Six
teenth street, will be occupied this win
ter. They are in general appearances
similar, the Robson mansion being the
lager II is also more massive. Gilded
sun-flowers do duty at the top Of the
lightning-rods. Sixteenth street next to
Pennsylvania avenue, is the widest street
in the city. 1t has recently been repaved.
and is destined to be be a very attractive
thoroughfare.
Col. Jerome Bonaparte's house, on X
street, near Sixteenth, which has been
in course of erection for the past two
years, will soon be completed. 1t is in
the Queen Anne style, low ceilings and
small panes of glass being the rule of the
first floor. The ceilings of the other
floors are higher. The workmanship is
perfect. Hard woods showing the grains
are used in all parts of it, The mantels
are study in themselves.

ENGLISH BANK NOTES.
How They are Made and Printed-The
Forger's Heartbreaker.
gievelaud Herald

While on his rounds yesterday, a Her
aid reporter ran into an exchange oflic,
where the bookkeeperwas handling som,
foreign bank notes. Among them was {
new Bank of England note for clio. i
was beautiful specimen of paper max
ing and printing, and inquiries as to Tia,
way in which il was made brought on, an
explanation Of the process. said tn,
money changer:
"The Bank of England notes are the
most uncountcrfeitablc of any securities
in the world. 1t is simple matter tc
learn their pcculiarities, and once learned
il is impossible to pass counterfeit upon
a man knowing these peculiarities. They
are in both the paper and the plate, and
the type printing of the note.
First, notice the paper. II is distin-
guished by its peculiar pink color. Such
paper is never seen and is used for no
other purpose. See how thin and trans
parent it is. Those qualities are made
specially to prevent any portion of the
printing being erased by the knife or
acid washing, the two specialties of Am
erican counterfeiters and forgers.
Take the note in your hands. 1t is,
you see, peculiarly tough and crisp.
Those qualities are brought out by the
paper being made entirely from new lin
en- and cotton, and not from rags.
"Do you see the peculiar water, or wire
mark. as il is called? That is produced
by a special mold used when the paper is
in pulp. Do YOU see that rough edge ON
the ends? That is called the deckle, and
is also produced when the paper is in
pulp.
Two notes are placed in a mold when
they are in pulp and divided lengthways.
Hence the top and bottom, or long edges,
are ALWAYS rough. This deckle cannot be
initiated by cutting.
"The paper is also exceedingly strong.
1t is said that bank note properly ad-
iusted will lift hundred pounds weight
without tearing Do you see the difficult
ties forger must overcome before he
can even produce the paper on which the
note is printedp
Every process described requires the
skill of an artisan, whose high remuner-
alton keeps him from any necessity of
dishonesty, and necessity makes the ma
jority ofthieves.
Look at the printing. Besides the
water or wire work, which is beautifully
regular and intricate, plate print is
autographed over the face Of the note.
Then the printing is done. The paper is
first moistened by atmospheric pressure,
10000 double notes being dampened in
an hour.
"The printing ink is also made at the
Bank of England from linseed oil and
the charred husks and vines of Rhenish
grapes, which produces impressions of a
peculiar velvety black, especially in the
heavier figures.
after printing, the notes are number
ed by machine, which, unlike a man,
cannot err, and lastly are endorsed by
the secretary. The bank notes are print
ed in type on the side of the paper that
receives the water mark, and even in the
event of the note being split, which is
another of the forgers favorite tricks, the
imprinted surface would only retain q
slight trace of the type and the water
marks"

The Boys Room.

Let your boys have a pleasant, sunny
room to themselves. Ii each one cannot
have a separate apartment, let him have
his own bureau and specified portion
of closet-room. Let them have sl.bstan-
tial furniture, and don't allow a broken
chair, faded carpet, cracked pitcher, or
mirror in their room any more than you
would think ofputting them in the guest
chamber, which always looks so tasteful
and neat.
As regards the decoration of the walls,
the boys themselvcswill soon furnish the
pictures, if they can be assured there is a
place where they can be kept, and all
fear of their being consigned to the dust
box is removed. They may not be of the
highest order or art, but they indicate a
taste for the beautiful which should be
| encouraged.
Again, boys must and will have all sorts
OF articles collected in different stages OF
their life, as every mother can testify,
| but even the most heterogeneous collec-
| ton can be made to have places of their
own, so the boy can have the pleasure OF
| possession, and the mothers pride in her
| orderly house remain undisturbed.
Then, mothers, let "the BOYS room" be
lust as warm, bright and cheerful as
motherly love and sisterly ingenuity can
make it, (for depend upon it, boys do no.
tice and appreciate little useful ornaments
in their rooms, even fthey don't speak
of it, and if the room is often full OF mer.
ry boys drawn there on account of its at.
tractiveness, don't fret either because Of
the noise made, or confusion that will

companions are always welcome.

4 PAIR OF PANTHERS.
Vermont People Excited over the Deprc-
datious of Two Fierce wild Animals.


datious of Two Fierce wild Animals.
Boston Herald
The peple in this section are greatly
excited over the depredations of large
female panther, which has been work
ing havoc on the farms. Within the
past fortnight the beast has killed about
a score of sheep, two-year-old bull and
yearling colt in this vicinity. The
beast seems content to suck the blood
ofits victims, leaving the flesh untouched.
The creature was at first supposed to be
a cub, and Mr.. Alexander Crowell, OF
this place had an exciting experience
in searching for the "critter." She was
tracked to clump of bushes, through
which the man had proceeded but a
short distance when he found himself
face to face with the huge panther, which
had poised itself and was about to spring.
Mr.. Crowell grabbed his gun and in his
surprise and fright did not stop to take
aim, but lred at random. Fortunately,
however, the bullet entered vital spot
and it was killed outright. 1t measured
seven feet from tip to tip and weighed
1921 pounds.
The people thought that with its
death their troubles would cease, but it
seems that there is another panther ram
pant. 1t is next to impossible to track
the beast, as the dogs will not follow the
trail even when it has been found, and
local, hunters are not very anxious to
come to close quarters with the brute.
This species of panther, it is alleged, has
never been captured alive, and it said to
be of the most ferocious nature. Ii is
assorted here that 7. T. Barnum has
made standing offer of $4,000 for this
one, if caught alive, or $500 for the
body.
