A Town Where No Co.l or Wood is Wanted.

Not pound OF wood or GOALS consumed at
Creighton, twenty miles from Pittsburg, where
the Pittsburs Plato Glass Company have their
plant. lass factory and residences are heated
and lighted by natural gas. Gas was struck at
1900 feet in a Ave inch bore. A torrent Of
what the owners describe as pure nitrogen
gas" bursts out with force of $50 pounds to
the square inch, and after three years is flow
ing with MS much energy as ever. The visitor
sees no coal, no wood, no cinders, no ashes, no
smoke. In the furnaces is lurid, steady heat
regulated by clock-work. No grimy stokcr
sweats his life away at furnace DOORS but in

invites you to look at the glass through the
open furnace doors, where glarcs heat suf-

ablaze in broad day, because it is not worth

the residences thumb-screw regulates the

LOST IN A CAVE.

The Echo du Nord gives the narratifo
of an adventure which, save for provi-
Dental chance, might have resulted in
dreadful termination to the parties most
concerned. Three young men Of Lille,
on y holiday excursion, resolved to ex
plore the famous subterranean recesses
at Lezinnes. Provided with common
candle of small size and box of matches,
as if he were merely going to look for
something in cellar, the cicerone led
the three young men confidently into the
very curious but sometimes dangerously
intricate underground labyrinth. At
first the volunteer guide, who after all
had but very imperfect knowledge of
the tortuous windings of the cavern
depths: found that he had lost his way,
and, becoming confused, strayed hope
lessly about with his companions. Feel
ing more at loss than ever they per-
ceived with dismay that their candle was
nearly burned to the end, and this at
length being entirely consumed, recourse
was had to the box Of matches, which
was lighted and burned one after the
other until no more remained.
All the pieces of paper they had about
them were next consumed, then their
pocket handkerchiefs and all the linen
they could spare were put under contri-
button and burned until they had nothing
more that would furnish the necessary
illumination, and they were left in dark
ness and terror. A seemingly intermina-
BILE period of suspense, anxiety and fear
succeeded. To add to their apprehen-
sions they were well aware of the sad
fate which had befallen M. Puy, the
mushroom cultivator, who had entered
the same caverns in l848, and had never
returned to his home or been since found.
Many weary hours were thus passed in
mortal anxiety. AT length they could
scarcely repress their screams of Joy at
the appearance of a faint, glimmerine
light in the far-off darkness between the
massive columns Of chalk that supported
the roof of the limestone cavern. The
rush to the saving light was maddenet
race for the benighted explorers, who, tt
their transports of delight, encountered
M. Matthias. a farmer of the neighbor
hood, who had descended the cav -rn t,
look after his beds of chickory roots
The thankfulness of the whole party a
their escape from what might have reall,
proved living death will need no furthe

SCRAPS OF OREGON HISTORY.

In 1892 Captain Gray, of Boston, CON-
manded the ship Columbia, discovered
and ascended the river named after the
latter. This discovery formed the basis
for the subsequent claim of the United
States to an acquisition of the territory
now embraced in Oregon.
In lS04-5 Captains Lewis and Clark
crossed the Rocky Mountains and de-
scended the Columbia river to the Pacific
Their official report first made the great
resources of that part of the Pacific coast
known.
In 1910 the first house was built in
Oregon by Capt. Winship, another New
England sea-farer. In 1911 John Jacob
Astor, of New York, established trad
ing post at the mouth of the Columbia
river, which was named Astoria, in his
honor The venture proved disastrous,
mainly in consequence of the war between
the United States and Great Britain in
1872. The British took possession of the
post in 1913, and called it Fort George.
Subsequently it became the property of
the Hudson Bay Company, and it re-
NAMED in their possession until lS4S.
The Northwest Fur Company disputed
for time the rule of the latter company
on the Pacific coast, but had to succumb
in few years, and was absorbed by its
rival in 1924; from which time, till lS4S,
the latter ruled supreme in the valleys of
Columbia and Willamette.
In 1924 the first fruit trees were
planted in Oregon, and in 1881 the first
attempt at farming was made by some of
the retired servants of the Hudson Bay
Company. In lS42 the first school was
opened. Between 1884 and 1887 mis-.
sionaries of various denominations arrived
bringing the first cattle with them. III
1888 the first printing press arrived ir
Oregon. In lS4l Commodore Wilkes
visited the Columbia on an exploring ex
pedition at the instance of the American
Government.
From lSl6 to 1916 the American anc
British Governments held Oregon by
joint occupancy, under a formal treaty
Yet up to lS43 the inhabitants of Orego,
did not enjoy the benefit of any form o
civil government whatever; but in th'
year last named the first steps were takel
toward the organization of provisiona
government, which was formally ac
cepted by the people at general election
held in lS45.

"SORTER GENERAL. AMT YER!"

General Hardee was one of the martin
cts of the Southern army, the very model
of a "vicille moustache," immaculate in
dress, soldierly in bearing and a great
disciplinarian. On one occasion he was
sent to Arkansas to deal with some very
refractory volunteer brigades that had
lest all idea OF military discipline, and
one day near camp came upon soldier
who was sitting down under tree, had
taken his gun apart, and was cleaning it.
diligently. As the General approached
he looked up, but neither rose nor sa~
luted, and presently went on rubbing and
singing as he worked. The General
pulled up, intent on reproving breach
of military etiquette.
do you know who l am, sir?" he
asked, sternly.
"No, don't know and I don't care a
-" said the soldier. "Sorter general,
amt yer?"
II am the General in command, sir;
that's what l am," said Hardee.
The soldier got up, stuck his hands on
his hips, cooked his felt hat impudently
over his eyes, and said: "Well, I said
yer was sorter general, didn't /? And
if you'll hold on till I git my gun together
and loaded, I'll give you sorter salute. u

An aged colored man whom the Staun-

anecdote about General Jackson. Ac-
cording to this authority the General,
having ridden up to little tavern in
Marysville and found score or more OF
loungers who were not inclined to make
place for him in front Of the fire, called
out to servant:
Boy, have you got any oysters in the
shell?
Yes, massa, plenty of 'em.
Well, put my horse in the stable and
measure out half bushel of oysters and
carry them to him.
The loungers speedily thinned out to
| see the horse eat oysters.
The General, after enjoying the fire
and seeing the boy said:
Well, boy, how is my horse getting on
with his oysters?
Oh, massa, he amt eating 'em.
Very well, bring 'em to me and give
him some oats.
