NATURAL GAS WELLS.

Pittshury, so long known as the
"Smoky CITY" promises to lose that
unenyiable title in the nea future.
The natural gas lately discovered IN
that region in large quantities has
already taken the place Of coal in many
of the rolling mills and blast furnaces,
aud as soou as pipes and appliances
are laid The whole city will be sup
piled with the new self-propelling tuel
and can then vie in cleanliness and
comeliness with New York.
The gas issues from a well generally
of 12On to 1900 feet in depth. BEING
upder a pressure of from $50 TO 200
pounds to the square inch, it comes
out with a peculiar kissing sound.
When lighted as it issues from tie
well the gas blazes up in a vast column
burns with a palpitating flame, and
gives forth a rumb!ing sound. The
a sc OF the palpitating is the irregular
rush of air to supply the combustion.
The same thing occurs when water is
poured from an inverted bottle. To
prevent This ~palpitstion of the gas
flame, a serious inconvenience when
used as fuel valves are placed in the
lipes ut intervals and break the
hu~nctuating movement.
The convenience. cleanliness and
adaptability Of the gas to certain
kinds Of manufacture, notably glass
manufacture will be the chief gain.
Imagine a rolling mill whitewashed
inside and outside. Such q thing ac-
tually exists in PittsbuTg. Tie oner-
ols task of cooking has become a
pleasurable pastime by the use of gas.
For heating dwellings it has been
found to be better than either heated
air or steam. The coal beds which
have built mp a community OF a quar-
ter Of a million people will not be used
by the Pittsburg people hereafter, but
will needs be marketed elsewhere.

ARTIFICIAL FLOUR.

A newspaper men in the northern
part of the state of New York stumbled
upon a factory in the baekwoods. lie
entered the est blishment and found
within ii a machine that resembled
very much "A huge pencil sharpener. 1t
was revolving very rapidly. In it were
sticks of poplar wood, and these
sticks were soon converted into thin
shavings Tany feet in length. These
shavings were then subjectedtoagrining
process, and were finally converted into
a substance that resemb'ed a sofs, vel.
yety Indian meal. He inquired OF the
cid mar in charge the use of such an
article, and was informed that it was
IN artificial -four. The proprietor OF
the establishment was very reticenr
in regard to what became of it, wi a.
it was used for, ard who bought it.
He said: 'Well, III be turned IL 1

is that we make it aud sell it. Same
folks say that they make bread of il;
Others say that they feed their hogs

them. You can't get anything more
