A DAKOTA PRAIRIE FIRE.

An extensive and destructive prairie fire
occurred recently in the vicinity of Forman,
in Sargent County, Dakota. The Chronicle
says; " Last Sunday evening, AZ the sun
was sinking in the western horizon, q fire
was noticed enoirclipg this place, and at no
greater distance than twenty miles to the
north and west. The scene that Immediate
ly followed WAS teo horrible TO be thought
lightly Of. The whols heavens sesmsd as
one mass of seething, kissing fire. The roar
that accompanied the flames as they darted
upward was enough to startle the pioneer
and completely shatter the bold and fearless
tenderfoot. A cry was raised, and in few
minutes the citizens had turned out en-
masse with wet bags and coal-oil torches,
and going to the north and northwest limits
Of the town along the wagon trail leading
west, immediately piled the torches. The
grass went off like powder, burning black
fire about twenty feet wide in AN instant,
reaching nearly a half mile. Then to NEE,
The creeping flames approaching from the
north, double back-fre was started by the
torch men, and had just been completed
when the roar of the flames was heard as
cending the hill-only in moment to flash
in the tall grass and meet the back-fire with
the swish peculiar to tho conclusion follow
ing the discharge of \ cannon. The fire to
the west was then about two miles distant,
but nearing at the rate of about eighteen
miles an hour, and when the north fire had
been safely met all han went to the south,
west trail, running to about twenty yard.
north of tho new sohool-house, and started
back-fire on the north side of tho trail,
and then bringing the fire over the trail, il
was led to burn around tho south side Of the
school-house, being watched by eight or ten
to prevent the fire spreading to the build
ing. At one time il seemed as though the
blaze would get the best of them but wet
sacks were applied and the flames subdued.
Other parties were sent in different direc-
tons and succeeded in checking tho fire
The damage done, however, was estimate,
At $40, 000."

ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON VESSELS.

sis it intended TO light all Of oar men,
Df-wsr eventually by means of electricity ?"
asked q Star reporter this morning of Com
modore Walker
Hardly that" was the reply, but We
are putting electric lights on some of tho
vessels as an experiment That manner OF
lighting is scarcely as necessary for naval
vessels as for passenger vessels, in which it
seems to be an additional attraction to swell
the list Of passengers. 1t undoubtedly is q
great convenience on war vessels however.
Ono great objection to tho use of common
lamps is the heat generated by them, and
scarcely less Objectionable is the accom-
by the use Of tho electric lights Besides Il
ia q great comfort and convenience to have
the ships so we'll and safely lighted. The
Trenton was the first American man-of-wai
that was lighted In that way, and although
tho experiment was tried by some European
nations before, tho Trenton, when she left
New York for the Asiatic station, was the
best lighted naval ship aaoat She had $50
lights. 1t Is intended, as an additional ex-
pertinent, to light few other vessels in the
same why. The Omaha Is to be fitted with
155 lights, and the new cruisers, Boston
and ATLANTA, will have 210 each, while the
Chicago will BIO lighted throughout with 800
lights. We cannot afford to light any more
vessels in that way at present, as it is look
Cd upon as luxury rather than necessi-
ty.nr-- HgsAtndton Skw.

Breaking IL Gently.

Nose Schaumburg for several week. past
has been very much depressed. Mrs.
Schaumbnrg is of very nervous tempera-
ment, and cannot stand the slightest exotic
ment. Sho is devoted to her father and they
correspond regularly, but she has received
no letter from him for three weeks. The
reason why she has received no letter is SIM
ply because he died suddenly about three
weeks ago. Mose was afraid to let her know
anything about it, and the burden Of appre-
henslon growing heavier every day, he con-
fided the secret to Sam Levy, his cousin,
and requested him to break the news gently
to Rebecca. Sam promised to do so, saying
that he had great deal Of tact. He called
next day, and as soon as he was seated Mrs.
Scbaumburg told him that she was very
anxious about her father, Solomon Meyer,
he not having written in three weeks that
she was afraid something had happened to
him. "No, drinks not" said Sam ~
would not have any apprehension on dot ac-
count. Mine fodder has pom dead sixteen
years, and have not had letter from him

PRODUCTS OF NATURAL GAS.

From an open letter on Natural Gas
Wells" in the Csnt,,y, We quote the fol-
lowing: "The produces of natural gas are
numerous. The most important thus far
are lamp or carbon points for the electric
light. There are ten catbon-blaok works in
operation, making 5000 pounds of black
per day. Al a remote point in Armstrong
county, Pa, Boston Arm has large works,
locally known as the mystery on account
Of the secrecy with which it is conducted.
Here they make tho black, and it is sup
posed coloring matter also, from the gas.
At Stuartson furnace, in the some county,
Is another works where the carbon points
are made. Both these works are guarded,
and o stranger Is not permitted to be about
them. A number of persons are expert
menting with the gas, with as many differ
emit objects in view. 1t is impossible to learn
what has been accomplished, as they are
quick to 500 the advantage Of keeping Sc
cret any discovery they may have made.
What the future Of this wonderful fuel will be
It would be difficult to foretell Natural gas
springs are known 10 exist in many parts of
tho United States. This would seem TO in
dictate wide distribution OF ii. In August
last large well was struck at Crostlino,
Ohio, which may open vast territory.
Where gas may or may not be found can
only be determined by the drill. How far
u may influence the manufacturing interests
d the ysass to como depends upon its sup
ply

The handsome residences Of the Vanderbilt
and Jay Gould naturally attract the most
attention. They are oil conspicuous DWELL
lngs, so constructed and decorated AZ to
show enormous expenditures Of money. The
display of riches 10 alwsyB vulgar, but In
New York 1t is the price Of notoriety
Everything and everybody worship cash.
The newspapers have helped to breed this
condition. Nothing receives from them 80
much notice as the movements Of mon who
have great wealth, no matter how obtained
or how badly used. The people, high or
low, follow in their train, and New York ia
heartless, pushing community, whore so
,ial life Is restricted and Independence of
,ction OF almost any sort is without bride.
There is q good deal that La offensive In
this, both In and out OF doors. For whore
there Is no other standard but money the
moral and intellectual tone Is not apt to be
high. The wealthy circles OF New York
are therefore as a rule unnteresting, except
MS study. 1t Is the best place in the world
to observe the curious ways Of men and
women who spring from pedders and cob
blers to be arlstocrats in single genera
ton. oftentimes in decade. There il no.
thing winning or eleyating in the way Van
derbilt or Jay Gould spend their money.
Vanderbilt endsasors to show some Ana
tides of life by buying magnificent works OF
art, but they are only for show and to please
others. The coarser elements OF his nature
are always uppermost and he turns to his
horses for amusements instead of to his
books and pictures. The social life of these
very wealthy men is generally Of the lower
or Medium order and their view OF happi
ness is gusged by the looks or gait of o
horse, the speed of a steam yacht or an,
,ther conspicuous evidence OF what money
will buy. Perhaps In all this they onl,
follow the presidents set for Thorn by the
wealthy persons of past ages Crest riches
mean excuses aud those who have grown
suddenly rich are not only patterning after
those. who inherited them froma long line
