Sr. PETERsBuRe, October 22.-The
Journal De St, Petersburg, commenting
ON the Roumelisn question, says: prince
Alexander appears to ignore the fact that
his submission to the Powers is 9 duty
created by tie treaty Of Berlin, and sees
no intention on the part Of Bulgaria to re.
turn to the status quo ante. 1t regrets
the action Of Seryia and Greece in order
ing formidable armaments and declares
that Russia, more than any other Power,
must prevent frsiricidal contests in the
Balkans. The Journal Is most pronounc-
ed in its denuntiAtion Of Bulgaria for
having brought about the present state OF
affairs, and says: THE Powers arc unan'
imous in the desire to restore the status
quo ante, and although such sclion IL
bris,ling with obstacles and Iitialls, this
unanimity justifes the hope Of success.

BELLAIRE.

The CRYSTAL sindow glass works yester
day produced its 6rst blow from its new
gas furnace. Il is the FRS. furnace Of the
kind in this section Of the couniIJ, and
can be run at much less than bali tie cos,
OF the old system. The gas is produced
in generators at the ends Of the furnace
from slack cold and coal air. From the
generators the gas is run in fues into the
furnace. The cold air is not used when
making O melt, but 10 turned on when the
workmen are blowing. The difference in
cost OF coal alone is $65 per week. Al
this rate the company would save in ten
months, which is full years run, about
$500.
II has been for some time o matter oi
great concern with our manufacturers, ss
to how the cost of production could be
diminished without the aid Of natural
ges, 80 ss to be about the same price
as its costs to produce with the ma ural
fuel, and the Crystal appears to have struck
about the thing desired. OF course this
new furnace cannot be worked ss chesply
as those using gas. but It will produce glass
at much lower figure than the old fash-
ioned furnaces still in use in the other fac
tories in Bellaire.
1t is probable when the stockholders in
the Bellaire, Enterprise and the Union
fully comprehend the advantages contained
in furnace that is run by manufactured
gas, that they too will erect them.
The manager OF the Crystal 10 highly
elated over the success Of the furnace thus
far. It is somewhat difficult TO under.
stand all matters connected with properly
heating it, but al uncertainties will soon
unravel themselves.

d. A. aOlin, superintendent of the Ra.
cine & Southwestern lines of the Chica>
90, Milwaukee & St. Paul, arrived in the
city from Milwaukee in his special car
last evening, and left this morning for
Clinton, Iowa, where be will look after
bridge work, steel track laying and i'm
provements generally along the portion
of the road under his supervision. To an
ARGUS reporter, who interviewed the Off
cial in his elegant coach this morning,
Mr.. Olin said he had never before seen
business so universally dull in every dc,
partment of trade and commerce.
Wherever l CO." said he, Il find mer-
chants complaining of the depression in
business, hnd there does not seem to be
much appearance of revival in business
at present, either"
What do you think is the cause of the
present duh season, Mr.. Olin?"
"Over production on the part of goods
manufactured. The market seems to be
flooded with them"
How do the railroads fare at tins
timer"
The Milwaukee road is experiencing q
dull period, too, although we are doing as
much business as any other line. We
could do very much more if we had it tc
attend to- We hope for better times. al
though the prospects just now are not en-
couraging

Light.

There is a new invention for the pro-
duction of light at |. Liberman's
store, at the corner of Second avenue and
Eighteenth street. The institution is the
property of Mr.. Ben T. Cable-invented
by a former classmate of his while at
tending the university. The patentee is
Mr. c. NJ Lungren, of New York, and he
sent one of the lights to his friend for
trial. The machine is used by the Sic
mems Lungren Company and it will be
shortly introduced to the public. The in>
ventiOn promises to be a close rival TO
the electric light, for while it does not
equal it in brilliancy 1t does in
steadiness The gas is supplied from
the gas works, worked through
a regenerahve burner. In appearance the
lamp is glass bulb, with lustres, at the
foot of pipe depending from the cell
ing. For about fifteen inches at the low>
er extremity the gas pipe is surrounded
by an open pipe of considerably larger
diameter. The gas pipe terminates in a
metal button, or disk, the circumference
of which is perforated by twenty five OF
thirty tiny holes, through which the gas
comes, uniting in q solid circle of brilliant
white flame, prettIly corrugated at its
circumference and darting the circular
| tip of its jet directly up tht
outer pipe, thus warming the ga'
pipe within it to a great heat. The
effect is that the gas is super-heatcd be-
fore it reaches the flame and in this man
ner all the gas is consumed in the flame
whereas it is greatly wasted which come:
to the flame of common burner, because
, it comes cold to the flame and much of i
escapes before it can be affected by thu
J heat of the fame to the point of burning
: The burner is said to furnish as muc
light as three ordinary gas jets, but las
) evening it seemed to give briliiaucy
enough for treple that number Tn,
burner uses IA feet in the meter to 10(
} candle power.
, Mr. Cable saw the burner for the frs
, time while on visit to New York tive
years ago, and he has used 1t at home be
fore giving the public the benefit of it.
