"A Boston paper comments on the
fact that people hate their proteges
when those they have helped grow be-
yond the need of their aid. A much
more common fault of the average
weak human nature is to store up a
grudge against the one who has con-
ferred an important favor. Few people
like to acknowledge that some one else
has conferred prosperity upon them.
An obligation of this kind generally
weighs heavily and an Independent
spirit will constantly seek opportunity
to repay it, balance the account or deny
it outright. Real gratitude isnoble, but
not common. -Cieceldnd LeaIer.

Mysterious Disappearance.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct, 1.-THE myste-
rious disappearance of the pay rolls OF
the street cleaning department from 1880
to 1885, with the exception OF twelve
weeks, came to light this morning. For
several DAYS clerks of the Board OF Pub
lie Affairs have been busilY engaged in
overhauling the pay rolls OF the old
Board of Public Works in search of the
street-cleaning department rolls for the
use of experts who have not yet begun
operations on the pay rolls of the depart
ment. The disappearance OF these pay
rolls will trouble these experts In their
work of investigation and will render the
work o most difficult task.

The Grant Embalming Bill,

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Colonel FRED
Grant has written a letter TO the editor
of the San, saying that while the Grant
family regards the bill of Holmes & Co..
the undcrtakers who embalmed the Gem
erals body, as Just, they did not wish
10 see others suffer by reason of it. He
therefore incloses Mrs. Grants check
for $500, the amount of Holmes Co.'S

the Grant family regard the bill as i'm
proper, there is no reason why the Sun
should be reimbursed for its payment of
the same, and the check is therefore re-

We must say to begin with that a
large proportion of mankind, as any
great portrait painter will testify,
never see faces actually at all. Some
are short-sighted and see no definite
edges to anything, and consequently,
though unconsciously, rely for indcntiti-
cation on evidence, which is not that of
sight and is frequently all wrong. They
see the type, but not the true face, aud

II they were paid to do il. They have

A NATURAL GAS FORGE.
An Invention Likely to Revolutionlxe the
Smelling of Iron and Glass.

An Invention Likely to Revolutionlxe the
Smelling of Iron and Glass.
The Petroleum Age thus describes a
recent trial at Kendall, Pa, of DIR. Ben
ninehof's patent process of smelling
iron, steel and glass with natural gas.
Iron and steel were quickly raised to a
white heat in a well controlled flame,
which came from mixing natural gas
with air, and the metals were easily and
thoroughly welded.
The invention seems likely to revolu-
tionize the smelling of iron, steel andglass
in the United States. The forge is built
of brick, about thirty-three inches square
at the base and thirty inches in height.
The tirepot is located. at the central
point, and near the top of the forge.
inch air pipes coming from the fan or
blower are connected to thrce-quarter
inch gas pipes just outside and on OPP
posite sides of the forge. At the T the
ras and air are mixed, and then pass
into the forge through the same pipe.
The two pipes from opposite sides are in
a horizontal line with one another, and
have their open ends in the forge di-
rcctly opposite and sixteen inches apart.
When they are lighted, the two flames
strike against each other. An air pipe
in q vertical position from the bottom of
the forge has its open end about eigh-
teen inches below the horizontal line be-
tween the pipes containing gas and air.
The intense heat is obtained near the
intersection point of the air current and
the mixed ones of air and gas.
The top of the forge is nearly closed,
with the exception Of an aperture large
enough to admit the piece of iron or
steel to be welded. When the two gas
lets are first lighted, the flame rises to a
height proportionatc to the flow of gas.
But when the air is forced into the air
pipes and mingles with the gas, the
flame changes from a yellow to a lam
bent blue color, as it settles into the
tircbox in the forge. Why the jet of
flame sinks instead of rises is something
as vet unexplained by those who have
brought about the valuable results. DR..
Benninghotf describes his invention rs q
process in which gas is mixed with air
under pressure, so as to make it in tho
highest degree combustiblc. He also
says, the oxygen in the mir being the inn
portant factor of combustion, all that is
necessary is to supply a sufficient
amount of air to get the required
amount Of oxygen to perfectly consume
the gas. Gas burning in an ordinary
jet for the purpose Of light gives that
light because it is not all consumed.
Where combustion is perfect, there is no
blaze or flame to be seen. In order that
the air supply may not interfere with
the heat supply, the gas is mingled with
the air before it is introduced into
the tircbox. In arranging a forge
it may also be necessary to add extra
all blasts to the fire for the purpose of
locating the heating place, and for sup
plying oxygen in case there be any non-
oNygenizcd gas prcsent.-scientidc

A WONDERFUL GROWTH.

Some CareHully-Compiled Statistics OF
General Interest Relative to the ftapiu
Increase In Population and Wealth OF
the More Northern Portions OF tho
Great Northwest.
The late reports from the Executive
officials Of the great States and Terri
tories of the Northwest show y sur
prising growth in population and
wealth. This important region COM
prises the rich agricultural and grazing
States and Territories of Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington
and Oregon.
MINNESOTA.
The returns from the Minnesota GEN.
sus taken in May, 1885, show a popu-
lation in the State of LILY, 798. In
1880 it was 78O,773. The assessed valu-
alton of property in Minnesota is $4O1.-
O28, 587; in 1880 it was $268, 055, 543; in
crease, SLAP, 973, O44.
The cities of St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, the largest and most important
business metropolis of the State, and in
fact of the entire Northwest, show an
unprecedented growth. They are sit
uated so nearcach other that their cor
porate limits now join, and form =
great commercial center. They are
about equal in size, and their combined
population by the census Of May, 1885,
was 24O, 597; in 1880 it was $4,000, in
crease, 152,537. The capacity of tho
Touring mills is $4,000 barrels of flour
a day. Wheat received last year. 3d.
43S, 1922 bushels; elevator capacity,
$500, 900 bushels; cut of lumber, 3O0,-
724, 1919 feet; new buildings erected,
4,948; real estate sales, 929, 435, $50.
Duluth and Superior, at the head Of
Lake Superior, separated only by the
Bay of St. Louis, form an important
commercial metropolis. Their popula-
ton is upwards of 10000, and next to
Chicago they are the greatest shipping
points for wheat in the West, having an
elevator capacity of 5000, 900 bushels.
DAKOTA.
Dakota shows a remarkable growth
in population, and by the development
of only a small portion of its great agri-
cultural II shows a large in
crease in the number of farms, products
of the soil and live stock. The returns OF
the Territorial census taken in June,
1885, and the report of Governor Pierce
to the Secretary of the Interior for 1885.
compared with the census of 1880, show
the growth of the Territory:
