select one publication for habitual and

combined. 1t has 80 folio pages and

persons religion, politics or profession
may be, no matter what the age, sex,

Independent will prove a help, an in

pressure OF 1000 pounds to the square
inch. Mechanism has been devised
wherewith this gas is piped
into the city OF Pittsburg and the great
mills and manufactures which consume
it, in just the same manner as ordinary
artificial gas is piped, only that the mains
must be Of strong wrought iron or steel,
and the consumer has but to turn valve
and his fires are alight. In Pittsburg
alone the local consumption OF coal ran
into millions annually and required
thousands OF men to dig it, and handle it
in the mills. These men, as well as the
owners OF the mines, are hurt by the use
of gas and no man but tie owner Of the
well and the mill where the gas is used
is benefited Wages are lower If any
thing than when coal was used, and for
their mutual interests the manufacturers
and owners OF wells have combined
to control gas and between them freeze
labor, and the capital invested in coal
mines. The use Of the gas is universal,
every house in the city, the owner OF
which elects, being furnished with it at a
small cost, and the smoke-charged
atmosphere Of the city has been changed
by its use to one mparatively clean and
healthy. These two points are in its
favor, but the great and growing dangers
Of explosions, and the long list Of fatal
accidents Of which it has been the cause,
combined with its ruinous effects on
labor and the production of coal, are all
against it. Pennsylvania has commits
sion Of men for the investigation OF the
gas problem, all of whom agree that they
do not understand the phenomenon
but think the gas comes from a
strata of vegetable matter similar to
that which forms COAL and that it
is inexhaustible, while the opposition
theory believes it is only in pockets and
that sooner or later the whole territory
confining it will cave in and bury every
thing on it. This view is not cheering to
thousands of weak-nerved people and has
had the effect of driving many from that
end of the State. Some idea Of the force
and volume OF the gas can be formed from
the following A well was being bored, and
at depth Of 2,250 feet, and in a ten-inch
hole, the gas was struck suddenly, and it
blew that length OF cable, with the boring
machine attached, out of the ground as a
shot from gun, wrecking the great der
rick connected with it, and showed
pressure of 5000 pounds to
the square inch The volume was
ten times sufficient to supply all of
Pittsburg and increases with time. At
the well mechanism regulates the flow
into the mains, and at certain stations
along the pipe line and in the city the
excess is allowed to emerge when the
pressure is more than 20 pounds to the
square inch, but with all these contriv-
ances whole streets have been blown up
by the gas, and many killed and wounded.
The roar of the escaping gas in all parts
OF the city is deafening, and no means
has been devised to lessen it successfully.
Taken altogether, the gas wells are
huge elephant, and from all now recorded
Of them, anything but God-send to the
people who live in their neighborhood.

be done is to pay the operator. This is not
expensive. Thew generally cost about Sl.6O
or so in country towns. And the money IS
only invested at any rate, for statement OF
the case to the officials of the telegraph
company brings back, in the course of few
months, after the proper amount of red tape
has been gone through, polite little note
from the company inclosing check for the
amount of the blacknail, and the statement
that it had been deducted from the salary OF
the operator.
Getting the men to stay, however, is only
the smallest part of the labor of getting OH
a dispatch at one of these stations. Nothing
more appalling than the ignorance of these
operators on any subject outside of the send
ing of dispatches about the running of trains
can be imagined. The only thing the cor
respondent can do is to hang over the in
strument, telling what every other word IS,
and prayerfully hoping that he is not send
ing "The ballot perpetuated the paregogio"
where there was written 1.-The bullet pene-
trated the periton@um."
1t will be seen by the foregoing that
the fellows who went down first and
placed mortgage on the operator were
enterprising men, knowing that the
chances were limited, they laid for said
chances and got them. They will never
write about the obtuseness or ignorance
Of that particular operator, but sure as
death they will roast some other opera
tor who mortgages himself to some other
correspondent "Tennis" would never
talk that kind of stuff in the Nassau
Street Press Club rooms, for he knows
the crowd would ring him down with
chestnut gongs but he believes it is good
stuff for the general reader. 1t is not.
The general reader should not be mis-
led for the amusement Of anybody, and
justice to the hardworked operators Of
the monopoly should stay the ruthless
quill of "Tennis" The writer knows
personally a hundred men, many Of
whose names are bright marks in the
journalistic profession, who have climbed
mountains in wildernesses, swan rivers,
tagged belated trains, jumped box cars,
footed it through the morrasses of Lou
isiana and the jungles of Florida,
steamed hundreds of miles on either
coast in winter or summer, invaded
mines, factories, jails and myriads of
places in search of the elusive item OF
news, braved death by assault, and by
sickness, literally faced the devil in his
den for news, and they have, none Of
them, ever berated u telegraph operator.
The operator is hardworked at his regular
business, and the coming OF the stray
newspaper man adds to his labors.
He owes the newspaper nothing, and his
services are the property of the company.
He is frequently annoyed by some sprig
Of the profession classed among it as
"fresh" and he would be more than
human if he did not rebel at the airs and
domineering manners OF some who gain
positions OF trust on the great dailies. All
of the foregoing tends to prove that
''Tennis" got badly "scooped' on the
yacht races, and that is why he writes so
glibly against the wire-pounder.
