The Congressional Bath Rooms.

But the coolest place, says Wash
ington letter, is down in the bath rooms
in the lowest basement ofthe Capitol.
Both the Senate and the House are
provided with the most perfect bath
ing facilities. The bath rooms are
we'll patronized. The tubs are spacious
and of cool, white marble. There are
attendants to prepare the baths and to
rub the statesmen down or wipe them
off if they desire it. Scerted soaps,
bay rum and cooling toilet waters are
at their command. They can get in a
tub of cold water and soak for an hour
if they desire. They can even have ice
in the water if they desire it. They
have the comforts of the world at their
command. It was under such condi-
tions that Mr.. Reagan took his famous
bath, from which he emerged wrapped
in sheet, to vote for the Morrison bill
during the last Congress The over
worked Representatives and overfatted
Senators find luxury in this. am
told of one Senator who sits in the bath
and reads. The men in charge of these
baths are kept busy turning on and off
the water, changing towels and dis
trlbutlng lotions from morning until
night, and even during the night when
there is called an "evening session.

sion which may close at 10 o'clock or

A Great City's Costly Smoke.

The investigations ofa society formed
inLondon to abate the smoke nuisance
afford rather startling idea of the
wasteful extravaganza of the present
system Of combustion. Here is sum-
mary of a late report of the Smoke
Abatement Institute: "The weight Of
the smoke cloud over the city is esti-
mated at about fifty tons of solid car
bon and two hundred and fifty tons of
hydrocarbon and carbonic oxide gases.
From actual tests the value of coal
annually wasted through the obstinacy
of the Cockneysis s2, 257, 500, or AZ per
cent. of the amount actually expended
for coal in London, that being the per-
centage Of heat that escapes up the
chimney without warning anybody.
This waste also causes a useless expendi-
ture of e26S, $50 for carting coal, to say
nothing of the wear and tear of streets
and of e43, 900 more for carting away
ashes. Altogether about s2, ,5O0,0 900 are
yearly thrown away in London. Add
to this s2,oOo,ooo for injury to proerty
from this smoke-laden atmosphere,
and there is shown total of 4,500, 900
which London annually loses because
of it's failnre to burn coal under proper
conditions.

Aaron Burr.
Findlay's Threatened Upheaval.

DR.. Ernst Wessenbacher, Professor
Of Geology in Heidelberg University,
Germany, has just made scientific in
spection of the natural gas wells at
Findlay, Ohio. The Professor says that
underneath the town at great depths
lay mighty cavern filled with highly
infammabie gas under tremendous
pressure. By means of experiments
with delicate instruments, the Profes-
sor has come to the conclusion that at
distance of only one mile below the
great gas cavity which lies under Find
lay fire is raging at temperature Of
nearly $500 degrees.
He made several tests within radius
of three miles, and claims that his first
observations were completely con-
firmed. He says that about twelve
hundred feet below the city of Findlay
lies an immense cavern. It is several
miles long, and in some places more
than half mile deep. This is crowded
full of gas, which is under pressure
almost inconceivable. Then come sew
eral strata Of rock, perhaps a mile in
thickness, and then this great internal
fire. The last of the layers, which lies
directly over the fires, is melting
away. From the tremendous cracking,
which is to be heard by the sound in
strument it is almost certain that dis
integration is going on with great rap
idity, and the Professor seems 10 think
All early catastrophe is not only posi-
ble but probable.

WOULD NOT FISH ON SUNDAY.
Mr.. Cleveland's Presbyterian Education
Stood in the Way, but Others Might.
New York World. !

WASHINGTON, August Gone of the
gentlemen with the Presidential fish
ing party recently off Fire Island tells
the following incident: Saturday night
came, and in two days we made an un-
usually good catch of blue fish. We
sat out on deck coolly clad, smoking
and chatting. Nobody had said a
word about fishing next day, but nearly
everybody had thought about it, and
the opinion had even been expressed
that it would be pity to lose a day,
the very day when fish bite best. Sud-
denly the President leaned back in his
chair, knocked the ashes off his cigar,
and said in his deliberate way Of talk
ing:
Now, gentlemen, what shall we do
tomorrow? Some of you may want to
fish. People do sometimes fish on
SUNDAY, and I don't want to be in the
way or interfere with your preferences.
l don't fish Sundays myself. | was
brought up that way, and never got in
the habit of it: l learned my methods
from the old Presbyterian Church; so
if any of you want to fish tomorrow
I'll 60 ashore in the gig in the morning
and join you again Monday, bright and
early. don't want tQ<Ue N the wav ;"
Of course all protested that they had
no thought of fishing on Sunday,never
did such thing, etc., and Sunday was
nassed IN reading, sleeping and conver-
sation.

HEREDITY IN CRIME.
A Remarkable Family of Counterfeiters by
the Name of Johnson.

WASHINGTON. August 5.-The Sc
cret Service officials are watching with
considerable interest the progress Of the
trial of Charles Johnson at Sarnia, On
tario, on the charge of counterfeiting.
johnson is a member Of Il family which
has been notorious as counterfeiters for
Il quarter OF century. His grand
father was famous counterfeiter in
his day. His father and mother are
we'll known to the police, while his six
brothers and sisters enjoy the distinc-
ton of being among the most audacious
and clever showers of the "queer'' in
the country. The Johnson family lived
for many years in the vicinity of Dun
kirk, n. u, but the present home Of
such as were fortunate enough to keep
out of Jail is in Canada
Charles Johnson was arrested in Feb
ruary last at Detroit, Mich, for coun-
terfeiting five dollar certificates. He
escaped to Canada, where he was az
rested by the Dominion officials for
similar offense against the laws ofthat
country. He is one of the most expert
counterfeiters living. He is a man
about so years Of age, and has spent
half his life in various Eastern and
Western prisons. 1t is expected that he
will be sentenced by the Canadian
courts to a term Of twenty years in the
penitcntiary, in which event he will
probably die there.
The Secret Service official from whom
these facts were obtained was asked if
counterfeiting was on the increase IN
this country. He replied that il was,
but that the probabilities of arrest kept
pace with it. 4 decade ago counter
feiting wasa slowand laborious process.
Eighteen months and sometimes two
years were frequently expended in pre-
paratory work before a single note was
put into circulation. At the present
time, by the aid of the Photographic
and electrotyping process, two weeks is
all that is required. Quite naturally,
the increased facilities for counterfeit
ing, the official continued, is new
branch of the business, which has
sprung up since the resumption Of
specie payments. The principal Of
tenders in this line are Italians, who
seem to lack the skill necessary for the
more delicate work Of bank note coun-
terfeiting.
as it possible" was asked, "for a
man to follow the business of counter
feiting long without detection ?"
NO." was the reply. ''They are
usually apprehended in from thirty to
ninety days"
"Who do they risk the chances of Il
long imprisonment for so slight
gain ?'
because in the first place they are
too lazy to earn an honest living, and
in the second place each thinks him.
self too clever to be apprehended."

ROBERT GARRETT'S ILLNESS.
His Mind is Affected on The Subjects Of Jay

RIcHFIELD SPRINGS, y. y, August
9.-Since the removal of Robert Gar
rett to New York, it transpires that for
ten days proceeding his departure he
gave decided evidences ofinsanity, and
became violent on the subject of Jay
Gould and the sale of the Baltimore
and Ohio telegraph. He was virtually
monomaniac on the question. He
offered newsboy ten dollars to shout
in front of The hotels: "Jay Gould is in

him. 81 believe you're detective sent

so enraged that the reporter fled. His

tai condition.

TIE OLDEST LIVING DEMOCRAT.
Patrick Collins, Aged 1O6, Hopes to Vote
for Cleveland and Thurman.
New York Star.l

The oldest Je1fersonian Democrat of
the country has been discovered by a
Star reporter. Patrick Collins, of Brook
lyn, according to his own statement, is
now lGS years old, and, even at this
advanced age, is intelligent and active.
When Mr.. Collins left his native
county of Monaghan, Ireland, many
years ago, he came to this country as
railroad laborer. For seven or eight
years he kept to this work, until for a
time his health gave way. Neverthe-
less he preserved and succeeded in
keeping in comfortable circumstances
a family Of three daughters and two
sons.
A short time ago Mr.. Collins was
knocked down and run over by an
express wagon in Myrtle avenue. His
youngest son, Patrick, and his wife
cared for the old gentleman as best they
could for time, but finally decided
that he would be much better off for
time with the Little Sisters of the Poor
at DeKalb and Bushwick avenue.
Through the courtesy of the sister in
charge the Star reporter was allowed an
interview with Mr.. Collins. No one
would suspect, from his bearing, that
the old man carries the weight of 106
years upon his shoulders. He is active
in body, and hismind is very clear. He
suffers from deafness, and that defect
evidently annoys and confuses him at
times. Notwithstanding this, how
ever, Mr.. Collins is always affable, and
certainly displayed great interest in the
affairs of the day.
"Yes," he said, ~ can very distinctly
recall, old as am, the times of Wash
ington, though I was notan American
then, and believe I revere and honor
his memory, but during more recent
times, when I was of an age to take a
more active interest in the hopes and
aspirations of the country, Jefferson
was my favorite."
Mr.. Collins isquite a pedestrian, and
even now takes walk every few days.
He says that he will walk up to the
polls in November as brisky as any of
them, and deposit a vote for Cleveland
and Thurman.

about one-half ripe the end of the vine
is bent down and buried in the ground.
This prevents the formation Of seed
