Progress of the Natural Gas Industry

"Few people outside of the natural gas
region" said large owner of gas wells in
Washington county, Pa, "have any idea
what enormous proportions the gas business
has grown to. 1t may be said to be only
about two years old in Western Pennsyl-
vania, and more than 100000 acre If land
in Washington and adjoining counties have
been drilled with gas wells. Nearly 150,-
600 tons of iron have been used in manu-
featuring the pipes through which 500,-
100000 cubic feet of gas that flow from the
region daily are conveyed to the places
using it. Over $25, 100000 is invested in
the fourteen organized companies that pro-
duce the bulk of the gas. The land and
wells represent an outlay of ST. 100000
The wells now producing are capable of
doubling the quantity now demanded for
light and heat. Nearly 1000 miles of
mains are required for conducting the
supply to consumers. 1t is estimated that
the use of natural gas has displaced
$4,000 tons of coal daily in Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio alone. Besides
the wells controlled by the great gas

The Queen Regent of Spain is knocking
the blue laws of Spanish etiquette to
pieces at a jolly rate. The other day she
called meeting OF the Ministry at the
castle of Aranjuez. When the statesmen
reached the gate of the park they found
the Queen and Princess Isabel waiting for
them. The Queen was in victoria and
the Princess Isabel was in drag and four.

Senior Sagasta to take seat beside her,

seemed to hesitate. In all the annals of

New INVENTION IN CALICO PRINTING.
1.-THE simultaneous process of color
printing promises to entirely revolutionize
some classes of calico, velvet and velveteen
printing, and also the printing of adver-
tisements in eolors. The novel character
of the simultaneous process will be at
once understood when mention that by it,
if required, 1000 shades could be printed
off at one impression. Instead of using
engraved rollers as in ordinary calico
printing, or stones as in the case of
colored advertisements, the designs of
pictures ARE built up in a case of solid
colors specially prepared, somewhat after
the style of mosaic work. A portion is
then cut or sliced off about an inch in
thickness, and this wrapped round cylin-
der. and the composition has only to be
kept moist anu any number Of impressions
can be printed off on calico, velvet or vel
veteen, the colors being thoroughly fast y

METHODS OF LONG RANGE SHOOTING
To the general public the interest in Creed
moor was due perhaps largely to the
picturesque features of the contests. 1t
was a striking novelty to see men shooting
at nearly invisible target, and, in so do
ing, getting into all kinds of awkward, I'M
couth attitudes. The man who made a
bulls eye at 1000 yards received as much
credit for his effort on account of lying on
his stomach as he did for his faultless aim.
And on the other hand, he who missed at
the same distance had sympathy mixed
maybe with condemnation because he lay
on his back and rested the muzzle of his
gun ON his toes. But after a few contests
the novelty of the methods was of not
greater interest than the sport itself, for
people soon familiarized themselves with
the difficulties of long range shooting, they
believed they understood its peculiarities,
and they talked as learnedly about it as
they do now about balloon jibS and rocker
keels.-Ner York Sum-
