The Natural Gas Supply.

In conversation the other day with Mr..
William Finn, of Pittsburg, one of the
most expert and experienced natural gas
men in the country, the subject of natural
gas supply came mp, and Mr.. Finn stated
that he is positive the supply is not
lessened any, and that there is no danger
that it will be. He says that of course the
wells are bound to give out some time, but
it is only necessary to sink new ones or go
deeper. His opinion is that we have only
begun 10 experience the benefits of natural
gas, and that several future generations
will not see it exhausted.

has been found in Ohio county, ont neal
the State line, which assays from $40 to
$40 per ton. A company has been formed
to develop the mine and it will at once

WELCOMING RELEASED CONVICT

The British Prime Minister is greatly dis
turbed in spirit by the preparations for well
coming tho released political prisoners. He
dcprecates triumphal professions in England
in honor of Mr. OBrien and the imprisoned
Irish members He insists that the country
ought to look with disfavor upon all demon
STATIONS for transferring law-breakers as
heroes and martyrs. From the Unionist point
of view he is justified in denouncing the pomp
and ceremony with which English Radicals are
bent upon honoring the released political con-
yicts. The Coercion Act which Mr.. Balfour
has been enforcing with relentless hand is for
the time being law for Ireland and Her Maj
csty's jealous subjects, who arc planning tri-
umphal arches, political professions and public
dinners in commemoration of the sacrifices
and patriotic services of the imprisoned men,
bers. arc unquestionably arraying themselves
against the authority OF the Crown. The
Prime Minister may well be alarmed by these
projected demonstrations. II the leaders of
the Opposition identify themselves with this
public welcome extended to the Irish members,
they will make courageous stand on English
soil against the principle Of coercion in the
island They will prove that Crown law in
Ireland is not English but only Tory law.
Such demonstrations as these will bctolen
an anomalous state Of public opinion in Eng
land. For many years arrest and imprison-
ment for political or agrarian offences have
not involved disgrace in Ireland. Popular
sympathy has been with the suspects and the
conyicts. Professions of admirers headed by
priests have escorted them from the jails when
they have been released; they have been
looked upon as patriots suffering for the cause
Of the oppressed tenant; and tho law under
which they have been deprived Of their liberty
has been denounced as tyrannical. Irish pub
lie opinion has been arraycd against force legis-
lation generation after generation, and was
never moro hostile to it than at present. Eng
lish public opinion, never before divided on
this question of enforcing Crown law in the
island, is no longer unit. The Opposition is
wholly in sympathy with the island in its pro-
test against government by force. The Union
lists alone sanction the policy of coercion which
has been tried with disastrous results for three
or four centuries.
English Liberals would not be now contem-
plating the propricty Of welcoming law-brealz-
ers and convicts il distinctively political use
had not been made of the Coercion Act The
Elan OF Campaign Whlch Nr. " Drieh duVo-
Gated has been justified by the recent decree of
the Land Commission reducing judicial rents
everywhere in Ireland. The Irish member has
been imprisoned and attempts have been made
to degrade him for his completely with an illegal
conspiracy to effect results which are now
legally sanctioned. His associates have been
sentenced to Jail for publishing newspaper re-
ports Of League meetings. These are not and
cannot reasonably be regarded as heinous
offences against law and morals.

snow, parents are likely to lose sight OF the
necessity for thorough and systematic train
ing in athletic sports. The boistcrous romps
of boyhood simply serve to carry oil that
cxuberance of spirits which every youth Should
have as birhright. Regular and improving
bodily development is TO be secured only by an
application of the principles of athletics ac-
cording to the ascertained needs of the system.
How this is to be done should be part of the
work Of every schoolmaster. The professional
sporting man has done much TO retard the
growth of that national interest in sparring,
boxing, pedestrianism and other forms of
physical culture which is necessary for their
general employment, but the tendency of civ
ilized society everywhere is toward the dis
enlargement of the plug-ugy. He is on the
wane, but no matter how long there remains
enough that is gross and blackguardly in
society for him TO live upon, his existence
should not be permitted to interfere with the
growing taste for physical sports.

poiitan Board Of Works, which has control OF
sanitary matters and public improvements gen.
orally in London. The Boards recent steps in
the direction OF making the theatres safer have
brought out the fact that one Of its attaches,
an assistant architect has been in the habit OF
extorting tickets by the wholesale from theatre
managers The assistant architect however,
has been whtcwashed' by his superiors, in
spite of the dcnunciations of the newspaper
press. Evidently "pulI' is as effective in
London as in some American cities, if not more
so. There is a point beyond which official
bodies here dare not 60 in defiance of puolic
opinion. This episode in London, it is pos
sible may lead to a radical reform, which
seems to be sorely needed.

ATHLETICS IND HEALTH.

Our esteemed contemporary, The Boston
Herald" gives up large portion of its Sunday
edition to discussion by number of eminent
men of those sports and pastimes that are use
full in developing the physical health of young
people. Interest in this subject is compare
lively recent, though it has now firmly taken
hold Of the popular mind. Athletics has be-
come as important branch of study in inst
class college as mathematics and skilful in
structors are employed to guide students in the
use of the paraphernalia of the gymnasium.
Exercises are not only practised scientifically
but they are selected with careful regard to the
Students condition and carried out to just the
extent that is most likely to result in his i'm
provement. He is not permitted wholly to fol-
low out his own unrestrained or uneducated
tastes. He is made to understand what he
needs as well as how to practise it.
In the vigorous remarks quoted from Mayor
Hewitt both a confession and a sermon are
included. 81 am a physical wreck" says the
Mayor despondently, land l ought to have
been in my grave ten years ago. l be-
lcve that would to-day be strong hearty
man if | had early acquired and consistently
practised reasonable athletic exercises" In
his Official lie Jne MdyOr ncieHci odihS h"i
acts like physical wreck, and he unquestion-
ably differs from his felow-citizens in his allu-
sion to that disagreeable place, the grave. He
is still brisk young fellow with lots Of fire
and force in him. We dare say that were the
matter presented to him in the light Of posi-
tive duty, he would brace up and make a
rafting Presidential canvass. He would write
letters and make speeches in a way calculated
TO amaze the somewhat sluggish individual
who now holds the reins of government. Never
thelcss, the point he makes is good one. 1t
is not all of life to live long. The great thing
is to enjoy with real. keen relish every moment
as it flies, and no matter what may be mans
surroundings or occupation he cannot be merry
with the govt. Dyspepsia is utterly subversive
Of placidity, and even love is emblttered by
bilious stomach.
1t may be laid down as a principle that no
man is fairly started in life,-no, nor woman
either for we hold to our wcll-knOwn theory
that both sexes arc equally entitled to know
whatever is worth knowing,-who is not taught
the science of bodily health. Because boys

will be glad to see fu,ther concentration on this
subject Why shouldn't the President OF the
United States set the fashion In male attire, rather
than q gentleman Of German descent who lives
in London? Mr.. Clevelands personality does not
seem altogether promising for marked success In
this line. The tailor's statement that ne measures
ffty-six inches around the waist and forty-seycn
around the chest is perhaps dscouraging. But
much can be done to overcome natural obstacles
by persistent effort. We shall soon know what
can be expected of Mr. Cleveland In the way OF
leading the styles. He is to have dress sun
that is to be constructed regardless OF expense
and is expected to be the finest dress suit ever
made in this country The opportunities Tor ois-
play In connection with dress suit have usually
been supposed to be so limited that the result OF
this experiment will be awaited with impotence.
The discovery that vestibule train running
twenty five miles an hour can emerge from col
lision without serious damage suggests Important
possibilities Ii the vestibule system affords
such protection to life and limb, 1t ought to be
adapted to general use. Is there any serious OBJ
-stacle in the way?
