Asbestos for Fire Snits.

The experience of William III. Marvin
with a natural gas flame at Ruthven,
Canada, few days ago, is one that fire
department authorities everywhere should
take into Immediate consideration as fur
nishing clew to additional means OF
fighting that dreaded element. The
stream of natural gas issuing from the
well there caught fire and all efforts to
extinguish the flame were unavailinQ
The heat was so intense that no one
could go near it. Water thrown from
the nearest point of vantage by power
ful engines had no other effect than to
generate great clouds of steam. The roar
of the burning gas was deafening and
IL, 900, 900 feet per day were being con. e.
sumed, while the earth about the well
was becoming baked and so hot that no
one could tread on il. Engineering
skill proved useless TO cope with the mat.
ter and finally reward of $1,000 was
offered to any one who would stop tho
leak. Martin volunteered At first he
tried 10 reach the orifice with long iron
levers, but they melted as soon as they
came near the place where the gas was
burning. Then the young man hit upon
a bright idea. He resolved to walk into
the fiery furnace clad in a complete suit
of that wonderful material, asbestos,
which though fine and pliable as tho
softest silk, will neither be consumed by
fire nor conduct heat. The suit was
made, including a cone-shaped hood with
a glass front TO envelop the head The
first attempt was failure. Before Mar
tin got near the fame he accidentally
dropped his tools on the ground and saw
them turn red hot before his eyes. The
second attempt was successful.
The man came out slightly scorched
and partly suffocated, but otherwise un-
harmed. Asbestos had been his protec.
ton and it can readily be understood
that fire department with employees
equipped in similar clothing would have
immense advantages in fighting fire. -

six por cent. The freight tonnage was bSa-
39S, ,3l7, an increase OF 81, 323, ,505, or ga per
cent.
This interesting computation Is made by
Poor;
THE tonnage-miloagc OF 1887 was 81, 56i,-
069, 900, for transporting when the railroads
received an average rate OF 1904 cents per
ton per mile producing revenue OF
$3.50 600, 2o3 In lSSS the tcnnnge-mileage
was 90 423, ,00S, ,9Ss, which produced an
average revenue per ton per mile OF 907
cent or, In the aggregate 5000, 200, T23. Had
tho rates received I'm 1887 prevailed In 1883,
tho difference of about q mills per ton per
mile would have given tho railroads an In
crenScd revenue of ESQ, 1S9,Si9 sufficient to
pay more thnn per cent. upon the total
amount OF capital stock outstanding at tho
end OF 1888, upon all of the roads contribut-
ing toward this grand aggregate"
IL is shown that the average reduction Ia
freight rates since the close OF the Civil War
has been not less thnn seventy per cent, not
withstanding which the average rate OF
wages paid by the railroads to their opera
tives Is higher now than IL was nt that period.
1T becomes plain, therefore says the
Manual that the immense sums that have
been annually lost 10 tho railroads of the
country by their voluntary reductions
In rates havo been corresponding

calculation Of tho sums saved 10 the public
10y these reductions Ia rates during the past
quarter century would reach far up into the
