PITTsBURG. February "a.
New Theory of Gas Expansion.


To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The gentleman who, in your issue Of the oath,
presumes to enlighten the public on the laws
which govern the pressure and volume of gas
eous bodies must have received his engineering
education in very peculiar school. Accord
ing to his theory cubic foot of gas at press
ure of four ounces expands to two cubic feet
when the pressure is reduced to two ounces,
and to four cubic feet when the pressure is re-
duced to one ounce. This means that one cubic
foot of gas, at one pound pressure, will, at at
mospheric pressure, expand to "32 cubic feet"
If he can only prove this theory correct, the
problem of cheap transportation of natural gas
is solved. A railway tank car filed at say 100
pounds pressure would supply large iron mill
for "a hours.
1t is very unfortunate this important matter
was not discovered sooner. What an immense
amount of money might have been savedl 1t
might be well for the engineer, before he pre-
sumes to enlighten the public, to at least give
some evidence that he is not totally ignorant of
the subject on which he writes.

BEAUTY AND TUE BEASTS.

Fashionable Ladies' TrOIting About Followed
by Huge Bulldogs.
From the New York Sun.1
The fashion which certain women have lately
taken up of trotting about town followed by
huge, heavy-jawed, broad-ehested and savage
looking bulldogs is mainly a bid for sensa.
tionalism. At least three women have become
notorious OF late by reason of their pets. One
Of them is small blonde woman, who goes
shopping and walking on Fifth avenue and
Broadway with one Of the most savage and
brutal looking bulldogs in existence tagging
at her heels. He is a huge animal, and
has fought many battles. The whole Of his
head is covered with scars, and the lips on the
west side of nis jaw have been torn so that they
expose a row Of savage-looking teeth.
Everybody turns to look at the dog and his
mistress, and, as this is the thing the yellow.
haired young lady is looking for, the continued
presence in her train of the bulldog ia assured.
A small woman with a savage bulldog and
big man with small spaniel or terrier are CON-
mon enough sights in New York. 1t seems to
be o striving after contrasts.

"a DEMOCRATIC gerrymander is 'beastly

is great blessing, and insures heavy crops to
the farmers" says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal This is remarkable information from
such source. Previous expressions of the
esUeemed Courter-JourndI were calculated to
produce the opposite opinion. that Demo-
cratic gerrymauder was the last bulwark of the
Constitution, and the only way to preserve the
principles of the fathers in their purity.

INDIANS DYING OUT.
The Red Men of Canadn Fast Disappearing
From the Earth.

OTTAWA. February 25-Mr. George Good
son, interpreter at the Sarcee reserve, south of
Calgary, says that since the payment of treaty
money on November l3 1885, there have been
only two births and three marriages against
nine deaths; in fact, that the tribe
is gradually dying out, the total num-
Der of souls on the reserve at
present being $50. while in 1883 the
reserve was reckoned to have between 900 and
700 on it. OF the older Indians about two
thirds are females, while among the young
ones, the number of males and females are
about equal The disparity in the former case
is accounted for by many braves having lost
their lives in the wars with the Crees, and in
the chase of grizzly bears and buffalo before
the advent of the railway, leaving their wives
widows.
Marriages are not so frequent now as former
ly. The young bucks say that, the buffaloes
and other large game being gone, they have no
work for wives to do in tanning and dressing
buffalo and other pelts consequently they viii
not indulge in the expensive luxury Of two or
more wives

that he did not desire to insist that the discus

the Senate should indulge the Senator from
Texas so that he might make his speech to-

place as unfinished business since the Sd of
February, and he should insist after to-day that
the bill be taken up discussed and its consid-

that the Senate would sit until the vote was
reached.
The bill ought not to block the work of the

When the loved voice is heard no more.
Whose failing tones we're doubly dear,
There falls upon the listening ear
A silence never felt before.

To catch a sound they may not hear;
1t is the grieving spirits ear
That longs ana listens still in vain.

Threads every cry OF joy or fear;

Break with a wailing undertOne.

The 500 people are not afraid Of cutting
deep. and when the Burlington people
attempted to compete for the Eastern
traffic, the 500 simply cut their tariff to
pieces. So unequal was the flght-tne
roads east of Chicago refusing to come
TO the aid of the Burlington-Mr. Ken
Won was forced to drop the 500 line,
and now the latter has practi-
calIv its own way. The 500
claim a differential rate. Whenever
its officials see an attempt by other roads
to meet this differential, down go their
rates. There is no limit to the reduc-
ton they will make to maintain the
control they have secured on Eastern
business, and thus st. Paul-Chlcago
lines have almost ceased to keep the
500 in line. So long as the road does
not go below its own ditferentlal llttle Is
