The bursting OF a Steam Pipe in New York
Hotel Fails to Create Fanic.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Oct. ga small steam
pipe not connected with the regular
heating apparatus of the Hotel Imperial
blew off without asking leave last even
ing, and the scene that followed was
very interesting. This hotel is
doing rushing business just
now, and women make up a
large percentage of the guests. AS
a womsn's restaurant is on the ground
floor. The customers must pass through
the Office to reach it. AT Gals last even
ing queer sizzling noise was heard be-
meath the restaurant. It was fol-
lowed moment later by dense
volume of steam that rolled up
the stairs leading from the kitchen and
in few moments completely filled
the dining room. Thence it escaped into
the corridor and even crawled up two
elevator shafts to the top floor. At the
same time the electric lights became
very dim. The band stopped playing
very abruptly aud the musicians rushed
out into the office, but the guests
were far more deliberate. Al
first they only seemed simply
surprised, but as the fog enveloped
them. hiding from their eyes even the
viands on the plates before them, they
concluded that it was time to get out.
That they dad. Even then, however,
their retreat was dignifed. A tell,
swell-looking man who noticed all
these things said: Americans are
wonderfully calm and self-contained.
If this had happened in French hotel,
half the women would have been out in
the streets before this yelling MURDER
The fog had hardly cleared away be-
fore the guess we're back at their tables
again, plying knives aud forks as though
nothing had happened.

ANOTHER THEORY BRO4CRED,

ANOTHER THEORY BRO4CHED.
Theories and fond conoeits are con-
stantly being exploded or snuffed
out. One theory that has held the
boards for years, aud that has been re-
ceived by scientists and the public as
well, has been vigorously attacked by
one Professor MeaCher. The professor
tells us that the destruction OF forests
has nothing whatever to do with failure
OF the water supply in Western streams,
aud that the decrease in the volume of
those streams is due to another and
wholly different cause, to-wit: the ex-
tensive opening of irrigating canals in
the West, which in many instances dry
up certain rivers and streams, except in
the flooded seasons.
There is without doubt a great deal in
what the professor says about irrigation
ss a cause of reduced streams, the
more especially us he claims that Tiers
has been no decline IN the fall of rain or
snow in the past ten years-rather al iu-
crease, as the records in the weather
bureau show. 1t is well know that the
Red river is nothing more than bed OF
dry sand over The greater part of its
course, for several months in the year;
and that the opening of irrigation canals
a ong the Pecos and the Rio Grande is
gradually robbing those streams of their
water supply. The time Is not far dis
tant when there will be less water in
either Of those rivers than in the stock OF
q jerk-water railroad. What is true of
them may also be said of the Missouri,
and other considerable streams having
their sources in the Rock mountains.
Owing to the vast area drained by it,
the Missouri will always be consider
able stream, but the volume OF water in
it has, without doubt, been greatly re-
daced in late years.
Whether Professor Measher's theory
will account for all the phenomena as
slciated with the water supply in the
West, viii be determined perhaps by the
