A SUBSTITUTE FOR NATURAL GAS
Being Adopted at Several Glass Works
In or Near PIttsburg.


Glass manufacturers have been be-
wailing the increasing cost and decreas-
ing quantity of natural gas more loudly,
perhaps, than any other people, as the
advantages of gas over coal as heat
producer probably had a greater influ-
ence on the glass business than on any
other, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. But
necessity, the mother of invention, has
brought forth substitute that will not
only take the place of natural gas as to
effectiveness and general results, but
will greatly lessen the cost of produc-
ton. 1t has been known for some time
that secret experiments and tests OF
some kind were being conducted at
the flint glass works of Bryce q Higbee,
at Homestead. 1t was learned yester-
day that M. L. Murphy, the furnace
builder, had perfected a glass furnace
In which gas produced from coal is con-
consumed, and the volume and steadi-
ness Of heat maintained is equal to that
secured by the use of natural gas. The
furnace consists Of deep we'll or eye,
having on either side two or more pro-
ducerS connected with central eye by
channels, the construction OF which i'm
part TO the gas which is ADMITTED
through them spiral or swirling mo
ton, as it aScends toward the top of the
eye. Some distance below the top OF
the eye the gas comes In contact with
heated air admitted through openings
on the side walls of the producer and
heated by the waste heat of the same.
The temperature at this point is about
l, 400 degrees.
Mr.. Higbee was asked yesterday what
the result Of the tests had been. He
stated that they were very satisfactory
and that his firm would adopt this pro-
cess throughout its entire plant. He
said it was also being introduced at the
works of Richard Hartley, of Tarentum,
and the Braddock Glass Company. The
test was made on 13-pot furnace; the
cost for operating this, with natural gas,
at the rate of $40 pot month, would
be 1910 per month, while the cost by the
new process, allowing three cents
bushel for coal, was found TO be little
less than $500 month"; saving OF $500
a month on 13-pot furnace. ''This,"
said Mr.. Higbee, sis certainly a big
thing" The patent which Mr.. Murphy
has applied for through his attorney, j.
II. Roney, has been approved.

ARRESTED AS A SPY.
A Young Man Well known Here in Custody
In Germany

In Germany.
The cable yesterday brought the fol-
lowing item of interest from Berlin:
''BERLIN, September 5.-An American,
giving the name of Carleton Graves, stat
ing his business to be that of photog-
rapher and his address as Columbia, was
arrested to-day at Mayence, charged with
being a spy. Mr.. Graves baggage was
seized and searched and he will be detained
until satisfactory explanation as to certain
actions of his, classed as suspicious by the
German police, are furnished. Mayence is
a fortress in the left of the Rhine, opposite
the mouth of the Main.
ut is walled and flanked with baStions,
defended by citadel and several outlying
forts. A bridge of boats connects it with
Castel, its suburb. In default of more def
mite information and in view of the fact
that Mr. Graves gave his occupation as q
photographer, it is presumed that he may
have been kodaking the Notifications of
Mayence."
The young gentleman placed in this
unfortunate position is son OF MIR.
Robert Graves, of GAINESVILLE, o., and
a nephew of Mr.. Joseph Graves, of this
city, being very well known here. Mr..
Graves, who is about q years Of age,

the Broad street station, Philadelphia,
for q number of years past, and
being an expert amateur photographer,
was sent out by the company last
spring, to make series of photographs
along the line of the railroad. This
work finished, he was given vacation,
and went abroad, taking his camera
with him for the purpose of taking some
views of European scenery. 1t is pre-
sumed by his relatives and friends here
that while ne was bent upon this pleas
urable incident of his tour he was ar
rested as spy.
