what q Cincinnati Scientist Says Of

It
In the Cincinnati Timcs-Stdr Of yes
terday there was a column interview
with scientist OF that city in reference
TO the scientific analysis OF the strata OF
deep wells. In opening his remarks he
says:
81 see that there is well at Wheel
ing, w. Va, that has been drilled nearly
TO the depth OF mile" remarked the
Professor with the evident purpose OF
gaining the attention Of his hearers.
This hole, which was drilled for gas
aud oil, has lately been turned over TO
the United States Geological Survey,
which is 70 make tests as to the tenn
perature OF the earth below the surface.
From the general desire that people
have 10 ascertain the condition OF the
interior OF the earth, IL is quite prob
able that advantage Will be taken Of
this good beginning 70 carry the hole
down as far as the drilling tool can
operate.
"Now, we have penetrated the heav-
ems for millions and millions OF miles,
and have obtained tolerably certain
knowledge OF worlds that are situated
at these immense distances from US.
But of the world beneath there are
many conflicting theories. The deepest
boring ever made, unless the hole at
Wheeling is now deeper. was that at
Sperenberg, near Berlin, which pene-
trates only to distance Of 4,172 feet,
about 900 feet deeper than the famous
artesian well at st. Louis.
"Some physicists hold that the earth
Is a solid body, some that it has crust
500 miles thick, but the majority bring
up good reasons for believing the crust
is only from twenty-five to fifty miles in
thickness,

WILL CHANGE HANDS.
The Central Glass House Practically
Sold.

After a great deal OF consideration,
and with some reluctance, the stock
holders of the Central Glass Company
have at last given their unanimous con-
sepItSottp thA~sale of the rnlapt to the
soon as the details are settled, the
formal transfer will be made. The old
stockholders will retain all cash on hand
and all book accounts, while the United
States Company will take the stock Oh
manufactured ware on hand, raw
material, plant, machinery, ETC., at a
valuation to be hereafter fixed upon by
appraisement. The United States Com
pany controlled thirteen table factories,
previous to obtaining the Central.
A stockholder in the Central said yes
terday:
"Some of US were reluctant to see the
control of the Central pass into the
hands of Pittsburg people, recognizing
a possibility that their management
might not at all times be conducive TO
the best interests of the city OF Wheel
ing, but we have such assurances as TO
make it seem best to have the change
made, and all have consented to it,"

THE city council Of Cleveland, after
investigating the cost Of making gas by
the companies of that city, who threw
every possible obstacle in the way of the
investigation, has reduced the price Of
gas from 81 to 60 cents per thousand
feet. This leads the Pittsburg Post to
"wonder what searching investigation
would show to be the actual cost of pro-
ducing gas in Pittsburgh? We have
heard it put as low as 90 cents per 1000
feet" What Pittsburg can do, Wheel
ing. with her excellent municipal plant,
ought to be able to do. also, which leads
us to the query. what is the matter with
substituting artificial for natural gas to
private consumers should natures sup
ply fail us or so diminish that the artifi-
cial gas will be cheaper?

THE LIGHT PLANT.
The New "Circuit Map" Received From
New York--The Power House.

New YOrk--Tho POWER mousse
Yesterday the map of the city con
tanning the new arrangement OF the
electric light circuits, was received at
the City Hall from Electrical Engineer
John A. Seeley, and was placed on ex-
hibition by Secretary Franzheim. The
map is a very large one-about ten feet
in length-and shows the location OF
every light, every wire and every pole
in the city. It's preparation, therefore,
was O matter Of considerable labor.
About fifteen hundred poles are
located, OF which number about
two hundred are on the Island,
five hundred north Of the creek
and seven hundred south of the creek.
There is no change in the number or
location of the lights, from last reports,
about three hundred and eighty-hve
being located, fifty-seven being on the
Island, and the remainder in the city
proper. Every portion of the city is
well lighted.
Bidders on the power-house are figur-
ing on the plans and specifications. The
Commission will probably meet Monday
night TO award the contract.

The Company to Manufacture Fire-Proof
steel Lath-Orsanized and Directors and
Officers Elec ed.
The incorporators and stockholders OF
the Bostwick Fire-Proot Steel Lath
Company met at the Exchange Bank
Yesterday afternoon at three o'clock
and effected q temporary organization
by electing Mr.. J. II. Hobbs Chairman
and Mr.. A. j. Clark Secretary, after
which bylaws were adopted and the
following Directors elected: j. A. Mil
Ter, T. w. Phinney, j. j. Jones, j. IL.
Hobbs, Nj. l.. OFT, A. j. Clark and W.
w. Bostwick. The Directors organized
by electing Col. j. A. Miller President
and Il. w. Fhinney Secretary and
Treasurer.
The location of the factory was discuss
ed and it is more than probable that the
old Bodley Wagon Works, nav owned
by the Red Letter Tobacco Company,
will be the place selected for manufac-
turing the steel lath.
At present the laths are being made
at Cox & Morrson's boiler works, cor
ner of Chaplne and Eighteenth streets,
where the process of manufacture can
be seen by all who may have any in
terest in the project. Any of the officers
or directors will receive subscriptions
to the capital stock of the company.
and furnish all information desired.
The leading men in town are taking a
very active interest in the Bostwick
lath, and the concern promises to be one
of the leading industries Of this section
In a very short time, the company
hopes to turn out the product in great
quantities. The managers and astist-
ants will be selected in the future.

What Local Physician Has to Say on thu
Subject.

1t will be remembered that about q
month or two ago fellow was found
lying on the sidewalk near the Dollar
Savings Bank one early morning bleed
Ing profusely. 1t turned out to De a
commercial traveller who had evidently
been slugged, but who, at all events,
was an inveterate drinker. He had
been an inmate of Keeley's Institute at
Dwight, ILL.,, and in his valise were
bottles of medicine and circulars per-
tanning to the Institute. His love for
drink was apparently as strong as ever,
and as soon as he recovered his personal
effects at police headquarters he made
dive for the nearest saloon. mas
much as the Kelley cure has been dis
cussed so much of late, REGISTER re-
porter asked well-known physician In
town yesterday If bichloride OF gold,
the name given to the Kelley cure was
comparatively new remedy:
II do not know that bichlorlde OF
gold has been used In any way. said
the physician. There is a chloride OF
gold and sodium used by doctor In
Detroit as cure for tuberculosis. He
uses it hypodermically with iodine. AS
far as l know, it is the only one OF the
gold products used extensively in medi'
cine. It's properties, however, have
been studied, and physicians are not
ignorant of its uses. The double
chloride or bichloride of gold is not
mentioned in the United States Phar-
macopeia, 1t Is not Known to the
latest work on therapeutics.
''Can men be cured of drunkenness"
Gas far as curing men Of the alcohol
appetite is concerned, there have been
great many fads. There has been used
with good results various preparations
of strychnia. l have known OF cases
where patients have experienced, by
treatment, a positive distaste for alco-
holc stimulants for months together. l
have known patients to do without a
drink for twelve or eighteen months,
and then experience relapse and die
miserably from alcoholism, as poor
Mines out Ia New York did. The effects
of the medicine continue for while
after patient ceases to take 1t. But IL
wears away. The permanent cure IS
not in sight at the present day. The
temporary relief is no secret as l have
said. DR.. Kelley probably uses power
