Notes.

Rome is to be lighted by electricity by
the first of the year. A motor at Tivoli,
about twelve miles distant, will supply
the power, while the Via Nazionali will
be the first street.Eghted.
In Brockton, Mass, the festive inhab-
itants charter the electric cars for after
noon and supper parties. Boards for a
table are placed on the backs of the
seats in the middle of the car.
The smallest incandescent lamp is
called the grain lamp. 1t is three MILL
meters in diameter by in length. Its
power is that of one candle 1t is used
in surgical and dental operations.
The successful transmission of pow
erful current of electricity from Lauffen
to Frankfort has revived interest in the
suggestion TO send a current of equal
intensity from Niagara to Chicago.
So numerous are the electric launches
on the Thames that floating charging
stations containing dynamo plant ply
up and down the river ready to charge
the accumulators of six launches at once.
A push-switch similar to the push
buttons used in electric gas lighting has
been invented for electric lamps There
are two buttons, the white one lighting
the lamp and the black one putting it
out.
To avoid the kissing In the arc lamp
there has been invented carbon pencil
containing a percentage of alkali sill
cate, which, when burned, forms a con-
Quoting vapor that is said to prevent
the trouble.
A telephone system for use in large
factories has been invented, in which
each telephone has it's own switchboard,
SO that any person can communicate
with any telephone on the line by simply
moving a switch.
An electric wire breaking in a mine
will frequently give forth spark, thus
exploding the dangerous gases. A re-
cent invention is a safety mining cable.
which can be torn apart without spark,
arc or fame.
In London the electric mains are
placed beneath the sidewalks, and to
avoid accidents the manholes are pro-
vided with two covers, each connected
to the earth. The outer cover is thus
rendered harmless.
Several mines in the Connellville re-
giOn in Westmorland and Cambria
counties, Pennsylvania, have been
lighted by electricity recently. The
shafts vary from 100 to nearly 1000 feet
IN depth. Heretofore, owing to the &C
cumulation of fredamp in many of the
mines, it has been difficult to illuminate
them and avoid the danger of causing
fire. The lamps are distributed under
ground throughout the main walks lead
ing to the shaft.

Report on the Free peIirern sxstem

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.-Superintendent Pol
lock, of the free delivery system of the postoffce
department, in his annual report, shows the
number of free delivery Offices at the close of
the fiscal year was SIG, an increase of e5 over
the preceding year. The cost of the service was
9,079,060. which was % 424 less than the appro-
priation. Number of carriers, 10, 1870, an IL
crease OF 1,064 during the year. Number of
piece of mail handled, 1906 354, $50
Considerable attention is given to the subject
OF overtime claims of letter carriers under the
act of May "a 1885, limiting the hours which
carriers shall be employed per day. The prac-
tical result of this act the report states has
been the filing OF enormous overtime claims
aggregating nearly half million dollars, and
this does not by any means represent the
maximum amount Of claims already prepared.
In view of the tendency of the law to create
overtime claims and the certainty, judging from
past experiences that they will arise as the ex-
listing system continues and with the further
unfortunate experience that the law puts a
premium on lettering and inefflciency, instead
OF the opposite, the report suggests certain
notifications Of the law, among them that no
carrier be required to work more than ffty-one
hours in any week of seven days where thsre
is Sunday service, or forty-eight hours where
there is no Sunday service. Also. that carriers
after four years service upon certificate of
faithfulness and efficiency. be promoted from
ST. 600 to 81, 200 per year, and when inefficient or
untitled for active work, they be reduced to a
lower grade

The Val Blatz Brewery Sale,

DENVER, Nov. 3O--ISpecial telegram to THE
HERALD. THE sale of the Val Blatz concern
is the result of negotiations entered into about
year ago when it was decided to consolidate a
number of the breweries of the country under the
name of the United States Brewing company
Chicago. 1t is a part of a scheme for gigan-
tic trust, and at the time the deals were pend
ing ii was the talk OF the city. f1aring
advertisement appeared in the papers inviting
subscriptions 10 the stock of the new company,
saying that the present plant will be better
equipped to meet the increased demand made
upon them by a rapidly growing city. The
object of the United States Company is to con-
troll, as far as possible the business between
Chicago and Denver, and it is stocked for an
amount variously estimated at from S. co.,
0O0 to Sl0,Ct0U00. Other deals are now
pending which, il successful will make
them masters of the situation. The majority
OF the stock is held in Chicago some Is re-
tanned in Denver while the companies entering
the combination are secured by deed of trust
executed by the United States companies in
the sum said TO be equal to the value of the
property they relinQuish to the mercies of the
consolidated concern. English capitalists are
also interested in the trust. 1t is understood
though 1t is not known as a fact, that ether
deals are on foot besides the one Just consum.
mated, thereby placing the new company in a
position were they may dictate their terms to
any rival corporation.

Prince George of Wales is Love-sick.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner-D Dispatch
LONDON, Nov. S0.-It now looks as though
the illness Of Prince George of Wales was
brought on by worry over love affair. The
broad shouldered manly looking prince has, il
seems, fallen in love with the daughter of a
nobleman who has been favorite at Windsor
for years past While at Sandringham last
month the prince went to his father, the Prince
OF Wales and told he had given his word to
marry the young lady. Messages were sent to
the princess, his mother who was then in ST.
Petersburg, and also sto his grandmother the
Queen. The Prince of Wales made very little
objection; he was loath to place any obstacles
IN the way OF his boy IS happiness, but It is said
Shat the Queen Empress and also Prince
Georges mother who had made other arrange
ments, were greatly displessed, and some harsh
messages were sent back to the young man.
This hurt the princes feelings and brought on
fever, which threatened TO end fatally To-
day 1t is said all differences have beeh re-
moved and the prince has been promised that
his royal relations will no longer oppose the
match. The secret wooing twas what gave
onense. As soon as the prince RECEIVERS the
engagement is 10 be formally announced

Mysterious Explosion at Manchester

MANCHESTER, Nov. 5O.-A mysterious explos-
ion occurred in the market at Blackburn a
place thirty miles from here, this morning by
which three buildings were completely demol-
ished. 1t is learned at least twenty persons
were killed. The number of injured is not
known, but must be large. A later dispatch
says before the police could make thorough
search for the dead the ruins. which had caught
fire, were mass of flames, which rendered ap-
proach impossible. 1t is pretty certain every
dead body in the ruins will be burned beyond rec
ognftion. Six persons received serious injuries in
the explosion, but it is difficult at present to
estimate the number OF dead, Later and more
conservative estimates place the loss of life at
ten.
The explosion sho K the whole center of the
town. Hundreds OF windows were smashed
and buildings In the market place shaken to
their foundations The first impression OF the
inhabitants Of the town was that the place had
been visited by an earthquake. and great ex-
citement prevailed. When the true cause of
the shock became known and it was learned
there were many people in the Crown hotel, the
alarm of the citizens was much intensified
Elk sggerated reports were circulated as to the
number of deaths. At late hour tonight
members of the fire brigade were still energet-
ically digging in the ruins So far five persons
have been recovered. One dead body was taken

The Rebellion In China,

PEKIN, Nov. S0.-The government is fully
aware of the serious condition which confronts
it, and every possible step is being taken to
break the strength of the rebels before they get
within striking distance Of the capital. There
is much excitement here among all classes Of
the population, and the authorities believe that
if they can inf1ict defeat upon the rebel forces
it will have good effect upon the people of
Pekin and vicinity. 1t is believed many people
are secretly in favor OF the repeis, but should
the imperial forces do battle with the insur-
gents and defeat them, the malcontents would
then side with the government.
No doubt is entertained that the situation is
dangerous. Should the rebel forces continue
to advance toward the capital in spite of the
efforts of the imperial forces to prevent them.
it is feared By foreigners the whole country will
rise and aid the invaders The garrison of
ShankaikfVan has been sent to suppress other
insurrectionary bodies which are marching in
various directions through the country ey,-
IDENTIFY with the Intention Of joining the main
body.
"a most serious condition of affairs exists
at Takou. AT this place the most brutal out
RACES were committed upon priests nuns and
converts. What action the government will
take in this matter is hard to say That the au-
thorities are in full sympathy with the perpe-
traitors Of these most horrible crimes there
is no reason to doubt The first
reports from Takou state after these fiends
had worked their bloody will on all Christian
men, women and children who fell into their
hands, that they were Toasted by leading
Chinese manderins in the district. It is now
said the local manderins agreed to allow the
rebels free license for the outrage of Christians
provided they did no harm to the other inhabi-
tants These terms were accepted by the
rebels, and they pursued their work without
hindrance. Three hundred Europeans and
native Christians were massacred. 1t is be-
lieved not single Christian in the district
escaped. CONSERVATION prevails among the
Protestant missionaries in the district through
which 1t is expected the rebels will pass. The
local officials at Tsunha have declared they are
powerless to protect missionaries, and that If
they desire to save their lives they had better
seek safety in flight. The missionaries ct
Tsunha have therefore abandoned their sta
tions and sought refuge in safer parts OF the
country
