The Engineer and Mining Journal is
authority for the statement that, while
there has been & temporary increase in the
flow of natural gas in the Pennsylvania
fields during the past few months, the out
put of the Indiana and northwestern Ohio
fields has continued to decrease at an alarm
ing rate 1t is aid that not more than one
tenth of the fac cries in the latter district
are now using natural gas, and so uncer-
tain has the supply become that many pri-
vate families are returning to the use of
wood and coal for fuel. From present in
dications the western Pennsylvania fields
will outlast those of Ohio and Indiana.

The Ne,r astronomy.

The instrument the new astronomy is
the spectroscopa. al the novelty of it's use
lies in this That, waHrcas it was formerly
used to ascertain the chemical constitution
Of the stars, it is now being used to deter
mine their movements. Sir Robert Ball,
the Irish astrCnom"r, by the by, tells us
that ''the ordinary preston, fixed star,
is misnomer. When the place of star
has been accurately determined by meas
urement made with the meridian circle,
and when after the lapse of number
of years the place of the same star is
again determined by observation, it fire.
quently happens that the two places
disagree. The explanation is that the
star has moved in the interval. And it
Is infinitely improbable that any really
fixed star exists" The usual method of
determining the movements of stars is
by the telescope and the meridian circle
But there are some movements, Sir Robert
points out, which cannot be thus measured.
These are the cases when a star happens to
be darling directly toward the observer or
directly from him. In such cases the tel
escopic method is inapplicable, because the
observer would not notice any change in
the stars position. 1T is just here that
the spectroscope comes in to fill the vacant
place in the armory Of the astronomer"

THE GORILLA WHICH ''sOT FOR HIS PICTURE"
The special characteristics that distin-
guish the gorilla from the similar apes,
such as the Orang-outang, the chimpanzee
and the gibbon are, says The Popular Sci
ence News, indicated in the picture and
comprise the black or grayish hair, the
slightly prominent nose, the excessively
large nostrils, the slightly projecting lips,
medium sized ears and relatively short
arms. The gorilla does not bear captivity
well and the lew that have been brought
from their native Africa have soon died.

craving was at last accounts IS II living at

The chimpanzee is, among all the other
anthropOid apes, the one which comes

The Manufact urers' Gazette calls atten-
ton to n new method of handling fine coal,
which in remov ng it from mines and ship
ing piles employs a powerful blast of air.
The fine coal AMI dust is conveyed into a
hopper which feeds the material into the
blast pipe. supplied with a powerful cur
rent of air from a rotary blower. The
method is said to be simple, clean and
economical. 1t is chiefly adapted for han
ding the refuse of bituminous mines.
