Fuel on Large Ocean Steamers.

Ocean steamers consume much more
fuel than the average person is aware of
Take, for an instance, the vessels of the
Orient line, which make regular trips
between Australia and Great Britain
The fastest steamer of that line is the
Austral, which makes the voyage from
London to Sydney in thirty-five days.
During the "trip OUT she never uses
less than $3.50 tons of coal, and on the
return voyage often as much as 1900
tons. She has three coaling stations.
and bunkers that will hold 1850 tons
without overcrowding. English-Amer-
ican ''liners" like the Oregon consume
$50 tons of coal per day for every day
between Liverpool and New York.
The Sterling Castle went to China for
a load of tea. She brought back cargo
of 1900 tons of that staple Chinese COM
modify, but consumed 5000 tons of coal
in making the round trip from Liver
pool. Immense stocks of coal are con-
stantly kept on hand at st. Vincent,
Madeira, Port Said, Singapore and other
oriental coaling statiors, there often be-
ing as much as 100000 tons in store at
the last named place.-London Letter

THE MYSTERY UNRAvsLED.
A Clever Newspaper Man Dlvines the
Reason of a Tremendous Blockade.

What is it,
"WhO Is hurt:'
Anybody been run over:"
"Is it a man in a tit?'
High above the ceaseless rumble and
roar of traffic rose human voices in snx-
ious inquiry. and the dense throng at the
intersection of State and Madison streets
grew denser still. 1t was Just before
sunset, and the mighty heart of Chi
cago's business center throbbed with the
feverish energy that marked the closing
hours of another day of toll, and the
hurrying homeward of restless, eager
thousands. The swiftly moving streams
of humanity that are wont TO meet In
eddyiug whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again,
each in its destined course, had sudden
" become blocked and chaos reigned.
Pushed toward the common center by
the ever hurrying throngs afoot, IN car
riages and in street cars, and unable to
extricate themselves, men, women and
children gasped for breath, and the
crowd in tie streets and on the side
walks overfowed into alleys and surged
hither and yon like the resistless ebb
and flow of mighty sea.
A policeman on the outskirts of the
dense throng climbed lamppost, and
from his elevated position surveyed the
scene.
Give him air. he shouted sternly,
waving his club. ''Give him air!"
Whats the matter?" inquired hun
dred voices as he climbed down.
Il don't know" he answered, and with
gloomy, lowering brow he strutted up
the street, disappeared down short
fight of stairs, from which few mo-
ments later he emerged, wlping his
mouth, and in the same stern, uncom-
promising way he walked a block far
ther and sent in fire alarm.
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madison grew every moment
more appalling and inextricable.
Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through
the crowd, newspaper reporter at last
was seen bearing down toward the cen
ter of the compact mass. Ills nat was
off, his hair flying in the wind, and his
face was deathly pale, but with set teeth
and dilated nostrils he tore his way
along, thrusting to the right and left
every one who opposed his progress.
Reaching the center of the throng he
seized two individuals by their arms, and
in the same resolute, fearless way opened
passage for them to the outside, and,
as if by magic, the vast concourse dis
solved; the converging streams of hu-
manity whirled and eddied as before,
and the business heart of the great city
throbbed again.
The reporter had conjectured rightly
The blockade was caused by two women
who had met in the exact center of the
street and stopped to tell each other the
troubles they were having with their
hired girls.-Chicago Tribune.

The Pottery Tree of Brazil.

The pottery tree, found in Brazil, is
curious and useful One would scarcely
expect to find pots and jars and pitchers
growing in if not on tree, but the ma
terial for them certainly grows in this
tree. 1t is found in the form of silica,
chiefly in the bark, although the very
hard wood of the tree also yields it. To
make this curious pottery the bark is
burned, and what remains is ground to
powder and mixed with clay. - Har-

THE WARNING OF THE CHOLERA.

The news that the cholera reported
in the Vale of Cashmere few days ago
has spread into Persia, and is seemingly
making rapid strides toward the Mediter-
ranean countries, carries with it an i'm
pressive warning to the whole world
against indulging in the vice of public or
private uncleanlineSs. Cholera is essen
TALLY and peculiarly dirt disease. 1t
originates where there is abundance of
filth, thrives wherever such breeding places
are furnished to it by inadequate santa
ton, and dies out wherever it comes in
contact with thorough and complete clean
illness.
1t is this fact which makes the cities of
the Orient so subject to epidemics of this
disease. 1t is also the fact that the ad-
vance of sanitary science within the past
twenty-five years has prevented that dis
ease from spreading far beyond the Med
iterranean basin. If the work of keeping
cities clean is constant and effective, and is
reinforced by vigilant quarantine, Europe
and America need have little fear of the
plague that is devastating the far East.
But if this important work is neglected or
is pursued in lax and careless manner a
loophole may be left open for the enemy
to enter and infiict a great calamity on
civilization.
That reflection applies cogently to sani-
tary work in our city. Although this es-
pecial danger may be far off, it is none the
less a public duty to guard against it and
others, which though unseen may be nearer,
by seeking thorough and proper solution
of the disposition of garbage and the gen.
eral sanitation of the two cities.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-08
THE WORK OF RELIEF.

The Pittsburg Relief Committee report
that money rather than supplies is needed
for the sufferers by the Oil Creek disaster.
Supplies are obtainable in the immediate
vicinity, and the prompt contribution of
funds will secure more immediate relief
than the donation Of goods or food which
must be transported to the scene of the
suffering.
Pittsburg has already made an excellent
start toward meeting this need by sub
scriptionS TO the relief fund, aggregating
nearly $4,000 yesterday. With this des-
ignation of the shape that the sympathy
OF the public should take, the fund will be
promptly swelled by further contribu-
tions. There is good reason to hope that
the generosity of the public will reach its
destination in time to alleviate further
suffering.
The promptitude of Pittsburg in coming
to the relief of Johnstown and the oil
country towns is one OF the alleviating
features of these disasters. Our city's
pride in that record will insure that it is
kent up
