NATURAL GAS DID 1T.
The Real Secret of the Abandoning of the
Rock Island Glass Plant,


As long ago as February last there
appeared in trade journal published
in Chicago the following relating to
the future movements of the United
Glass company. which recently de-
termined to close down its plant in
Rock Island:
President Catlin. of the United
Window Glass company, is reported
as follows, in an Ottawa, H.. paper,
which definitely settles the move
ments and intentions oil that corpor-
alton for some time to como. at
least:
lit is true that we have been fig-
uring on a great many changes and
have at last decided upon plan of
action. We have been granted the
natural gas franchise on several
thousand acres of land at Alexandria.
IN the natural gas belt of Indiana.
The promoters of a new town have
also given us several acres of land on
which to locate our factories and we
shall at once begin the erection of a
tank house and furnace at this point
One tank will be erected this summer
and put in operation with the open
ing OF the fall of 1898; another will
be built during the spring of 1894,
and we expect to make these works
the central figure of the United COM
pany's industries.
"Perhaps the most unfortunate
condition of affairs is the fact that we
are obliged to abandon several of our
works. All that is not movable of
the factories at Bowling Green,
GAINESVILLE and Revenna. Ohio; Wells
boro and Blossbrug. Pa: Durham
vile, Dumbarton, Burnhard's Bay,
and Clyde, n. Y, will be abandoned.
IhIS VIII, of course. concentrate 4
great many laborers at the new town
OF Alexandria. which was started
about a year ago. and now has over
1000 population. In addition to the
franchises and realty grantings al
| ready mentioned. we have been
given sidc-tracks TO three trunk lines
of railroads and many other advan-
| tages that make the move one of
| necessity with us. You can say en-
phatically for me, though, that the
| Ottawa and Streator works will re-
main intact, and that no change will
occur unless it be to increase the
output. While l personally regret
very much that LaSalle county could
not have secured this prize, it was
out of her reach because she did not
have natural gas"
And then, again, in the April num-
her of the same periodical there APP

The Towar of silenoa.

The Parsees will not burn or bury
their dead, because they consider dead
body impure, and they will not suffer
themselves to defile any Of the elements.
They therefore expose their corpses to
vultures. One sees nothing but the
quiet, white robed procession (white is
mourning among the Parsees) following
the bier to the Tower of Silence. At the
entrance they look their last on the dead,
and the corpse bearers-a caste of such
carry it within the precincts and lay
it down, to be finally disposed of by the
vultures which crowd the tower.
Meanwhile, and for three days after,
the priests say constant prayers for the
departed, for his soul is supposed not to
leave the world till the fourth day after
death. On the fourth day there is the
Uthanna ceremony, when large sums of
money are given away in memory of the
departed. The liturgy in use is series
of funeral sermons by Zoroaster.
Of superstitions the Parsees have had
more than they retain. Connected with
burial is the popular conception as to tho
efficacy of a dogs gaze after death.
Dogs are sacred and supposed to guide
the souls of the dead to heaven and to
ward off evil spirits; hence it is custom
ary to lead a dog into the chamber Of
death, that he may look at the corpse
before it is carried to the wer.-Nine-
teenth Century.

The coidest Cold.

The science of chemistry, like that
Of geography, has Its undiscovered north
pole, Four hundred and sixty-one de-
grees below the freezing point of the
Fahrenheit thermometer (--274 degree
o. lies mysterious, specially indi.
Gated degree of cold which science has
long been gazing toward and striving
to attain, wondering meanwhile what
may be the conditions OF matter at this
unexplored point. Its existence has
long been indicated and its position es-
tablished in two different ways-viz,
the regularly diminishing volume of
gases and the steady falling off of the
resistance made by pure metals to the
passage through them of electricity un-
der increasing degrees of cold.
This point, tc which both these proc
esses tend as an ultimate, is called the
zero of absolute temperature. By more
than one eminent observer it is supposed
to be the temperature of interstellar
space, the normal temperature of the
universe. Whether or not this suppo-
sition be correct, the efforts which have
been made and are still in progress to
reach this degree of cold have been many,
diverse and ingenious, the equipment Of
the explorer being not boats, condensed
foods and the general machinery of ice
exploration, but all the varied resources
of mechanics and of chemistry which
can be combined to compass the ex-
tremest degree Of cold. Mcclure .

Neu nuildinr n1atarial.

A new kind of building material as
proposed substitute for ordinary stone
or brick is now receiving special in
dorsement on account of its freedom,
under various and repeated tests, from
the usual liability to crack or fracture.
To insure this property, with the other
essential adaptations, silicic acid is
used, powdered and cleansed from all
impurities. Five to ten per cent of this
is mixed in warm river or rainwater
and this is applied to slaked or we'll
burned lime, or added to hydraulic lime,
the resulting product being mixed with
sand and small portions of fiuorspar.
This mixture is cast into molds, in
various shapes as may be desired, and
after removal the castings are left to
dry from 12 to "a hours, which brings
them to condition as dry as atmos-
pheric air. In this state they are brought
into a steam boiler and steam blown
through so as to drive out all air, after
which the boiler is Theoretically sealed
up and steam let in under pressure
of 10 atmospheres. In this high pres
sure steam bath the stones remain for
4S to 72 hours, afterward being submit
ted to bath of boiling and saturated
chloride of calcium for 9 to 10 hours,
also under a pressure of about 10 at
mospheres, in the same boiler, and the
condensed water may be used for the
bath. The stones are allowed to dry
in the open air, or, more quickly, by
circulating steam inside the boiler after
the chloride of calcium has been with
drawn and prior to taking out the stones.

ELECTIONS IN CORSICA.
The Loss OF q Life or Two Apparently Not
of Much Account.

of Much Account.
The elections for the council general
were going on all over the island of Cor
sica. The canton of Soccia comprises
several villages, among others Quagno,
noted for its famous mineral springs
and also for the turbulence of it's people.
The elections took place in each village,
and on the morrow the presidents of the
several bureaus were to meet at Soccia
for the formal declaration of the poll.
In consequence of certain disorders that
had already occurred, the mayor of Soc
cia issued an edict to the effect that none
of the inhabitants of Guagno was to en-
ter the village that day.
The inhabitants of Guagno chose to
ignore this order, and 60 Of them, all
armed, and all angry that their candi-
date had been defeated, marched upon
Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two
eundarmes--not armed--had been placed
at she entrance Of the village and warned
the advancing troops that they were tc
come no farther. The mayor of Guagno
cried "Firel" There was general vol
ley from his followers, and the two gen
darmes fell dead. "They both bore ex-
cellent characters. One Of them had been
"a years in the service, had been proposed
for the military medal and leaves wife
and three children"
Such was the first account in the daily
paper of Bastia. 1t occupied about seven
inches of one column. The next day the
editor had had time to reflect (or he, too,
may possibly have had a significant
warning), for in an article three inches
long the account was somewhat quail
fed, and there was this important emen-
dation, sit seems we were not correct in
stating that it was the mayor Of Guagno
who gave the order to fire upon the gen.
darmes."
The third day there were just two
lines, "In consequence Of the unfortu-
nate affair at Soccia it is probable that
the mayor of Guagno will send in his
resignation" That was all. took in
the newspaper regularly for week, for
was curious to see how the affair would
end. but there was nothing more-ap-
parently no inquiry, no prosecution Of
the offenders. Contemporary Review.

promptly, but never coin did the ram
bring forth.
~ knew twas all nonsense, . walled
the widow, and that was all the COM
fort Olaf got.
Without another word he sped back
to North Wind and told him the ram
had proved absolutely worthless. He
had come now to demand his rights, he
said.
Upon my word, you're a plucky
lad, exclaimed North Wind. "Well,
the best can do for you now is to give
you the stick IN yeilder corner. 1t may
be Of some use to you. If you say, My
stick, do your dufy, ssitSwill go on strik-
ing until you say, MY stick, be still. .
With many thanks Olaf started for
home. As he passed the inn where he
had lost his treasures, he thought it
might not be bad thing to stop there
once more. So he went in. threw him
self down on bench and was soon
snoring loudly.
The landlord quickly spied the magic
stick, and taking it for granted it
might be worth as much to him as the
cloth and ram be had taken from the
same guest he found another stick that
looked like it to leave in its place.
But as he laid hands on No b Winds
gift, Olaf, who was only T. nding to
be asleep, started up, crying.
MY stick, do your duty"
Then the stick fell to beating the
landlord, who tumbled headlong over
benches and tables, shrieking and
screaming:
For mercy's sake, bid this stick be
still, or 1t will beat me to death. Stop
it--for PHYS sake stop it, and I'll give
you back your tablecloth and your
ram"
AS soon as Olaf thought mine host
had been well punished he said quietly
my stick, be STILL
At once the magic stick ceased from
its labors, and the landlord restored the
stolen goods to their rightful owner.
Olaf put the tablecloth and the stick
in his pocket, and fastening cord to
the rams horns led it home in triumph.
North Wind had paid handsomely
for the -four, and the widow and her
son lived in peace and plenty all their
days.--Auber Forester in Philadel-
phia Press.

Eccentricities In Palaces.

The King of Siam, who, according to
late reports, has had a palace construct
ed which no can submerge il the sea at
will and so live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch who
has indulged in eccentricities of this
sort.
For instance, history has preserved
the memory of the ice palace built by
the Russian Empress Anne, who pun
ished several Of her dainty courtiers by
compelling them to pass the night in
this great chamber of state, where they
were almost frozen to death.
The Gar Paul, ancestor Of the present
Emperor of Russia. constructed room
formed entirely Of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking to and FROM full
uniform-a singular taste for the ugliest
man in Russia.
One of the native princes Of Java
cooled his palace by making stream
fall in cascade over the gateway, and
the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed be-
side his dinner table a life size figure of
tiger devouring an English officer, the
roar of the beast and the shrieks of the
victim being initiated by hidden machin-
ery.-Harper's Young People.

Triple pillar Saw Frame.

+ Among the recent mechanical con.
structions of note is triple pillar saw
frame, conveniently designed to occupy
a space not much wider than an ordina-
ry vertical log frame. In carrying out
this plan the cross girder, which carries
the saw frame and the crank shaft bear
ings, is in one piece, the whole being
supported on three turned pillars, on
which by means Of screws connected by
suitable gearing they are raised and
lowered together. In order to limit the
distance between the pillars as much as
possible, the connecting rod is attached
to the saw frame that is farthest from
the crank shaft. There is bell crank
and fywheel at each end of the crank
shaft, which enable the machine to work
steadily at high speeds without excessive
vibration. New York Sun.
