IA. b. Manton. secretary and treasurer
OF the company that is putting in the
axle grease factory at this place, arrived
In the city on yesterdays passenger
from Akron, Ohio, and will remain in
the Hills about ten days visiting the
different points Of interest. Mr.. NJ. in
form rs that the machinery for the fac
tory has not all been manufactured, and
that 1t would probably require months
time to complete it. The boilers are al
most completed, and will be shipped in
about two weeks. Great care has been
taken in the selection of the machinery,
and to this fact the delay is mainly due.
The company have unbounded faith in
the success of the enterprise, and will
do everything in their power to put
the plant in operation at the earliest
practicabl day.

CUT The sTEERAGE RATES.
Hamburg Line Also Comes Down
to $40.
Rumor that . $3.50 Rate to Liver
pool May BE Made.

The Hamburg American line made
another cut In steerage rates this morn.
ing by reducing the price of a steerage
ticket to Southampton by express steam
ship from SIS to SO. This is the rate
that has prevailed on the American
line for several weeks. and that com.
pany has had more business than II
could accommodate, and has had to turn
over Its -English-speaking passen-
gers to the German lines and pay their
rates.
The American line people say that the
cut by the Hamburg VIII be an advan.
tage to them, as 1t will enable them to
dispose OF their surplus traffic to an.
other company without loss.
The Hamburg line has been carrying
steerage passengers to Queenstown for
six weeks past, and for week to
southampton also. The business became
so heavy that they had to cut II off

The $40 rate to Southampton has drawn
much trade from Liverpool, and the

this, at least. none that have seen. We
called some natives and showed them the
fungus. and they cried out 'Chinga, the
name for spirit. and seemed very much
in fear OF it."
Not Yet Explained.
In Italy a plant, agaricus olearius is
fourd on the trunks Of olive trees. that
often emits q bright light Of blue tint
that is SO vivid that sometimes 1t can be
seen in the daytime.
The remarkable feature Of these lights
is that SO far a satisfactory explanation
has not been given. In some experiments
made the light was extinguished when the
temperature was lowered to certain ue-
gree but when the temperature was IN
creased the light reappeared. When kept
below freezing for long time the hghI-
emitting power appeared to be destroyed.
1t cleaned brightly under water, ana a
thermometer buried In 1t was not aHecteo
In the slightest; SO here was light without
heat.
Upon one occasion the miners In Car
diff coal-mine reported that when their
lights went out in a certain portion OF the
mine that had not been used for some time
they saw strange lights, and not few or
the men believed them to be the disem-
bodied spirits of miners who mad been
killed some years before. The story was
circulated through the press. and at last
was seen by a botanist. who entered the
haunted mine at night and pronounced the
ghosts the light from a plant that was
growing upon the wall There was appar-
emily some reason for the excitement
among the superstitious and ignorant coal
ers, as the light assumed a strange shape
and could be seen at a distance OF sixty
feet.
Some of the most beautiful, or rather
aesthetic displays of luminosity in plant
life have been observed about flowers. The
daughter of Linnaeus, the great naturalist,
was one of the first to observe 1t about the
nasturtium. having seen sparks of light
about the blossoms. This is especially no.
ticeable about yellow flowers, as the sun
flower, marigold, yellow lily. and others;
and while 1t has been ascribed to cleo
tricity there appears to be as much mys-
terry about the real cause as about the
light of fungi.
