Some Big Pipes.

There are two remarkable long distance
transmissions Of power In successful oper-
alton In the United States, though neither
Is an electric transmission and each diff
fers materially from the other. One is the
transmission of oil by pipe line from the
natural oilnelds of New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania to tide water, a distance of
over 400 miles. The other Is the transmits
sion of natural gas, also by pipe line, from
the Indiana fields to the city of Chicago, q
distance of about 1870 miles.
Tn piping of oil, first from the individ-
ual oil wells to storage centers and then
from these storage centers to tide water,
has been a process of gradual development
for the last 80 years. The individual wells
were gradually connected by feed pipes to
larger trunk lines, which carry the oil to
the storage centers.
There are 12 pumping stations along
this line, situated about 30 miles apart.
The pumps operate at a pressure of about
1000 pounds per square inch, and the ca
pacity of the line is about 30, 900 barrels a
day.
The main pipe line Is divided into divi-
sions and sections, much like a trunk rail
way system, and has similarly its division
superintendent and engineers, section
foremen, line gangs and line walkers, tele-
graph stations and daily reports.
The natural gas pipe line is perhaps q
more simple example of long distance pow
er transmissions and bears many striking
points of resemblance to transmission by
electricity. In the Indiana gasfeld about
so wells are in operation, having an aver
age daily capacity of about 5, 900, 900 cubic
feet each. As in the oilfields, SO here
the individual wells are connected by feed
pipes to n supply line, which collects the
gas and carries it to n pumping station.
There large compressors, capable of pro-
ducing and sustaining u pressure of 2, 900
pounds per square inch, force the gas into
the transmission line to Chicago. The
normal pressure carried on this line is 300
pounds per square inch, which admits Of
a daily delivery of from 10, 600, 600 to 49,
GOO, 600 cubic feet of gas in Chicago,
where it is sold at a price much below that
of ordinary Illuminating gas.-S. Dana

Arizona Indians.

An Arizona correspondent of the San
Diego Union gives the following defni-
tions of the names Of various Indian tribes
In that wild and woolly territory and the
habitat of each:
Apaches there are the Tontos (fools) CHR
icahua (mountains), the Mojaves (half
breeds), the Coyoteros (coyotes), the Mes
caleros (mescal e~aters). The Pimas are
on the Gila river; the Maricopas are afili-
ated with the Pimas; Papagoes are bap-
tized Pimas; Yumas are on the lower Col
orado river; Mojaves are on the upper Col
orado river; Moquis inhabit the Indian
city called by the Spaniards the City of the
Buffalo and described by the poet Southey
as descendants of the colony of Madoc,
prince of Wales, who sailed west in the
twelfth century with several ships and
never returned. These are by far the most
interesting Indians in Arizona. They have
visited Salt Lake, U. t., and converscd
with Welsh Mormons, but the idiom is
much changed in all these centuries. There
was a tradition that they had a Welsh BIZ
BILE, but it has not been found.
The Yavapais are mountain Indians, in
the northern part of the territory, in va
vapai county; the Hualapais are a noun
tain tribe on the Santa Maria; the Supais
are "a emnan of the cliff dwellers, near
the canyons of the Colorado river; the Co
copas water Indians) are on the Colorado
river in eastern San Diego county and
Mexico; the N~avajoes (knifers) are IN
the northern part Of Arizona and New
Mexico
