DISCOVERED A LOST ART.

Pittsburg Ironworlers Successfully Weld
Copper tn Iron and Steel.
PITTsBURG, Aug. l2.-George Crom-
ley, Cornelius Shay and John Ryan,
ironworkers, have discovered the lost
art of welding copper.to iron or steel.
They show several samples of the met
ais perfectly welded. The last record
history gives Of these metals having
been welded was in Scandinavia, 500
B. G. The value of the discovery
comes in the fact that copper offers
greater resistance to the action Of salt
water than any other metal. The Car
negie company has offered the men
fixed price for the secret. A shop has
been fitted up for the men at the
Homestead plant where the men pro-
pose to weld plate Of copper to an in.
got of nickel steel armor plate. The
Carnegie company hopes to be able to
cover all armor plates for the big
battleships with copper.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 10. Senior
Calderon, consul for Salvador, is on
the warpath, and seeks the blood Of M.
Casin, president of the Central Ameri-

challenged Casin to duel. and the
latter has signified his intention OF
fighting the consul. While Casln was
in company with Consul Ballen of
Ecuador, Calderon passed them on
Kearney street and sneered at Casin.
The latter rushed after Calderon and
begged him to follow him, that they
might fight it out. Instead Calderon
sought the protection Of big police
man and declined, the invitation.
Then Casin called him coward, u
bob.tailed yellow dog and other un-
pleasant things. Still Calderon
Would Not Fight,
and went home under guard Of the po-
liceman. Later. however, us Casin was
dining with General Ezeta a messen.
ger arrived with q challenge from Cal
deron to deadly combat. The message
also assured Casin that he (Calderon)
was his friend, and -thdt Casin's mis-.
taken friendship for Ezeta was all that
came between them. Casin said he did
no think it would be necessary to fight
Calderon with deadly weapons. His
fists would be sufficient. Calderon and
Casin were formerly intimate friends,
but when General Ezeta arrived
trouble began. Ezeta is Calderon's
bitterest enemy. while Casin has be-
come very intimate with the fugitive
warrior.

The Pressure Has Decreased Materially -
syn Nearly All The Fields HI 5
= WASHINGTON, Aug. ~ The natural
gas industry is fully reviewed in the,
annual report Of the geological survey.
The important gas fields now are those
of Western Pennsyl vania, Western
New York, Northwestern Ohio and
Central Indiana, but gas has been
found in commercial quantities also in
Arkansas, California, Illinois, Iowa.
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana South
Dakota. Tennessee, Utah, West Vir-;
ginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The highest actually observed pres
sure Of the gas has been about 500;
pounds to the square inch, closed pres
sure. In all districts the pressure has
decreased steadily and materially.
Heretofore natural gas could be;
easily carried in pipe for long distances
under its own pressure, but now in
most places, artificial means must be
used to drive it to the place where it is
needed.
No statement Of the amount of nat
ural gas consumed has ever been given,
and the report says it is not possible to
make one. The amount has been
greatly reduced within the last few
years by the cutting off of the enor-,
nous waste that existed, while i'm.
proved appliances have doubled the ct.
ficiency of what is used. The total
value Of that consumed in 1894 was
nearly ia, 600, 900. This is asteady de-
crease from 1883, when the value was
322. 500, 600.

reaches the Japanese legation that the
new Japanese minister at .Pekin has
begun the negotiation Of treaty q
commerce and navigation with China,
and that every thing is moving smooth-
~ without the difficulties that had
been contemplated. This new treaty
follows the treaty of peace made af
Simonoseki, which briefly recited that
when peace was fully restored new
commercial treaties will be formed. u
is an important document, as it gives
in detail the terms on which Chinasis
to be opened to commerce, whereas the
peace treaty recited only the general
fact. The negotiations have pro
ceeded far enough to show that Japan
will have the
- Favored Nation Clause
as to commerce. This will be the first
time China has granted this clause to
Japan. 1t assures to Japan the lowest
rate Of duty on articles sent to China
that the latter country exaots from any
other country. 81 a&
Japan is thus placed on equal terms
for the first time with Great Britain,
the United States and other great pow
ers. Another feature of the treaty is
the estab ishment OF Japanese consular
courts in China for the trial of Japan
csc. This is to insure the Japanese
against the crude judicial system and
harsh punishments of China, and is
similar to the consular courts that
other leading nations maintain IN
