When this bill was pending in the legis-

that the state. or at least the grounds
and buildings, wound be held responsible
for the warrants. and opposed the meas

that only the lands included in the grant
could be responsible and that on that Sc
curity the warrants could readily be
placed at par. The bill went through
with a rush. Now comes the second act.

which is another confederation OF the
fact that horse sense does exist. Re-
Gently on Mr.. Truscotts ranch on Sun
day creek a horse of his fell into a well
six feet in diameter and 30 feet deep,
containing three feet of water.
The man in charge OF the ranch soon
missed the horse and looked high and
low for him, but without success. Fin
ally, after 4s hours hunting. the AMI
NAL was discovered in the well in a
sorry condition. How to elevate so
bulky and unmanageable a thing as a
horse 30 feet was then the problem that
bothered the man; then. too. the horse
must be hungry. and to put something
substantial into his stomach before any
lifting could be done was the first
thing, so a big fork of hay was thrown
down to the horse. who instead of eat
Ing IL. tramped IL down. The horse
had by this means given the man the
idea he was searching for and he at
once started pfhng down the hay. and
in the course of time the horse was
standing on a dry and comparatively
solid footing. Block and tackle was
then adjusted and the horse extricated.

Electricity In Japan.

American electrical engineers will
do well to open their eyes to the ad-
vantages now offered by Japan as a
field for electrical work. The CORE
spondent Of an electrical journal, who
has recently returned from a visit to
the East, emphasizes the need of cleo
trical railways in Japan. He is GER
tan, to begin with, that an electrical
railroad on the fourteen miles be-
tween Yokohama and Toxic, passing
through a thiCkly-populated district,
would pay. At present Toxic, which
has owe 1,OO0, 900 inhabitants, has no
electric road, and there is not q single
street car line in Yokohama. The
town of Osaka, liz the central part of
the empire, presents another admjra-
BILE opening. 1t has no electric rail-
way and is sixteen miles from the
coast. 1t is now connected by rail-
way with Kobe, which in 1890 had
10000 inhabitants. An electric rail-
way between these towns would prove
a remunerative undertaking. A line
from Osaka TO Kioto, a great city,
which was formerly the capital Of
Japan, via Kobe, would touch villages
at almost every mile of it's course.
and would accommodate a population
of fully 100000 people. The Japan
csc are great travellers. They make
long excursions over the country TO
visit the most sacred Buddhist tenn
pies and Shinto shrines, and the roads
are often thrOnged with families 60
ing from IN sacred place to another.
The electric lines would pick up
many parties out on these trips of
combined religion and pleasure. The
chances for electric lighting in Japan
are quite as good as those of electric
railroading.

Newark, n. j., Aug. 13.-The fercest
nre the department OF this city has
had to contend with in many years,
with the possible exception of the big
grain fire at the Ballentine brewery
q couple OF months ago, broke u Ina
the plant Of the Central Stamping
company to-day. The front OF the Cen
tral Stamping company plant was on
New Jersey and Railroad avenue, and
covered ten city lots on that street.
From this branched another building
Eve stories high and s~ev.nty-ive feet
wide. running through the block to
Liberty street. From this building
there was a wing of the same size ex-
tending from the middle OF the block
through to East Fair street. On the
south side OF the main building on
the avenue were five ~three-story brick
buildings, and On the north was a new
two-story brick structure. All these
were destroyed. The LOGS to the Cen
tral Stamping company was estimated
by State Senator Ketcham, treasurer
Of the company, as upward of half a
million dollars; insurance, S250,0O0.
The other losses will aggregate $30,-
600. Less than an hour after the first
alarm was turned In the walls began
to fall. The house at No. 10 Fair street
was crushed beneath the wall next to
1t. In this house lived Samuel Giles
ner and his family. The house was
fiattened by the weight of brick fall
Ing upon it, but the family lost but lit
tie as most of their belongings had
been removed from the building when
the fire broke out. A house at No. %
Liberty street was also caught be
meath a falling wall and wrecked.
Several other houses were badly dam
aged by falling timbers and bricks.
When the main wall fell il buried the
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad
and all traffic on that road was blocked
for a time. A number Of firemen had
narrow escapes from being buried be-
meath this wall. Fireman John Van
Houghton, OF Engine Company No. 2
had a narrow escape early in the
course of the fire. He had gone to
the roof searching for a position from
which to direct a stream of water.
The roof gave way while he was on il.
When he felt ii sinking he leaped to
the gutter and threw himself over SO
as to hang from the edge by his
hands. The gutter was filed with
boiling tar, and although his hands
were badly burned he managed TO
cling TO the roof until rescued.
James Parker, who lives at No. 10
Hamilton street. was on the roof of his
house with buckets watching the
sparks. In throwing water on some of
them he lost his balance and fell to
the ground. He was badly injured
about the head, shoulders and arms,
but will recover. Capt. Frank Mercer.
of the salvage corps. was severely cut
about the hands. Many fremen were
badly scorched and blistered by the
heat. but no one was seriously hurt.

Of his acting on the stage, where /

specially impressed me. One was his

other, cla~ret-colored the third, the last
two garments being garnished with
gold or gilt buttons. This, to n small
country boy, quite unused to the sight

was his saying that the reading OF the

C~uItiyating SpOnges.

Large areas Of water along the coast
Of Florida. in the Gulf of Mexico, are
devoted TO this novel and, it is said,
profitable industry. Sponge farms be-
came necessary because of the posi-
BILE exhaustion Of the natural fisheries;
cultivated sponges are also superior
and easily accessible. The only prep
aration necessary for a farm is the
dropping of rocks and stones into the
water for the sponges to fasten to,
and TO build a lagoon TO prevent the
seed from being carried out to sea In
the autumn various varieties of
spOnges, including the male and fe-
male cells, are secured and kept in
pounds" which develop during the
winter. In the spring they are lib
Grated and soon fasten to the rocks.
The sponge grows slowly and is gen.
orally pulled at the end of the third
year, the smaller sizes being left for
seed. Sponges are worth from S1.50

GlnsS Tricks.

Hollow bricks Of glass are being
used in the construction of the walls
of winter gardens and plant houses.
They are SO set that the hollows are
filed with rarefied air, which is a non
conductor of heat. The bricks are laid
in cement that unites the entire mass
firmly. 1t is thought to be possible TO
use bricks without any support, and
experiments are being made OF roofing
with this glass, which, put up in arch
shape, will, ii is hoped, be sufficiently
strong to answer all purposes without
the wood or iron frames ordinarily
used in such buildings. Houses Of this
material are said to be heated at much
less cost than those made after other
methods. The light comes through the
bricks, and extra windows are not
necessary. The system is thought to
combine great strength and economy.
and IL 1t is a success will almost W
iutionize the building Of plant houses.
