SOME BIG PIPES.
Tive Remarkable Long Distance Trans
missions of Power.

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 tho
transmission of oil by pipe line from the
natural oilflelds of New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania to tide water 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 a
distance of about 100 miles.
The 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 ~ pumping stations along
this line, situated aboGt 30 miles apart
The pumps operate at pressure of about
1000 pounds per square inch, and the Ca
pacity of the line is about 10000 barrels a
day.
The main pipe line is divided into divi-
sions and sections, much like trunk rail
way system, and has smilarly its division

foremen, line gangs and line walkers tele-
graph stations and daily reports.
The natural gas pipe line is perhaps q
moro simple example of long distance pow
er transmissions and bears many striking
points of resemblance to transmission by
electricity. In the Indiana gasfield about
90 wells are in operation having an aver
age daily capacity of about 5000, 900 cubic
feet each. AS in the oillelds, so here
the individual wells are connected by feed
pipes to a supply line, which collects the
gas and carries it to pumping station.
There large cOmpressors, capable of pro-
ducing and sustaining pressure Of 1000
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 1000, 900 to 12,
O0O, 900 cubic feet of gas in Chicago,
where it is sold at price much below that
of ordinary illuminating gas.-S. Dana

A NEW BIT OF HISTORY.
GortchakOf Knew Every Word That Min
lister Curtin Said to Napoleon III.

An Austrian military officer, who has
held important posts in Europe, but is
now a resident of this city, told reporter
recently n story illustrative of the effect
iveness Of the Russian secret police. The
anCcdote which is of sufficient Importance
to deserve place in history, is, according
TO the narrator, true of his own personal
knowledge and likewise has never been
published before
"In the year 1871, " said the officer, taft
err the downfall of Napoleon Ill Mr.. Cur

envoy to st. Petersburg, visited London,
and received while there an invitation to
visit the dethroned French emperor who
resided then in Chiselhurst. Accepting
tho IN ttation, Mr. Curtin was a long time

pom !Ual discussion with him.
"'You are very intimate with Prince
GortchakOf' (the Russian chanccllor),
said Napoleon. Have you any objection
to telling me his real sentiments concern

throne|
at certainly know Prince Gortcha-
kof's ideas upon the subject, replied Mr..
Curtin, but I'm not at liberty to mention
them.
" 4 understand your position perfectly,
said the emperor, and 1 am very much
obliged to you
"Prince Gortchakof's opinion, which
Mr.. Curtin declined to communicate to
Napoleon, had been very strongly OK
pressed. Gortchakof had been saying that
he never would help this French ras-
cal to restore his throne, because he knew
him as n man to be extremely dangerous
for the peace of Europe.
"Whcn Mr.. Curtin returned to st. Pc

Bonaparte's Horrible Suggestion.

AS votary at the shrine of science Ma
pOleOn believed in the lawfulness of sui
eide, and he now coldly suggested murder
to his surgeon general, limiting that an
overdose of opium would end the suffer-
ings of those plague stricken men who
would have to be abandoned. 1t was long
believed that such a dose actually had
been administered to the 60 or more who
were left behind. But the conclusive evil
dence that the report was false is in the
fact that when Sir Sidney Smith occupied
Yafa the sufferers were still alive. Napo-
leon to the last defended the suggestion MS
proper, though he falsely denied having
made it himself and untruthfully declared
at St. Helena that he had delayed three
days to protect the dying patients. With
cynical good nature, he told the fine story
of how the noble French physician Des-
genettes (who, in spite of his conviction
that the plague was contagious, had al
ready inoculated himself with the disease
in order to allay the panic of the terror
stricken soldiers) had rejected the criminal
suggestion, replying that a physicians
profession was to save, not to destroy, hui
man life.-Profcssor Sloane's Life of Ma.

Fasting In ServIa.

The people of Servia are forever fasting
The most severe fast is that of Lent which
lasts seven whole weeks. Then, on the
Both of juno, is the fast of St. Peter,
which lasts two weeks and is observed by
some persons for four weeks. From the
1st to the 10Th Of August is the fast of st.
Mary, and Christmas is preceded by 40
days fast. Apart from these lengthy fasts
all Fridays and Wednesdays throughout
the year are held to be n fast days. Fast
ing in Sorvia is no mere change Of diet. 1t
means real abstinence and priyation. At
Prot this fasting has assumed such seri-
Gus proportions as to constitute a grave
medical problem and a national danger,
for it affects seriously the health of the
population, the strength and fighting
capabilities of the soldiers. The medical
men reckoned that, on the whole, half the
days in the year were fast days. This
means that for some six months in the
year the population of Prot and neighbor-
hood is only fed on bread, raw onions and
raw vegetables. No cooking is done. Not
morsel of meat is allowed.-Philadel-
phia Telegraph.

Telephoning to the Moon.

Both Edison in America and Preece in
England have long maintained that it is
possible to establish on the earth record
of tho electrical disturbances that take
place on the sun. An electrician now
holds that it is easily feasible to telephone
to the moon. He bases his belief in the
possibility of this communication on the
well known laws of ether vibration. The
ocean Of ether quivers to every touch. 1t
binds the planets together with an iron
hand, flexible yet firm, solid yet infinitely
elastic. 1t is the ideal medium for the
transmission of signals When it moves,
even to an extent inconceivably small, our
sight is affected; we see. These ether
waves are eight minutes coming to us from
the sun, travelling at the enormous velocity
of 1872, 600 miles "a second. 1t is possible
to produce waves moving at this terrific
speed by electrical means, as, for instance,
in the telephone, which is actuated by in
finitely small pulsations.
When an iron mass is in the vicinity of
these electrical vibrations, buzz or hum
is given out. This noise may be distinctly
heard in some systems of street lighting
apparatus, where tho current is trans
formed from high to low pressure. In
accordance with this principle it is pro-
posed to send electrical pulsations far out
into the ether and have them act upon any
metallic mass like iron with sufficient
force to produce sound. If thsSnoon con-
tains iron, and there is reason to believe
that it does, the striking upon it of these
marvellous vibrations would give rise to
murmur of sound. 1t is suggested that
this daring experiment could be carried
out by means of gigantic coil mounted
vertically with it's axis in line with the
moon.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

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

dinner Of the Cabmen's Benevolent asso-

amusing stories of his experiences and OBJ
Eervations of London cabmen. Not few
of us have known cabmen whom we held
in special regard. There was one affable
driver that invited to the Lyceum, Civ

Queer Pool Playing.

"There are many ways of playing pool,
but the queerest way ever saw the game
played was at the Louisville hotel the 9TH
er night" said a rounder. "He was a
young man and was the admired of every
pool player in the room. He played with
two cues, but never struck a ball with his
cue. He held n cue in each hand with the
points touching. He picked his cue ball
up with the cues and rolled it back into
the groove formed by holding the cues
nearly together. Then he took aim, and
slanting his cues down let the cue ball
shoot down the improvised groove. He
rarely missed running from five to ten
balls every time his turn to shoot came"

PARIS CHURCH BELLS.
When They Are Rung and In What an
Old Fashioned Manner.

When They Are Rung and In What an
Old Fashioned Manner.
The ringing of the church bells in Paris,
whether upon religious or civic occasions,
is regulated not by the church authorities,
but by those of the lay or municipal gov
eminent. The mayor of each arrOndisse-
ment has the right to make use of the bells
of his precinct on certain specified occa-
sions, within the restrictions of the gener-
al ministerial edict controlling both the
religious and the civil ringings. The &C.
clesiastical authorities are not permitted
to ring their bells before O'Clock in the
morning or after 8 in the evening from
Easter to the 31st of October; nor before 5
in the morning or after in the evening
from Nov. l to Easter. The only excep-
ton to this rule is Christmas night.
However, owing not so much to these
restrictions as to the cost Of ringing tho
bells, particularly the Chimes these are not
heard nearly so often or so generally in
Paris as in some other capitals, notably
Rome, and when the Partisan chimes do
sound, they are not always to be commend
ed for tune and time. This, in its turn,
may be attributed to the old fashioned
method Of hanging and ringing the bells
of Saint Sulpicc.
These bells arc not rung by means of
ropes and levers, &c is the modern Gus
tom. They are 80 . lanced on their hang
ings that even the largest can be set swing
ing by direct application of man force,
and with such vivacity of motion that the
clapper strikes with sharp regularity, then
Immediately rebounds without deadening
the vibration of sound. The largest bell of
Saint Sulpicc weighs 5000 kilos, or up
ward of $4,000 pounds and requires four
men to ring it. The great bourbon Of
Notre Dame weighs 1900 kilos and re-
quires eight men.--Paris ILLUSTRATION.

New Theory For Heat.

A new book advances the theory that
the heat of the sun is not due to combus-
ton or contraction, but to the stores Of
electricity supplied it from space and from
all the orbs Of which it is the center. The
author holds that space is pervaded with
attenuated vapor or gases, chiefly aqueous,
and that the planets act as enormous in
duction machines, generating electricity
from the ocean of vapor.-Chicago Trib-
une.
