A Mysterious Case.

On Sunday evening last a colored man
whose name is unknown, but who was in the
employ of Mr.. William 7. Clarke, " no resides
upon the farm of the late Henry Ady, near
Rock Spring church, borrowed from MIR.
Clarke a horse and buggy to drive to Fairview
colored church, near High Point. During the
night the man returned to Mr. Clarke's place
and reported that the team was gone, and
professed ignorance of its whereabouts. He
did not know what had become of it, whether
it had strayed away or was stolen. No in
formation has been received concerning it up
to this time, and the whole affair is mystery.
In the buggy at the time it disappeared, were
two good horse blankets.

In order to figure the value of a ration, null
tiply the number OF pounds to be fed by the
per cent. of albumenoids, then by the per cent.
of fat and by the per cent. of carbohydrates, as
is shown in the following ration. Do this with
all the foods in the ration; then get the total
amount. TO find the nutritive ratio, multiply
me total fat by 21@ and add to the total carbo-
nydrates. Divide this by the total albume-
noids The div:sor, AS due, and quOtient form
the nutrtivc ratio. In the example here given
the ratio Is too wide. 1t should be log, in
stead of III. 1t could be made narrower by
ad ling pound of cotton seed meal, or wider
by adding corn meal.

HOW PINTSCE GAS is MADE.

The material used for the manufac-
ture of Pintsch gas is crude or refined
petroleum. In the plant conducted
for the supply of Baltimore & Ohio cars
in Pittsburg (Which is a model planO,
the furnace room contains four fur
naces. each having an upper and a
lower retort, into a rich. permanent
gas of the highest Illuminating power
known in the art From the retorts
the gas passes through ingeniously ar
ranged apparatus in the purifying
room. where il is thoroughly freed
from all impurities; but for the pur-
pose of car illumination it must be
compressed in order to carry suffi-
Gent supply in the small space availa-
BILE on passenger cars. The gas is then
conducted from the purifying to the
COMPRISING room. in which are locat-
ed two powerful compressors Of special
deeign. which compress the gas into
storage cylinders used for this pur-
pose. From these holders the gas is
piped TO the Baltimore & Ohio depot.
where it is supplied to the cars as re-
Quired.

A WINDY WELL.

A Strange Underground Draft Of Air
Found in a Deep Sinking.
Arizona possesses some OF the greatest
natural wonders i'll the world. not the
least of which is this phenomenon of a
current Of air issuing from or going into
the bowels of the earth through sundry
natural and artificial openings made IN
the earth's crust.
Something over q year ago a Mr.. Couf-
man undertook the drilling of a well at
his place. Everything went we'll to a
depth of some Twenty-Five feet. when the
drill suddenly dropped some six feet and
Il strong current of air issued from the
hole. The escaping air current was so
strong that it blew off the mems hats
who were recovering the lost drill.
The well was of course abandoned and
left to blow, but there are some peculiari-
ties about it that are worthy of obserya-
ton. The air will escape from the well
for days at a time with such force that
pebbles the size Of peas are thrown out
and piled up about its mouth until It
looks very much like the expanded por-
ton of u funnel Al the same time it is
accompanied by a sound much like the
distant believing Of q fog horn. This
noise IS not always present, because the
air does not at all times escape with the
same force. Again there will be for
days a suction current, unaccOmpanled by
IL Which, I1lC CulIGAlt VI Sl11 Peeofo1o
into the earth, with some less force than
it escapes, and any light object, as a
feather, piece of paper or cloth, will, if
held in close proximity, be Immediately
sucked into the subterranean labyrinth of
Aeolus.
Just the cause Of this phenomenon no
one has yet been able to determine, but it
is supposed that there is an underground
opening between the Grand canyon of
the Colorado, which cleaves the earth for
more than a mile in depth, and the Syca-
more canyon, some eighty miles to the
south Of it, of the same proportions, but
much shorter
This would seem possible from the fact
that the current of air is always passing
from north to south or vice versa, vary
ing, Of course, . few points of the COM
pass from the true meridian, but always
in these general directions, as determined
by experiment, and then the stratum I'M
derlying the quaternary is OF volcanic
cinder. This is very porous, and in many
places so-called bottomless holes exist

THE LOUD POSTAL BILL.
Provisions of the Measure Which Passed
the House.

Washington, D. c., Jan. THE Loud
bill to amend the law relating to second
class mail matter was passed by the
House yesterday after two days of de-
bate The opposition to the bill made
a strong fight against it. The statements
made on the floor as to its effect in GER
tain particulars were very conflicting.
The most important provision of the bill
denies the serial publications admission
to the mails at 1 cent per pound rates.
It is as follows:
That nothing herein contained shall be so
construed as to admit to the secOnd-class
rate publications purporting to be issued
periodically and to subscribers, but which
are merely books reprints Of books
whether they be bound or unbound, Wheth-
er they be sold by subscription 9TH
erwise or whether they purport to be premi-
ums or supplements or parts OF regular
newspapers or periodicals.
The bill also denies the newspapers
the sample copy privilege and the priv
ilege enjoyed by newspapers of return
ing unsold publications at the second
class rate.
The only other important change in
the present law provides that publish
ers whose publications are admitted as
second-class matter shall be required be
fore depositing such mail matter in the
postoffice to separate the same into Unit
ed States mail sacks or bundles by states,
cities. towns and counties, as the post
master-general shall direct.

SITUATION IN INDIA.
Rains in November Help the Grain
Outlook, but a Million People
Need Relief

Calcutta, Jan. AT a meeting of the
council today Sir John Woodburn, the
revenue member, said that the timelS
rains in November and December had
saved India from the greatest calamity
of the century. so widespread and severe
was the drouth. a large area sown
with the assistance Of the November
rains had, he said. been greatly bene-
fitted by further rains last week and in
addition to the food stock vas expected
in April
IN spite Of this, he continued, the pres
eDt situation was grave. Nearly 100000
persons were already in receipt of relief
and the task of providing for these enor-
nous numbers was gigantic. The gov
eminent had given and was giving IN
stnted help in men and money.
The yiceroy, the Earl Of Elgin,- en-
dorsed the statement of Sir John Wood
burn and said it was that the government
was waiting to enable it to give better
effect to the measures of relief. In re-
gard to the obligations, of the government
the viceroy emphaticaiy declared that it
had and can have nothing to do with an
appeal to private charity. It's own duties
were clear and the government was de-
termined to fulfill them. The funds were
ample and it should never be. said that the
full resources of the empire had not been
used for relieving the distress.
