A. the state G. A. r. Eucampment
held at Columbus, Ohio, In 1896, the
cities that presented their claims for
entertaining the G. A. r. In 1897 were
very anxious to have the encampment
and while it was hard for the Eucamp
ment to decide as to which of the three
places that presented their claims
should be honored, Chillicothe was
finally selected, on account o. Mr.. j. G.
Winaus, District Passenger Agent, G.
Fl, g. d. Ry., assuring the encamprnent
that II they would go to Chillicothe in
1897 he was authorized by Passenger
Traffic Manager, ID. q. Edwards to say
that he would use all the influence that
he could bring TO bear on tue Central
Passenger Committee, when the time
came, to have q uniform one cent per
mile rate on all roads in Ohio to Chilli
cothe.
This was received with enthusiasm,
and Chillicothe selected. The same
promise had been made on two or three
other occasions by Mr.. Winaus, and il
had been fulfilled to the letter; there
fore 1t only required his statement to
captivate his encampment. How well
his promise has been fulfilled, the fol-
lowing telegram will show.

The Central Passenger Committee
now in session in Chicago has this day
granted one cent per mile rate, from
all points in Ohio, for the Grand Army
Encampment at Chillicothe. 1 hope
this is satisfactory, being on line with
what you promised at their last annual
meeting at Columbus, and it gave me
pleasure to confirm il.

WHERE NOAH GOT his PITCH.

Make the Ark Water Tight.
An English explorer has recently
reached Hit, in Syria, the locality In
which Noah dwelt Here he found a
remarkable group Of bitumen springs.
says the New York Journal.
From these springs, he says, It is
probable that Noah obtained his supply
of material to pitch 1t within and with
out" In basin, undoubtedly Of vol
canic origin, q spring of warm water
bubbles up, and with the water comes
the bitumen or pitch, In plastic form,
of the consistency of rather moist put
ty; and the Arabs gather it by simply
scraping 1t Off the surface of the water
with their bare hands and pressing it
into panniers carried by patient little
donkeys, who then struggle up the
rocky sides of the basin and take the
material off to the bodybuilding yards,
where 1t Is used for covering the boats
and gouphas, after undergoing u cer-
tain refining process.
The bitumen is continually rising.
but owing to the formation of the basin
into which it rises with the stream
very little of it can escape, and it re-
mains floating on the surface of the wa
ter till taken off by the Arabs. The wa
ter itself tastes slightly of sulphur, is
quite warm and apparently charged
with some mineral which it deposit.

DISTRIBUTING NATURAL GAS.
Sent Long Distances Through Pipes by
Means Of Air Pressure.

Sent Long Distances Through Pipes by
Means sf Air Pressure.
The transmission or conveyance of
gas under pressure to long distances,
which was an unsolved problem some
20 years ago, is now n fixed fact, repre-
6ented by the present use of about
75,ooo,ooo feet of pipe used in the dis
tribution of natural gas. On the first
discovery of this article, says the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, the pressure at the
we'll was sufficient to drive it through
the pipes almost us far as desired. but
this pressure declining some additional
methods were necessitated, the we'll
known air compressor being resorted
to to pump the gas; and, as showing
its efficiency, there are at Greenland, in
Indiana, gas ellis which have long car
ried supplies to Chicago. There arc
two eight-inch pipe lines used, the gas
being pumped q distance OF about 160
miles. There is at Redlky, Ind, q
pumping station of this character that
supplies the towns Of Springfield, Tiifin,
Liman, Dayton. Piqua and other places
in the western part of Ohio. Near
Pittsburgh there is u gas plant which
pumps 20,0O0,OO0 cubic feet every "a
hours for use in mills. the pumping Of
this being without the least difficulty;
and the Philadelphia company pumps
many millions of cubic feet q day.
There are New England air compressors
that are pumping every day, at various
stations In the United States, the enor-
nous quantity of nearly 1oo,0oo,ooo
| cubic feet.

sPREEs ATAo CHURCH FESTIVAL.

Contracted for by Subscription In the
Rhineland Village of Oberringelheim.
1t is custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at the conservation
of q new church. This custom has
been regarded as uulove!y and un-
Christian by many influential Germans
of the new school, most notably by EN-
peror William IL, but still it remains
unreformed, and the comic weeklies do
not tire of depicting the scenes, in and
out of the police court, that follow the
conservation sprees and fights. Some
three weeks ago the festival of a new
church was celebrated in Oberringel-
helm, in the Rhine country. In antici-
patton of the usual trade in eXhilarat-
ing liquors a saloonkeeper who does
business near the sacred edifice adver-
tised thus in the Rhineland Observer:
Jacob Muller herewith pledges him
self for a subscription price of three
marks (75 cents) to serve every one
of his guests with as much wine as he
can drink on the occasion of the church
conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to
visit me in response to this request, I
remain, respectfully yours,
Jacob Muller"

That Is What Debs' Cooperative Coloniza-

Chicago, June 1S.-The name selected
for Debs' new departure in the reform
line by the committee on legislation Of
the convention now In session in Uh-
lich's hall is Social Democracy Of Amer
ica." There was a good deal of opposi-
tion to the name and the debate was
warm when 1t was taken up by the con-
vention.
The name reported was finally agreed
to and after six hours of wordy war
fare the platform on which the Social
Democracy is to stand, was adopted. It
declares that thousands of men work
in shops. cooperating to the most eff
cient division of labor, but the fruits
Of this cooperative labor are in a meas
ure appropriated by the owners Of the
means Of production. The present eco
nomic system of the country is consid-
cred and condemned, and the platform
closes with call for recruits to enlist
under the banner of the Social Demo-
cracy. Today the state will be selected
In which Debs' cooperative plan will
be tried.
