No western imagination can easily

mother-of-pearl-these things sound
like an eastern fable. but the car has
them all. At Moscow. in the great pal
nee within the sacred Kremhn walls.
there are not only crowns and scepters
covered with diamonds but also sad
dies, stirrups and sets of harness COW

dreds of swords, daggers and scimitars,
the sheaths of which are literally
masses Of pearls. rubies and turquoises.
Rare tapestries. marvellous china from
Sevres and Japan. flawless gems from
Asia, priceless antique manuscripts and
jeweled book covers-these are few
of the objects scattered about the cars

u.tcufa Air IN Co,,r,erce.

New methods of liquifying air at a
reduced cost have been invented in Ger
many. and Mr.. de Kay, United States
consul at Berlin. mentions in his official
report some of the uses to which liquid
air may be put. One of these is for il
Eliminating purposes. An illuminant
can be formed from liquid air by mix
ing it with ordinary air, in certain pro-
portions, while it is passing back to its
normal condition. Liquid air may also
serve as an explosive agent for various
purposes. As n portable liquid, rich in
oxygen, it is suggested that it should
serve many purposes in manufactures
The price in Germany has heretofore
been S2.25 for five cubic meters (about
1761s cubic feeD of air reduced TO the
liquid condition, but Prof. Linde, oil
Munich, has invented a process where
by the cost has been brought down tC
about 2A cents per five cubic meters.

MEDINA, N. ", Oct. Ca great deal of prop
erty in this vicinity Is in imminent danger of
destruction from forest fires that havo for the
past two weeks been raging in the Tonawanda
swamp. The fires, which were started by tho
burning Of quantity Of underbrush, have
spread over q great area. Usually in tho fall
the swamp is set on fire in different places just
before tho equinoctial storm is expected. with
the result that by the time the greater part of
the area is burned over and tho fires begin to
approach dangerously near to the farmers
property the rain puts 1t out
The Tonawanda swamp covers nearly $4,000
acres, and, from the lack of rain this year, Is
filled with highly inflammable material. Ad.
joining the swamp are many rich farms and
valuable buildings, which. unless help arrives
speedily, will be destroyed. Men have been en-.
gagged night and day fighting the flames They
have asked the authorities of the town of Shelby
to provide some means whereby the fire may be
stopped.
The most dangerous feature of these fires is
the fact that in many instances where tho
ground is covered with a thick muck the flames
travel underground, and their presence Is only
evidenced by the smoke which pours up through
the porous ground. and are difficult to fight sue
cessfully. The farmers are praying for rain,
and are watching the sky for "mans hand I"

Special Gable Despatch 10 THE sur
HAMBURG, Oct. 6.-The opinion now prevails
that tho Socialist Congress sitting In this city
will probably decide in favor of the Socialists
participating in tho elections for members of
the Prussan Landtag, which question is tho
principal ono to be decided at the conference.
The followers OF Herr Bebcl ono of the Socialist
leaders in tho Reichstag, are willing to agree to
this and to form an alliance with the advanced
Liberals in the Prussian Diet
At yesterdays sitting OF the congress 21S
delegates were present. Herr Schippol, one of
the Socialist Deputies for Berlin, presided. A
long report was presented recommending Par
liamentary action in favor of q working week
Of sixty-hroe hours.
Herr Hoffman Of Hamburg complained Of tho
unjust treatment to which German sailors were
subjected, and asserted that in tho shipyards
Socialist workmen had been dismissed because
OF their political faith.
Herr Auer of Berlin confirmed the statements
made by Herr Hoffman and denounced the Off.
cials of the shipyards and other Government
works for acting as spies upon workmen
Herr Schippel resumed his remarks after pre-
sentinE the report recommending Parliamentary
action favoring sixty.three hours a week work.
ing time, and quoted the declaration of Herr
Richter, the leader of tho Richterite Radicals.
that tho Socialists duty was to silence tho Gov.
ernments demand for q vote of 10000, 900
marks for new artillery. He declared that sol.
diers were not needed to fight tho German bour-
geoisic. but the North American bourgeoisie,
which was the worst Of all.
Herr Bebel urged an improvement In tho or
ganization Of tho party before the next elections
for members of the Rechstag. and said no
hoped that IL this was done the Social Democrats
would secure from twenty to thirty moro seats
In that body. He moved that it be a principle
OF the party, where the Socialists had no chance
OF electing members of their own party and
where second ballot was required, to sup
port the candidates Of other parties who were
pledged to oppose any scptennate or quinquen-
nate, an increase in the present taxes or tho
imposition Of now ones and all exceptional laws,
especially any involving encroachment upon
the suffrage, or laws for the suppression of the
right OF association or suppression of the press.
Herr Bebels motion will doubtless be adopted
This innovation in the methods of tho party
will have great effect upon tho results of tho
elections.
Herr Bebcl also proposed to run Socialists for
the Reichstag in every constituency where tho
party was organized, regardless of their chances
Of election.
