The report Of the State geologist Of
Indiana for the past year has just been
published, and it forebodes the failure
of the natural gas fields at no distant
day. The territory that now produces
natural gas includes a region of about
$500 square miles, and no new diScoy
cries have been made or are now likely
to be made. A decrease in the pressure
was first noticeable in 1895, and it is
still diminishing. 1t would not be SUI
prising therefore that if within a year
or two the supply would be so much di-
minished that the general use of the gas
would have to be abandoned. Such was
the case with the gas fields Of western
Pennsylvania, and such will probably
be the fate of the Indiana field. 1t will
be remembered that the Pennsylvania
fields. though long known, or at least
suspected. were not extensively Oper-
ated until 1878, and it was not until
1854 that the gas was piped to Pitts
burg. Then it was that the Smoky City
became smokelesS, but this did not last
long. \ few years and the wells be-
came exhausted and smoke once more
reigned supreme in the city of iron,
steel and coal. The gas fields of Indiana
were discovered in 1887, and now after
ten years they too will become a thing
of the past. Nature seems to have no
continuing gas manufacturing. After
having made a supply and deposited It
in pockets she broke the retOrtS ard
gave up the business. Those who are
dependent on natural gas for heat and
light are amply forewarned by this re-
port that they must be on the alert for
an artificial substitute. Natures lab
oratory IS broken up.

A piano on an entirely new principle
is announced from Germany. The
strings are stretched across the sound
ing-board as in the ordinary piano, but
the entire hammer mechanism is alb
sent. Instead, the depressing Of the
keys puts in action a magnet, which
automatically attracts and releases the
wire, thus producing vibrations with
out the metallic stroke which accom-
panies the sound in the common type.
The resulting effect upon the tones is
said to be very remarkable. The high
notes resemble those of an Aeolian'
harp. The middle and lower notes are
like those Of a cello or an organ. It
responds readily to every variation in
power and expression. A note can be
sounded for several minutes without,

Statistics of the Society.
The report Of John Willis Baer, general

In 1881 there was one society and fif-
ty-seven members. In 1897 there are 90

About three weeks ago, according to
the London Economist. there was on
deposit in the joint stock banks OF En-
s,land and Wales the sum of f550, ,000,-

Americans become too much astonish-
ed at these enormous figures it should
be added that they show a falling off
rs compared with the figures OF TIE
previous half year Otherwise they
represent 4 steady increase from 1886
when the total was G323, 100000. Be
sides this there is in the banks of Ire
land and Scotland f141 100000 and
t2,500,000 boarded up in the banks

ands. Foreign and colonial houses
having London offices show the sum of
f2443 ,000,0G0 on their books, and private
bankers are estimated to have E5O.-

vested wealth in the British islands

History of the Society.
The story back of this immense gather
| ing in the land of flowers has romantic
| interest that lifts it far above the COM
monpacc. But sixteen years ago this
| Worldwide organization had humble
| birth in Il little, out-of-the-Way church IN
Maine. To-day there are $4,000 socie-
ties. with a membership of 1,OOO,00O
Young people in every part of the civilized
| world. from Spain to the Samoan Islands.
| in the south seas, and from Australia to
| Alaska.
In this time 100000 meetings have
| been l,cll by Christian Endeavorers.
| Copies OF the constitution numbering
| 5000. 900 have been printed In forty Ian
guages. and at least 15,0Oo,00O copies OF
the pledge. More than 100000 assocl-
ate members have joined the church, and
more than S2000,0OO has been given for
denomina tional purposes. Such, III brief,
is the remarkable history of one OF the
most conspicuous religious movements of
all times.
The immense meeting on the Pacific
slope has ecipscd all previous reunions.
The central meeting place was Mechan-
les Pavilion. which occupies an entire
square in the heart of that western me-
tropolis. and has seating accommodations
for 1O.OOO persons The second great
meeting place was Woodward's Pavilion,
the central rendezvous. 1t is an Octagonal
building with a seating capacity OF l,oOV.
These two places of meeting were supple
ncntcd almost every hour III thc day with
gatherings in the various churches. Even
the Chinese churches and mariners
church Hospitality throwing open their
doors.
This religious siege Of San Francisco
was nothing if not picturesque. 1t was
nineteenth century "doings' which doubt
less made the monastic saints of long ago
turn unoasily in their graves. The Chris
tian IIndeavorer goes in for a happy re-
ligiOn. and if he cannot vent his eNuber-
ance in g long and loud hosanna he re-
sorts to = yell in characteristic college
boy fashion.
Most interesting of all the meetings
were the services in out-of-the-way places.
Prayer end song and eXhortation were
made by wandering bands before the
heather temples in Chinatown. in the
magnificent gambling saloons. among the
sailors, on the wharves, in the jails and
in the slums, in the different factories, IN
the hoSpitals-in fact, wherever the
Christian EndeavOrer could plant his two
feet and his symbolic flag.
Sunrise Prayer Meetings.
One of the features was the sunrise
prayer meetings down on the beach of

Naval regulations have triumpheu,
and the leader of the Marine band has
been dismissed from the service for re-
fusing to play the jinky tunes ordered
by a lieutenant of the Marine corps.
The band is really a social organiZa-
ton nominally under the control of the
Navy Department, and used by the Off
GERS and the Government generally to
add to the pleasure Of the semi-official
entertainments given at the capital. The
position of leader would be considered
a SNAP by almost any musician, and
the man who has just lost it was very
foolish to cut off his official head for the
alleged sake of art.

tionally to the vigorous young delegates
who had journeyed across akali plains,
through deserts, under burning suns and
over banks of snow to plant their banner
on the Pacific coast. On every side could
be seen the colors of the Christian war
riors. At every turn were met the earn
est faces of the advocates of higher and
better lives.
The scenes at the pavilion resembled
n national political convention, except
that more women were in evidence on this
occasion than usually attend great gath
erings. In fact, fully two-thirds of the
delegates were of the gentler sex. But
their presence tended to make the scene

A Florida newspaper, commenting
upon the intention of Virginia to erect
n statue to Edgar Allen Poe, makes the
trite remark that Poe has builded for
himself q monument more enduring
than brass in the poems which he left
as a legacy for the world. That is no
argument against the statue. All our
great writer's have left behind them
monuments of that sort. but aside from
one or two poems, not considered by
good judges to be his best, Poe is a
sealed book to millions of the people of
this country. 1t is no rash statement to
say that he is far better known and
understood in France and England than
he is in the land of his birth.
