LATE NEWS BY WIRE
Riot at the Honeybrook Colliery Near
Hazleton, Pa.
RESULT OF MINERS STRIKE
Superintendent Jones Saved From
Serious Injury by English Miners.
STRIKERS ARE FOREIGNERS

HAZLETON, Pa, August 14.-The driv-
ers and miners employed at the Honey
brook. No. ). colliery. struck this morning
for advance in wages. Some of the
drivers are Americans and others are Hun
garians and Italians. They have been get
ting from 81 to s1.3o per day. according to
the grade of teams. They claim they have
TO work one hour per day without pay and
for this they want remuneration.
THis morning two drivers left the strik-
ers' ranks and were going to the strippings.
when about thirty strikers met them and
tried to persuade them to come back.
Superintendent Conner Jones. put in an
appearance about this time
A fight followed, which developed into
small-sized riot, in which Jones was
knocked down and kicked. Levi Watts,
carpenter who came to his aid. was struck
the head with a rock and severely in
jured.
The arrival of a number of English
speaking miners probably saved the super
intendent from serious logging. as he is
unpopular with the men. The coal and
iron police were called from this city, but
before their arrival the men dispersed
quietly and no further trouble has devel-
oped.
The colliery is operated by the Lehigh
and Wilkes5arre Coal Company, which
made a general reduction in wages there
some time ago.

Temperature in Far North.
From the indianapolis Jews.

=
Not the least interesting of the many re-
suits OF Nanscn's expedition are the rec
ords of meteorological observations that
were continued almost uninterruptedly for
the better part of three years and which
throw distinct light upon the climatic con-
ditions of the far north. These show what
had already been well suspected by scien-
lists, that so far as a minimum tempera-
ture is concerned the highest northern lat
itudes are more favorably situated than
many regions lying full 10 or 70 degrees
approximately 1,OgO-1. 400 miles, farther to
the south. The lowest reading of Nansen's
thermometer, registered on board the
Fran, was 61.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or
some II to 10 degrees higher than the
minimum noted by the British polar expe-
dition of 1S15-'I6. and degrees above the
minimum of Kane. The lowest winter tenn
perature recorded by Mr.. Peary was So
degrees Fahrenheit. In strange contrast to
this in itself sufficiently severe tempera-
ture are the rigors of certain less-favored
localities lying to the south. Thus, in the
Kara sea, which lies between Nova Zembla
and Siberia, and whose center Is approx
mately crossed by the I'D parallel of lati-
tude, a temperature of 81 degrees is by no
means uncommon. and the sea, partly from
this cause and partly from the fact that it
is largely choked with ice, has justly re-
ceived the name of the lice cellar of
EuraSia.

Chemical Production by Electricity.

fioh the intet-Occa0
The city of Niagara Falls has more fac
tories making chemicals by electricity to-
day than any other city in the world The
plant for manufacturing chlcrate of pot
ash is the first to introduce this industry
into the United States. The uses for this
product are continually increasing From
i've to six million pounds annually i'm
ported. a large portion of which is used
in calico dyeing as an oxidizer 1t is also
employed in the manufacture of parlor
matches, blasting powder, and some of
the SmokeleSs powders. 1t is taken medicf-
nally for various ailments. The salt COM
monty called muriate of potash is found in
large quantities in Stassfurt, in Germany
and is shipped to this country in bags con-
tanning 24O pounds each. 1t is dissolved
in wooden tanks, pumped up to storage
tanks. and is led from them through pipes
to cast iron, porcelain-lined, electrolyzing
tanks. divided by porous partitions into
positive and negative compartments. The
chloride solution is kept circulating from
the positive 10 the negative compartments,
being eiectrolyzed in its passage and evolv-
ing chlorine gas at the positive pole and
forming caustic potash at the negative pole
The gas Is led into the negative compart-
ment, where 1t combines with the caustic
potash, forming hypochlorite and chloride
OF potash. 1t is then led down to tanks
containing lead steam coils and evapor-
ated to the concentration point of chic
ride Of potash when cold. From here it is
run boiling hot to tanks, where Ii Is al
lowed to cool. Little of the chloride crys-
tallizes with the chorate as the two salts
form at different densities. The chlorate
crystals are raked out and dried and pack
ed in kegs holding a hundred pounds The
age tanks to be used over again in the
cells.

Stick to the Ship.


Some time since the Canadian govern
ment issued a notice to the effect that
wrecks do not break up rapidly on the
coast of Vancouver Island. Seamen were
cautioned that in the event of approach
ing shipwreck to stay by the vessel as
long as possible, because all loss Of life in
the past had been caused through attempt
ing to get asht re, Or through exposure af-
ter landing.
Quite recently large British sailing
vessel was off the coast of Vancouver
Island. For three days dense fog pre-
vailed, and the captain lost his bearings.
Suddenly the roar of breakers was heard.
and two anchors were let go. One If the
cables parted as the ship rounded about
one hundred feet from the rocks. AS the
other cable was In imminent danger of
parting, 1t was decided to lower the boats
One after another they were dropped from
the davits, only to be smashed to pieces
At last one Of the lifeboats was fioated
and in 1t thirty-six members of the crew
tried to reach the shore. The boat was
repeatedly capsized, and it was little short
OF miracle that the men succeeded in
landing. On the following morning the
weather moderated, and, to their great sur
prise the crew found that the vessel was
still holding fast by one anchor Shortly
afterward the wind shifted and the crew
boarded the vessel again, and, hoisting
sail, moved away from the seemingly per-
ilous place.

Effect Upon the United States Patent
Office.
INCREASED TRADEMARK APPLICATIONS
What Chief Newton Says on the
Subject.
VALUE OF A CATCH WORD

The Klondike craze has had its effect
CT the Patent Office, as has been shown by
the applications for trademarks bearing
the word. Two or three patents have been
applied for for objects which might be bet
ter suited for the gold fields there than
elsewhere, but the chief clerk refuses to
tell of them.
The application for trademarks bearing
the word Klondike. Chief Newton Of the
trademark division of the patent office
says. hive been made for a certain brand
OF cigars, bicycle lamp and furniture.
One word can be used as trademark as
many times as may be wished. with the
exception that each object must be differ
cnt.
What Chief Newton Says.
Speaking to The Star reporter on the sub
ject of trademarks. Chief Newton said:
Wher ever there is anything new, or any
new craze, the applications for trade
marks In that line begin coming in imme-
diately. When the Trilby craze was at its
height we had APPLICATION after application
come In for trademarks on different OBJ
Jects, which We're registered. until the
craze apparently died out. At the present
we have few, if any applications for Trilby
trademarks.
1t was the same way when the X-rays
were hrst discovered. They had not been
"a
pi1cat1ons for N-ray trademarks commenced
pouring in the division. They have SUBJ
sided somewhat now, but occasionally q
person applies for another V-ray trade
mark.
In election times or campaign wears
trademarks relating to the issues or bear
ing the names of candidates are applied
Tor IN large numbers. For instance, last
year there were applications for fifteen or
twenty 16 to l trademarks, and innumera-
pie free silver and gold standard ones
since the Cuban question has been agitat-
ed the number of applications for trade
marks on number Of objects was large
1t was decided by the Supreme Court
that no name of a place was registrable as
trade mark although there is a very we'll
known article of sale which bears the name
OF city and has widespread reputation.
How Manufacturers Feel.
Il have been surprised how much manu-
facturers attribute to the trademarks of
their articles. For instance, certain
flour manufacturing company in institut-
ing an interference case made oath that the
name of their particular brand of flour
was worth 100000, and L believe that
was really paid for it. 1t is known that
the sum of $4,000 was actually paid for
the name of certain polish.
There is as much litigation, probably
about the rights to trademarks as manu-
fecturers are naturally jealous. when the
reputation of a thing has in view of Gus
toners buying his goods. he will meet them
half way. The gentleman, by the way, oc-
cupied a political position, and were ad-
vertised by the press.
There Is manufacturer who has his
name registered in connection with the
fact that been established of letting
another get hold Of it. There has been
much OF this in the past ten or twelve
years."

From the pni,aa .lphi, Record


bridge of novel design is shortly to be
erected across the Seine river, in France.
1t Is called a ''pont transbordeur," and

lowest existing bridge at Rouen, and mar
row iron bridge VIII be suspended by chain
cables between their heads. 1t Is not less
than 100 feet from the level of the quays
and is not intended for either carriages or
foot passengers. Several lines of rail are
to be carried along 1t, and 1t is on this
skeleton carriage or platform that the
wheels will run. These will be worked
from each stoe of the river by small steel
ropes passing over wheel to be worked
