WASTING NATURAL GAS.

Why the Recent Dsoision of the Indiana
0uprsms Court Was u the Nick % Time.
One Of the most interesting legal deci-
sions that have latterly been made ii the
United States is that. arrived at not long
ago by the supreme court Of Indiana and
which was unanimous that the plea for an
in1unotton restraining the oil companies
from Wasting natural gas should be grant
ed. The suit was brought BY the attorney
general OF Indiana to punish those who
were violating the laws of that state for
bidding the waste Of natural gas. "a local
court had previously decided that this
waste was legal on the ground that man
had right to do what he chose with his
own, but the supreme court reversed this
decision and declared such waste illegal
on the ground Of the general public good.
Tho courts decision is very popular in
Indiana, as by stopping the waste Of nat
ural gas 1t Is believed that the supply
will be prolonged indefinitely and the in
dustriar interests Of the state will be served
most excellent turn. Certainly no one
who ts not familiar, through personal OBJ
servation, with what has for long time
been going on In some of the natural gas
districts of the United States can have any
conception of the reckless waste Of the gas
that has been and is probably still being
praoticed.
Not only have grossly inefficient kinds
OF burners been used, but In many places
there have been no burners at ali, and the
gas has been burned simply from open
ends OF pipes with no attempt at an ad-
mixture for proper combustion. Gas lets
and fires, moreover, have been left burn
Ing at all times, day and night, simply to
cave matches and to avoid the trouble of
relighting. EARLY exhaustion Of the gas
wells was to be expected under such con-
ditions. Many of them have, in fact, Civ.
en- signs Of distress, and the action that
was taken In Indiana seems to have come
almost In the nick of time.-Cassier' g

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Tho Two Projects Involved In the Trans
isthhian Undertaking.

Tho Two Projects Involved In tho Trans
isthhisn Undertaking. a..
The oanui design has been quite changed,
and two projects are now under investiga-
tion. One involves dam on the upper
Chagres to store the foods, with conduit
of 10 miles thence to the summit level Of
the canal, which is maintained by dam
at Bohio In the lower Chagres, about Is
miles from Colon, converting the middle
Chagres into large lake, the ascent to be
made by five locks on each side, of 29H
feet each, making the summit level about
147 feet above sea. A modification of this
reduces the summit level by deeper cut
through Culebra and uses four looks, and
substitutes for the dam in the upper
Chagres and the supply conduit dam at
Gamboa, In the immediate vicinity of the
canal 80
The second project would still further
reduce the summit level to about 100 feet
elevation, with corresponding increase
In the depth of excavation through the
divide and use three locks Of 50 feet lift
II the Investigations in progress show this
to be practicable, single great dam at
Bohi0 would convert the middle Chagres
into lake of such capacity as to take care
Of the floods without assistance.
Pending the completion of the studies
In the field, an engineering commission
has been formed, to whom the finished
plans and estimates are to be submitted
for consideration and report, and IL this
commission, which, 1t may be stated, in
yauuuss u aulstlDguished American engineer,
General Abbot Of the United States army,
shall confirm the results of the latest ex-
aminations and find the proposed con.
structions practicable and adequate and
the estimates sufficient the project Is to

prise to q conclusion. The reports state
that this is to be done during the present

failed to remove, and hurled himself
with fury on the foremost Of the Co.'S
sacks as they swept impetuously down
the narrow fight Of stairs.
The steel flashed in it's descent and
sank deep into an outstretched arm,
but before the brave Russian could
withdraw the blade for another stroke q
blow from "a rifle butt stretched him
senseless on the floor. and the troops
swarmed unresisted into the cellar.
The boys were too dazed to think of
defense. Overcome by the crushing
weight Of this terrible misfortune, they
witnessed Platoff's heroic charge, saw
him fall, stunned and bleeding, and
then submitted without word to the
rough usage Of their oaptors.
Bound hand and foot, they were
taken up stairs and placed on the floor.
The doors and windows were opened,
and huge fire kindled in an open
CRATE. The blaze shone on the trium.
phant faces Of the Cossacks within and
cast gray CLEANS on the guards pacing
outside in the rain. No need now for
that long Gordon Of troops whose camp.
fires were blazing along six miles Of
coast. At one stroke the campaign had
ended. @
The traitor Daroman was missing,
and Maurice searched in vain for his
familiar countenance. The cause of his
treachery was only too plain. The ad-
verse circumstances which confronted
the fugitives, the want Of food, the en-
comprising soldiers, the wind dashed
waters Of the 'rbor that made escape
impossible a. present, his own igno-
rance Of swimming-all these things
made him hopeless and Respondent.
He feared capture and capture in
such company would only make his
punishment the worse. Then the loop
hole Of escape appeared. He would slip
away, surrender himself to the first
Russian officer he could find and dis
close the whereabouts Of the three 5es-
capped convicts,. on whose head = haayy
price was set. Surely this service would
Offset the misdemeanor that had made
him fugitive from his own govern
ment. 4"
He would be pardoned, probably re-
stored to his rank and position. So he
doubtless reasoned and so he acted. The

Vests Popular With Stout Women.

Vests are more becoming to stout fig
ures than yokes, which fact will ever keep
them In vogue, but they are not as new or
as stylish as yokes. A narrow, fat vest
gives length to the waist If made to taper
to point. The ever popular full vest is
now ornamented with tiny GROSS tucks
and fits loosely, but does not bag in front
Tafeta, satin, chiffon, net, white batiste
and lawn with lace make appropriate vests
for summer gowns. Jacket suits have
separate full or pointed vests of cloth,

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles

People go along for years suffering with
piles. Then try this. and that, and the
other thing; from carrying a buckeye to
getting treatment from physician. They
obtain temporary relief may be, but they
are never quite cured. A little strain
In lifting, excessive fatigue, a little con-
stipation, or little diarrhoea, and the
piles come back
They don't seem to amount to much, out
they Danish sleep and appetite. No posi-
ton is comfortable. There is intense
local pain and that dreadful feeling OF
weight in the perineum.
May be in the early stages some OF the
many salves on sale will afford temporary
relief. II the case is OF long standing
there is only one speedy and sure remedy.
Il Is Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light
cases ii Is the safest thing to use. Other
applications may cure and may not.
Pyramid Cure Is always certain, always
reliable, and always brings comfort at
orce. It's prompt use saves months OF
severe suffering. In extreme cases IL Will
save. surgical operations and their at
tendant dangers and dlscomforts.

The cost is triling compared with what

many more seriously injured. The hall was
the scene Of a hotly contested municipal

the crash and many people were injured
by the maddened crowd. An alarm of fire
was Immediately sounded and the fire de-

the bodies of the dead and injured An
inspection of the wreck showed that a
whole section of the floor had dropped, the
joists being as neatly cut off as though the
work had been done with a saw. The
