It should not be supposed that the
twenty or more square miles Of Mingo
Flats are one unbroken. level terrace. It
Is far from that. The river and its
tributaries, some large and some small,
have trenched the terrace in hundreds
Of places and in all directions. The
fragments which remain are SUFFICIENT
TO show the extent and position Of the
ancient plain, and nothing more. They
mag be compared with piers Of a gI-
gantic bridge, which stand when the
superstrueture IS gone. the remnants
showing the altitude and extent of the
ancient structure. They remind me OF
tho Table Mountains" Of California,
but there Is this difference. The Ia

surrounding country, while the Mlngo
Flats are simply a bench along the
faces OF high mountains.

The origin Of the Minko Flats, and
the agencies which have sculptured
them into their present forms and posi-
lions, are worth investigation, 1t may
be accepted as fact that what we see
now OF the Flats is the semnant of
nearly level plain which existed In pre-
historic times, and which has been cut
and trenched by running Eater until
not one-tenth OF the original plain re-
mains. But when. search Is made for
the agencies which formed and then
nearly destroyed the plain, the conclus-
ions are not so satisfactory, Before l
visited the locality expected to hnd
abundant proof that the ,Mingo Flats
are a portion OF the old plain, now near
" obllterated, which extended from the
headwaters OF the Buckhahnon river,
in Upshur and Randolph counties, north
westward into Lewis county. That
plains position is still shofA by a fiat-
topped hill here and there, beginning
at the base OF Turkey Bone Mountain
near Plckens, at an altitude OF S,4OO feet
and slopIng of to the northwest until,
at an altitude of 100 feet, the fiat-top-
ped hills between Skin Creek and Sand
Fork in Lewis county show the last
fragment Of the plain. ~"

MCKINLEY HOPES FOR PEACE.
Belief That Spain Will Advance
Proposition to Settle Question.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Presi-
dent McKinley's assurances to Con-
gress in regard to the outlook for a
settlement of the Cuban difficulty with
out war between this country and Spain
are based upon representations made to
him by Minister Woodford. General
Woodford thinks, after repeated con-
ferences with Premier Sagasta and
other members of the Spanish min
istry, that the Spanish Government, of
it's own accord, will make a proposition
to this country looking to definite set
tlement of the Cuban question. This
proposition is expected to cover these
points, as follows:
First-That Spain shall send the re-
concentrates back to their homes and
supply them means of sustaining life
until normal conditions can be re-
stored.
Second-That there shall be an armi-
stice between Spain and Cuba, with
the end in view of securing a settle
ment of the difficulties and the removal
of the Spanish forces from Cuba.
Third-In case of a failure of the
Cubans and Spaniards to come to an
understanding during the armistice
Spain will submit the entire matter to
President Mckinley as arbitrator, with
the understanding that he will decide
in that event for the absolute inde-
pendence of Cuba

A Number Of Important Sentences

LONDON, March 31-A number of
sentences from the Madrid dispatches
to the Associated Press cabled last
evening, duplicate of which was

from there telegraphed to the London
office of the Associated Press, we're
evidently eliminated by the Spanish
censors. The dispatch should have con-
tanned the following:
Tomorrow will be the critical day.
General Woodford's negotiations will
then have decided whether it is to be
peace or war Unless Spain gives q
favorable answer to Americas de-
mands, General Woodford will cease
negotiations, and presumably ask FOR
his passports"
The censor throughout changed the
word demands" to propositions" The
dispatch concluded as follows:
There would seem to be no diff
Guilty in Spain's acceding and saving
her pride and the possession of Cuba,
which is generally admitted to be slip

TO SAVE ONE CENT.
How the Love of a Bargain Shows
Itself at a Ferry.

Many persons go to great trouble,
that often borders on the humorous, to
save cent This phase of human ma
ture is strongly emphasized at the
South Ferry entrance every afternoon
at five O'Clock, when, under provision
of law, the passenger toll is reduced
from = cents to l cent presumably for
the benefit of wage-earners, but act
ually for the benefit of all who enter
the gates between five and eight
o'clock
The visible sign of this reduction is
the turning of card in the ticket office
window, which changes it from Fare
cents to Fare l cent" The turn
Of this card is watched with great in
terest every night by hundreds of eyes
that belong to persons who want TO
save l cent, which, though an insight
ficant amount, aggregates, when saved
twice each working day, to $5 - a

| ing.

saving of such an amount means much,
however, who take advantage of the
low rates, but all sorts and conditions

the advantage of the fifty per cent.
reduction, often not only at the cost
| of time and inconvenience, bit at an
actual expense amounting ~ many
times the money saved on their ferry
| ticket and this is where the humor OF
the situation presents itself.
| Each day, in the late afternoon rush
at the ferry, are many persons who
stop at the ferry entrance and wait for
the mystic hour of five.
| Among these daily walters are men
in broadcloth and silk hats, women in
satins and sealskins, and many others
who possess all outward signs of pros
perity, and yet they stand-of-en with
packages in their arms-in the street
lodging teams and foot passengers,
waiting from five to twenty minutes to
| save a cent.
The nearest saloon receives some
substantial benefit from this desire to
save, for daily passengers, who :.re
waiting for the card to turn, refresh
themselves at it's bar, and chat within
| its comfortable precincts. The daily
saving of about 81 80 in ferry tickets
gives the saloon four times that
amount for stimulants and comforts

| L have watched these gathering
crowds carefully, and it is quite appar-
ent that less than half of their num-
bers need to look SO carefully after a

While boat after boat leaves on the two

but when they see the one cent side of
the card has not been turned, they re-
treat and impatiently wait. They
stand like restless turkeys, first on one
foot and then on the other. shifting
bundles from right to left and left to
right, doing the hardest work for a
cent they ever did in their lives. Then.
when the card is turned and each ons
has won copper, away they go with
rush, crowding the lobby. blockadine,

TIRE FOR INTERVENTION.
Such is the Opinion of William J
Rryan

LINCOLN Neb), March 31-Hon
William ]. Bryan tonight made the
following statement for the Associated
Press in answer to the question. Wheth-
er, in his judgment, the time had ar
rived for the United States to inter
vene in behalf of Cuba and bring the
war to an end:
Yes, the time for intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shall act. Cuba lies almost within
sight of our shores, and the sufferings
of her people cannot be ignored unless
we, as a nation, have become so en-
crossed in money making as to be in
different to distress.
Intervention may be accompanied by
danger and expense, but existence can
not be separated from responsibility,
and responsibility sometimes leads a
nation as we'll as an individual into
danger. War is the only arbiter be-
tween nations when reason and diplom-
acy are of no avail
Our own interests justify interven-
ton. Spain has governed Cuba so bad
ly as to excite continuous revolt, and
after exciting revolt, she has shown
herself poWerless to restore order and
enforce law on the island.
Spanish rule in Cuba has disturbed
the United States, interfered with bust
ness, increased the expense of guarding
our shores and drawn upon the re-
sources of our people to care for those
made destitute by war.
I'VE have as much right to demand
the cessation Of war in the interests
n nlOIlp ho tot &c
Spain has to demand it's continuance
for her own benefit.
IF the Cubans prefer death to Span
ish rule, it must be because Spanish
rule has robbed life of joy and hope.
If nation sows the wind, it must
reap the Whirlwind"

Liuuified Air in America.

At the University of Pennsylvania
yesterday afternoon experiments on a

number of invited guests, the university

cient Importance to invite as many
people to see it as Professor Barker's

fessor Barker conducted the expert

explanatory address on the forms and

had been brought to the university in
a milk can. carefully packed with felt

Centigrade, and yet by taking proper
precautions it may be Kept in the LIQUID

Air has been liquefied before. but
usually in small quantities and at great
cost. An American has perfected a
process by which it can be produced in
large quantities and at a relatively
small cost, and the process promises to
be one of great value in the industrial
arts. The air to be liquefied is first
subjected to great pressure and then
its temperature is reduced by allowing
a part of it to expand rapidly about a
a coil containing the air to be liquefied.
This process of reducing the tempera-
ture Of air under pressure is repeated
until it has passed through three coils
and the temperature has been reduced
to the required point when the air,
under the combined influence of pres
sure and low temperature is reduced to
liquid form. In this form it is main
tained as long as it's temperature is
kept below it's boiling point Upon
exposure to the air it ''boils," but this
may in a measure be prevented by put
ting It in the inner chamber of a double
flask, the space between being exhaust
ed, so that the liquid air shall not be
heated beyond it's very low boiling point
by direct contact with a warmer body.
The process of using the expansion
of the condensed air itself successfully
for the production of extreme cold is
one of great interest and Importance,
and the experiments that may be per-
formed with the liquid air serve to H.
lustrata in a striking manner some i'm
portant physical and chemical theories
1t will be strange indeed if some prae-
tical benefit does not accrue to man
kind frcm the experiments with lique-
fed air which may now be undertaken.
