GREATEST HEAT.
Electrical Furnace Produces n Tenn
perature That Breaks the
Record.

The highest temperature yet pro-
duced by man has been reached by an
especially constructed furnace at the
Columbia university. Prof. Tuckerm,
to whom belongs the honor of the ex-
pertinent, had been working for years
on the idea so successfully carried out
and has finally generated heat 20 de-
grees higher than the record made some
time ago by Prof. Moission, of Paris.
The heat of the sun is estimated at
10000 degrees. The heat generated at
Columbia was $500. The effect was tre-
mendous. The electrical furnace was
charged with current of unusual
power, which was so high that under it
steel, hard quartz and even platinum
were vaporized. AS for ordinary cru
cibles, they disappeared at once in
little puff of smoke. 1t is difficult to
appreciate the degree of such heat with
out some comparisons. .Scalding water
means a temperature of 212 degrees
Fahrenheit and red-hot iron 500 de-
grees. Steel melts at 1900 degrees and
boils like water at $500 degrees. Com
mercially the experiment is very use
full, because it has shown that diamonds
of marketable size and purity may be
made artificially. Further it has
given to commerce two products OF al
most incalculable value-calcium car
bide and silicium carbide. Cincinnati

HISTORIC OLD TOWN.
For Years Cumberland Was the Out

Now 1t Is Busy City, But Material
Progress Has Not Robbed 1t of
Its Truly Picturesque En-
virOnments.
Especial Cumberland (Md) letter.

Especial Cumberland (Md) letter.
The national capital is surrounded
with summer resorts, many of them by
the seashore and many others in the
mountains.
There is nc more beautiful, attractive,
healthful and entertaining resort along
the Blue ridge than this historic place.
For many years, in fact until the close
OF the revolutionary war, this was the
outpost of civilization. Fort Cumber-
land was named after the duke of Cum
berland, who was the commander-in-
chief of the military forces of Great
Britain. Upon the site of Fort Cum
berland to-day there stands an Episco-
pal church which is model of ecclesi-
astical architecture.
1t was from this point that Gen. Brad
dock marched forth with his splendid
army to meet defeat and death near
Connellsville, Pa, and back to this
point Col. George Washington success
fully conducted the surviving members
OF that unfortunate expedition. Upon
the advance ard upon the retreat they
marched through the "Narrows,' a
rugged mountain defile and gap, both
sides of which indicate that by some
CONFUSION of nature the backbone of
the mountain range was broken, and
that through the gorge there must have
rushed some mighty torrent full a thou
sand feet in depth, because the rugged
assures of the rocky walls until this
day manifest evidences of the work of
the water.
He is fortunate who can have oppor-
tunity to visit this historic place, en-
JOY the scenery, and remain for rest,
recreation and healthful recuperation.

A Battle VIII he Fought.

Notwithstanding the settled tradi-

fair to be the field on which the great

by day more powerful, and the infu-

his success. In time he removed and
the place reverted to it's original con-
ditions. The steep road became gully,
and few ventured up to the summit save
lovers of nature, and now and then
a strange mortal who desired to find,
within sight of the busy city, quiet,
silence, death and grave.

Quoted us to the observation tower
from the windows of which we gazed
upon the wealthy and prosperous city
below us, far beyond it to the valley
of Virginia, and over many miles of
the corrugated SUBMITS of the Blue
ridge at every point of the compass.
Senator Wellington took us to the
verge of the cliff, and from that dizzy
height pointed to crevice in the cliff
side, where citizen of Cumberland,
tired of life, adventurously clambered
like cliff dweller and, entering the
cleft, swallowed laudanum and went
into the long and dreamless sleep OF
death. His disappearance was unex-
planned; his immediate family and rel.
atives sought him all over the world
by every available agency. After seven
years had elapsed young man with
adventurous spirit undertook to de-
scend the face of the rock, and came
near losing his life by falling headlong,
when he was startled and Mortified by
suddenly discovering before him the
skeleton of human being. Quickly
recovering his presence of mind the
young man entered the cleft, and there
found an empty laudanum bottle, the
shreds of a vest, watch and chain;
and these articles, after being carried to
the summit and down into the town,
were recognized as relics fixing the
identity of the long lost man.

MOUNTAIN INN. CUMBERLAND, MD.

Thrice fortunate, however, was the
writer who came here as guest of
United States Senator Wellington, who,
although statesman of sagacity and
politician of power, is also an enter
tanning gentleman whose friendship is
wealth. Thrice fortunate again was
the writer in having also the company
of the senator's wife. AS boy and girl,
young man and woman, they joined
hearts and hands in Cumberland, and
their lives have blended in harmony, so
that they twain are one flesh. They
knew everybody here, and everybody
knows them and holds them in high es-
TEEN.
Cumberland, the "Queen City of the
Alleghenies," is environed by scenes of
picturesque beauty and grandeur which
are perhaps not appreciated to their
fullest extent by the people who live
their lives amid these scenes and are
accustomed to mountain heights and
streams; but the visitor and stranger
cannot fail to be deeply impressed
by the splendid views which greet
the eye on the every side, varying from
the quiet dell and the placid flow
of the Potomac's waters to the rugged
magnificence of the "Narrows," through
which flows Wills creek, in the chan
mel made thousands of years ago by
natures self. 1t is notable place.
Once seen it will not be forgotten. On
either side rise the rugged rocks to an
altitude which justly entities it to the
fattering description given it by the
great English novelist, William Make.
peace Thackeray, in the "Virginians."
One of the characters of this famous
book, George Warrington, in his story
of captivity among the French and In
dians, after Braddock's defeat, in de-
scribing his escape and homeward
journey, says: 'The last days march
of my trusty guide and myself took us
down that wild magnificent pass of
Wills creek, valley lying between
cliffs nearly thousand feet high
bald, white and broken into towers like
huge Notifications, with eagles wheel
ing around the SUBMITS of the rocks
and watching their nests among the
crags. And hence we descended to
Cumberland, whence we had marched
in the year before, and where there
was considerable garrison of our peo-
Pile. Oh, you may think it was well
come day when l saw English colors
again on the banks of our native Po-
tomac."
The picture is well drawn, and the
century and half of years which have
backward rolled into the past since
then have not lessened the natural
beauty of the scene. The eagles have
disappeared and so has the English flag,
but the wild magnifcence of the cas-
tellated rocks remains. Through the
narrow defile below them the march of
civilization to the westward has con-
tinued even until now. Around and
about it linger legend and story of the
| old town by the creek and riverside; of
the savages who dwelt there, of their
loves and hates; of the coming of the
pale face" and the gradual disappear
nnce of the Indian race; of the leap of
the savage lover for the sake of the
maiden of his choice; of the Indian
chieftaln, "Will," and many kindred
themes. The Indian and his struggles
against the pale face" are but mem
cries now, and the white man has taken
possession; the region has developed,
