LONG FIRES.
ards.

Attention is again called to ahe coal
fire at Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania. This
fire has been burning for more than
twenty-five years. 1t started by the
falling in of part of a mine which
destroyed a steam engine that had been
located under ground, unlike the pres
ent methods of carrying steam into the
mines by pipes from plant on the sur
face Of the ground. The fire in the fur
mace Of the engine set fire to the coal,
and from that day to this, in spite of
every attempt to put the fire out, it has
gone on, and will continue to go on, de-
stroying one Of the most valuable coal
properties in Pennsylvania. The area
has been limited by cutting deep
trench through the vein, so that the
fire now has an isolated area in which
to exhaust itself. So far, however, as
duration is concerned, this fire is insig-
which is now burning in coal deposit
on the banks of the Mackenzie river In
Canada. The fire was accidentally
started by an expedition passing down
the river toward the close of the last
century, and now, although over hun
dred years have gone by, it is still
burning fiercely and promises to con-
tinue to thus burn for an indefinite time
in the future.
These are indeed long fires, but they
are as naught compared with the fire
which is burning in the worlds interior
department or the fire in that terrible
lake which burneth with fire and brim-
stone.

is so much thought here that anybody
who has eyes to see can any day see
the thought waves agitating the air
above the city, just as one can see the
heat making the air above a red-hot
stove culver. They do not think like
that in Hartford, even when the legis-
lature Is in session. Hartford is more
celebrated for talking than thinking.

Il MODERN MIRACLE.

Though there is nothing new under
the sun there will be something new
under the moon and stars on the night
of February 3, if the Chicago Tribune
speaks truly. Then the local societies
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology Of Chicago, Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and st. Louis will hold
their annual banquets, and only one
toastmaster will be required to preside
over the five different banquets. The
five halls will be connected by long dis
lance telephones so as to make it posi-
BILE for each society to participate in the
others enjoyment. Speeches from Gov
errior Roosevelt of New York, Thomas
A. Edison and others will be heard in
each of the banqueting halls AT each
plate besides the regulation number of
wine glasses and knives and forks will
be placed a tiny oblong telephone re-
ceiver, and Immediately after the punch
has been served the. diners, holding the
little instrument to their ears, will lis
ten to AFTER dinner speeches hundreds
of miles away. The most prominent Of
the longdistance speakers will not be
present personally at any of the ban
quets, and it will be the duty of the tel
ephone people to arrange for the con-
nection at whatever place the speaker
happens to be when called upon for his
speech.

FRENCH SUBMARINE BOATS.

1t was noted in the summary or the
French navy estimates for the coming
wear that the minister of marine pro-
poses to commence at once the building
of six submarine boats. 1T IS natural
that the secrecy should be observed con-
corning their mechanism, but 1t is use
full to call attention to the French sub
marine boats already in existence. The
experiments which had been made with
the trial boats, the Gymnote and the
Gustave Zede WERE it would appear,
sufficiently satisfactory to induce the
ministry of marine to ord the building
OF a third, to be called the Morse. That
little submarine vessel will be completed
in May next. The motive power Of
these three boats is electricity.
According to NJ. Mare Landry who Is
an EXPERT in naval matters, and writes
in the Figaro, some very interesting eX-
periments have just been made with the
Gustave Zede at Toulon. 1T attacked
and struck the Magenta twice with
dummy torpedo. In the first case the
Magenta was at anchor, and in the sec
ond that great vessel was going at full
speed. In this latter case the subma-
rine boat remained stationary under
water, awaiting the passage of the iron
clad. Unless the crew of the Gustave
Zede had been able to see it would have
been impossible to strike the approach
ing ironclad with torpedo. M. Marc

Landry declares that two naval officers
have succeeded in constructing an in
strument by which the captain OF sub
marine boat, even when immersed, can
scan the horizon. 1t probably consists
of an optical tube. which can be raised
or lowered at will by the crew in the
boat. 1t is, however, necessary to state
that secrecy is preserved concerning the
nature Of this optical instrument.
There is another submarine boat, the
Narval, now baing built in Cherbourg
arsenal, and it Is stated that the six
submarine boats provided for in the
budget of 1899 will be Of that type.
They will have a displacement Of one
hundred and six TONS and be thirty
metres across the beam. Their engines
will be of two hundred and seventeen
horsepower. The armament is to con-
sist of four torpedo tubes. Each boat
will require crew Of two officers and
nine seamen. Their estimated cost is
only 1850 francs each. The Narval is
the outcome of the competition issued
by M. Lockroy when he was minister of
marine three years ago. In that COM
petition M. Loboeuf an eminent naval
engineer, gained the first prize for his
plans Of a submarine torpedo-boat, the
Narval. When navigating on the sur
face this vessel will use steam as its
motive power, and electricity when it Is
immersed. When sinking below the
surface of the water the funnel is to be
drawn in, and all the apertures hermet-
ically closed. AS long as there is suffi-
cient steam in the boilers that motive
power will continue to be used, but
when it is exhausted the screw will be
turned by dynamo. 1t will be posi-
bic to reoharge the accumulators by the
aid of the steam engine while the vessel
is navigating on the surface.-Paris

You don't have to play football to get
hurt The other day young son of
Charles Wemple, OF Westervelt, Staten
Island, was putting on his sisters over
shoes, and in giving one of the rubbers
a sudden jerk he hurt his left arm near
the shoulder. He persisted that his arm
was broken, although the members of
his family would not believe it. DR..
Walser was called in, and found the
member fractured near the shoulder by
the spasmodic contraction of the large
shoulder muscle. Dr. Walser says the
only similar case he is able to find is
that of a child who was taking pic
ture from wall, fracture of the same
nature resulting from sudden twist of
the arm.
