RIOTS GAS MAINS.
Indiana Cities Fear Explosions May
Follow the Decomposition OF
Pipes by ElectrOlysis.

H. H. Brownell, an expert on cleo
trolysis, called to make an investiga-
ton in gas belt cities, and made SEN
sational report in which he states that
the natural gas mains in Anderson,
Muncie, Marion and other gas belt
cities Of Indiana have been completely
eaten away in many places and that
the situation is serious at points. 1t is
claimed that the pipes along the gas
belt electric railway, both in the cities
and out, have been badly decomposed
and that an explosion is liable to occur
at any time.
The city of Muncie has taken steps
to change the route of the electric rail
way which is being built into that city.
1t will pass over streets where there
are no large mains. Brownell claims
the entire pipe service of these cities
will have to be gone over and that most
Of the pipes will be found in very
dangerous condition.

Rubber-Tfred. Tubular-FrRmed En-
gine to Run Three Miles
Minute,

With rubber-tired railway engine,
built like bicycle and driven by e,ec-
tricity, the seeker of rapid transit will
soon be able to ride from New York to
Philadelphia in 80 minutes, according
to a member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers. Oberlin Smith, of
Bridgeton, N. j., made this prediction
seriously at the closing session of the
society's convention at Cape May.
Numbers of his colleagues nodded their
heads assentingly. "The engine of the
future will be built with tubular
frame and pneumatic tires" said Ober-
lin Smith. "The wheels will have steel
spokes. There is no reason why it
should not run from New York to Phil
adelphia in half an hour" That would
be at the rate of three miles minute,
counting stoppages, if any.

EXPELLED BY BACHELORS.
A Peoria Man II Paying the Penalty
for Violating the Club
RulSS.

Being prevented from taking the
matrimonial vows the other night as
planned, John Loock and Miss Anna
Fuchs, of Peoria, ILL.,, did the next best
thing the other night by officiating as
best man and maid of honor at the
wedding Of Loock's sister, Miss Anna,
to Frederick J. Meidroth.
Loock has had the serious misfor-
tune to be the first member of the
Bachelors club to break his obligation,
which was that he would marry none
other than widow. Falling in love
with Miss Fuchs, he totally ignored his
pledge while under the spell and be-
came engaged to her. The wedding was
set for the other night. Loock was
promptly expelled from the club, fined
five dollars, and told that on the night
of the wedding the club would attend
in full force and discipline him accord
ing to the rites of the society.
Because Of the notoriety which came
to the couple on account of Mr.. Loock's
embarrassing attitude, the parents of
the prospective bride interfered and. as
a result, the wedding is postponed un-
til fall. In the meanwhile Loock is not
only deprived of the bride for whom
he made such Sacrifices, but is scorned
and ridiculed by the Bachelors club.

PRODUCT AND PRICES.
Chief Of Bureau Of Industrial sta
tistics' Annual Report Gives
. Few Facts.

There is no place where the tremen-
dous jump In the production of iron
and steel is made SO manifest as in the
forthcoming report of Capt. James Nj.
Clark, chief of the bureau Of indus
trial statistios of Pennsylvania. The
comparisons are all with the year 1897,
and they show the great upward move
lnent, not only in production, but in
prices.
Last year there was produced in that
state 6,S67,979 gross tons of pig iron, as
against 4,617,634 toms the year before.
The value of the pig iron was $53, 3,331,-
22s, as against $4s,ss4, ,s54 in 1897. In
this industry there were employed al
most $4,000 men, who worked an aver
age of 336 days. Their average yearly
earnings were $442.32, an increase of
nearly seven per cent.
The total production of steel was
6,276,9s4 tons, an increase of 957,562
tons as compared with 1897. The total
production of iron and steel rolled in
finished form last year was 5,537,249
tons, as against 4,714,333 tons the year
before. Its value was S136, ,s20, ,442, as
against $1239O0,771 in 1897.

HIRED GIRL PROBLEM.
A Forward Step to BE Taken at New
YOrk-Bureau of Information
to BE Established.

Another step has been taken in the
effort to solve the hired girl ques-
ton. The Household Economic asso-
citation has made plans to open next
fall bureau of information for the
convenience of employers of domestic
servants and persons seeking service.
Mrs. Shailer, the president of the House
hold Economic association, said:
"A practical, tactful woman will be
engaged as superintendent. She will
examine applicants for places as to their
actual knowledge of the work they pro-
fess to understand.
''If found deficient they will be given
an opportunity to learn what they need
to know in our school of domestic
science.
"There will be clubroom in connec-
ton with the office, in which talks on
cookery and on household sanitation
will be given once week by our teach
ers.
"Once a month there will be social
tea or some entertainment, to which
all girls connected with the bureau will
be invited"

LIQUID AIR AT LOW COST.
Plant Has Been Established d in New
York City and Is In Practical
Operation.

For the first time in this country
plant has been established and prac-
tieally operated for the production OF
liquid air. This plant has been devised
and constructed under the direction OF
Oscar. P. Ostergren and Morix Burger
and is located at 631 West Thirty-third
street, New York city. 1t is capable,
with 100 horse power, developed by
steam, of manufacturing about 1909
gallons of liquefed air in "a hours, or
about gallon minute.
Its practical success is demonstrated
by the two facts that it can produce
hquefied air, comparing equal expend-
iture of power, three times as rapidly
as the best apparatus devised by Prof.
Linde, of Munich, and at cost of about
one-third. Mr.. Ostergren and MIR. Bur-
ger have been working at their process
for about three years and have now per-
fested it, in 30 far as the device itself
Is concerned, although they expect to
improve the machinery SO as to reduce
further the cost of manufacturing the
liquefied air from six- to eight cents a
gallon, as at present, to about two cents
gallon.

Skeleton Of an Entelodon Magnum
Discovered In Oregon.
Party from University of California
Have Dug IL Out Of the Rock In
Eastern Oregon-Head in
Good Condition.

About six weeks ago party from
the University of California went into
Eastern Oregon in search of fossils.
The party consisted of Prof. Merriam,
Rev. DR.. Hatch, of Berkeley, and two
students--Miller and Frank Calkins.
While on Bulge creek young Calkins
Nmade find worth the trouble of the
whole trip. 1t was the skull and jaw
Of an entelodon, an animal allied to the
hog, with a head about three feet long.
In letter from Mitchell, Ore. to a rel
ative in this city Calkins describes his
discovery:
Il found It by single tusk sticking
out OF the cliff. We set to work to dig
1t out, and after few days of desul-
tory picking decided that it could best
be done by pulling down the mass of
rock from above it, nearly twenty feet
high and five feet square. We found
the head in good condition, with the
lower jaw beside it, and a good many
other bones near by. This is the Sec
ond head of this genus that has been
found, at least, in this region"
The two-toed enteiodoii, also spelled
entolodon, has not been very minutely
described by natura! historians, owing
chiefly, 1t is supposed, to lack of pos
tive knowledge. The entelodon mag
mum is species of swine dating from
the early miocene period. 1t is classi-
fed scientifically as a mammal of the
order ungulata, suborder artiodact yla
The entelodon YVES q huge hog, with
great tusks or prolongations of canine
teeth. 1t is believed to have been ON
nivorous. The specimen just found will
supply scientists with information
which they lack concerning this great
extinct hog.

who made themselves famous during

those of Generals Shafter, Wood, Fitz-

oftentimes the signatures were written
by the aides of the generals, so that

As1AT1c SQUADRON.
Secretary Lens Intends Late in the
Summer tn Reduce the For-
midable Fleet.

Late in the summer Secretary Long
will reduce the formidable fleet under
the command of Admiral Watson in
Philippine waters. The purpose of
withdrawing some of the ships is to re-
establish the European station, add a
few vessels to the Pacific squadron,
which is without first-class ship, and
give the officers and men an oppor-
tunity to recuperate from the effects
of the enervating climate of the China
sea. Since the exchange of the ratifi-
cations of the treaty of peace all dam
ger Of international complications in
the east has disappeared, and there is
NO longer any necessity for the pres
cncs Of the first-class warships and the
coast defense monitors.
A large number of smaller craft win
be needed, however, to watch the coasts
of the islands of the Philippine archi-
pelago to prevent the landing of fill
clustering expeditions, but these have
been supplied by the purchase of a
number of small craft, which have been
armed and are now in the service. Be-
sides these, the Charleston, Petrol and
Concord are still on the Asiatic station,
and these will be ample for all needs,
as operations in the future will be con-
Quoted by the army exclusively, ex-
cept when the rebels get near enough
the coast for the navy to participate.
Such vessels as the Charleston and Con-
cord and the smaller gunboats will be
required in the islands indefinitely,
even after the surrender of the Fill
pinos and the restoration of order.
