Crossley rejecting telescope of that
institution has made about 70 photo
graphs of nebulae during the past
year. showing many new features from
which highly interesting conclusions
may be drawn. On nearly every photo
graphic plate exposed. from one to
sixteen new nebulae have been found,

number OF new nebulae in the sky
within reach of the Crossley telescope
may be as great as 10000. How the

did you ever hear of an edible
known as hot slash p" asked O cit
izen who always keeps an eye open for
life's little oddities. MOP Well, I'm
not surprised. 1 discovered it my
self only through chance visit to the
river front. 1t was about IL o'clock
in the morning, and / was loafng
around the far end of the north
eastern fruit wharf, waiting for a
man, when strapping big negro
rushed up and bawled out: Hot
Blashl' l supposed he was address
ing himself to me, but before I could
think up some graceful and appropri-
ate bit of repartee at least dozen
other strapping darkies came tum-
bling out from behind pile of bar
rels, where crap game had evidently
been in progress, and started on q
dead run for near by alley-way.
None of them had asked any quess
tions, and, needless to say, my Gu
riosity was highly excited, SO !
trailed along in the rear, and at the
other end of the alley found the
whole crowd, with numerous addi-
tions, clustered about small covered
wagon, from which mulatto was
selling smoking hot loaves Of bread
at a nickel apiece. AS each loaf was
called for he split it open and satu-
rated the interior with molasses from
a can in the vehicle. That was hot
slash. It seemed to be a local sub
strtute for the merchants lunch,
which appears about the same hour
in the retail district up town.
asked one of the darkies whether it
was good, and his reply, while word
less, was extremely eloquent. The
lower half of his countenance was
buried in a fresh section of hot slash
at the moment, and nothing was Wis
ible except his eyes, which he rolled
upward until they resembled a couple
of white celluloid pool balls. Then he
closed them, very slowly. like man
in an ecstasy, and at the same time
made a gurgling sound in his throat.
After that pantomime was strongly
tempted to try piece of hot slash

SPEED OF CABLE MESSAGES.
Twelve Words a Minute over a
Length of $3.50 Miles to BE


In operating long cables very deli
cate instruments are required, and
the currents arriving at the receiving
end are very feeble in comparison
with those employed in landline sig
mailing. The longer the cable, natur-
ally, the feebler the impulses aris-
ing at the receiving end. A short
cable, a cable of under 1000 miles be-
ing generally considered short cable,
gives speed Of signaling amply suf-
fcient for all purposes with con-
ductor weighing about 100 pounds to
the mile, surrounded by an insulat-
ing envelope of gutta-percha weigh
ing about AN equal amount. When
we come to cable of about twice this
length, it is found necessary, in order
to get a practically unlimited speed.
that is, speed as high as the most
expert operator can read it, to employ
core Of $50 pounds of copper to the
mile, insulated with 400 pounds of
gutta-percha to the mile. These are
the proportions of copper and gutta-
percha in the 1894 Anglo-American
Atlantic cable, which is considered the
record Atlantic cable for speed of
working, and has been worked, by au-
tomato transmission, at the rate of
some As words minute
The type of cable proposed for the
Vancouver-Fanning section of the
British Pacific cable, as designed by
Lord Kelvin, is to have core of 552
pounds of copper and s6s pounds of
gutta-percha to the mile, and is cal
culated to give a speed Of - words
per minute, over a length of $3.50
miles. It is not considered safe to
adopt a very much heavier core than
this, for the reason that the weight
Of the complete cable with a core
that should weigh more than about
half ton to the nautical mile would
be SO great that picking it up for re-
pairs from a depth of 1900 fathoms
would be an extremely difficult and
hazardous operation.-Scribner's.

APPROACHING EXHAUSTION.
Natural Gas Fields OF Ohio aud Indiana
tho 0eologieai Survey Says, VIII
Soon Run Ont.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The annual
report of the geological survey on
natural gas will show that the total
value of natural gas produced and
marketed in the United States during
the past year was $20,O24, S73, a gain
of nearly $5,OOO,OOO over the previous
year. This gain was largely due to
the increased amount of gas produced,
but also. in measure, to the in
creased price charged consumers. One
of the startling statements which is
included in the report and which will
be matter of news to those who are
not familiar with the gas fields is
this:
1t is, unfortunately. true that both OF
the great gas-producing fields. large as
they once were, are approaching exhauS-
ton. large area Of the Indiana divi-
sion has yielded up over one-half Of the
volume Of natural gas once stored in
its great reservoir. The unjustifiable
waste in all the gas fields has been enor-
nous, all the fields show loss of pressure,
and the old field in northwestern Ohio
is nearly exhausted. That of Indiana
is undergoing rapid decline.

New York, Oct. 23.-Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood, governor of Cuba, arrived
on the Yucatan, having been sum
moned by telegraph. Before leaving
for Washington, Gen. Wood said:
''The impending event is the meeting
of the constitutional convention or
November S. The Cubans have five OF
six cases of disputed elections to set
tie" Glands Off, the general de-
clared, was his policy, for he wants
the Cubans to manage every detail,
of their constitution making.
II shall declare the convention
open," he said, land leave the dele
gates to their own devices. There will
be absolutely nothing that can bt
tortured into the shape of American
coercion. l conjecture that the con
stitution will closely resemble thai
of the United States. The delegates
I understand, have many drafts
from Argentina's to that of the
United States. The majority of the
Cubans are friendly in the highest de-
gree to the United States, to the adj
ministration, and to the resident rep
resentatives of the government"

ANTI-1MPER1AL1sr ADDRESS.
Tho League Calls Independent Voters to
Support Bryan for Prssldent-McKin-
ley's Colonial Policy Coudenned.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-The American
Anti-Imperialist league issued an adj
dress last night to 'all independent
voters in the United States" asking
them to support Bryan for president.
1t says: eve regard with profound
apprehension the course of the pres
ent administration in Porto Rico and
the Philippines. Our prior aequisi-
tions were of adjacent territory for
the extension of the area of cOnsti-
tutional government and the crea-
ton of new states of the union. We
made their few Inhabitants citizens;
our people settled them; we there
established the institutions of free
dom. For the first time in our his
tory it is now proposed that the presi-
dent and congress shall rule vast ter
ritories and millions of men outside
our constitutional system"
The address winds up by saying this
is "a greater danger than we have
encountered since the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth-the danger that we are
to be transformed from a republic,
founded on the declaration of indie
pendence, guided by the eounsels of
Washington, into a vulgar, common
place empire, founded on physical
force
