constructed 70 such a height that the
escaping gases produce no harm.
On account OF this condition the Royal
Saxon smelling works. at Halsbrucke. in
Freiberg, Germany, were compelled to
build a high chimney, which can safely be
considered to be the highest and most
chimney has a height above the surround
ing plane Of $50 feet. The height OF the
chimney itself is 42e feet 6 inches, and the
square base is % feet 6 inches. and there
fore at the time of it's completion. in 1889.
was the highest chimney in the world. The
top internal diameter is over eight feet.
This enormous height did not suffice tn
supply sufficient security for the surround
ing neighborhood against the outgoing
gases. and therefore this chimney was
erected upon one OF the adjoining highest
hills. which is 1877 feet higher than the
smelling works, situated in the valley. In
consequence Of this position, the chimney
obtains an additional height, an increased
efficiency equivalent to a height of over 656
feet.
Notwithstanding a great saving by the
construction Of the hue and utilizing nature
for the additional height, the chimney
alone cost over $31, 900. the construction OF
l,C4O feet of fue $3.50 hence the total cost
is about $4,000. including excavations.

the two latter items cost $3.50. But even
this tremendous cost has been a good in

surrounding property holders since the
erection of this bis chimney; whereas be-
fore divers claims had 10 be satisfied TO the
extent of 40 per cent. according to govern
mental decisions.

Baltimore Herald.

A departure in the economical admins
tration of the public-schoOl system is re-
ported from Washington county,, where the
School Commissioners have deemed it
cheaper TO pay the trolley fare of six col
ored children from Funkstown to Hagers-
town and back each day rather than estab-
lish a school for colOred children i'm the
former town. The School Board calculates
that the cost of maintaining a school at
Funkstown would be about $270 a year,
while the cost of the trolley fares amounts
to less than $l00. The spreading out Of
trolley systems in rural districts may sug-
gest to other communities a solution of the
problem of extending the advantages of
education to youth who live in sparsely-
settled communities.

GREENSBURG, Ind, Sept. 22.-The peo-
pie of this city were surprised TO hear that
charges of improper conduct had been pre-
ferred against the Rev. ]. w. Maxwell, of
Cannelton, Ind, and that the investigating
committee appointed by the conference now
in session at Bedford had recommended
that he be withdrawn under charges. Rev.
Maxwell was pastor of the Centenary NJ.
r. Church here two years before he was
sent to Cannelton. Some charges of i'm
proper conduct were made against him
while he was pastor of the church here, but
the people believed the charges to be I'M
true. There were some diSsensiOns in the
church here during his pastorate because
he sometimes delivered political speeches
from the pulpit. He was a strong Prohi-
bitionist. and was a delegate TO the ma
tional Prohibition convention in 1900.
