The Writing Clergyman.

We read in the papers of all kinds
Of controversies between pastors and
those in the pews Sometimes it is
over church finance. sometimes the
doctrine preached is the snag. some
times it is the music, and sometimes
there is a woman in the case. From
a unique church quarrel. The people
oi ar ultra fashionable East Orange
church are complaining because their
pastor is writing novels. II is not the
quality of the books which they OBJ
iect to. for they have been very sue
cessfu. and several publishing houses
fre reported to have made iiatter!nS
ofters to the young pastor for his next
work The novels are of good moral
tone and of high literary merit The
OF lection is that he writes at all
They hold that a man cannot be good
minister and a good novel writer at
the same time.
They can hardly back up their con-
tentlon by pointing to other clergymen
who have filled both roles. Some of
th.. best novels in our language have
come from men who We're preachers.
Did not "A Sentimental Journey and
| Tristan Snandy' come from the pen
of the Rev. Laurence Sterne? Were
not The Man Without a Country and
other popular fictions written by New
Eneland's Nestor of the pulpit, DR..
Edward Everett Hale? The Rev.
Charles Kingsley, author of West
ward Ho." the Rev. George Croly
author Of "Salathiel. just repub-
lished under the new title of "Tarry
Thou Till Come" the Rev. r. T.
Zoe. author of whole library OF
popular novels: the Rev. John Watson
r.Ian Maclaren'), author of The Bon
rie Briar Bush," and the Rev
Charles NJ. Sheldon, whose In His
Steps" has had larger circulation
are a few other instances that readily
&C me to mind. Perhaps the New Jer-
sey Clergyman is not in the class with
those mentioned, but he should be
given a show. 1t isn't charged that
H.. doesn't preach good sermons or
Sunday, or that he doesn't make his

Hot Water Lakes.

There has been for many years more
or less speculation as to the cause of
hOt-watcr lakes. The most plausible
theory IL that by some subterranean
channel or passage they connect with
volcanic heat ana I'LL with hot water,
Oh the principle Of the range boiler.
This may be the cause Of the Gulf
stream. Somewhere, far below the sur.
face Of the water, there IL an inlet.
where tremendous volume of water
sweeps close into the home of the great
subtcrranean fires. A portion Of the
water Is changed to steam. Some of 1t
may bc thrown out By the eruption of
the volcano. but nm immense current
sweeps up to the surface Of the earth
again, ana pOurs upon the coast a per.
petual stream Of warm water. 1t would
DO an engaging study to follow the
course Of the Gulf stream and dis.
cover. II possible. from what depth It
proceeds, ana by what the heat Is kept
up. There are few more interesting
phenomena than the Gulf stream. Sci.
entists have specialized and geograph.
ers have wondered mt 1t ever since Its
existence was discovered.

DISASTROUS FIRES IN MINES.
Great Wealth Of Anthracite Destroyed
In M amm0th Vein.

In NJ amm0th Vein.
The announcement from TamaQua.
Pa. that the fire In the Mammoth vein.
started In the winter OF 1SGO.G1 In Il
cOlliery within the limits of the town,
has been ut last cut of In one dlrec-
ton, and has burned down to the water
level on the other, where the vein
strikes the Schuylliill. brings to mind
how great has been the destruction by
underground fires Of the unmined
wealth OF cOal In the anthracite re-
gion of Pennsylvania.
Considering the narrow limits Of ter.
ritOry In which the anthracite veins lie,
the loss of irreplaccable natural treas
ure there has been as great. compare
lively. as that wrought by fire In the
forests of this country. The great a.
foot vein In which this TamaQua fire
has for forty years swept on u steady
path Of ruin IL that In which the finest
grade Of anthracite Is always found.
For space Of more than mile In
length every atom Of that coal has
been reduced to ashes In this single
fire.
There have unfortunately been many
other similar fires. Three of the most
ruinOus besides this have been the ia
nous Summit Hill burning mine on the
mountain between Mauch Chunk and
Tamaqua, the Empire mine fire ut
Wilkesbarre, the Butler mine fire ut
PittstOn. All three fires We're In col.
leries where the vein lay high ON the
mountain side, with pOpulOus towns In
the valleys below, thus making them
more difficult to combat. Both the EN-
pire and the Butler mine communicated
SO closely with other underground
workings that 1t was an imperative ne
cessity to lind q method to cut them
of. as 1t eventually became cOmpul-
sorry In regard to the Tamaqua tire,
now under control.
The Summit Hill burning mine. for
more than thirty years pointed out to
the thousands of tourists who stopped
at Mauch Chunk for ride over the
famed switchback, was left to burn
itself out. The earth's surface gradual.
ly sank In above 1t, leaving the whole

SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

Germany has created the idea of n
lance boat and adopted 1t to army uses
In the cavalry corps. All that Is needed
for the lance boats Is waterproof COW
or. from twelve to sixteen lances. and
few cross.sticks. The lances forming
the framework can be tied together by
the troopers in five minutes. In another
boat is ready for launching. Oars are
made. lance and a blade composed
of canvas fastened to stout pieces of
stick. Sometimes. to secure further
stability, lances are laid across two
boats. binding them together. One
horse can easily carry two boats when
packed up. On the old system 1t would
require 1000 men and $500 horses
merely to look after the transfer of the
boats IL every squadron were supplied
with two boats. With the new boats,
however. only 800 horses are needed,
ana in the item Of fodder alone there
IL a saving of S137,JOO n year.
"A resident of Sweden. Count X. A.
Posse, has invented Il boat.stopping ap.
paratus, which will prevent collision
and facilitate the maneuverlng of large
vessels. Consul Nelson ut Bergen says
that recent experiments have been
made on n steam launch accommodate.
Ing 1GO persons, with an engine Of
thirty indicated horsepower, making
nine knots nm hour. The new apparatus
consists of shutters. applied on the
starbonrd and port sides, about one.
fourth Of boat length from the stern.
These can be- opened and shut by
means Of II lever applied on the deck.
and placed so as to he easily maneu-
vered by the hclmsmnn. The shutters
consist Of two qundrllatcral steel
plates, with special packing boxes In
the so.cnlled shutter houses. Expert
ments showed that when the launch
was going ut full speed II could he
stopped In fifteen seconds at half a
boat length by reversing and extending
the shutters. Consul Nelson says the
apparatus may be applied to any
steamer. The invention has been pat.
cntcd In all the leading countries.
