SUPPLY
May Not Be In
exhaustible,
But There Will Be Plenty
Of Natural Gas
For Many Years to Come, Says a
Learned Writer.

OF especial interest in Akron, be-
cause of the question often asked by
local people concerning that subject,
Is an article in the Scientific Ameri-
can as to tie natural gas supply. The
article says:
During the past decade many new
gas fields have been exploited, and IN
this way the production has been kept
to a fair average during the past ten
or twelve years. In 1888 the value of
the natural gas produced was about
So 100000, while the value of the an
nual production at present exceeds
$15,000,000. The value of the natur-
al gas utilized in Pennsylvania in 1885
was $10,0O0000, while the annual val
ue of this product in the State today
is about $7,OOOOO0. The fields Of OLiO
and Indiana are about holding their
own, while West Virginia has been a
heavy gamer in the output Of this pro-
duct during the past year There are

nearly 1900 miles of pipe, the pro-
duct being used by more than half a
million domestic fires, half Il hundred
iron mills and steel works, 200 glass
houses and 3,COU other Industrial es
tablisbments,-
The general use of natural gas for
industrial operations has done much to
abate the smoke nuisance In cities, and
with the economic use of this fuel its
exhaustion will not be accomplished
for years to come. Biologists have not
yet settled conclusively whether or
not gas Is still forming, but the fact
remains that many new wells are be-
ing brought in each year. A fact in
connection with the introduction Of
natural gas iutO the iron and steel and
allied manufacturing industries Is that

In industrial operations. 1t was III the
iron and steel plants of that city that

to the uses of modern industry. Today

1 he Difference Between Better and
Oleomargarine.

The housekeeper who asks for genu-
inc article, and pays for it, should not be
troubled by suspicion that he is eating
something else. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture recognizes this
need, and sends out from time to time
directions for testing food products by
simple means.
Oleonargarine and process" or ere
novated' butter are the subjects of one
of the latest of these pamphlets. The
first, as is generally known, is not butter
at ALL but a manufactured substitute.
The latter is product of miscellaneous
assortments of butter which have been
gathered from various sources by country
grocerS, and, after being kept sometimes
for considerable periods, are worked
over into homogeneous article. 1t may
not be impure or offensive to the taste,
but as its chemical characteristics differ
from those of real dairy butter, it is use
full to be able to distinguish between
them.
The simplest experiment, and one of
the most effective, is that known as the
boiling test. 1t consists merely in boil
ing small portion of the sample, and
observing its behavior meantime. "A
piece the size of a small chestnut is suffi-
cient. 1t may be placed in an iron spoon
and held over the flame of a spirit stove.
AS it melts and begins to boil it should
be thoroughly stirred, particularly on the
outer edges, with a splinter of wood.
Genuine butter boils with very little
noise, and produces an abundance of
foam. Oleomargarine and "renovted"
butter boil noisily, suffering somewhat
like a mixture of grease and water, and
produces little or no foam.

The Household.
Greenery for the Winter.

October is the time to pick up fallen
acorns and chestnuts ready for growing
at home during the late autumn. In win
ter's dreariest days the little trees are
at their very best, and their bright young
green has a delightfully."- cheering eff

The process of rearing miniature for

NIL
Let us begin with the acorns. Choose
a dozen or eighteen large ones, and care
fully inspect for insects; if at all eaten
discard them in favor of sound speci-
mems. Fill an array of small topped
vases quite full of water, and put one
acorn on the top of each, small end up
permost, with the water coming rather
higher than half way up. Change the
water once week, and fill up every day
to maintain the required level, using rain
water if possible.
Supposing so many little vases difficult
of acquisition a satisfactory substitute
may be made by using wide mouthed
jar provided with wire cover having
half inch square openings-the sort of
thing that used to be called rose wires
and having filled the jar with water
right up to the wire set one acorn in each
square. A piece of coarse netting tied
over the jar answers just as well as a
wire. The acorns in their bath should
be kept in a rather shady place until they
begin to sprout, when they may be moved
into the sun. and their bath be daily
turned round, lest they grow crooked
Chestnuts are even easier to cultivate
for they may be laid right down in a
flat pan with sufficient WATERMAN, if
possible-to merely submerge them; and
if covered loosely with moss they will do
splendidly. In their case the water
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1901-10-16

should be occasionally changed-poured
off without disturbing the chestnuts
The number placed ready for growing
should be regulated by the size of the
pan-room for one between each two is a
very good system-that when in leaf the
little trees may not be overcrowded.
They grow about a foot high, and
when in their prime look just like tiny
forests.

obliged to spend many winter days with
in doors, find their cultivation pleasing

letting it remain till one-half of milk is
absorbed. Bake three quarters of an
hour. If cocoanut is not sufficiently
sweet, it is we'll to scatter powdered
sugar between layers before baking.

LITERARY NOTES.

Miss Sarah Orne Jewett's novel, "The
Tory Lover" will be published by
Houghton, Mitflin & Co., about the
twentieth of September. 1t is at once
the longest and the strongest book that
Miss Jewett has yet written. 1t is a
story Of the revolution, and the stirring
scenes and powerful passions of the
time give it highly dramatic character
Paul Jones figures picturesquely in it,
and the exploits of his Ranger on the
seacost of England lend vivid light to
it. The spirit of the epoch is finely re-
produced, and the tory lover, Roger
Wallingford, who became patriot for
love of Mary Hamilton, is noble char
acter, while Mary Hamilton herself is
one of the most attractive heroines in
modern fiction. The story will contain
several illustrations by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles H. Woodbury..

bility may be endued with grace, wis
dom and understanding. But, are the
nobility spared from insanity, imbe-
cility, gracelessness and ignorance? Are
religious people delivered from insanity
more often than the irreligious?
The Rev. Byron Beall seems to forget
that there is growing feeling in the
United States very intensely opposed to
the belief that the general laws Of ma
ture may be suspended by human
prayer. In the Psalms the belief is
frequently expressed that the descend
ants of the righteous shall continue, and
that those Of the wicked shall surely
fail. But this faith is not verified by
the history of the English peerage, nor
by the history of prominent political
personages whose names are recorded in
the United States.
Rev. Byron Beall should give statisti-
cal data more recently gathered up than
that which he details from the Old
Testament.
Finally, if the Rev. Byron Beall were
compelled to sail out into storm -lashed
sea and he were given the choice of two
steamships leaving port at the
same moment of time, one of them
manned completely with experienced,
but profane and wicked sailors from the
captain down, and the other wholly in
charge of good Christian prayer-makers
unskilled in nautical matters and un-
used to ocean storms, OH which craft
would the Rev. Byron Beall embark?
Would he have faith in the skilled
sailors who are sinners or the unskilled
prayer-makers who are Christians?

ing to Europe. But that institution
has taught our gardeners, our wealthy
amateurs, and the public at large the
great value of our native growths, and
how for beauty and climatic suitability
they are best adapted to local con-
ditions. Today, there is hardly park
in the country that does not bear wit
ness to the influence of the Ar
mold Arboretum. The services of the
great institution stand freely at the dis
position of everybody. Any one who
chooses, may avail himself of the re-
suits of it's Investigations and make
practical use of it's new introductions
from other parts Of the world. Economic
horticulture and timber culture are
thus obtaining immense benefits.
"This important work has been car
ried on at a singularly small cost. The
city of Boston has spent over half
million dollars in fulfilling it's contract
with Harvard University-a contract
that insures the existence of the Ar
boretum, both as a scientific institution
and as public pleasure-ground for at
least thousand years, and guards the
university against any temptation to
realize on it's land value, which already
is estimated at over two million dollars.
The museum building and the unsur-
passed herbarium were given by Mr.. H.
H. Hunnewell, but the original fund,
increased to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars by the accumulation of
interest, has remained the sole endow-
ment. The Arboretum is national in it's
usefulness and scope. With broader
endowment it's usefulness to the whole
world could be widely increased, and
the scientific name of America greatly
broadened."

restoration to health when sick, get long

quently than those who do not pray?
The prayer for life, the supplication to
be spared from death, is undoubtedly
the most frequently uttered of any.
There are many families which for
generations have been praying families,
fully believing in the efficacy of prayer,
and in all their generations they have
asked to be allowed to live long in the
land of their fathers. Do the records
show that such families are endued
with greater longevity than non prayer
making families? If praying for long
life through lengthy line of ancestry
has resulted in giving long life to any
families in this country or any other,
why have not the life insurance COM
panies found this out? And when ask
ing whether your ancestors were of a
tuberculous diathesis, whether your
grandfather or your grandmother ever
had chronic rheumatism, and a whole
lot Of similar questions besides, why do
they not ask whether you are descended
from an extended line of ancestry given
to praying for long life? If prayers for
longevity in certain families have been
efficacious, it is rather strange that the
life insurance companies have not found
it out and made a special reduced rate
for the descendants of prayer makers.
If making prayers at the bed of the sick
had proved efficacious, would not the
modern doctor be accompanied by
prayer maker to every bedside? Every
intelligent physician would have a
prayer maker partner accompany him
in visiting his patients.
Public prayers for the sovereigns of
every state, Protestant and Catho-
lie alike, have been, in the spirit Of the
Episcopalian prayer-book which asks
that the president here and the sovereign
in England may be granted health long
to live. But have the members of the
royal houses of Great Britain averaged
a longer life than the unprayed-for
members of the medical profession or
the English gentry? On the contrary,
they have averaged only 64.4
years, while the gentry have averaged a
longevity of 7O.22 years. The sover-
eigns of Great Britain have been the
shortest lived of all those having the
advantage of affluence. The clergy,
lawyers and medical men in England
show an average of SO years for the first
class, 68 years for the second
and 67 years for the third.
Thus, it is observed that the
prayer for royal persons seems to have
