WILLIAM O,RRIEN.

fore the public a man who has been
Extraordinarily patriotic, and who has
endured much for his political princi-
pies. AS journalist and parliamenta-
rian he has achieved a splendid repu-
tation for ability and independence
and even those who have disagreed
with him and have deprecated the
means he has at times employed in
behalf of his native land could not but
admire his pluck and genius.
william OBrien is about 50 years
Of age. He began his career as a re-
porter of the Cork Daily Herald in
1869, and filed this position for six
years. Then he became an editorial
writer for the Freeman's Journal. later
founded the United Ireland and more
recently established the Irish People.
His achievements in journalism We're
responsible for his election to parlia-
ment in 1883 as a representative OF
Cork, and for twelve years he was one
of the leaders of the Irish party in the
house of commons. In 1898 he retired,
owing to dissensions in the party. but
last year returned to parliament.
O'Brien has been prosecuted nine
times for political offenses, and has
spent two years in prison.

Lyncbfng Fad Gets q Check.

\ police official of Connellsville,
Pa, is entitled to credit for an in
terCsting and instructive object lesson
N the matter of dealing with lynchers.
When a mob assaulted the town Jail
and demanded their victim early the
other morning this official resorted to
tactics of his own As the mob num-
bered about 1000 he had fairly good
reason for considering himself over
powered and yielding the keys under
force. He might have fired at the
crowd, which would probably have
FASTENED the lynchIng along. Instead
If threatening the mob, however he
let 1t be understood that he recog-
nized his disadvantage, merely re-
marking that while he could not fight
a mob he would take occasion to kill
the first man who broke in. The mob
as a mass was courageous enough to
do anything, but as a collection of in
dividuals it was baffled. However
many OF its members might have been
willing to be the second man into the
Jail, natural reluctance to be the
| first made them pOwerless. The first
man falling to make known his pres
enCe, the other 1899 concluded that
! 4 lynching would not be worth while.
| The Connellsville ofticials example is
worthy Of attention by jailers in com
munities where lynching is a fad.

Northwich, the center of the salt
industry of Great Britain, is one of
the queerest towns in the world. The
whole underlying country is simply
one mass of salt. The mining of the
salt constitutes the staple industry
of the district and from Northwich
alone 200 900 tons of salt are shipped
annually. When the industry was
started it was considered that only
one stratum of salt existed and that
was only a few feet below the surface
Fresh water found its way to this ex-
tensive salt deposit with the result
that the salt dissolved like snow. A
huge subterranean lake of water
charged with 90 per cent of salt, was
thus formed. Pumping engines We're
installed to convey this brine to the
surface to large cvaporating pans
The result of this extensive PUMPING
is that Northwich now rests. as il
We're. upon a shell of earth, which at
times proves insufficient to support
the weight Of the town with the con
sequence that the building are con.
stantly collapsing in every direction.

from the atmosphere. The products of
the vaporization will rise through the
return coil to the top of the reservoir,
where the pressure is utilized to force
the liquid continuously into the dis
charge pipe, in addition to driving the
fan. This latter result is accomplished
by allowing the compressed vapor TO
pass downward through the central
tube TO small turbine just above the
fan blades, where its force is expended
against the wings. As the vapor is of
very low temperature it Is desirable
TO utilize 1t after ii leaves the turbine

pipes into the arms carrying the fan
blades, where the air is discharged in
