Preparations are being made by the
United States Steel corporation for
the erection of "A rcfrigeratng plant
AT the Lucy furnaces of the Carnegie
company, at Pittsburgh, which will
probably figure largely in revolution
AIRY reductions in the cost of making
pig iron. The plant, while an expert
mental one. will be built on CONNER
cial basis and will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. The idea is to deprive
the air of a large percentage of its
moisture by precipitatng and freez-
'nT the water before the blast is sent
mo the furnace. Blast furnace own
crS have found that in winter, when
the air is cold, dry and crisp, they can
make pig iron more cheaply than in
summer, when the air is filled with
moisture.
The experiment will be watched
with interest by all blast furnace men.

His words carried conviction, and the
party seized their shoyels and hurried
TO the spot at once. They found it coy

turtles. Below was little dirt, and then
they struck a layer Of gravel.
Tom Scott was working with all his
might. lie had taken about a foot OF
gravel from the place about yard
square, when, as he drove his shovel
down, it struck something which felt
like a rock. \ moment later he had laid

CHAPTER MI.
DIGGING 4 FORTUNE.

Hank Bowers did not for a moment
imagine that the big bowlder had fallen
by accident. On the contrary lie real
lied it had been purposely rolled there
10 prevent his ingress It followed,
then, that he had been seen approach
inc the cliff.
There must be some sort Of valley
behind this ere cliff" he concluded. as
he stood measuring the distance to the
top Of the obstructing stone with his
eye. IAN that Teller won't keep me out
of il long"
With a confident air he retraced his
steps 10 the opening and removed the
packs from his horses. Then he took
a coil Of rope on his arm and entered
the cleft once more.
Bowers had been a cowboy once and
was an expert with the lasso. lie had
noticed a sharp spur on the upper side
of the barrier, and with deXterous cast
he looped his rope around it at the first
attempt. Then with an agility really
remarkable in so large man he drew
himself up about 20 feet, until he was
able 10 secure a foothold and Chamber
over the top.
To his surprise he saw no one, and
without the least sign of fear he
climbed up the short distance remain
ing TO be traversed and appeared be-
fore the astonished eyes of the little
group. who were even then discussing
the noise they had heard few mo-
ments before.

His impudence kept the others quiet

The troubles that too long prayers
can cause are emphasized by recent
happenings in the First Congregation
al church at Braddock, Pa. A lead
ing member, who was active in the
erection of the congregations new ed
ifice, was addicted to the habit OF long
prayers. Other members thought they
we're not getting a fair show and
voiced this complaint to their pastor.
The pastor, Rev. Clarence Greeley, a
nephew of Horace Greeley, thought SO,
too. and promised to see about it. He
labored with the longwinded brother
and asked him to cut his prayers
shorter, if possible. The praying
member retorted by asking his pastor
to resign. This Rev. Mr.. Greeley
obligingly did Monday. Now the ma

A unique feature of the electric light

like the rabbit, either for use or orna-

question of national Importance.
