Archaeologists claim that this boat

craft in The evolution OF ships. First
comes the primitive raft Of the abort
sgines, then the canoe, crudely hol-
lowed out Of q tree trunk; next came
canoes Of wood stitched together with

the framework was first set up and
the timbers added afterwards. The
boat found in Ireland represents the
second period.
Sir Thomas says: 'Some wooden
piles were. also found near the boat,
which may have formed part of the
platform or landing place alongside
of which it was moored. In the dis
>tant age, to which we may date this
boat, the Mulltown bog must have

patra as Shakespeare has described it
may be derived from a study of the OBJ
jects taken from the vessels by the
divers, who within a comparatively
recent period went down into the lake
. The mooring rings, formed of lions
and wolves heads, wrought in fine
bronze and executed with excellent ar
tistic taste and skill, show how happily
the ancients employed art for the deco
ration and adornment of the common
and useful things of life.
A number Of tiles have also been
found. One Of the most unlocked for
discoveries is that of the mosaics and
marbles brought up from these ships.
The mosaics of various colors-brown,
blue, yellow, white, green and red-are
MADE OF vitreous paste. The marbles,
red porphyry and green serpentine,
were cut into thin discs and used for
inlaying, either in floors or dados.
In presence of these fragments, the
mind begins to build up pictures of an
tique greatness and luxury and artistic
completeness that renders the Cleo

dream quite within the limits of the
artists and artisans of "the serpent of
old Nile" One understands then also

Does AWAY with Cinders,

The need of a practical spark and
cinder arrester for use on railway loco
motives is apparent to all who travel,
as frequent fires are ignited by the
sparks, and the cinders have dis
agreeable habit of making known their
presence in various ways. George S.
Parshall of Sistersville, w. ", be-
lieves he has designed practical ap-
paratus for the work of confining the
sparks within proper bounds, pic
ture of his locomotive attachment be-
ing shown in the illustration.
At the rear of the smokestack on
the engine is placed branched tube,
with perforated cylinders at the ends
of the branch. The top of the stack
is provided with a detlector, which
throws the smoke and cinders back
into the rear pipe, where the air cur
rent divides, a portion of it passing
out through the top while the main

and railings are cast in metal and

with the name of Caligua carried the
water to the fountains playing amid

gentle waves of the lake. There are

which in the general plan of the vessel

Such is the style and character of
the ships now lying on the thick ooze
OF the bottom of Lake Nemi.
A little distance off, on the farther
shore, rose the Temple of Diana, the
celebrated. Artemisium, that stood
upon an artificial terrace or platform,
having an area or about $4,000 square
meters, has been thoroughly explored
by the late Lord Saville, and the best
of the findings were given to the Brit
ish Museum, where they may now be
seen.
Many suggestions and indications OF
the old life of the temple neighborhood
were brought to light in the excava-
tlons, but imagination is enkindled by
the prospect of the spectacle that
would be revealed to mems eyes if the
project of Prof. Giuria be supported by
the king and carried out to it's COM
pletion.

Natural Gas Industry at Pittsburg. i,
A recent French report recites the
following statistics regarding the nat
ural gas industry In the Pittsburg re-
gfon. The beginning Of the exploita-
tton was in 1882. In 1884 the Phila-
delphia Gas company, which now
controls the industry, was founded.
At present the capital invested Is
about $44,000,000, the area of land ex-
plotted is about $4,000 acres, there
are 1900 gas wells, of which only
some 300 are in use. They produce
more than 3,112,000 cubic metres OF
gas which are distributed through
more than 2,4O0 miles of pipes, en-
ploying some $500 workmen in their
use and care. Some 500 manufac-
tories and 100000 private houses pay
annually about $2,750,000 for the gas
supplied to them.
