E. Beckwith formerly in the calendar business here.
 In San Francisco Mir. Whitney visit ed his younger brother for ten days and then departed to return east through the Canadian Rockies. having gone out through Denver, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles.
 In San Francisco, although some twenty thousand new buildings have been built to replace thoe destroyed by the earthquake and fire, Mir. Whit ney says there are still thousands of lots filled with twisted iron and the debris left from the fire, that have nev- CT been claned up. He was not fav- orably impressed with San Francisco climate, where on six of the ten days he was there he wore his overcoat for a part of each day in July, and felt out of place wearing straw hat, as none of the natives affected this style of headgear.
 MT. Whitney escaped the July hot spell which the east suffered under, but found the temperature uncomfort- able for travelling on the homeward trip after he left St. Paul and Mime apolis He occupied less than two weeks in going out and about three weeks and a half in returning east

Having travelled something close to S,600 miles. according to a casual est
 mate, and described loop over the much of the United States and Canada, Charles E. Whitney, the well known local real estate agent, reached his home here on Friday shortly before noon, coming by the Central Vermont from Montreal on the last stage of his journey.

 tram was on HeoFerSe or a serious QlS- astar. While making high speed, the rear wheels of the rear pair of trucks | on the tender of the locomotive jumped the track and ran for a mile before they were discovered and the train stopped. When the passengers got out of their sleepers they found the track for a mile behind the train full of the splinters cut from the ties while every bolt for the same distance had been
 cut off clean on the outside of the rail. MT Whitney secured one of the bolt heads for a souvenir. The accident happened fortunately, on a straight stretch of road

STRANGE MOONLIGHT SIGHT ON MONTVILLE ROAD
 Woman Void of Clothes Seen by Auto Parties.

Two Norwich men coming over the Montville road from New London Thursday night saw something in the bright moonlight which they were al- most decided to call a ghost or an hallucination until two more men fol- lowing in a machine a little behind them reported the same thing. Both had seen a woman in the road at some little distance from them, apparently without a stitch of clothes on, who ran over behind a gateway when the first machine came along, but was out in tha road again when the second ma chine came, tossing her arms around her head a $ the men in the first ma chine had seen her doing. The strange sight was located near the schoolhouse this side of the witch hazel mill
 Inquiry at the state hospital on Fri day evening disclosed no patient who had escaped and might be the peculiar acting woman, and the local police have no information which would throw any light on the subject.

MELTS STEEL AWAY
Marvellous Power Of New, ,0xy,
aceteIine BIoW-Pipe.
Cuts as Clearly as Saw and Goes
More Quickly Through Inch Steel
Than Saw Would Through
Wood.

Chicago.-Every day practical
demonstration Is being given on the
streets of a new device before the
marvellous power Of which steel be-
comes like paper. -.
The oxyaceteline blow-pipe is the
device. It is being used to cut out
the big steel pillars Of the elevated
loop which are being removed to
make room for through route surface
cars to turn street corners. The proc
ess also is being used In cutting out
old steel piles which interfere with
the work on the new La Sale street
tunnel.
Thousands of Chicagoans have
watched with amazement the action OF
the tiny blue fame Of the blow-p1pe
upon the massive steel of the elevated
pillars. Before 1t the steel melts
away, vanishes in gas. It cuts as clean
~ as a saw, and goes more quickly
through inch-thick steel than saw
would through soft wood. Inquiry
proved that the marvels of the oxy-
aceteline blow-pipe have been known
TO scientists for very few years:
and commercially they are just becom-
ing known !
So far as is known, the device has
never been used for criminal pur-
poses. But experiments have proved
that the flame will cut through the
strongest safe as easily as through the
elevated pillars. Before it the most
cunningly devised vault walls become
like paper. Manganese steel, upon
which the hardest drills have no ef7
feet, Is pierced with ease by the oxy-
aceteline fame.
Just why steel melts before the
flame scientists do not know. The
flame is produced by combining pure
oxygen with aceteline gas. The acct

cline gas is first lighted, then the oxy-
gen is urned on. The resulting flame
produced at point about an inch
from the blow-pipe is temperature of
$500 degrees Fahrenheit. The temper
allure Of the sun, 91,000,O0O miles
away, Is 10000 degrees Fahrenheit. It
is apparent that the blow-pipe flame
will melt any metal in short order:
but it does more than melt it. It
burns it up. * hi 81, ..,..~., ~. .-...s
With it's assistance the criminal not
only could break into any safe; he
could break out of any Jail. Steel bars
never have been forged which will
Withstand It. An up-to-date murderer
could destroy his victims body In ten
minutes. He could transform the cor

scatter them on the sidewalk He
would have to be CAREFUL in doing 1t,

blow-pipe, however, are imaginary.
They have never been attempted. so
far as is recorded
But the beneficial uces Of the blow
pipe are becoming the wonder OF the
Industrial world. With It diamonds.
rubies and sapphires are manufac-
tured. Scientific rubies, which are
better than the natural product and
can be produced for the cost Of paste
gems, are now made in Paris, and a
plant is to be opened in New York
for their manufacture
A ruby which If mined would sell
for $4,000 can be made for few dol
lars and is sold for SIS. The color of
the manufactured rubies is better than
the natural kind.
Sapphires are more difficult to pro
duce, but are successfully handled.
The diamonds made by subjecting car
bon to the intense heat Of the blow
pipe are not SO hard as natures dia-
monds, but are more brilliant. In max
