A Coal Famine Feared.

The Harrison Park Casino has booked no attractions for next week. It is feared that the Terre Haute Electric Light and Power company may be unable to operate the railroads and light systems forwantof coal.

Coal from Kentucky and other points is passing over the roads in large quantities and could be bought for Terre Haute demand at a very small advance Mr. Talley 'phoned from Chicago last night that the market was easy there. Coal was plenty and selling at small advances.

Turning Uas Into Ice.

Jacob Baur, who was in the city this week, is a very busy man, engaged in very active and rapidly growing business, as the use of liquid carbonic acid gas is extending and its field is unlimited. Mr. Baur's company now has plants at New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis. He states that inventors are experimenting with the gas as a motive power for horseless carriages. The substance is most interesting, and while formerly made from dolomite and kindred combinations of lime and magnesia it is now collected from brewery vats. Three great breweries, Pabst's, Ruppert's and another, are using covered vats and run the accumulating gas into gasometers from which the company draws it. Into a holder, like a four-foot section of a 4-inch inch steel pipe, that holds 2)4 gallons liquid measure, 1.200 gallons of gas is forced, at a pressure of 1,000 pounds to the square inch, which condensea the gas into a liquid. If the stop corck is opened a little jet, like steam or smoke, issues. Let it play a little on a piece of cloth or chamois and a snow-white paste is deposited, which is frozen, solid gas, 40 degrees below zero. Mr. Baur showed this little experiment and poured some mercury upon the paste which froze the mercury into a solid lump almost immediately. The druggists who once made their soda water from marble dust and vitriol now are using liquid carbonic acid gas which is free from the traces of vitriol and arsenic to be found in the old style of mineral water. As an evidence of growing business Mr. Baur states that a *100,000 order for holders, for shipping the stuff, has just been placed.

BUSINESS WOMEN. •%TThmj

Mis. Nellie Russell Kimball of Dunkirk has demonstrated the good results of industry and business calculation. Six years ago, in the beginning of her widowhood, she decided to continue the business left by her husband, this being a coal and wood yard situated near the shore of Lake Erie, entirely away from the active portion of the town. She was a young woman, had just recovered from a long illness, and did not feel equal in any way to the work before her, but she went bravely in. Under her excellent management the business has grown and is now large and thriving. In addition to a good local trade she has the contract for supplying all the coal used by five dredges employed by the government for cleaning the harbor. This contract calls for about 3,000

tons. She has to "coal up" two of these dredges everv evening. She is her own and only bookkeeper, weighs every ton of coal seut out from her yard, hires and discharges the men and gives personal attention to the care of her horses. She is kind and pleasant to all who work for her, whether man or beast.

Her days are filled with work, which begins at 7:30 a. m. and ends at irregular hours in the evening. She is brisk and cheerful and seems to be as happy as she is ba.sy. Quite recently she boo added a farm of 80 acres to her business cares. She has fair hair and blue eyes. Altogether hers is a bonny face and very pleasant to look upon.

Mrs. Emma Colmon Hamilton is the owner of a large coal and wood yard in the same city. She also sells drain pipe, fire brick, tiles, cement, etc., has a trusty man in hero^ice, but oversees her books and tl.e business generally herself. Besides this she was president of the Woman *s Educat—ual and Industrial union for three yca*-s, when she resigned on account of husiness and family cares She was one of the principal workers in organizing the Dunkirk library, which has been a d°cided success. She is interested ill e-°rjthing that benefits humanity, a broad minded, progressive woman, loved and respected by all who know her. ADA V. SLATER.

ACCOMPLISHED.

But Despite Mary Kyle Dallas' Satire the FauiPv Might Be Worse.

The accomplished family usually reside ont of town. They go in for all the arts ntd scie-Tes in an amateurish fashion. None 01 them ever becomes professional.

They rather despise the actors musicians, artists and literary folk who appear before the public.

That sort of thing would net do for them. "Perhaps Mine. Patti once sang well," they say, but the people who went on over her never heaid their Jerusha sing "Comiu Through th" Rye," and, as for Sarah ruh:irilt and Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry and those foreign folk, why, they please a certain class, but when the accomplished fanr'ly give private performances in the back parlor they are of the opiiiiou that that is something worth while. They played "Othello" last winter, and Aunt Anna Maria did the jealous Moor in a turban a::d a decorous striped bath robe and smothered Emma Prances so naturally that Deacon Brown's wife nearly fainted. Emma Frances played Desdemona, and John was I ago. John is just 15, but talented Ma prompted, only she had the wrong playbook, but such little accidents will happen.

It was a great success, and Deacon Brown's wife said that of course ladies and gentlemen must play in a more refined manner than actors. Besides, it was not sinful when done in a privat residenco. "We all paint," they say iu chorus, "and we have very high ideals. We do not want to spoil onr style by lookiup at inferior things, and there are sere to be so many. Come to see us and will show yon Rosina's cow cud Unci' Peter's 'View on the Hudson' atr Malvina's 'Wreck of a Slave Ship, which is better than Turner's—a ver? great deal better. Grandpa couldn't see anything in Turner's but sploshes of color."

If yo# visit the accomplished family, they amiably entertain you frnin mora ing to night. In the morning Uncle Pinter reads his epic poem, to t« puMisbro for distribotion among friends. In th afternoon you have music, in tie voi ing private theatricals, and lutt 2y a ii' tie niece has taken to doit*? a dan*e on the dining room taUo to ,•'* music.

Flreproo' {tope,

Canadtan and Ifpjtao asbestos will ind a serious competitor in the bine asbestos recently discovered in the Cape Colony, since the South African product is less than half as heavy and furnishes fibers considerably finer and longer than any other. Tbe South African fiber has been worked into webs, which are but little inferior to those made of vegetable fiber and are absolutely fireproof. Twine, cord and rope made of this blue asbestos will not only resist fire, but also most of the known chemicals, corrosive vapots and atmospheric inflqf nces. These qualities will open a nes^field for the employment of asbestos fabrics in chemical laboratories and for the calking of chemical apparatus.

In order to test the resistance of the new material a blue asbestos rope of about three-fourths of an inch in diameter was weighted at one eed with 220 pounds and exposed to a constant flame from a large gas jet, so that the rope for a considerable length was surrounded by fire. The cord only broke after 22 hours. Still it was a trifle lighter than a rope of the same diameter made of Russian hemp. Compared with a new hemp rope, the asbestos rope has twothirds of its strength, but as the ropes get older the proportion is altered in favor of asbestos ropes, since they suffer but very little from the influences of the atmosphere.

Another novel application of this material is the working of blue asbestos fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They are cooler in summer and warmer in winter than those made either of animal hair or vegetable fiber, and no vermin can live in this mattress. Experiments are now being made of working this fiber into cloth for firemen's apparel. Of course the long fiber of blue asbestos can also be employed for all the uses to which white asbestos has been put heretofore. While a trifle more expensive, its superior qualities made it well worth the difference.—Philadelphia Record.

A Ballet In His Heart.

"It is ger^rally thought that a man cannot live very long after getting a bullet in his heart," said a South Carolin ian, "but there is an instance on record in my state of a man carrying a bullet in his heart five weeks before death. The matter is fully authenticated, tbe post mortem examination having been made by Dr. Curran B. Earle, a nephew of the late United States Senator Earle. The wounded man was named Tom Ferguson, and he was shot by a negro named Dock Chaney at Greenville, S. C. Ferguson lived five weeks, and at the post mortem examination a 82 caliber bnllet wjs found firmly imbedded in the exterior wall of the heart. The cause of Ferguson's death was the inundation of the pericardial cavity, which impeded the action of the heart, which in plain English means that the cavity surrounding the heart was punctured and flooded to such an extent that the heart was prevented from beating. This carrying a bullet in the heart is a remarkable case, but the physicians were not able to say, without tedious researoh, whether it has a like in the medical records or not. A patient, it is said, may live several days with a wounded heart, and a metaphorical wound, however severe, may not shorten his life at all, but thr cases, if any, where one carried a bullet in this sensitive organ so long am few and far between."— Washington Star.

"Jack," said a pretty girl to her brother the other day, "I want you to do something for me, there's a dear fellow. "Well, what is it?" growled Jack, who is the brother of tbe period. "Why, you know that wig and mustache you used in the theatricals?" "Well?" "Won't you put them on and go to the concert tonight? Regipald and I will be there, and I want you to stare at me tbe whole evening through the

"You want me to do that?" "Yes, and as we come out yon stand at the door and try to slip me a note Take care that Reggie sees you too." "Well, I declare!" "Because, you see, Jack, Reggie likes me, I know, but then be is awfully slow and he is well off and lots of other girls are after him. He's got to be hurried up, as it were."—Scottish American.

Dodging the Question.

It is dangerous to possess a reputation for superior knowledge or wisdom. It is bard to live up to it. Next in importance to knowing everything perhaps is to be ranked the ability to conceal one's ignorance. "Brown," said Jones, "Smith and I, here, have had a dispute and have agreed to leave the decision to you. Which is right—'Tomorrow is Friday,' or 'Tomorrow will be Friday?' "Today is Saturday, isn't it?" said Brown, after some reflection. "Yes." "Then neither one of you is right"

Sir Henry Irvine's Magnanimity.

The changes of fortune place people sometimes in peculiar and embarrassing positions. A good story is told of Sir Henry Irving, the famous actor. When a young man, earning his laurels and comparatively unknown, Shakespeare's play "Much Ado About Nothing" was about to be presented to the public by a certain manager of prominence. Irving had a part assigned to him, which he diligently studied. Letter perfect in his lineB, he felt assured of ultimate success, but unfortunately the manager disliked his acting of it and took occasion to censure him before the company, much to his mortification. Furthermore, the manager took the part away and gave him another, less prominent, butmore difficult.

Years went by, and Irving steadily climbed to a fame that brought him knighthood, while the critical manager gradually lost ground. One day, shortly after Irving announced his intention of producing' 'Much Ado About Nothing," the old manager presented himself and aeked that a part be assigned to him. Irving granted the request and gave him the very part he had forced- him to play years before. During rehearsal Irving narrowly watched the manager's acting and at the conclusion went up to him and shook bis hand after gravely complimenting him upon bis rendering of the part. Then he promoted him to the part from which he had been reduced. "I never knew what'coals of fire' meant till then," was the remark which the old actor and manager was overheard to make when Irving retired —Harper's Round Table.

The Awful Carlb Fish.

A traveler in Venezuola gives an interesting description of the fish of the Orinoco country. He says the party several times came in contact with the carib fish, which are the most ferocious inhabitants of the water known. The fish are not over 14 inches long, but they travel in sohools. Their teeth are three corneri d. Any living object which attracts their attention is attacked with fury. Mr. luompson tells of an Indian woman who entered the water to fill bucket. She was attacked by tbe fish and reached shore only to die in 15 minutes. The flesh was literally torn from her body. Mr. Dart, who was with Mr. Thompson, caught one of the fish and pulled it upon the bank. He held tbe carib under his foot while he pointed at the peculiar teeth with his finger. With a quick movement the carib flopped out from under Mr. Dart's foot and seized him by tbe finger, cutting that member to tbe bone. The fish frequently have been known to bite ordinary fishhooks in two.

Another fish which the party often oame across was the morocoto, the flavor of which is like Lake Superior whitefish, only more delicate. The morocoto is provided with molar teeth and subsists on vegetable matter, which it thoroughly masticateH before swallowing Another peculiar creature found was tbe morccoy, species of land tur tie, which at night utters a cry of wonderful sweetness, plaintive and clear.— Exchange.

A Plain Address.

The Lord Farnham of 50 or 60 yean ago invited a tenant farmer to dinnrwbo had no experience in the methoc of addressing titled personages. He consulted a friend in his perplexity, who told him on speaking at first to say Lord Farnham or Lady Farnham and then to talk to them as other people. On meeting his friend afterward tbe guest told him he had got on well at dinner and soon felt quite at home. "I took your advice and, having said, 'How do you do, Lord and Lady Farnham?' I called them plain Mr. and Mrs. Farnham for the remainder of the evening."—Westminster Gazette.

A Procession of Worms.

In some of the Hungarian forests and in the pine woods of Norway there exists a tiny, wormlike insect called the sciara, of the genus tipula. During the month of July or early in August ihey gather together in large numbers, preparatory to migrating in search of food or for change of condition. When setting out on this journey, they stick themselves together by means of some glutinous matter and form a huge ser-pent-like mass, often reaching a length of between 40 and 50 feet and several inches in thickness. As the sciara is only on an average about three thirtyseconds of an inch in length, with no appreciable breadth whatever, the number required to compose 9 continuous line of the size above mentioned is almost incalculable. Their pace is, of course, very slow, and upon meeting an obstacle, such as a stick or stone, they will either writhe over or around it, sometimes breaking into two bodies for this purpose.

M. Querin-Meneville, a celebrated French naturalist, says that if the rear portion of this wonderful snakelike procession be brought into contact with the front part and a sort of circle formed the insects will keep moving round in that circle for hours without apparently noticing that they are getting no "forrader"

their journey. If the proces­

sion be broken in two, the portions will reunite in a short time. The Norwegian peasants, when they meet one of these trains, will lay some article of their olothing, such a* a belt or handkerchief, on the ground in frout of it. If the procession parses over it, it is regarded as a good sign, but if it makes way round the reverse is believed. Iu the Moiavian districts a similar experiment is supposed to foretell a good or bad harvest—Popular Science.

The Actor nnd the Man.

Great painters, sculptors, musicians and actors are cartful not to lose their heads in the tumult of their emotions. Edwin Booth, so far as is known, never threw himself into his character but on one occasion, uud then he was playing Bertuccio in "Tbe King's Fool." It is related that he came off the stage at the conclusion of the performance convinced that he had surpassed all of his previous efforts, and that he was ex cited, thrilled, tingling with the emotions of the character into which he had blindly cast himself, but his daughter, Edwina Booth, who had been sitting in a stage box, told him she had never Been him act so badly. For that one performance Booth deliberately had chosen to be the man and not the art- «•»-. —San Francisoo Argonaut
