Among the executors are Vice President Erwin, of the Piant System. Mr. Plant’s will leaves specific lega- ( ciea amounting to s4l 000, to several , friends and relatives and some addi- ( tional contingent annuities. The en tire estate is subject to these legacies.

No estimate of the amount of the estate left by Mr. Plant has yet been n given out to the public. 0 Possibilities of Liquid Air. " In discussing the possibilities of liquid air, Prof. Elihu Thomson says that one of its leading features, if it a were developed commercially, would a be its emergency value. By this it is meant the ability to obtain at will a sudden output far beyond the normal. Animal power notably has this emer gency value, and the success of electric *. trolley systems is in a great measure owing to the fact that when needed the station can be called upon for a tern porary delivery to any single car or *' train of a power greatly in excess of ? the rated output of the motors. The use of liquid air mixed with combustibles to form a high explosive d has been suggested. Such an explosive could ba made at the time of use, and if it were left unexploded, either by " accident or design, it would soon be-p 1 c me harmless by the evaporation of the liquid gas, F .r the projection of high explosives there should be a distinct place for 11 liquid air, as it can rapidly be convert- u ed into compressed air at six tons to the equate inch. Compressed air is q r. r. used for propelling mobile torpe* c does, or find torpedoes. Dirigible tors pedoes depend for power either on 1 compressed air or the electric energy - of a storage battery. . A storage battery would be probably from five to ten times as heavy as li- , quid air in a receptacle, (nr equal euer gy Prof Thum-on is inclined t > think f r that liquid air may presently be used lor submarine boats and flying ma* chines. fl | In lbe submarine boat it could be I evap rated by the heat i f the eur- I rounding water, and after furnishing I power it would ventilate the boat. r I Before its final discharge it could be I burned with oil in a fuel machine to I give further power.

Chattanooga, 'Tenn,, June 30 I hat the south has for some lime been making remarkable strides in the field of legitimate manufacturing and de velopment enterprises has been fully recognized and some details of this progress for the first six mouths of this year are of more Chan passing in terest. The Tradesman has compiled a report of the new industries authori tatively reported for the second quarter cf 1899, and this report shows that the new industries for lite quarter ending July 1, 1899, exceed by 60 per cent those of the same period last year. Tn commenting on this report, The Tradesman says that the growth indi cated during the quarter was general rather than special. The new industries reported for April, May and June, 1898, numbered 483; for the same months this year they are 775—a gain of 292, and this gain is pretty well distributed among different branches of industry. Cotton and its products show the heaviest gain however. On July 1, 1898, there were noted 37 new compresses and gins, 29 new textile mills and 22 cotton seed oil mills; today’s report shows 45 new gins and compresses, 76 textile mills and 71 cotton seed oil mills. Municipal progress and. prosperity may be fairly inferred from the items of light and water. There are 28 now watur works and 55 new electric light power plants reported today, against 22 water works and 44 electric light and power plants that were new a year ago. These are the heavier gains. Compared with the report for the first quarter of this year, the second quarter shows a gaiu of 117 new in dustries. Combining the two quarters, the new industries reported during the first six months of 1899 include 30 brick and tile works, 15 canning fac tories, 69 compresses and gins, 130 textile mills, 93 electric light and power plants, 138 flour and grist mills, <»0 iron working and iron making plants, 4/ ice factories, 66 mines and quarries, 101 cotton seed oil mills, 17 phosphate and fertilizer companies, 21 tobacco factories, 10 sugar mills, 43 water works and 274 woodworking plants. He Fooled the Surgeons- All doctors told Renick Hamilton, o West Jefferson, 0., after suffering for 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed; but he cured himself with five boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on Earth, and the best Salve in the World. 25 cents a box, Sold by J.

The New Reporter He was just from college, and hav ing secured a place as reporter on a morning paper, be was assigned to report a fire on the west side. He did the work in great style, making half a column of it—for he was working on space, you know—and this is the way he began the story : “Suddenly, on the still night air rang the shrill cry of fire, aud simul taneously the devouring tongue of flame, whose light as it played along the roof's edge had caught the eagle eye of the midnight watcher, leaped forth, no longer playful, but fierce and angry in its consuming greed. Like glowing, snaky demons, lurid links entwined the doomed building; in venomous hisses aud spurts the flames shot into the overhanging darkness, while from every window and door poured forth a dense sulphurous va por, the deadly, suffocating breath of an imprisoned fiend, etc Next morning the embryo journalist was up early to see how bin brilliant t lo< ked in print, aad this is what j he read : “Mike Mahoney’s grocery, on Des plaines street, was destroyed by fire last night Loss, S2OO ;no insurance. *, —Philadelphia 'l imes. - - ■ .

Let Them Riner the Bells If we want to get along with the Cu bans and impress them with our pur pose to do them all the good we can, we must not interfere with their local customs where such interference lias no other effect than to irritate them, Gen. Ludlow, the military governor of Havana, it seems to us, has made sev eral orders which have been lacking in wisdom. Some time ago he made an order prohibiting smoking in cabs and in public places ; also prohibiting men from appearing ir the streets dressed only in trousers aud under shirts. He also prohibited bull fights, and cock fights, and other custom? to which the people were very much at tached. His latest order that causes irritation prohibits the ringing of cbuich bells. The bishop of Havana has paid no attention to the order against the ringing of church bells, and we do not see any good reason for the order. If the people of Havana want their church bells rung why not let them ring them? The church bells are rung inmost American towns. It is true that there is a sentiment, based on the protests of nervous people, against the custom, but the regulation of the matter is left to the people themselves. If the government at Washington should attempt to interfere with the I ringing of the bells in the various! cities and towns there would be such a protest that it would be found nec essary to cease such interference at once. It may be that Gen. Ludlow and some others in Havana don’t approve of the ringing of church bells, but they are not the whole population of the city. The ringing of church bells is undoubtedly a long established custom there, and to put a stop to it by a mili tary order is calculated to create a sentiment in Havana against Ameri cans. If this interference with local customs is continued the Cubans will begin to regard our presence lhera with disfavor. They will consider u* as tyrants, and seek to get rid of us as quickly as possible. Besides, this in* terference with their local customs will make it difficult to introduce re forms that are really necessary for the welfare and happiness of the people. Let us confine ourselves to such mat ters as are necessary for the establish ing of a stable and intelligent govern ment in the island and leave local cus toms to ba changed aud bettered by time and education. By pursuing that course we shall stand a much better chance of doing the Cubans real and lasting good.—Savannah News. Discovered By a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country. | “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its se veiest tests, but her vital organs were un dermined and death seemed imminent For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She finally discov ered away to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much reliev ed on taking first dose, that she slept al! night; and with two bottles, has been ab solutely cured.
