now returning to the use of coal, long Springs had failed
after most of the other mills had sur- Wm. b. L.OOMIS,
rendered to the cheap bituminous fuel
which had always been the cheap foun
dation of Pittsburgh's great industrial
prosperity. The diminishing supply
and the consequent increase in cost
have necessitated the abandonment of
natural gas by most of the large manu-1
facturing establishments in the Pitts
burgh district, and its use is being
more and more restricted to domestic
purposes. Pittsburgh has again be
come the smoky city of fifteen years
ago, alleviated in some measure by the
use of fuel oil and manufactured gas,
which have assumed importance with
the decline of natural gas in the last
four or five years. Natural gas was
not a factor of very great importance
in the Pittsburgh district until early in
the '80s and the point of greatest con
sumption was reached in 1888, after
which the decline b egan. It has never
been feasible to ascertain with accu
racy the quantity of natural gas con
sumed each year, but Joseph I). Weeks,
of Pittsburgh, has prepared for the
United States geological survey an es
timate of the value of the coal dis-
displaced by natural gas, which has
been accepted as the most practical
measure of the consumption of gas. In
the period of its largest use the natural
gas consumed in Pennsylvania, meas
ured on this basis, was valued as fol
lows: 1885, 14.500,000; 1888, $0,000,000;
1887, $14,749,530; 1388, $19,283,375; 1889,
$11,593,989; 1890, $3,551,025; 1891, $7,
834,016; 1892, $7,376,281; 1893, $6,486,000.
In Ohio the supply of natural gas has
failed even more rapidly than in Penn
sylvania. The largest consumption in
Ohio was in 18 9, when it amounted in
value to $5,215,000, but in 1393 it had
fallen to $1,510,000. The suddenness of
the failure of- the supply has oaused
much inconvenience and loss to manu
facturing establishments, which in
many instances were deprived of fuel
almost without warning. While the
supply of natural gas in Pennsylvania
and Ohio has been diminishing a new
productive region has come into promi
nence in Indiana, and interest in nat
ural gas is now centered in that state.
In 1886 the value of the gas consumed
in Indiana was estimated at only $300,
000; in 1888 it was figured at $1,320,000,
and in 18U3 the value was placed at $5,
718,000. The opening of this new field
has stimulated the development of iron
and steel and class enterprises in In
diana in a marked degree. Mot with
standing the abundance of the present
supply in Indiana there is no assurance
of its continuance for a longer period
than in other states, and a return to
fuels more stable, if less convenient, is
merely a question of time. In fact, it
Is claimed by geologists and gas experts
that the point of greatest supply has
been reached. While it lasts there is
no fuel that possesses so many advan

by name, is the inventor of the process,

Some years ago he began to make
observations on the habits and physical
characteristics of the silkworm and be
came deeply interested in the subject
He discovered the chemical action
which took place in the worm in pro

the feasibility of his ideas that he soon
abandoned all other work and devoted
his time to this single study, in which
he has achieved a signal triumph.
In the process of manufacturing the
new fabric the principal ingredient:,
used are sprucewood pulp, cotton o:
jute waste, etc., combined with a larg
quantity of alcohol. The use of th
substantial or solid materials men
tioned creates a market for what wa
hitherto of no use whatever, bein;
burned in factory furnaces to get it ou
of the way.
Spruce sawdust now has a market
value, for this as well as the other ma
terials are digested by a chemical proc
ess in which alcohol plays an impor
tant part. The material thus digested
is so much like the cocoon spun by thi
silkworm that when the two are placec:
side by side in a finished state it take::
an expert to determine which is which.
The artificial material at one state i
in a liquid condition and of a density
about equal to the ordinary sirup of com
merce. When in this state a machine o.
Dr. Lehner's invention, which may be
'ailed an artificial silkworm, comes in
to nlav. Tins machine, which is very
iimple in construction, requiring so lit
tie attention that it can be kept at work
with about as much labor as is devotei1
to a twenty-four-hour clock, performs
exactly the same mechanical work that
a silkworm does. It draws from tin
liquid a continuous unbroken thread ol
even diameter and unlimited length.
As this thread is spun another portion
of the machine takes it up and twists it
into any desired thickness of yarn with
regularity.
Thus the fabric can be made of any
desired weight or thickness, so that it
will be seasonable at all times.
This artificial silk has been spun in
Bradford, England, and worked up in
to a large variety of fabrics. In the
dyeing, weaving, and finishing of
these no special treatment has been
found necessary. It has been dyed in
all imaginable shades and colors, and
owing to the peculiar qualities of the
material it takes a dye more readily nnd
gives a more brilliant effect than the
natural article. In texture it is the
equal of the best of Chinese and Italian
hin;, iH-ing soft uml silken to the louo...
It is expected that it will be used large
ly in combination with natural silk and
cotton for producing; brocaded effects,
These latter huve been so expensive
lately as to be out of reach of all but
the fattest purses. The new invention
will greatly reduce the cost.
