WHAT WILL THE END BE.
J. E. Thickston, a scientist and astron
omer, living at Hetuchen, N. J., while
alluding to the Johnstown horror, said
to a Herald correspondent that the
dreadful catastrophe was as nothing
compared to -what might have occurred.
"The news from central Pennsylvania
is awful," he said, "but this may be a
very little thing compared with what
may yet occur. Near and west of the
Alleghanies a great opening within the
earth's crust must be made somewhere
by the escape of natural gas. "Will "the
earth settle and fill the empty places, or
will air pass' in' and thereby make it
possible for-the jmmense reservoirs of
gas, stored away, no one knows how far,
io explode and make an upheaval? Many
people believe there is gas enough un
der western Pennsylvania and eastern
Ohio to blow the country from Lake
Erie to the Monongahela into promis
cuous fragments. "When oil was struck
at Oil Creek in 1859, timid folks feared a
collapse and a sinking of the oil field,
but that danger was obviated by water
rnrmina into the WellS as tU6
oil ran out. The dreaded vacuum never
came,.as water took the place of the re
moved oil. It is not so in this case.
Water is not filling up the gas wells, ex
cept to a limited extent. What the out
come may be is not really a very enjoy
able thing to revolve in our minds these
pleasant Julv mornings. A submerged
valley, lined with the bones of fifteen
thousand men, women and children is a
fearful thing in the history of the human
race, but what of that compared with a
wrecked continent.'' What or mat com
pared with a world blown open or blown
to fragments? I am not an alarmist or
a sensational Wiggins. I do not believe
that old Mother Earth is about to be
shot into smithereens, but there may be
danger ahead in this direction, and al
though we grieve over the Conemaugh
catastrophe, let us be thankful that there
has not been a natural gas explosion out
west, and that there are not two rings
instead of one sot of asteorids in the
material heavens."
It is estimated by a mint official that
there are still in existence somewhere in
the country tied up in old stockings or in
the hands of curiosity collectors, over one
hundred million of the old-fashioned
copper cents, about one hundred and
twenty million of copper-nickel cents,
five million of the present issue of brown
pennies, and twenty-five million of nickel
3-cerit pieces and about Iwo hundred
million of the nickel 5-cent pieces. The
total value of these outstanding various
coins 13 put in round numbers at $C2,
930,000. It has been calculated that the rail
roads of the world are worth nearly JCCO,
' 000,000,000 ' ($300,000,000,000), or about
one-tenth of the wealth of civililized
nations, or more than a quarter of their
invested capital. At this rate all the
ready money in the world would buy
only about one-third of them.
"The police," says Joe Howard in the
New York Press, "estimate that 50,000
people walk the streets of New York, not
knowing where they shall sleep at night,
and 50,000 other pooplo sleep as best they
can, not knowing how or where they
shall break their fast after tho coming
dawn.'
Thb corner's jury charges the members
of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting
club with responsibility for tho breaking
of tho Conemaugh dam which resulted in
the great Johnstown disaster.
Theee are over 3,000,000 women in this
country who are engaged in work which
is not domestic. Whatever aro her
"rights," a woman's right to work is
evidently unlimited.
The Woman's Exchange, of Kansas
City is to build a homo for working wo
men. The house is to cost $30,000, and
a $14,000 lot has already been bought to
put it up on.
Statistics show a growth of $38,000,
000 in the value of tho country's exports
in a twelve month, and a growth also in
the value of imports to the amount of
$18,000,000.
In 18G4-5 we had more than six nun
dred war vesseles. Among them were the
best in the world for the time, and we
had more good ones than any other na
tion.
.
Estimating tho population of Philadel
phia at 1,1)00,000, a hundred gallons of
water a day is supplied to every man,
woman and child in the city.

A Fortunate Drngrglst.
Mr. Edwin V. Joy a prosperous druggist
on the corner of Stockton and Market
streets, in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed of rivaling in wealth the medi
cine kings of the country. But various
rumors having been floating around te the
effect that he has struck it big, an Examiner
reporter was detailed to unearth the cause.
It seems that about seven years ago an .
English physician, a great student of Bot
any, located in this city. His practice
was not extensive, and yet the few cases
that came to him attracted no little ntten
tionJ His great success seemed to be iu the
treatment of liver and kidney disorders"
and vitiated blood. He seemed almost
infallible, and bis well-kept secret was as
much amystery as himself, j After his de
parture Mr. Joy determined to fathom the
secret, and copying all the prescriptions
he had filled for the erratic doctor, ho
began a systematic analysis. He discov
ered running all through the prescript
ions for liver and kidney troubles, vitiated
blood and stomach disorders a couple of
vegetable extracts indigenous to California
so simple and so well known under home
ly every day names to every school boy as
to entirely dissipate the suspicion that
they were the active principles involved
So certain, however, was Mr. Joy tbat lie
had discovered the secret that he embod
ied the new elements In a preparation of
Sarsaparilla to disguise, the taste, and put
it before his customers under the modest
name of Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla. Im
mediately the same stories came back of
its astonishingcfleets,and the mystery was
solved,rand the talk it has created "has
nlready caused it to step Into prominence,
and orders pour in daily from all over the
coast. And thus another California Indus
try leaps into existence. S. r Examiner
