" The ccturc was given under the auspices of the Jongrcgntlounl society of this city. The luvcnilo cornet band nnd the Congregational choir furnlihcd excellent music for the occasion. Upon being presented to the nudlunca by ho chairman , Judge James C. Crawford , Mr. Hoscwater wns received with hearty i p- ihmso. tic said that ho felt that any man tvho was laboring to build up the Industries md develop the resources of this great state mil the sympathy nnd the appreciation of he people. Ho then started on his European trip , touching briefly on his landing atSouth- iniDton , England , runl then on his visit to Condon , the Babylon of the modern world. s Undcrnroiiinl Itallroiulx. Ho contrasted the underground railway system of London with tbo elevated system of Now York , somewhat favorably to the utter. His description of St. Paul's cathedral md the London Tower wns especially lino. flo humorously contrasted the habits and customs of London with these of this coun- ry. Among other things ho said that during : ils stay in London ho received a card from Mr. Lincoln which contained the following : "Mr. Lincoln will bo at homo after 11 o'clock , " ncntioning the day and dato. Ho interpreted the It o'clock to mean 11 o'clock a. m , , and accordingly sallied forth at that hour. Mr. Lincoln was surprised at re ceiving a caller before breakfast , but matters were soon explained and ho made his second call ut the proper time 11 o'clock p. m. "Imagine my surprise , " bo said , "when dur ing my second call I heard a gentleman ex cusing himself at 1 o'clock n. m. , on account of the onrllncss of the hour and still another lit 'J o'clock a. m. for the reason that ho had half a dozen other calls to make. " IiiM-rcstlng : Scenes Described. The British museum , Stratford-on-Avan , the parish church and old school house ni Stratford , Uod Horse tavern , Kenllworth castle and the tomb of Shakespeare were each described in turn and in n highly inter esting manner. Prom London ho went to Manchester , which city ho Enid had the finest municipal organization in the world. Ho based bi.s opinion on the fart that not a sin gle franchise had bcon granted bv the city , and that all the city appliances nnd conveniences wcro owned and operated by the city authorities. CtwMnp the chan nel ho landed at Hottcr'.lkm.nnd spoke of the magnificent decorations there , the occasion being the visit of the Gbrnian emperor to tht.tcity. Journeying thence ) to Amsterdam ho described the country nsbolnir tbo land of wind mills , dykes , canals and ditches. "Traveling by rail , " saidiho , "in this coun try Is very uncomfortable. " .Passing on lo Antwerp ho spoke of tbo < ] eclno | nnd rise of that city. "What disgusted ) me , " aid he , "was the fuel that all tb < ? old buildings of historic value were being torn down and re placed1 by modern structures. " Goine to Brussels he gave description of the great hall in which the , English , all-confi dent of victory , held their grand bull on the nicht before Waterloo , nlsoof the courthouse there which , hp said , was thafinest ' temple of justice ho hud over scon. ' .Paris wns iir t considered , and its boulevards , hotels , cenie- lories , iis national holiday 'Ipsting ) threodavs , , all received their shhrc of attention. Ho bald ho had witnessed a review of French troops and of German troops and he was of the opinion that the Gorman troops were far superior in everything excepting artillery , in which , ho said , the French wore superb. At the To ml ) of Nupolcun. Mr. Hosowater's visit to the tomb of Na poleon I. was then related , and said ho : "When I ascended from tbo tomb 1 noticed that n number of peasants near it. were in tears , thus Indicating that they longed for the day when the flag of Napoleon waved over most of the civilized world. " Switzerland , with hergrandeur of scenery , was then finely pictured , and from that coun try he passed to Vienna. The while house ni Washington , ho siiid , was not to bo compared with the palaces of the kings of Europe but ho was glnd to see that wo are retaining nur simplicity and that our rulers did not embellish their pnli.ceat the people's expanse. Coming to Prague , the capital of the land of bis birth , ho said . "Prague , a cltv that has seen a hundred battle Holds , pillaged by the French and Swedes , around which the nations of the earth had made their battle fields , is today enjoying a period of great prosperity. Its citizens ore making advancement alon every line and their activity is truly rpmarKnblo. Then- school exhibits were particularly tine , and wo are far behind them in tbo matter of manual training and all that pertains to tbo practical in education. " Mr. Hosowator held the clota attention of his audience for two hours , and his conclud ing sentence was heard , with rogret. His quiet , dlgnllled , unassuming manner and his splendid lecture won him many frlonds. Ho will go'from this place leaving behind many pleasing nnd profitable thoughts. USE OF OIL AS A FUEL.

The rules adopted are as follows : Vault to bo located so that the oil it contains can burn out without endanger ing property and havocapacitysulliciont to bold twice tin entire quantity of oil the tanks within can contain. Distance from any property to bo regulated by size of tanks. Vault tobo , underground , built of brick , sides and ends to boat least sixteen inchcs"'thick and to he mudo water tight with hydraulic ce ment ; bottom to bo/w / ter tight , con crete , dished toward center and inclined to one end so as to drain all overllow seepage to that end , fiiUd incline to bo lo the end opposite toahat from wliich the lank is to botapiwrtt top to bo tun- ported with heavy irpW' ' " ! " beams , with arches of solid brick ' 'Sprung from ono beam to its iioighbor . , and to luivu nt least twelve inches ofiiUirt over the nm- Bonry. i j Vault to bo accessible by one or more largo man holes , whitMiywhon not in use , are to bo kept locked'liy a largo pud- lock of three or morouniblurn , , key to bo held by some responsible party. A trough must run from ono end of the vault to the other , dltectly under each tank , and in the sumo direction as the Unit or tanks. The vault bhall ho air tight as near as possible , and iiuist have two ventilat ing pipes of iron of four inches inbido diameter , both inlet and outlet pipa to reach within six inches ot the bottom of the vault , the outlet ventilating pipe to rise above service eight fcut , the inlet ventilating pipe to rifao above ' service six foot. Siphon to bo arranged so as to carry out any seepage or leakngo into ( ho vault ; nnd discharge wuno upon the ground , where its burning wtiuld not en danger surrounding property , Tank to bo of holler iron or stool at least three-sixteenths of an incli in thickness , to be cold riveted , the entire outer surface of tank to have two good coats of coal tar or mineral paint before the tank IB placed in position. No tank shall bo over eight foot in dlnmotor by twenty-lU-o foot in length , nor shnll "tiny vault Imvo over two tanks. When tank is sot the bottom of the tank must bo throe inches above the concrete lloor of the vault and must bo In saddles of masonry not loss than twelve inches In thickness , built from the concrete lloor of the vault , said sad dles not to bo moro than two feet apart between centers nnd laid hi hy draulic comcnt with an opening through center for drainage. The filling plpo , man-hole , toll-talo or indicator , pump supply connection , steam connection , overllow plpo and ventilating pipes where they connect with .tank , must bo made petroleum tight by the use of litharge and glycer ine cement. Filling plpo connection must have gas-tight valve between the tank and hoe coupling , which must bo kept closed and locked unless the tank 's being lilled. Each tank must have i-cntllatlng pipes nt least 1 } Inches In tllnmotor , ono of which must connect ivith ono end of Iho top of the lank and bo in the form of an inverted "J , " a .mion to bo placed In plpo just below , ho bend , within which shall bo ilacoti a dlaphram of line wire gntizo , , lie othoi ventilating pipe must bo at , ho other end of the top of the tunics : uid must bo conducted to the inside of the smoke stack , or into the open air at least ton foot above the surface , so that ill the gasses that form in the tank will bo constantly discharged , Tunic must have indicator to show licight of oil In tank nt all times , salt ) ndlcator to ho bo arranged ns to allow no escape of gasses from tank.
