Owing to the abruptness of the hill behind the town there is a street along the edge of a bluff from which you can look directly down upon all that part of the city which lies low near the level of the rivers. On the evening of this dark day we were conducted to the edge of the abyss and looked over the iron railing upon the most striking spectacle we ever beheld. The entire space lying between the hills was filled with blackest smoke from out of which the hidden chimneys sent forth tongues of flame while from the depths of the abyss came up the noise of hundreds of steam-hammers. There would be moments when no flames were visible; but soon the wind would force the smoky curtains aside and the whole black expanse would be dimly lighted with dull wreaths of fire. It is an unprofitable business view-hunting; but if any one would enjoy a spectacle as striking as Niagara he may do so by simply walking up a long hill to Cliff Street in Pittsburg and looking over into—hell with the lid taken off. Such is the kind of day of which Pittsburg boasts. The first feeling of the stranger is one of compassion for the people who are compelled to live in such an atmosphere. When hard pressed a son of Pittsburg will not deny that the smoke has its inconveniences. He admits that it does prevent some inconsiderate people from living there who but for the prejudice against smoke in which they have been educated would become residents of the place. He insists however that the smoke of bituminous coal kills malaria and saves the eyesight.</p><p>Flotsam and Jetsam by Harriet Prescott Spofford - First Printing</p><p>Does it Pay To Smoke by James Parton - First Printing </p><p>The By-Ways of Europe by Bayard Taylor - First Printing - Balearic Islands Catalonian Bridle-Roads Republic of Pyrenees The Kyffhauser and its Legends A Week on Capri</p><p>European House-Sparrow by T.M.Brewer page 583 to 588 First Printing</p><p>Discovery of Etherization anaesthetic influence of ether fumes; anaesthetize Charles T.
