CHEAP GAs.-The Assemble Rationale of
a late date says. In the scientific circles the
discovery Of Mr.. Eugene Pauton, to light Paris
gratis, is much talked Of His Majesty, the
Emperor, has provided Mr.. PautOn with tho
necessary grounds at st. Cloud and the means
to build an Establishment for tho Manufacture
Of gas Repeated experiments have sufficient.
~ proved that gas produced By Mr.. Paston 8
plan does net cost more than two ffths of q
cen. per cubic yard, and if Is hectolitres of
coke can be sold at % francs, the gas costs
nothing a. all. 1t is stated that proposals
have been made to the City Council Of Paris
to reduce the actual price ct gas more than
one half; SO that instead OF paying AZ cen.
times, or about cents per cubic yard, the con-
sumner would pay only 4 cents, y hich would
make an economy Of nearly four millions of
francs to the con umers, and about one mil
lion and half for the city of Paris alone,
which would obtain tho gas gratis, if the plan
OF Mr. Pauton is adopted-Paris american

a right, II they choose, to remain On board
and continue the voyage to free port, or ons
