Early History Of Gus.-It appears that
the first ideas upon the subject of lighting
streets and buildings with gas, was thrown
out by German chemist named Lampu-
dius, i'll work OH tho art Of mining, pub
Iislled i'll Germany in 1901. 1t was follow
cd and greatly improved by Lcbon, in
France, the inventor of the thcrmo lamp.
The gas for the supply Of this lamp was pro.
duccd from the combustion Of wood, but rs
great quantity Of wood WAS required to
keep the lamp burning, this experiment led
to no important results. In 1910 and 1911
the English began to supply the gas obtain
cd from the burning Of coal for this purpose,
and brought the lighting Of the streets and
manufactures, 10y means OF this gas, to per
lection. The great superiority of the Eng
l'sli process over that Of Lampudius and lie.
bon consisted in this, that the gas was ac-
cu'nulated in large vessels before it was
burnt, and thus could be preserved in the
gasometers Till it was needed, while they
were obliged to consume theirs as fast as !,
was produced. This mode of lighting can.
not bo made profitable except whore bitu-
mInous coal can be obtained Mt a moderate
price. 1t was not until 1915 that somo of
the streets OF London, and other English,
towns and cities were lighted in this manner.
In 1917, it was made use of in the poly
tccI'nlc institute at Vienna; and in 1sI 8, ex-
perlments were made preparatory to the
lighting of tia, city. Coal will soon be
superseded by water, which makes purcr
and stronger light, and has been made with
perfect success.

The French Improved System Of Dr.
tat'ry 1t is affirmed that the new system
of artillery which has boon under exam;
nation for more than two years past is now
completed, and the last experiments have
decided its adoption. The various calibres
that before existed are according to this
plan, reduced to two-12.pounders or
siege guns. ard 4 Founders field guns. The
pieces are rliled; the projcctilcs are hollow
and produce double cllcct-tllat of solid
sho: and shell. Their form is conical, and
leaden o'lettcs give TO the ball precision
never obtained before. The informant Of
the Times correspondent in Paris SAYS
In order to give an idea Of tie terrible
effect of these new pieces it sulliccs to say
that l2-pounder (ncw modeD will with
one.half the number Of shots of the old
pieces Of "a, produce the same effect; and
the now pattern 12.pounder produces at
seventy metres, the Same result as tho old
"a at thirty-fivc, and requires no moro than
onc-sixth of the charge. The projcclles
penetrate into block of stone of the hard
est cement 10 IN extent of eighty cen
timctres. (more than two feet) and all
enormous breach is made by tho explosion.
The advantages Of tho 4-pounder are still
moro remarkable. 1t requires but 500
grammes Of powder to throw ball a
distance Of ono kilomctrical league. Tho
precision is such that at tho distance of
300 metres it strikes a single man on
horseback, and at that distance would dc
stroy body of cavalry or infantry. All
the pieces constructed on tho new system
are loaded at tho muzzlo, the loading at
the breach being given up, as many exper
iments lave shown it to be inconycnient.
and even dangerous, so much as to
counterbalance the advantages. Scientific
men affirm that these improvements have
raised tho art Of destruction by artillery to
all but pcrfection.'
