Gas Consuming Cooking Stoves.

THESE Stoves have hollow CRATE of such
i a form that the air, entering through
holes In front OF the stove, must traverse
one bur after another before it escapes into
the buck fire plate. which is also divided
into passages through which the air must
pass before it escapes through perforations
into the fuel, 50 that the latter is subjected
to two series Of thoroughly heated air which
tend ehectually to consume the gases mixed
with the product of combustion. The advan-
tages of this arrangement is the great econ
o:ny in consumption Of fuel, and the thorough
cqualiziag Of the heat throughout tn. oven.
The stoves are warranted to give satiSfac-
tion, and are offered at city prices for cash.

Radford has been the commander Of til
Brooklyn Navy Yard for some years. He
entered the service on Missouri appoint

sequently been in the navy nearly forty
wears. He was thirteen years at sea, having
last been captain Of the steamship Dacotah
He was schoolmate of Admiral Dahlgren,
Commodores Rowan and Rogers, Captains
Meade, Drayten and others.
The Puritan is rapidly preparing for her
trip to Europe. The inner shell of the tur-
ret is now being dragged along the wharf,
from the house where it was built to its
place on board the vessel. 1t is slid along

dent describing the mountain and country
adjacent says: On top Of the mountain, is
a small village named Summertown, which
was once watering place aud q, resort for
the chivalry of the South. 1t is one of the
incest little places have seen, and there is
an air Of neatness not often found in this
forsaken country about it. As you look to-
ward the south, Chattanooga lies at the
foot Of the mountain, and from the foot a
line of rebel erathworks stretches across
the valley to Mission Ridge at Rossville,
some five or six miles.
When the rebels were in possession OF
Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, and
these earthworks, Chattanooga was com
pletely surrounded, tho river being on one
side 1t does seem truly astonishing that
we ever succeeded in taking these imper..
tant positions with so small an effort ard
loss of life. The scenery about Lookout is
sublime, and all attempts at its description
would fail to convey au adequate idea of
the splendor there unfolded. The mind
seems too small to take in the picture there
spread out before you, and you turn from it
feeling your own insigniicance, and tho
greatness of the Creator. sh.s..

about twelve miles and is noted for being
