GLOBES, GLASSES, &C.

Although chimneys are essential to az
gand burners and globes, also in many
places where fish-tail burners are used,
and the ornamental effect is pleasant, still
thew are detrimental to the diffusion OF
the light of gas.
A clean glass globe obstructs about
twelve per cent. A clean globe engraved
with flowers, about twenty -four per cent.
A globe ground all over with flowers, about
forty per cent. An opal globe with flow
ers, about sixty per cent.
Hence is apparent the. folly of using
deliberately engraved and ground globes
or shades where it is desirable to econo-
mise. If engraved at all, the upper part
should be embellished, while the lower
part should be left clear for the free pass
age of light.

SIZE OF FLAME.

1t is a mistake to suppose that the
amount of light obtained will be in pro-
portion to the quantity of gas issuing from
burner. There is a particular point in
the consumption Of any class of burners
where the maximum Of light is derived,
and any deviation from this entails loss.
As an example, if an argand burner,
consuming five feet per hour, giving the
light of twelve candles, be reduced so
that only three fourths Of that quantity is
burned, then the light, instead Of being
equal to nine candles, the theoretical pro-
portion, will be six candles only, being a
positive loss Of thirty-siX per cent. This
reduction may be continued with even
greater proportionate losses. A five-foot
bat-wing or tish-tail burner will give a
maximum of light in proportion to the
gas consumed, compared with any less
sized burner; and it will be found in prac-
tice the larger sized burners are the most
economical.
The large sizes give as high as 200 to SOC
per cent. advantage in light as compared
with the smallest sizes.
AS an example: A bat's-wing burner
consuming two feet per hour gives the
light of two and quarter candles only
while burner consuming seven and one.
half feet per hour gives the light of twenty
two candles, the pressure being uniformly
-tenths of an inch.
The knowledge of these facts is of i'm
portance to the consumer, who may, in his
endeavor to economist, obtain results oil
rectly opposite to his anticipations. 1t il
more economical to have one good large
gas-light than several small ones.

THE United States Government has been
induced by Governor Chamberlain, of Me-,
to provide means for the return to their
former homes of the suffering Joppa colo
nists. Maine newspapers report that the
Governor has been in communication with
Secretary Seward tor some time on the
subject, and has just received letter stat
ing that the Government would proceed
at once to offer its aid to the unfortunate
colonists. This will, we trust, be the last
time that people from the New World will
attempt to colonize the old one. The march

shepherds were killed by tue savages at

broken up. Mr. Sanches lost a large num-
DER OF valuable mares and horsps-upwardS
of hundred. There is no cavalry force
either at Laredo or Eagle Pass, or at Fort
Ewell, and consequently the savages can
cross over the Rio Grande at pleasure aud
murder our detenceless settlers.
Ihe Indians are reported to have come up
10 the very confines of Laredo, and to have
swept OIL horses in view of the town, near
Ghe slaughter house. 1t is scandalous to

"We must go back on the 'nigger,' or
sup' goes the Union party" "Those bonds
must be taxed, or over goes the Canada
vote to the repudlatOrs."
So say men who a fortnight ago were
bowling for manhood suffrage. and betting
high at shorty thousand" for Hayes and che
State ticket. Now, in candor, it manhood
suffrage and determination to redeem the
national obligations were stricken from
the platform of the Union Republican
party, what is there left in it? Not so
much as sounding brass, or a tinkling
cymbal.''
Truth from such source is we'll worth
a notice. Take the Negro from the Repub-
lican party, and ''what is there left in it E?
Not so much as sounding brass and tink-
ling cymbal.'" How the Journal happened
to stumble on the truth is strange-'tis
