The Gas Question.


For the past few years there has been
much complaining all over the country of
the poor quality aud tho high price charg-
ed for gas And consumers who kept re-
cords and figured up for themselves found
serious discrepancies for which they could
not account, Often the bills were largest
when apparently the least gas was cosum-
ed. Their meters pointed to the amount
OF cubic feet burned. the gas bill was made
out accordingly, and there was no help Tor
it. although the eosumer was we'll satisfied
in his own mind that there was leakage
somewhere. Itnow appears that the MAJ,
ufcturers of gas know all about what the
consumers would like to know n little of
and the secret Of the poor quality of gas
and of the false registering of the metre, it
appears has u very simple scientific sou-
ton. The n. Y. Sun explains it as fol-
lows:
The people of Liverpool (Ens) were
troubled with the sumo question wlch was
dicusscd from day TO l.y in the journals of
that city without satisfactory results
Finally, Mr., Whitley. of The Liucrpool
journal, applet to the editor of Mus
pratt's Chemistry as applied to Arts and
Manufactures" to solve the question Is it
possible by manufacturing inferior against
the consumer! On page l49, vol. .. of the
work quoted, the reply is given. The cd
itOr says at Is no matter what kind of
gas ins0luhle in water, is made. the rcris.
traton would be the same but if atqos-
phericr al was passed into the mains and
entered the metre in company with the
coal GAS. it would tell against the consumer,
md the light wonfd be dctcrioratcd." Mr.
Whitley remarks on the the editors state
ments that experiments mude at the gas
works justified them. 1t appears that if
no more than one tenth of common air is
introduced into the gas holder charged
with gas, the matre will register ten per
cent or more against tho consumer, and
have no visible effect upon the light, which
is an important fact.
Thus it will he seen that the people Of
the United States are paying from 81 so
to 81, or upwards. per 1000 cubic feet for
conln'o,e air inste d Of coal gas. The high
price of coal passed very we'll as an excuse il
couple of years ago, but it will not answer
now, yet the quality of the gas has not i'm
proved. neither has the price been cores
pondingly reluc d. The last Congress
had the gas question before it, and the
New York Legislature has it now under
discussion, but neither have taken hold Of
this branch OF the subject which. after all,
rs the mast important TO consumers. II
the gas companies are compelled to pay

The Education Of Deaf Mutes.

We have received from A. Williams
&Co. Boston, pha'nplet, discussing the
important question of the education Of
deaf mutcs. This little work is by Car
diner Green Hubbard Of Cambridge, and
by it we learn that the method Of teach
ing deaf and dumb mutes in this country
is the French method Of signs. and that in
London there is an Asylum, the largest in
the world, where the mode Of teaching il
the "art of articulation. f"
This writer savs:-Thcre are various sys-
tens used in teaching deaf mutes, and tho
advocates for each claim for their own pc
culiar advantages. Each aims to teach the
English language. The system in our
Asyums is the French, and is language
of signs or pantomime, and is called by
Its teachers the natural language of the deaf
mute. Another system discards all panto-
mime, and uses simply the manual alpha
bet. with or without reading from the lips.
While third, the German system uses
only articulation and reading from tho
lips, or the spoken word addressed to the
eye instead of The ear.
Miss Harriet Is. Rogers, commenced to
teach pupil by teaching from the lips
and had such success that she has opened
an articnlating Asylum tor the deaf mutcs
at Chelmsford. This writer says: THAT
articulation and reading from the lips can
be acquired by deaf mutcs. so Us to be
made medium of communication with
those around them has been proved, and
we see no reason why this matter should
not be successful.

The Neckan.

in summer, on the headlands,
The Baltic Sea along,
Sits Neckan with his harp of gold,
And sings his plaintiye song.
Green rolls beneath the hcadlands,
Green rolls the Baltic Sea.
And there, below the Seekan's feet,
Ills wife and children be.
lie sings not of the ocean,
Its shells and roses pale,
OF earth, OF earth the Seekan sings;
He hath no other tale.
He sits upon the hcadands,
And sing mourniul stave,
OF all he saw and felt on earth,
Far from the green sea wave.
Sings how, n knight, he wandered
BY castle, field, and town
But earthly knights have harder hearts
Than the Sea Children own.
Sings ofhis earthly bridal
Priests. knights, and ladies' gay.
"And who art thou" the priest began,
''Sir Knight, wedst to-day"
81 am no knight" he answered;
'From the sea waves come"
The knights drew sword, the ladies scrcam'd
The supplied priest stood dumb.
He sings how from the chapel
He vanished with his bride,
And bore her down to the sea halls,
Beneath the salt sea tide.
He sings how she sits weeping
mid shells that round her lie,
False Neckan shares my bed she weep5;
No Christian mate have H.
He sings how through the pillows
He rose to earth again,
And sought priest To sign the cross,
That Ncckan Heaven might gam.
He sings how on an evening;
Beneath the birch tress cool,
lie safe and play'd his harp ofgold,
Beside the river pool.
Beside the pool safe Neckan-
Tears till'd his cold blue eye,
On his white mule, across the bridge,
\ cassock'd priest rode by.
Why sitt'st thou there, o Neckan,
And play'st thy harp of gold?
Sooner shall this my stan bear leaves,
Than thou shalt Heaven behold
The cassocl'd priest rode onwards,
And vanish'd with his mule.
And Nakan in the twilight gray
Wept by the river pool.
In summer on the hcadlands,
The Baltic Sea along,
Sits Neckan with his harp of gold,
And sings this plaintive song,

ing it uron the consumers it will be seen
from the above tn I they car very EASILY

bill. and secure not only three or five per
cent, but double and treble those sums
This is matter that demands and should
receive prompt legislative investig ation and
the application Of the proper remedies.
But there is a mode Of detecting tho
presence Of common air in coal gas which
is thus descibed on page 1853 Of the work
above quoted: :"It is ly collecting pof

and afterwards IA drop or two of a solution
