two distinct avocations, though adopts al
the former amusement sometimes imagine

How TO READ Gas .MErEg.--lt 10
very common thing for dis putes to arise on
tho presentation of gas bills, for the reason
thstmany householders are unable to properly
read their meters. By remembering the toll
lowing instructions, every man can read his
meter as well as the man that invented IT.
The meters (both wet and dry in ordinary
use will be found to have three indexes, the
hand on the first or right hand index moves
to the right, as the figures read, and each
index begins q, a cipher (O1 at the top and
reads, one to two, to three, and so to the
cipher again, which is ten When the hand

fold mutipiers Of tho one preceding.

but the muluplier is generally placed above
tho index, thus the right hand is lone
thousand" the next to the left or middle
index is "ten thousand" and the last or
left hand index is tone hundred thousand.
Therefore, on the first or right hand index,
one on the dial stands for 100; in the mid
bic index, one stands for 1000; and on the
left hand index stands for 10000, and 80 II

To read the meter, begin with the left in

because said MANNED soldier was not a

be proper to add that both Duval and
