i PETROLEUM GAS FOR FUEL.-At the Lo,
clede rolling mills, in st. Louis, petroleum
gas is used as fuel in one of the furnaces,
and preparations are making for introduc!
ing it in the remainder. The crude oil
from which the gas is manufactured is kept
In a 10O-barrel tank on the margin of a
small creek, about 200 feet from the fur
mace. The oil is pumped thence into cy-
Under, where it passes around GOO copper
tubes filed with superheated steam. The
intense heat OF the latter generates gas
which, after being gathered in the receiver
and again brought in contact with super
heated steam pipes, forms the fuel. 1t is
passed off to the fire.boX, where it is to be
used, through an ordinary-looking gas
pipe. The heat is regulated by turning a
stop-cock in this pipe, which is all the h-
Dor the fireman has to perform. The heat
generated by this gas Is more intense than

zines in the shops of the Illinois Central

THE FIRST POLICE observation-disclosures
were made by the Committee on Police OF
che last Council to do something In the way
Of repairs and ventilation to the First Po-
LEGISLATION. They visited the place, and
suggestions were exchanged as to the best
means to improve the house and make it
habitable. Nothing as yet has been done,
however, while the other two station
houses have been put in good repair. In
addition to the lack of ventilation, those who
are familiar with the effect Of the material
used to prepare the battery of the ire-alarm
and police telegraph declare it to be deci-
dedly unhealthy to be exposed as the officers
and men are to the gases arising from tue
jars. For eight months past revision OF
the old house has been contemplated, and
now that the summer has come, it is highly
necessary that something should be done.
The cells, too, are lacking in everything
except dampness, foul air, and dirt, which
it is impossible to remove until the place is
remodled and properly arranged. Can't
