From tho San Francisco Alta California, Dee. s.
On Monday and Tuesday afternoon q large
number of citizens, by invitation, visited the
brass foundry Of h1r. ". T. Garnett, on Fremont
street, for the purpose Of witnessing some e1--
periments with q new fuel recently invented and
patented by Dr. Ireland, of Watsonville, IN this
State. They were shown into that portion Of
the establishment occupied by tho furnaces, and
in one corner found d brick furnace
some eight feet long and six feet high.
On the top Of this was an iron tank holding
about ten gallons, which WAS filed with crude
petroleum. From this tank q pipe about
IN inch and 3 half in diameter led into the side
Of the furnace. A small jet Of oil, not larger
than small goose-quiu, was permitted to flow
out Of this tube; . Light is placed beneath this
jet, and it Immediately ignites. Another pipe
about al inch in diameter leads from steam
boiler stationed some fifteen feet away. This
pipe leads small jet Of steam upon the burning
oil and the moment the steam strikes the oil the
oxygen in the wateris set free and ignites with 3
tremendous roar, generating in @ very few mo-
ments q most intense white heat. From this
small source the entire chamber Of the furnace,
which is some two feet by five feet, is filed with
a flame 80 brilliant and dazzling that one cannot
gaze on it for more than moment at time.
This flame possesses an the heat or an o1y-
hydrogen flame, and beneath it's fierce power
the hardest metals melt in q feW moments. The
inventor Of the apparatus By which the ele-
ments Of heat, which nature go generously
provides. eau be utilized. is very modest

discovery before the public until he had fully
it. He ssyg that the cost Of his furnaces will be-
only nominal sum-that they will be within
the reach OF everyone who owns quartz ledge,
while the amount Of oil consumed in twenty
four hours will not exceed ten gallons, at cost
Of 50. The doctor has every confidence in his
discovery, and declares his ability to
furnish fuel for q voyage Of one Of the
Panama steamers to and from Panama for
the insignificant sum Of $500, while the entire
quantity will not weigh to exceed twenty-five

Continent without milking q few remarks on the

terious and fearful ways Of dealing with baggage
on this aide Of the water, there was some good
reason, but what it was know not.
My first quest in Berlin was to discover
4 GERMAN FAMILY
with whom might live while 7 WAS trying to
master the German. After some difficulty, I sue
ceeded IN finding just such a place as desired,
"a family where several Americans had stayed
before me, and had found it very pleasant. I
was soon safely enaconced in my new quarters,
which found very comfortable,-much better
than had been led to expect. Ny apartment is
not luxurious, but it is nicely furnished, large
and airy. In one corner stands one OF those
huge German stoves, made Of earthenware. It
looms up like q shining, white tower from
floor to ceiling, and presents a curious
though not altogether disagreeable appearance.
These stoves are very economical. They make 3
fire in them early in the morning, and get the
whole immense fabric thoroughly heated
through, and then the heat lasts all day, and is
slowly given out from the polished surface OF
the earthenware. The heat is, however, dry and
close, and to me, at least rather unpleasant.
On entering into a more minute inspection OF
my domains, I failed to find several things
which knew should need. One Of them WAS
a lamp. How to provide myself with such q one
as desired, was the first thing to be consider
ed. I boldly determined to enter at once upon q

BR1GHAM You've ON LIFE INSURANCE

BRIGHAM You've ON LIFE Insurance
A correspondent of the Chicago 1Tib
alqae tells the following:
WhenI was in Utah / heard Brigham
Youngs notions about life insurance
A respectable general agent came to
him one day to obtain bis approval and
endorsement of well-established East
erninsurance company. Brigham treat
ed him with courtesy, and said that he
was opposed, from all he knew, to the
life insurance system. eff | should
change my views on this head" said
the old Mormon, / shall favor the es-
tablishment of life insurance company
among ourselves, so that, if there shall
be any profits, we shall have the adj
vantage of them right here, building up
our settlement and establishing our bus
mess, instead of contributing thousands
of dollars annually to build up great
insurance palaces III Hartford and New
York Life insurance, in case of young
people and those who get fair earnings,
is a shiftless way of providing for the
future. 1t often proceeds on the as
sumption that man will, of himself,
save nothing, sacrifice nothing, venture
nothing, and leave nothing to his chill
dren; and that he must take chances
upon his death by putting money in the
hands of smarter people. We have
men here" continued Brigham, "who
have contributed several hundred dol
lars in insurance, and, failing to make
some one payment, all interest in their
policies has passed from their hands.
In this country money is worth more,
both to ones own business character,
to his neighborhood, and in the high
rate Of interest which it bears, than it
can make, under ordinary circumstances,
laid up in life insurance. 4 man who
starts life afraid that he cannot save
anything, through either his own weak
ness or proiiigacy, and who flies into
life insurance, throws away the stimulus
for thrift and vigilance" Brigham has
since started life insurance company,
however. and put at the head Of it a
Gentle, formerly Secretary of the Ter
ritory.

BANKING ON THE WHITE Folks Plan
Sam Johnson, Of New Orleans, was 4
great authority on the levee, and one
day he called his satellites together and
addressed them on the Importance of
adopting fiscal policy more nearly re-
sembling that which had raised 10 OPP
ulencc their Caucasian ncighbors. Mig
gers said he, "if you want TO get
rich You must save your money. You
must have a bank. OATS dc way white
folks does" These words fell on a pro-
.pitious soil. The project went into
swift execution, and the earnings q
the week were promptly forthcoming.
/" Niggcrs," says Sam, "lll bc de cash
Ter; you must posit dc money wild me,
and when you want any you must
draw onto it OATS dc way dc white
folks does" All went mcrriIy for a
while, aud the depositors were highly
elated about ode bank" But by and
by there began TO be troub|c-not with
the deposits, but the drafts. 1t was
found easier to get funds into this mod
el institution than to get them out
again, and Sam was compelled to face
the angry customers and explain. "lt's
all right" says he; ode banks only
suspended, and in a few days she will
again resumc;' OATS de way dc white
folks does" This expedicnt lasted but
little while, however; suspicious of
foul play day by day increased, ana the
storm was about to burst on the head
of the great operator, when he found
it expedient to gather once more his in
furiated depositors, and face the music"
frankly. "Niggers," said he, "dar amt
no use MOURN about it! De moneys
spent, and de banks broke; and OATS
de way the white folks does |"
