pany's hydrogen gas. We seldom hear of
an accident BY its nee. Should anything Of
that kind occur, it may be generally traced
to carelessness. How often do We read OF
gas explosionsi If gas coal il not carefully

One of those accidents happened not long
since in this city. How frequently you
read of the streets and houses being blown
up by gass The gas holders that arc 90
carefully watched have exploded, dealing
death and destruction OF property in its vi.
cinity. The great city Of London, with ito
which are within four miles of Chsring
Cross, the heart of London. has its mon
ster gas holders, one of which, placed
ct the Hackney Road station, measuring
two hundred feet in diameter, eighty feet
high, and containing $500 900 cubic feet Of
gas, and with an electric machine properly
adjusted to it London could be more efectu-
ally destroyed than by any battery that
could be brought to bear on it. 1t would
be quite impossible to produce such result
with the atmospheric light. Small acci-
dents may happen through downright care
lessness.
A mixture of atmospheric air and hydro
gen coal gas, is nearly a. explosive as dyna-
mite. The fire damp in the mines of richly
bituminous coal proves the above statement.
On another occasion. if space in your val
liable journal could be allowed, would say
few words on coal oil lamp explosions and
show the remedy for it.

necessarily varies from the nature of tho
manufacture and the different qualities of
coal and other materials. The quantity of
gas made from one ton of coal varies from
5000 q IA 600 cubic feet. E
The net cost to the companies. thirteen in
number, of the twelve candle London gas,
is under eighty cents per 1000 cubic feet,
and in some parts Of England 1t 10 much
less. London gas consumers pay ~ Cd, Or
about one dollar and twelve cents per 1000
cubic feet. and in other parts Of England -
low - % Sd, or sixty-tw and half cents PEI
1000 cubic feet.
It NAV be interesting to the reader to
know what sort of gas is supplied to some
of the largest cities and towns. Vienna 10
rated 1T 9 candles; London, l2 Paris, IL;
Birmingham, England, Is; MANCHESTER,
gov, e e Edinburgh %; Paisley 30; A0er-
At some of tho gas-works in England two
qualities of gas are made, ordinary gas and
camel gas, the lastnamed gas having two
thirds more illuminating power than the
former. The camel coal gas is sold to con-
sumers at six shillings, or u 81, per lOOO
cubic feet.
The burners made especially for the last
named gas consumes only . little over one
halt the quantity and gives bright white
light nearly down to the tip of the burner
it does not smoke, and it is free of most of
the other nuisances found in the first named
gas. Such gas is much the cheapest in
the end.
Diminution of light bv admixture of cir
with cool gas was determined by Professor
Frankland. The results Of his experiments
are as follows: Pure camel CD, 100; gas
with one per cent of air, "a; gas with two

A BURGLAR KILLED WHILE AT WORK.
A few minutes after twelve O'Clock, Sunday
night, gentlemen sleeping in Mr.. L. Terre-
bonnes store, No. Is Toulouse street, were
made aware that burglars were at work on
the lower floor. A hole in the second floor
enabled the gentlemen to take q partial
view Ct scene, sufficient to enable them to
understand that two burglars were oper-
atipg. Messrs. p. Fouris, F. Cherat and l..
Terrebonne were aroused, and managed to
reach the banquette in front, and call for q
policeman, they kowing that the thieves
could not escape only one way, in
front. The rascsls quickly understood that
they were discovered, and 80 made des-
perate rush for liberty. As they ran out OF
the building Mr.. Terrebonne OK his partners
fred three shots at the fellows, bringing
down one of them, killing him instantly.
the bullet cutting his spine. The other
robber escaped. The dead body was sent
to the third precinct stationhouse and
searched. Three skeleton keys, two dirks,
SIG 50 in counterfeit money, promissory
note for 5000 and ST. 25 in currency were
found In tho pockets. Deceased was named
B. Galetti, an Italian, fifty-two years old.
Immediately after the shooting, Officer
Thompson arrested Mr.. Terrebonne, and
last evening Judge Staes released him on
bail, having been made aware Of the cir
cumstances. and there is abundent proof to
substantiate the above statements.
An examination of the store showed that
the burglars had forced open drawers, and
q note for 5000 and the currency taken
therefrom. In the front door lock was
found q skeleton key, that had been used
to turn the bolt. It is not known who the
other burglar is, and the deceased does not
seem to be known to the police Is profess
sional thief.

PoNrcHARrRAM WHARF BURNED.-Yes-
terdsy morning $50 feet of the outer end Of
the Pontchartrsin railroad wharf was
burned, and tho steamboat Camelis barely
escaped, but not without . little scorching.
The only explanation suggested is that
sparks from the Camelia's smoke-stack were
blown on the wood work, and 90 started
the fire. The wind was blowing quite
strong at tho time, and consequently the
damage w.s much greater than would have
beon otherwise.
