How GAS WAS FIRST UsED.-Great
was the amazement of all England when
at the close of the last century William
Murdoch discovered the use Of combus-
tible air or gas. So little was the inven-
ton understood and believed in by
those who had not seen it in use that
even great and wise men laughed at the
idea. "How could there be light with
out a wick?" said a member Of parlia-
ment v hen the subject was brought be-
fore the House. Even Sir Humphrey
Davy ridiculed the idea OF lighting
towns by gas, and asked one Of the pro-
prietors if they meant to take the dome
of st Pauls for gas meter. Sir Wal
ter Scott, too, made himself merry over
the idea of Illuminating London by
smoke, though he was glad enough, not
80 long after, to make his own house at
Abbotsford light and cheerful on wintry
nights by the use of that very smoke.
When the House of Commons was
lighted by gas, the architect imagined
that the gas ran on fire through the
pipes, and he, therefore, insisted on
their being placed several inches from
the wall, for fear of the building taking
fire; and members might be observed
carefully touching the pipes with their
gloved hands and wondering they did
not feel warm. The first shop lighted
in London by the new method was Mr..
Ackermann's, in the Strand, in 1910,
and one lady of rank was so delighted
with the brilliancy of the gas lamp on
the counter that she asked to be al
lowed to take it home in her carriage.
Mr.. Murdoch was, however, too busy
with other pursuits to continue to study
the use of gas, and though he was un-
doubtedly the first to apply it to practi-
cal purposes, many others laid claim to
the honor, and other people quickly
reaped the benefit of his cleverness and
i9genuity. In this he shared the gem
-eral fate OF inventors. &C Coal Trade Jour

disgrace to be boy, for she and sisters
are always snubbing me because 1 am a

If he goes down with view of finding

very likely that he will not find the best

and extnsagant used much % u for the
table.
The extraordinary yield of honey
during the past season has more than
ever demonstrated the necessity for in
creasing the channels through which
this delicious nectar may find lis way
before the public. The efforts Of the
dealers have already resulted in taking
It from the list Of luxuries and bringing
il into general demand for families OF
modente means, and Il has taken its
place beside such articles as butter,
cheese and cream. Bee men don't like
to acknowledge the fact that honey at
five cents pound returns more on the
investment, and labor required than
most other farm products, but it is,
nevertheless true. They seem very
much afraid that merchants who are now
turning their attention to its sale will
cut down the price and spoil the mar
ket.
The law of supply and demand gov
erns the market price of commodities,
whether wheat OF honey; and, in selling,
the question is not what either can be
afforded for, but what will it bring
Fhe demand for honey, as a luxury, has
heretofore absorbed all that was pro-
duced, and made it SO dear that COM
paratively few could afford it. Now,
with the modern appliances discovered
to direct these busy workers for mans
benefit, bee keeping is destined 10 de-
velop q source Of untold wealth to the
country, and bees will be kept in sufi-
cient numbers to gather the millions of
tons of sweets formerly wasted. Exag-
gerated and incredible as this express
sion may seem at the first glance, with
the record of 1000 pounds of surplus
honey gathered in one season by bees
kept within an area of ten miles as ba-
sis for an estimate. the statement is no
longer mere hyperbole of speech.-Ru-

FUEL that is saturated with moisture.
even to small degree, is not only dis.
agreeable to use, but is very uneconomi-
cal. Experience teaches that it takes
the heat produced by one pound of coal
or two of wood to convert IA pounds of
water to steam. 1t therefore REQUIRES a
considerable per cent of the heat pro-
duced By wet or moist fuel to drive off
the moisture. And all this heat is en-
tirely lost for all useful purposes. It is
a very costly practice to season wood or
dry coal after it has been put in the
stove.-Prdcticdl Farmer.

EARrH MEDIcNE.-Some very extra
ordinary properties have been discover
ed in the earths Of New Jersey. 1t
seems to be an infallible cure for chron-
ic diseases, for rheumatism, wounds,
bruises and corrupting sores. The sp-
plication is very simple. The earth is
bound on to the limb and changed once
day. Some very extraordinary cures
have been performed, and people carry
off quantities of the earth and apply it
at home. It can be found, not only by
the acre, but by the mile. 1t is as good
for animals as It is for man. A farmer
had hog that was fearfully lacarated.
Inflammation set in and the hog was
turned out to die. He crawled to hol-
low filed with swash. he laid himself
down and continued to wallow. In
three days the Inflammation was gone.
The animal began to eat, and in. less
than q week was perfectly cured.
Whether the medical properties are
chemical or mineral no one can tell as
vet. The farm on which this remarka-
bic earth is found is owned by a New
York merchant. His friends already
distinguish him as the Mud Doctor.

SoUTHDowN SHEEP The Practical
Shepherd copies the following descrip-
ton of Southdowns, by John Wilson,
Professor of Agriculture in the Univer-
sity Of Edinburg:
The Southdowns of the present day
are without horns, and with dark brown
faces and legs; the size and weight have
been increased; the fore quarters inn
proved in width and depth; the back and
loins have become broader and the ribs
more curved so as to form a straight
and level back; the hind quarters are
square and full, the tail well set on, and
the limbs shorter and finer In the bone.
These results are due to the great and
constant care that has been bestowed
on the. breed by Gilman and his
contemporaries, as we'll as by his sue
cessors, whose hocks fully sustain the
character of the improved breed.
The sheep, though fine in form and
symmetrical in appearance, are very
hardy, keeping up their condition on
moderate pastures, and readily adapting
themselves to the different districts and
syAtems of farming in which they are
now met with. They are very docile
and thrive we'll, even when folded on
the artificial pastures of an arabic farm.
Their disposition to fatten enables them
to be brought into the market at twelve
and fifteen months old, when they aver
age so lbs. each. At two years they
will weigh from 100 to 130 lbs. each.
The meat is Of fine quality, and al
ways commands the highest price in the
market. The ewes are very prolific,
and are excellent mothers, commonly
rearing 100 to 130 lambs to the 100 ewes.
The fleece, which closely covers the
body, produces the most valuable of
our native weols It is short in the
staple, fine and curling, with spiral
ends, and is used for carding purposes
generally. s...sz...-.s.. ~

THE British Museum has recently re-
ceived an acquisition in the shape of
Babylonian antiquities, the result Of the
last expedition undertaken by Mr.. Geo.
Smith. They were obtained from Hillah,
a town about three miles north of the
site of Babylon, and consist of contract
tablets, mortgage loans, promissory
notes. records of land sales, shares and
similar matters, all of which go to prove
that the ancients transacted business
very much on the Wall street plan.

OPIUM AND THE CHINESE OFFICIALS
The Chinese officials at Nanking have
been endeavoring to suppress the Opt
um dens. Not long ago a Toa-t,ai with
a detachment of soldiers was out at a
late hour on tour of inspection, and
halted in front of an opium den kept by
a Hupeh man. When the soldiers
broke open the door the keeper asserted
that, although hewas a smoker himself,
he was violating no law. No other per-
sons were found, but they had ample
time to escape by a back door. The
keeper was SO insolent that the soldiers
were compelled to beat him three times,
and he died the next day. The Hupeh
magistrate promptly entered a COM
plant against the Mandarin, but the
Che-hsien went to inspect the body,
and declared that the wounds on the
mans feet could not have caused his
death, and that he must have poisoned
himself. The Hupeh faction were in SO
great a rage that they destroyed two
cofins which the Che-hsien had fur
nished, and thereupon he retaliated by
ordering the arrest of the three ring
leaders. No sooner had the order been
given than the chair in which he had
been sitting was mashed to atoms, and
he was compelled to run for his life.
On the next day the three men were
arrested, and one Of them was behead

HUMAN EYES. .-Of all animals. man
enjoys the most perfect and capable
eyes With large globe preserved IN
its form by dense, thick, resistant coat
or tunic, to which suitable muscles are
attached for the most delicate and ex-
tensive movements-with an opticalappa-
ratus fer collecting sharp, disadvantages
of surrounding objects, and last and
most important, nerve membrance ofa
cut shape safely lodged within, endow-
ed with the marvellous and exclusive
power of perceiving light, and sending
to the brain reports from the vast uni
verse around us, why, is this not the
most godlike gift confded to living
creatures? In this great perfection the
eyes only exist In the higher animals.
As we descend in the scale it becomes
more simple and less complete, till we
come to the mere eye dot, in the lowest
creatures, composed of a speck of pig
ment and nerve fibre, and capable on
ly of distinguishing light from darkness.
Leaving these rudimentary eyes out Of
view, let us come to eyes that see images.
OF these there are three distinct forms
of arrangement. The simplest and most
imperfect are the so-called compound
eyes Of insects, crabs, etc, etc.
