GAS FROM PETROLEUM-The erection of works
on the corner Of New Montgomery and Natoma
streets, for the purpose Of supplying the Palace
and the Grand Hotels with gas from crude petrO-
leum, has created great deal Of interest and no
inconsiderable amount Of discussion. The Super
visors hesitated long about granting permit to
put i'm a steam boiler 10 which strenuous opposi-
tion was made. The boiler was needed for the
purpose of furnishing power to run the eXhauster
for conducting the gas through some part of the
process. 1t was convenience, but not an indis-
pensable adjunct. Tired of delay, those in charge
finally started the works without the aid of the
boiler. The works have now been in operation
four days making gas, which has been used in the
Palace. For the first two days, the eXhauster
worked by hand power, but two days ago the de-
sired permit for the boiler obtained and steam
took the place OF muscle. For four days the
Palace has been lighted entirely by gas from these
works. The enterprise has proved in every way
satisfactory to its protector, the works producing
three times As much gas needed at less than
half the cost Of city gas, and Of a much superior
quality.-S0n Francisco Chronicle.

CREMATIoN.-In Italy, where cremation has
become quite common, the question has been
raised, what shall be done with the ashes Of the
dead? When cremation first practiced in
tions on this Sombre theme Wives or husbands
who had buried several partners were advised to
have the ashes of each inclosed in ornamental
vases properly labeled and placed in orderly array
on a shelf in the parlor drawing-room. In
Milan, where "crematory temple has been con-
structed, an annex TO that structure is now to be
built which will have small inches to contain
urns, and in these the ashes Of those whose bodies
have been cremated will be placed. Paris is con
tempating a similar project. The practice Of
cremation is not making headway very fast and
its successful introduction is yet problematical,
although there is much 10 be said i'm its favor

A Western writer calls attention to the fact that
the volume of water i'm the streams of Iowa is
much smaller than il was when the Territory
first settled. He states that i'm the year 1855
steamers made regular trips from the Mississippi
River to Des Moines and that one went up as far
as Fort Dodge. At present frst-class pickerel
can scarcely make the trip. At that time the
Boone River was a stream of considerable magni-
tude, but now it is scarcely more than creek.

DANGEROUS LIQUIDs.-Ammonia, especially
the stronger kinds, is very dangerous, few drops
being enough to njure person. When used for
cleansing purposes it should be handled with great
care, that the gas, which is given off freely in
warm room, be not breathed in large quantities
and do injury to the delicate lining of the and
mouth Benzine is liquid, in the handling Of
which much caution should be exercised 1t is
very volatile, and its vapOr, as well the liquid
itself, is infiammable When employed in re-
moving grease or other stains from clothing,
gloves etc, il should never be used at night, nor
at any other time fire. Ether is another
dangerous liquid, and in other than the physi-
clans hands it had best not be employed in the
household. Alcohol must also be used with great
care, especially at night.

TELEGRAPHs AND RAILWAYS IN CHI
NA.-China will in all probability
unexpectedly derive advantage from
the recent spectre Ct a Russian inva-
sion. The palace authorities have
hitherto been strongly opposed to
the construction of railways within
the frontiers of the empire. It is not
very long ago hat the Chinese
Government bought up and silently
removed a railway constructed and
worked by foreign capitalists, consi-
dering the Sedan chair a sufficiently
rapid and luxurious means of loco
motion. But the Ministers who had
to prepare for war were greatly him
dered by the complete absence Of
suitable means Of transport for troops
