Internal and demonstrstive evidence, and

he took up the second Psalm, which
had been attacked by Ingersoll and which
is recognized by Christians as a prophecy
OF the coming of the Messiah which was
fulfilled In Christ. Ineersoll held with the
Jews that the Psalm referred to David and
his temporal reign, which the Doctor COM
batted. He also gave reasons why the
Scriptures were written in Hebraic Greek,
the Hebrew having at that time already
become dead language.
He regarded IDgersollism as the worst
form of intidelity that has yet appeared
His assertions about Scripture are not
those OF scholar. What knowledge he
has be has obtained, from Christian
scholars. He defended the revision Of the
Bible on the ground that its translation
was made by men WHO were not inspired,
and it Is their errors which are being
corrected.
As 10 the declaration that IngersOll is
not scholar DR.. Caldwell challenged him
through any of his friends who were
present to come 10 his study and read a
chapter from fac siBatles of the ancient
copies of the Old Testament.

As to Ingersollism he declared that it
was to Ingersoll as the shadow TO the tree.
He touched on all the topics in connection

LIGHTED BY NATURAL GAS.

The Baltimore american states that the city Of
Bradford Penn, and other places in the neighbOr-
hood, are lighted and heated with gas from a well
that was bored for oil, but found to be unprOduc-
tive. The force of the gas was such that, when
lighted, pillar of fire fifty feet high formed,
with a roar that could be heard for a mile more.
The well had been burning for long time before
the feasibility of utilizing il was thought Of. A
company formed for the purpose of carrying
the gas into the city, and it is distributed all
over the place in pipes. gas-pipe, with jets at
tached, is run into the parlor kitchen stove,
and when fire is wanted lighted match is
thrown in and the gas turned on. The gas pos
sesses great heating qualities, and apartments are
warmed quickly and better than if coal were
used. For Illuminating purposes it was not so
good at first, but processes for refining were ap-
Piled and now the natural illuminatOr is unsur-
passed by the finest artificial gas. 1t is cheap
being supplied at monthly rate, instead Of by
the thousand feet-that the people seldom put out
their lights. 1t Is burned all dav and night in
stores, hotels, private houses, and even in the
streets, municipal moonlight being unknown.
Gas wells have come TO be more valuable than oil
wells, and the sudden and phenomenal appearance
Of oil in some Of the principal wells has created
CONSERVATION among the owners and consumers.
\ f"w days ago one Of the wells ceased in its gas
supply, and on examination il was found To be
half full of oil Fifteen barrels Of excellent crude
oil were pumped out and the gas flowed again.
One or two of the other wells have exhibited the
same phenomenon, and il is necessary TO pump
out the oil daily before the gas will flow The
sudden appearance OF oil in territory that was
considered dry has not yet been satisfactorily eX-
plained.
