The yegaEies of Gas Bills.

The New York Times, in discussing the
matter of the fearful aud wonderful man
ner in which gas bills arc made out, tells
the following story as having occurred in
that city: a gentleman gave in December
Last 2 reception, and lit every burner In
the house-45 in mum ber-at SO o'clock
in the afternoon, and kept them in full
blaze for eight hours, which made $50
hours of consumption of gas. Having sey-
eral guests. the drawing room chandeliers
and brackets, some fifteen in number, were
on three other occasions kept burning five
hours, which made hours more of gas
consumption. These guests burned gas in
their bedrooms during stay of ten days,
certainly fifty hours more. AT the very
lowest counting of the gas consumed, this
would make t35 hours of extraordinary
consumation of gas. Now. the normal use
of gas in this house was as follows: In the
ha there was gas burner, in the draw.
irg room a, in the library l. in the bed
chambers 2. in the bath room !, IN the
kitchen l, making IN all 10 burners, on
which the gas was turned on for hours
nightly, making during m NTH of 30 days
l 500 hours of regular gas consumption.
Now, quite naturally, this gentleman ex-
pected that his bill for gas would be aug
mente in the proportion Of 2ls5 hours TO
800 hours. To his great surprise. the
amount claimed by the gas company for
the month of December, 1880. was so
cents less than for d ecember, 1879.

Daring the past Year, or since new
railroad enterprises have taken shape,
considerable dis cussion has been going
on in reference to a narrow gauge rail-
road from the OHIO River sout b ward
through Eastern Kentucky, Solt 1west
Virginia, Upper East Tennessee, West
ern North Carolina, t, the coast of the
Atlantic. From what L can learn this
enterprise is in the hands of competent
and reliable individuals. [ do not
| know when they propose to begin on
the Ohio River or where the terminus
will be on the Atlantic. Their main
object is to develops the vast mineral
| interests in the section named.
Those who are familiar with these
sec tons can imagine the Importance
such line would be 10 the South, and
especially to East Tennessee.
The subject of the present article is
a narrow gauge railroad from Knox
vile to Cumberland Gap. or tipping
the enterprise spoken Of in the
vicinity of Cumberland or Pound Gap,
and passing in the vicinity of Tsze-
! well, Maynardville, aud int4rsecting
the wide gauge railway system at
Knoxville.
\ narrow gauge railway over this
route, it is said by competent persons,
could be easily constructed, aud made
! to pay a very handsome profit. There
would be no great eng neeriDg difficu'
es to encounter, as the route would
mainly pass up and through valleys,
with easy grades and curves.
Timber Of The best quality is found
on the Ciinch aud Powell Rivers, W hich
with the annual crops are carried to
Chattanooga. link ores of excellent
qualities have been found, which, if
there was railway, could be easily
delivered in Knoxville without any
great incOnvenieDce or cos. to the
miner. Superior iron ores have also
been discovered. and with a railroad
would soon put furnaces into b'ast al
Knoxville.
The coal of Cumberland Gap aud
Southwest Virginia would come in
direct competition with that Of Coal
Creek and Winters Gap, giving TO
Knoxville three points of competition
in the coal trade.
This proposed line would also drain
East Tennessee.
No local or through line could have
any better advantages than narrow
gauge railway from Knoxville into
Southwest Virginia via Tszswell. A
lite eff,rt on The pat OF our ct zens
might direct he attention Of the pro-
jec:ors to ro t. from Cumberland
Gap to Knoxville. W.Y.L.

Mr.. EDITOR: I have just received
a letter from DR.. Holland which will
intere t all your readers unless We ex-
cept the owner of coal mines. D..
HIS statements will answer the in
quiries OF a proprietor of a railroad
made few days since.
He say: Il have in perfected my
permanent app icatious of my retOrts
to one of the largest locomt tives there
is in this sector IN Y. city, and fired
up and run out day with absolute
success. This was Jan. 49, AS it
was the frs time OF firing this MAJ
chinery, [ rau the fires slow from
the start so as to see that every
care how long it took and did
not suppose any one was timing me
but when the steam gauge tt.rted, an
engineer present said: Doctor, 1t is
just 40 minutes since you lighted your
! match" DR. Holland said: 1T is a
40 ton locomotive, and there were 800
gallons of it to heat, besides the ma
| chinery. We saw the team up to 127
pounds when the engine commenced
to bow fl, then to 100 pounds, when,
| t. use an engineers phrase, it poppsd
hen pounds more, and held ere.''
| He adds: You may now expect
rapid developments of NY iDventions.'

I tend carry out long-cherished
