The Competition Between Gas and
EleofrIcifT.

From Electric and Gas Illumination" by c.
NJ LuRgreR, IN Popular Science NORthsV.
On these figures the cost of electricity is
near enough to that of gas to enable It to
offer a very substantial competition, and one
which may be expected to grow stronger
with increased experience and future i'm
provements. That under the stimulus Of
this competition considerable Improvement
viii be made In lighting by gas seems very
probable. Already It has been shown that
in the matter OF burners there is q wide field
for invention, and that the results now
usually obtained are much under what are
possible. With the high-power burners of
Siemens, the illumination obtained from six
teen candle gas has been more than
doubled, and in others it has been carried
up to from five - five and half can
yielding such great increase OF
light win be for the general pur-
poses Of lighting, and whether they can
with advantage displace the simple fat tip,
remains to be eaen, but the present indica-
tiOns are that It Is chiefly through the use
OF improved burners that gas must endeavor
to resist the assaults Of the incandescent
light. Competition on the basis of gas of
higher Illuminating power simply, with
out a resort 10 improved burners,
does not seem very promising. The re-
Gently published report Of the sub.commis-
sion appointed to test the incandescent
lamps at the Paris Exhibition, of which Mr..
CroOkes was member, shows that thirty
two candle lamp can be maintained with an
increase OF from 2S to 90 per cent of the
power required TO sustain one of sixteen
candles, while with gas such an increase of
Illumination will require an additional ex-
pense Of fully so per cent OF the cost of
one OF the lower candle power This is so
with the Lowe gas, with which three gallons
Of oil are sufficient to give sixteen eandles.

In gas lighting in the matter OF im-
provemenf o. manufacture and burners
lie sufficiently far off to give gas unques-
toned possession OF the field of lighting or
not. the result can alone determine But, II
the figures presented in this paper can be at
all relied upon, they show that gas manu-
faeturers, and those interested In gas prop

strength in their own domain of this rising
industrial power.

rasl weary OF my burden,
And fain would rest;
Fa- the sombre winds are signing,
ana my fondest hopes are dying,
aud ike autumn leaves are lying
On eartn cold breast.
aud hear the voices calling,
Sweet. soft and low;
ard their plaintive tones are pleading,
While the day Of life IS speeding,
And worldly scenes receding,
For me 70 go.
Come with us across the border
seek rest profound;
Where no sOmbre winds are eighing,
Where no hopes and joys are dying,
Where no dream Of love is lying,
Dead aDon the ground.
We viii show a light bright burning,
Like a golden star;
lisa hope YOU one day buried,
On the busy w0rit all hurried,
Err became the re- directed,
To shine thus afar!
We viii show you heavens morning,
A never ending day;
Where the softest ravs are shining
AMI -he blossoms sweet entwining-
Where the angels are divining
Every thought upon the way.
Every leaf upon its shore lines
is a gem;
v1ts "a withered one is dropping.
While the hand Of love is looping
and into garlands grouping
An of them.
Tn that world there is no sorrow,
Nlr tear;
v-varcomes the broken hearted
rru whose eager life departed
lac hopes that once had started
Fond ana dear!
Y1ta storm cloud ever gathers
On the air;

Artsu mer breezes sitting,
Aud sweetest perfume lifting,
From gardens fair.
ONLY music soft and melting
Eo0thes the soul;

WIrl a gentle hand undOing
All the cares that were bestreWing
Each earthly goal
Lead me 20 that land or beauty,
So I may abide;
lead me where the flowers are blooming,
Where the music wild is wooing,
Where the hand OF love is moving
On every tidel
Like a little child I'll follow
swift after thee;
To 1tha land Of never weeping,
Where my fathers love is keeping
Mortal souls who failed in reaping
Earthly ecstacy.
I win take my burden for pillow,
And lie down to rest;
Gods love shall dwell beside me,
And no clou shall ever hide me
From the lovins ones that guide me
10 the portals OF the blest.
