GAS FOR NOTHING AT a PROFIT.
Erap, Al -. n -


Scientific prophets have forctold that a
day will come when the residual proI-
ucts" resulting from distiIling coal will
be so valuable as to reduce the price Of
gas to mere nothing That good time
has not yet arrived, il must be confessed
but if We may believe the confident
assertions of \ gentleman at Chester
there is already IN existence af appliance
which goes long way towards fnIflling
these predictions. He CLAIMS to know a
peculiar description of oven for Masking
cake which, without the help of a high
chimney, enables those who use it TO
drive steam engines without any expense
for fuel. Every ton of coal consumed in
the oven yields coke worth z shillings
and tar and ammonia worth shillings,
in addition to 1900, feet of gas. If
therefore, the first two products are sold
the priee-11 shillings- than. pays

derived, as well as for labor, wear and
tear and interest on the capital sunk in
the plant. The manufacturer conse qnen-
tly gets IA 600 sfeetsof gas for nothing

fuel To generate steam It IL certainly
bold claim 10 put ferwafd, but it NAV,
perhaps. be justified By the present
prices of coke, ammonia aud tar. If.
however, these ovens come into general
use, the market value Of such products
will fall heavily in proportion to the
immense enhancement Of supply, and in
that case the prices fetched would not
cover the cost OF materiais and labor.

A Monan,s Nose.

NnlNtko ZINES.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States will soon be called upon to de.
eide whether a newspaper may with
IMMUNITY call a woman ugly aud say
that she has big nose. The Nash
vile American was reckless enough
not long ago to say that miss Alice
Marguerite King, an actress, was 3
small lady with very big nose, and
ugly. Miss King resented this frank.
ness Of expression and brought suit
for libel, fixing her damages at $50, 900.
The court, however, seems to have
been profoundly impressed with Miss
Kings nasal appendOge, the peculiar
beauty in her countenance, for it dis
missed the suit. Miss King, therefore,
has determined to appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, and decision
