ARMY AND NAVY NEWS.

A cable dispatch received at the Navy de-
partment reports that the United States
steamer Swatara is at Aspinwall.
Only one of the new steel cruisers has been
named thus far. The law requires tho Presi-
dent to name them, and Secretary Chandler
has submitted TO him list of names from
which IL is expected ho will in a few days
select names for the other three vessels.
Secretary Chandler says no complaints have
been made to him by the relatives of the late
Jerome Collins of unfair treatment before
the Jeanette court Of inquiry, and he is not
aware that any effort will be made by them
to secure pension, as has been asserted.
Surgeon Joseph B. Parker has been ordered
to the torpedo station; Assistant Paymaster
James s. Phillips has been detached from duty
in the bureau of provisions and clothing and
placed on waiting orders; Surgeon William
j. Simon from the torpedo station and placed

Grains.

The Inspectors report for the month end
ing April 23 last shows that the illuminating
power averaged 1902 candles tho highest
being 1900 and the lowest 1903, barely above
the limit. The ammonia varied from S.07 to
.6s grains in each 100 cubic feet and the
sulphur from from 1901 to 1853, and the often
sive sulphuretted hydrogen was present every
day as usual.
"The trouble is" said Inspector Ford to a
reporter yesterday afternoon, the standard
of gas prescribed by law is too low. 1t is only
sixteen candles and the gas company always
averages above that. In the winter they for
while furnished gas Of seventeen or eigh-
teen candle power, and then when they re-
duced it, Of course the change was percepti-
BILE and the lessened illuminating power was
the subject of much complaint"
"You say that the standard is low; is il
lower than in other cities2"
YES. In New York j think some of the
companies go as high as thirty candles.
have .lyself tested the gas of one of the COM
panies there and found it over twenty-five
candles, and, think, the standard here
should be at least twenty candles. The only
way to furnish good quality of gas at low
rate, is to mako it from water, that is, decom.
posing water and liberating its oxygen and
hydrogen"
This gas company here makes its gas on
tiroly from coal, don't it2"
Il think not. / understand they have q
Lowe apparatus, although l have never seen
III that is, for making gas from water"

OUR VILLAINOUS GAS.
The Law Doesn't Require II TO be Good, but 1t
Isn't as Good as the Law Requires.
Sixteen Times Last Year It Fell Below the
standard.

Tho report Of the inspector of gas to the
district commissioners for tho year ending
June 30 last, which is now just coming from
the press, contains some information Of inter-
est to consumers, and of value to the prosecu-
ting attorney in the good work he is about to
begin. "The gas supplied by the Washington
monopoly" the inspector says, "is not, as peo-
pie already know, entirely product from
coal; they use naphtha as an enricher.
"This hydro- o-carbon is converted into a fixed
gas, and then united with the gas obtained
from COAL This combination of the gases
from coal and napbtha yields an illuminating
gas Of high specific gravity. On some occa-
sions complaints were made of its giving of
smoke. This nuisance will arise, however,
from several causes, such as scant or inade-
quate supply, imperfect or unsuitable burners,
and deficient pressure.
I" If the supply of gas and the pressure be
not ample to give a perfect shape or form to
fat-hame burners, smoke and unpleasant
odors produced by imperfect combustion must
be the result.
THE gas supplied by the Georgetown Gas
light company is manufactured entirely from
c al, Pennsylvania and West Virginia Goals
being used, with from 10 to 15 per cent. of
Cannelton cannol coal as an enricher."
On eighteen occasions during the past year
the gas supplied by the Washington Gaslight
company was of less illuminating power than
sixteen candles, as follows

Arthur as an Angler.

In delightful series of "Winter Talks on
Summer Pastimes," contributed to the New
York Forest and Stream just before his death,
the late George Dawson wrote:
Gcn. Arthur, now President of the United
States is also we'll known "brother of the
angle" He has all the best qualities of the
most famous disciples of the gentle art. He
is patient, courteous, companionable en-
thusiastic, and expert. He is wthal an
ardent lover of all that is grand and beautiful
and picturesque in nature. AS l have said Of
another can say of him, in all that moves
our sensibilities and kindliest sympathies he
is as impossible as n child and as gentle as
woman. In spite of the rough school in
which he has been lifelong pupil, his heart
is "open as day TO melting charity" and his
poetic tastes enable him always and every
where to see
Sermons In stones, books in running brooks,
Aud good in everything,
His love of the art is tho outgrowth of his
Rsthetic susceptibilities and this love will
remain with him long after the dazzling
glories of Office shall have lost their charm,
because the beauties Of nature are as varied
and exhaustless as the munifcence and
majesty of their benefcent author. The
pleasurable emotions they excite, like the
eternal principle mystcriously linked to our
finite humanity, never die. Than Gen.
Arthur no man can pitch tent more quickly,
adorn camp more tastefully, cast fly more
deftly, fight II salmon more artistically or
bring him to gaf more gracefully. | owe to
his courtesy the opportunity to kill my first
salmon, have been with him in every phase
Of an anglers experience and know him to
be the peer of the most accomplished and
most appreciative of the masters of tho art. 1t
has been his good fortune to kill Che largest
salmon ever taken with fly on this conti-
nent; and il was because / knew his intense
fondness for the pastime that appreciated
how deeply he felt his disappointment when,
after his nomination as vice president, / ton
dered him my congratulations, he said L
thank you, of course, but / am afraid that,
for this summer at least, it will keep me away
from our grand old river A pastime that
could be remembered and spoken of under
such circumstances must have a strong hold
upon ones affections"
