An ingenious method of gas manufact-
ure. resulting in a very good light, has
recently been perfected by Col. Cham
berlain. The materials from which the
gas is made are petroleum, water and
air, and the process is simple, clearly
and apparently safe. The petroleum,
which Is of high quality, is stored IN one
Compartment Of 3 divided tank the
water stored in the other compartment.
The generator consists Of cast-iron re-
tort, so fixed in the body Of furnace
that the heat IS conducted both under
and over it, the fuel being coke. The
oil and water are fed to the retort
through pipes BY drops, four drops of
oil being fed in to one drop Of water.
As the oil and water are decOmpoeed the
resulting gas is led away through = pipe
to washer. This consists Of an iron close
tank containing water and fitted with
vertical divided plates, 90 arranged that
the ras masses alternately under and over
them through the water ON its way to
the gas-holder, where it is stored for use.
AS soon as a sufficient quantity OF gas
has been made and stored the oil and
water are turned of, and q jet of air is
forced into the retort by means of .
small Roots blower. This air Is also
decomposed, and, following the course
of the oil and water gas through the
washer. finally Joins t in the holder,
having picked up ON its way any gas re-
manning in the retort or in the washer.
The air is added in the proportion Of
three of air to one Of the gas already

the German manufacturers. The great

lac is used which body is evaporated at

is afterward used for the purpose of
evaporating the salts. A little care is
found to be necessary to interrupt the
heating before all the sal ammoniac is
volatilized, and thus insure beautiful

Only a Wee Sick Lad.
n the Cincinnati NeVs-Journa1

In a apottery factory here there is a
workman who had one small invalid
child at home. He wrought at his
trade with exemplary fidelity, being al
ways at the shop with the opening Of
the day. He managed, however, to
bear to the bedside of his "wee lad" as
he called him, a flower, bit of ribbon,
or fragment of crimson glass. indeed
anything that would lie out on the
white counterpane and give a color to
the room. He was quiet, unsentimen-
tai man, but never went home at NIGHT
without something that would make the
wan face light up with joy at his return.
he never said to a living soul that he
loved that boy so much. Still he went
on patiently loving him. And by and
Dy he moved that whole shop into real
but unconscious fellowship with him.
Ihe workmen made curious little lars
and cups upon their wheels, and paint
ed diminutive pictures down their sides
before they stuck them in the corners
OF the kiln at burning time. One brought
some fruit in the bulge of his apron and
another engravings in q rude scrap
book. Not one Of them whispered
word, for this solemn thing was not to
be talked about. They put them in the
old mans hat, where he found them, so
he understood all about it; and believe
it or not, cynics, as you will, but it Is q
fact that the wholelpottery full of menIof
rather coarse fibre by nature, grew
quiet as the months drifted, becoming
gentle and kind, and some dropped
swearing as the weary look on the pa
tient fellow workers face told them be-.
yond mistake that the inevitable shadow
was drawing nearer. Every day now
some one did piece of work for him
and put it on the saEded plank to dry

lier. So when the bell tolled and the
little coffin came ont of the lowly door,
right around the corner, out of sight,
there stood one hundred stalwart work.
