A Wonderful Little Machine that Furnishes
Light at 0ne-Third the Cost of Coal Gas.

There is now on exhibition at No. rs South
Pennsylvania street a wonderful little machine
Cor the generation of gas from gasoline. This
machine, known as the Globe Gas Generator, is
Che invention of F. Van Kannel, of Cincinnati.
Nr. L. D.. Railsback, the agent here, takes pleas
nre in exhibiting it to all who call, and the Wis
itors are numerous. It differs from other at
tempts at making gas from gasoline, belong.
ing TO the class known as caloric or heat ma.
chimes, and is absolutely safe. These machines
the one operated by Mr.. Railsback runs l25
burners of l6-candle power, a cleaner and bright
or blaze than ordinary gas, is no larger than an
ordinary water-cooler-are made in all sizes.
from those for %. burners to those capable of
running 10, 600 burners. 1t will readily be seen
that they can not only be operated in dwellings,
store-rooms, halls and opera houses, but furnish
light to cities of s, 900 or 10, 200 people. The ma.
chine is perfectly automatic, and wholly without
danger, and where there are a number of con-
Sumers, meters can be attached the same as in
ordinary gas. The cost of supplying the gas,
even in the small machines, is exceedingly low.
the power being no more than a cent and a half
IN hour, while the brilliant light can be fur
nished at 70 cents per thousand feet. The best
feature, and the one that guarantees absolute
safety, is that there can never be an accumula-
ton of gas of more Tin the machine shown than
. quarter of a foot at a time.

Men Who in the Matter of Toughnsss

Nc1ica'l Letter in tho Boston Herald
The other day an old fellow named lose
Onofre Ojeda died over in a town of the
State OF Jalisco, aged l15 years. He had
been married twice. and, only year ago,
thought seriously Of third wife, when
death came along TO stop his matrimonial
schemes. Some time ago an old fellow
was living at San Miguel de Allende. aged
1856 years, man still vigorous. The re-
cords OF the parish church confirmed his
claims TO great age. Not long ago.
down IN the pretty little tropical village
Of Orizaba, there died an old woman aged
40 yeare, and a few months ago n woman
named Martina Riviera died here at the
age Of 100 years, a fact thoroughly at
tested. The Indians have prOverb that
their hair is black when that OF the SPAN
lard Is growing gray. A local paper
noted the other day the case Of the Indian
Juan Santiago, WHO died in 1874, at the age
OF l43 years. This old chap lett two
dependent grandchildren, bOtn aged men.
whose years were respectively III aud
100 years. The grandfather married, as
the Indians do, very young, and 10 is
not surprising that he should have left
descendants who were themselves centen-
aTians.
The secret Of this extraordinary
longevity among the indians is their
simple diet and regular habits They
themselves say that when an Indian goes
into service ana eats the food OF the white
man the Indians teeth begin TO decay
Their perpetual grinding on tortillas
keeps their teeth white and the lime In
the tOrtilla makes teeth bone.

When a reporter made visit to the

the engine had stopped until the delayed
iron for the stairway OF the interior
should arrive. Part way up on the in
terror the workmeh we're quietly insert

few stray visitors were wandering about
the grounds picking up imaginary cap

ing the monument the reporter found Ed
ward Wayson, the elevator man who con-
Quoted the monument elevator
from the first day work
was resumed until tho compile

as carpenter, but was given charge OF
the elevator because OF his carefulness
and strict attention to orders.
he is now at work constructing the
platform, which is TO surround the base
OF the monument roof from which the
lightning rod tips Will be placed in posi-
ton. With his many loads of visitors
Wayson has had variety OF experiences,
Rrd had opportunities Of seeing different
phases Of human nature. In answer 10
question by the reporter on the subject

gers have been ladies, and what impress.
sed me most was that they showed less
timidity In making the ascent than men.
You wouldn't think that. It's fact

showed fear the elevator WAS at once

orders. But, 40 ] said, we have had 10
