The process Of making gas by the pneu-
matte gas machine, which is now being in
troduced in the suburbs by J. j. Dunnigan,
220 East Seventh street, is simply the fore
ing Of atmospheric air over or through a
body of gasoline SO that it comes in contact
with its vapor, and the combination of these
elements produces the gas, which is then
carried through pipes and conveyed to the
various parts of the building that requires
Illuminating. The air pump which
forces the air into the carburetter
is driven by suitable weight,
which requires to be wound up once or
twice week or as occasion may require.
The economy of this gas will insure its sue
cess, as no artificial light can compare with
it in cheapness, taking into consideration
the size of the light and purity of its daz-
zling brilliancy. This gas costs from so
cents to $i.25 per 1000 feet, while the coal
gas generally in small towns costs from So
to 81. so per 1000 feet. The cost of gaso-
line varies from 16 cents to 25 cents per
gallon; five OF six gallons of gasoline will
make 1000 feet of Illuminating gas. Mr..
Dunnigan will be glad to show the work
ings of the apparatus at his store.

BETTING ON THE WEATHER.
A Man VINO Has challenged Gen.
eral HaBen.


Since the discontinuance of the special
We ather bulletins for the District of 60.
lum bia by order of General Hazeu, Signal
Officer, the people of Washington have had
to depend ON the predictions issued for tho
Middle Atlantic States, and quite often,
when cold, disagreeable weather would be
pred ictod in these bulletins, the weather
at Washington wonld be Just the reverse.
Though, if tho predicted weather struck
any part of the Middle Atlantic States, the
prediction would be claimed as verified.
Captain John L. Hall, of No. 400 Thir-
tcenth street southwe is perhaps one of
the Oldest river men in the District. He
has made careful observation Of the weather
for this city for the past thirty years. and
has the reputation Of the immortal Vennor
for his local predictions, which, in num-
Der of Instances, were very correct. Captain
Hall was found sitting at table in the
dining-room at his homo in South Wash
ington by reporter Of THE CRITIC this
morning, and after the usual greetings had
passed between them the reporter asked
what kind of weather he thought would
attend the unwilling and Inauguration
ceremonies.
young man." replied tho Captain, ~
am afraid you will bring me into notoriety
by giving my opinion of the weather
through the columns of newspaper, and /
would prefer to say nothing"
~ understand that q short time ago you
challenged General Hazen to predict the
weather for this city more accu rately than
you do. Is that true?'
Yes" replied tho Captain; Through
the columns of THE CRITIC / offered TO
bet General Hazen 500 that i could pre-
dict the weather in tho District Of Colum-
bia more accurately than he. am not op-
ulent by any means, but am still willing
10 make that wager
odd General Hazen accept the chal-
lenge ?"
mo; that is, at least, heard nothing
from him."
To-day is quite cloudy; do you think
We will have SNOWY
Yes" responded the Captain I'VE will
have snow before 10 o'clock tonight"
How about the weather up to the 2lst
instant2"
"Well, will tell you. We will not have
much clear or fair weather up to the 18th
of March. We will have great deal of
wet, cloudy weather, with snow, up to that
date. An early spring will follow. Fobru-
airy 81 will not DO altogether a very pleas
ant day, but will be fair enough for all to
enjoy themselves in the great demonstra-
tiop. March will be day long to be re-
membcred. Bad omens are predicted for
that day. 1t will be cold, clustering, damp;
probably rain or snow.
