Natural Gas in Dwellings.

The necessary danger attending the
use OF natural gas may not be greater
than that encountered in places where
the manufactured article is commonly
employed for purposes Of light and fuel.
but it is certain that since it was utilized
Ill western Pennsylvania and southwest
ern New York moro accidents have re-
suited than can be charged up to arliii-
clal gas the world over Two of the
most serious of these casualties have
taken place in PittSburT, where not long
ago q main exploded, wrccking several
buildings and killing four or live people,
and where, within Il week, the explosion
OF another pipe has resulted in the de-
stuctiOn Of u steamboat and the loss Of
one life.
If natural gas may be utilized in the
homes and the business Of the people
with safety very important problem
will have been solved. Where so en-
ploycd for domestic purposes the econ
! omy OF the household has been reyoll-
tonizcd. The pipes are run into ordi-
nary cooking and heating stoves. as

labor of carrying in coal anh rrroving

them, and ut the same tim" reduces the
expense on account Of tl:r i%ul and light
by more than one-haf. When fire is
wanted in every room in the house a

mand. If the fire becomes too stronr il
may be checked by turning q lever, and
on the other hand by similarly easy
movement every stove in the house may
be made red hot alta moments notice.
The only drawback to all this is the
reflection that ones house is connected

slight defect in the means employed to
control the supply, there is no telling
what might become of the dwellings and
their inmates. If the natural Gas wells
can be controlled and regulated as sue
ccssfully as the reservoirs of the artificial
article are, there appears to be no cX-
cuSc for the dreadful explosions which
have taken place from time to iimc. On
tho other hand, ifthcSc explosions are to
be set down as unavoidable, the natural
gas enterprise becomes dangerous one,
not only to the people who avail them
selves of IFS seeming convcnicnccs, but
to the public nj large, which may be

in the ground, the leaf in its shcat, tho
blood within our veins, the tissues which
overlay our frame. Science detects q
tide of nervous electric force at It's fullest
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and
from 3 to 4 III the afternoon, when
human strength and life arc at their
best, i'll the hours opposite which they
arc ut their lowest, when the sick feel
feebleSt, and when thc dying find re-
lease. Tho hours of lis cbb and flow
are rs well known as the tide Of ocean,
and beyond Il doubt such current
exists i'll lower forms of organic life
All things point to the sun as the royal
source, the moon rs the dispenser and
regulator, of this magnetic life. Adj
miral Fitzroy, founder Of the weather
service of Great Britain, faircSt and most
exact of observers, writes in his weather
book that all the phenomena agree with
the idea of such an electric influence on
the part OF the moon, and farther that
it explains all wrCCOncilol facts in
mctcorology. This being true, il re-
deems from absur,iity the dependence of
mankind for centuries on the aHNvrt& of
the moon for signs of weather, for times
of sowing and rcaping, for weaving of
children and young animals, N short,
the most delicate operations Of nature,
sensitive to influences we duly feel and
lstantly perceive. When all scientific
men agree that, whatever the reason,
certain changes of the weather and Ger
tain changes OF the moon happen to-
gethcr, we have rot far 10 look for 4
code of weather signals available by
land or sea. The old superstition was
that the moon caused the change Of
weather, iu which lies the mistake, lust
as il we believed that the cAutionary
signals of the weather bureau caused
storms. That thcm moon 5 changes agree
with the changes of weather rs with the
tides is u belief on which we want tho
experience of twenty thousand strict
obscrycrs.-N. y MuH anN Express.
