THE MANufAc OF GAS.


a Simple EsSsnation 4 the wav Him.
hainatfng Gas IssArade.
How few people can intelligibly explain
some OF the most ordinary things in
every day life. An official of the c;tv
gas works was heard to,say. not long ago
that II he might judgeby the number of
times he was asked for. information. not
more than two people in ten know
how common illuminating gas is made.
They all seem to understand. he said
that 1t comes out Of soft coal, but thew
are ignorant OF, the processabv which Il l.
extracted. We doSno62nubt this at all.
for it is the common thlngythat we are
apt to overlookin oursearch for infor-
nation.
Now, let US give ou,a simple explana-
ton OF gas making. Break up piece of
6ituminous coal into small fragments and
M the bowl of a clay tobacco pipe with
tnem. Cover the mouth of the bowl
with wet clay and then thoroughly dry
IL. Put the bowl of the pipe into fire
where it will get red hot, and YOU will
soon see yellowish smoke come out of
the stem. and if you touch light to the
smoke 1t will burn brightly, for it is
nothing more or less than the gas from
the coal.
You can purify and collect this gas in
a simple way. Fill a bottle with water
ana turn it upside down in bowl of
water. You know the water will not
run out OF the bottle because the air pres
sure on the water in the bowl will pre-
vent it. Put the end of the pipe stem
under the mouth of the bottle, and the
gas will bubble up through the water into
the bottle, gradually displacing the water,
and II the pipe were large enough to
make great deal Of gas the bottle would
be entirely filed with it.
You have seen the immense quantities
OF coke which they have at the gas
works; that is what is left of the coal
after the gas has been buried out of it.
Coke is carbon, only small part of what
was In the coal having gone off with the
gas. Take the clay covering off your
pipe and you will find the bowl filled
with this coke.
Now, that is precisely the way gas is
made in large quantities at the gas works.
Instead of pipe bowls they use big re-
torts, and these are heated red hot bv
furnace, for the fire must be outside of
the retorts. Heating coal red hot in a
closed retort is different from burning it
in the open air. A large pipe from the
retort carries off the product of the coal.
consisting of steam, tar, air and ammo
MA, as well as gas. The ammonia and
the tar go into tanks, and the gas into
coolers, and then over lime, which takes
up the acids in it into the immense iron
gas holders which you have seen at the
works.
These holders are open at the bottom,
and stand, or rather swing, in tanks of
water, being adjusted by means of
weights. AS the gas comes into them
they rise up out of the water. but the
bottoms are always submerged, SO that
the gas cannot escape. The large gas
pipes, or mains as they are called, con-
meet with the holders and conduct the
gas through the streets to the houses
where it is used. The pressure is given
to the gas by the weight of the iron hold
ers, which are always bearing down ON
the gas they contain.

Opium for the Yellow Fever.

Our Chinese reporter asked DIR. Yong
Tyse Hing, of Pell street, about his ex.
perience with yellow feveEin5 China. In
Kwong Tung, FoosKiena ands Kwong ST. y
lie said, "there were aEfewcas of yellow
fever several years ago. The fever was
called by the natives 'wun biun.' It
never became epidemic, owing to the
peoples habit ofisndkinGlopdum,"
docs the smolzing;ofs opium prevent
or cure yellow fever7''
Certainly it does. Wherever opium
is smoked it destroys>y elfow'fever.'
''But is not the opiuml smoking habit
as dangerous as theSfever2''
''No; it takes at 1easty a, year of con-
slant smoking. to acquire The, habit, as all
old opium smokersfwilla testify. There
might be yellow3feverail, overthe United
States, but the Chinese opium smokers
would not be Affected
DIR. Ii Shi Leon, of; Mott street, said;
''Why, certainly opiums smoking cures
yellow fever. I'hadNwo cousins in Mem
phis during that terrible yellow fever
scourge in 1875, who simpiy their
pipes the moment they had caught the
fever, and got'well in less than twenty
hours. No, there is NO. dangeraof getting

How to Live Long.

Milk is not always admirable as a din
ner drink. especially when fish plays any
part in the menu. Tea or coffee taken
with meat is simply suicidal. These hot
beverages turn the meat into something
resembling leather, and the result inter-
feres sadly with digestion. The man who
desires long life must not give place to
thigh tea" in his daily programme. Of
tea itself it can only be said that it is
harmless if not taken too often or made
too strong. The American lady who
after several calls and cup of tea at
each remarked that she could s'always
worry down another cup" was probably
unaware of the mischief she was doing
herself. No one need totally abstain
from tea if they only take the precaution
to buy it good, not to make it strong. not
to let it infuse long, never to take it
more than twice day and to abjure it
after in the afternoon.
The morning tub Is indispensable to all
who wish to live long and healthy life
1t is true that there have been centena-
rians who have known nothing of this
luxury, but their longevity has been in
spite of that fact, not because of it. The
bath is good, but not too much bath.
Walking is good, but it must not be over
done. Dickens overdid it. Most of us.
however, underdo it, and scarcely walk
enough. Flesh accumulates upon us in
middle age because we do not take sufi-
Gent exercise, and then we give up long
walks because we are stout and conse-
quently lazy, thus reversing the process
of cause and effect. The health suffers
seriously. and way is opened to many
maladies. Cor. London News.

The Hohenzollern .white Lady,.

During the middle ages, a noble lady.
surprisingly beautiful, of the house of
Orlamunde, fell madly in love with 4
prince of the reigning house, and sent
him privately word of her love and an
offer of marriage. The prince would
gladly have married her, but for the fact
that his parents would not consent,
Social intercourse was somewhat re-
strained in those days. He was COM
PEELED to dispatch page to the lady with
an ambiguous message, declining her
offer on the ground that ''four ewes"
stood in their way. The young widow
believed that he referred to her two chill
dren, and promptly put them to death.
notifying him that the obstacle was re-
moved.
A terrible scene ensued between the
prince and his murderess lady love. after
which he fled into solitude and she died
of remorse. Since then her ghost is said
to be condemned to haunt the halls of
the Hohenzollerns, and her appearance
is warning of death to some members
of the family. Aboutlffeeen wears ago.

on account of some reported appearances
OF the White Lady, reached such height
that the kaiser had every one of the 700
rooms in the Schloss thoroughly searched.
IN the hope of finding some clew to the
mystery; but had he succeeded, doubt
whether the people would have given up
their pet superstition. Many are ready
enough to testify to having seen this
pale, white robed apparition before tho
death of the late emperor, and stories
are current of her having shown herself
once again since that time.-Lucy C.

Sketch of the Life at the Great Jurist.
Chief Justice Waite died very suddenly

days, ut insisted upon going TO the SUI

justice was determined 10 go and the doc
