A highly interesting fact has been brought
out by Mr.. o. Thrill, of New York, in some
practical tests in producing electric light by
using illuminating gas for driving gas en-
CINE and a Ferret dynamo. Naturally one
would suppose that the loss due to the double
transformation of energy in producing the
electric light from illuminating gas by this
means would place the cost of the electric
light far above that of gas. On the contrary,
however, Mr. Thrill has found to his surprise
that given amount of gas will produce far
greater illuminating effects when used ~
drive the dynamo than when burned direct.
The gasoline gas is produced by his machine
for 81 per 900 feet The engine, it is found,
consumes four feet Of this gas per sixteen can
die power lamp per hour when driving the
dynamo under full load, making the cost per
lamp two-fifths of a cent per hour, so that
the luxury of the electric light by this means,
instead of being expensive, he finds in reality
to be great economy. Mr.. Thrill explains
the phenomenon by the fact that his gasoline
gas contains so per cent. of air when deliv-
cred at the explosion chamber of the engine,
and he gets the benefit of the expansion Of
this large volume of air by the heat of the
explosion. Philadelphia Record.

The T,p.writer in TeIecraphy.

There is general feeling among telegraph
managers that all dispatches will be received
on the typewriting machine directly from the
wire in the early future, and the day will be
hailed with delight by the business commu-
nity. There is no harder work done in any
newspaper press Office in this city than in the
office of the Associated Press. On account of
the large number of papers to be served with
the news it is necessary tc take thirty copies
of each dispatch. Before the introduction of
the typewriting machines two receiving OPP
orators were necessary on one wire, each
making fifteen or sixteen copies of manifold
by hand. Something had to be done, and the
typewriting machine solved the problem.
Aside from the labor saving feature of the
machine, it pays for itself in a year or less in
the saving of paper, and not the least of the
valuable points i'll its favor is the legibilty
of the copy. Nothing is so pleasant TO bust
ness man as to receive telegram printed in
type.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

An efficient and inexpensive little appara.
tus has been designed to improve the light

not without reason, TO burn with perfeC.

The apparatus consists of a polished brass cr

like straight spout of a kettle; this is filed
with oil lighted and fixed to any burner, 50
that the oil flame mngles with the gas fl2".c,
producing Immediately a re,IIy wonderful
result. Any mineral oil will burn in this
vessel and the cOmmOnest or smallest burner
is available; for instance, say an ordinary
Bray jet, costing one penny, consumes three
feet of gas per hour and gives the light of
three candles; the same jet, provided with
this apparatus and consuming the same guam
tity of gas, will give light of eighteen can
dles.-London Queen.

BEN THOMPSON OF TEXAS.

Polite and Courteous, Yet the Slayer Of
Forty Odd Men.
All over Texas Ben Thompson's note was
negotiable paper, and no man who ever pre-
sented him with bill was treated with any
thing but polite business courtesy.

Tex, and the meeting was not in saloon,
gambling house, not even a hotel. The place
was a quiet, orderly ice cream parlor, and
Ben Thompson and his wife were eating
strawberry cream at table near by to CO.
terie of high school girls, one of them being
daughter of Ex-Governor Ireland, OF Texas.
THOMPSON was a small sized man, yet not
slender. He was elegantly, yet not showily
dressed: his clothes indicated a correct TASTE
a diamond stud and a thread of gold watch
chain comprising all his personal jewelry. He
was handsome man of As, with small, black
mustache and hazel eyes.
Yet this man had record of having killed
thirteen white men and twice that number of
Mexicans and Indians. A few months later
he was himself killed in San Antonio, along
with Kingfisher, in a hand-tO-hand conflict
with two other men in the Vaudeville theatre
He was never known to take All unfair adj
vantage of an enemy, number of his victims
having had the first shot at him. Once IN
store he ordered a man with whom he was en-
gagged in liv"lr dispute to go outside and
pass around the block to the right; he would
pass around to the left, and meet him. They
did So the man blazed away at Thompson
with a shotgun loaded with buckshot, missed,
went into the air at the crack of Ben's re-
volver, and fell a corpse.
And thus with every case of thompson
numerous killings, the preliminaries were al
ways favored with dash of dramatic SEN
sationaliSm.

ice cream bazaar / noticed that she had but
