ton, printed on its new lightning Goss
perfecting press. The press is undoubtedly
the most perfect piece of mechanism of its
class on the Pacific coast, and is exactly
like the one now being built by the Goss

that the latter will be little larger. The

Is it better for a town Il
works? Mr.. Bronson Kec
this question In The Forum,

- D~-@O~~
this question in The Forum. M
In Europe it is as common fo
own gas plants as it is for them tS
owners Of water works In Afr1es
Without exception, the result Is favora-
BILE. Eight cities in the United States
own their gas plants, Four Of them are
in Virginia Richmond, Danville, Alex
andria and Charlottesville. The others
are Philadelphia, Bellefontaine, o.;
Wheeling. W. Va. and Henderson, KY.
The prices range from the highest. S1.62
at Alexandria. to the lowest, at Wheel
ing, 75 cents per thousand cubic feet.
The gas works at Wheeling the writer
considers a model of excellence. What
city can do with her own plant is well
shown here. The municipal authorities
bought the gas works Of Wheeling in
1868 for $4,000. Gas was then $3.50 a
thousand From the profits, under city
management. debts were paid and the
works rebuilt with modern improve
ments without taxing the people dollar.
The plant is now worth half million.
The product has been lowered to seventy
five cents per thousand, and the streets,
the markets, school and engine houses,
all the public buildings and the Young
Mems Christian association are lighted
free Of charge.
Yet the Wheeling gas works in 1888
turned into the city treasury net profit
of S27,l The Wheeling rate for gas
is the lowest in the Union 1t is because
the works are out OF debt, and there are
no dividends to pay to stockholders.
With modern discoveries and improve
ments the manufacture of gas is becom-
ing constantly cheaper. The prediction is
made that in few years it can be manu-
factured to sell for 25 cents per thousand.
Then, or even when it comes to be as
low as so cents. it can be used for fuel
the country over. Mr.. Keeler finds
there can be no such thing as competing
gas companies. Customers who do not
like one company, in the nature of
things, cannot change to another, unless
they move their houses Moreover,
gas company never yet was started to
compete honestly with another. The
new company is always founded to
blackmail the old company into purchas-
ing it. just as parallel railway line is
constructed.

Walking Clubs.

How can nature take care Of us If we
never go to see herr She cannot; that is
plain. 1t is thought that is at last be-
ginning to percolate the brains of many
town people. We live and thrive by the
workings Of nature within us. Unless
we go out now and then to sojourn be-
meath thesun and sky, and to be in touch
with mother earth herself, we can have
no long continued well being of soul or
body.
Mindful of this, city and town people
are forming walking clubs They take
what they call cross country walks. A
party Of pleasant acquaintances, whose
days are doomed to be spent behind
desks and within walls. meet at an early
hour of the morning at designated spot
and take a train to a station few miles
beyond city pavemsnts. There they
leave the cars and start on their walk
1t is anywhere from ten to twenty miles
long. Dinner is taken at some pretty
rustic inn, where cream, fresh eggs and
milk are plentiful. Sometimes lunch
is carried along. In every case the cross
country walkers provide abundantly for
inward refreshments.
Men and women both go in the walk
ing parties sometimes, though often
each sex tries it alone. Sundays and
holidays are chosen for the walks usu-
ally. The route is selected beforehand,
sometimes Oh level roads, again in a
billy country. The walkers gain a
knowledge Of scenery and landscape,
and health. gracefulness and good looks
besides.

Thousands of new designs in neck.
laces, brooches, bracelets, rings, pins
and watches are being placed before the
public. made to include one or more
emeralds. The general style for neck
lace or bracelet is to have the emeralds
fairly large, with dozens OF small dia-
monds about them in irregular clusters.
A string Of hearts about the size Of a
dime, of diamonds with quarter-caret
emerald in the center Of each, is one Of
the latest caprices for necklace or
bracelet. The latter is made of fourteen
hearts, and costs $500. Stars are used in
the same manner, also various kinds Of
small flowers.
For rings pearls are used to set off the
emerald, usually setcrosswise or in some
pretty design, Many Of the emeralds
have been cut in the shape OF crescent
or star, while others are finished in
the same way diamonds are, cut, instead
Of the old fashioned oblong shape.
These are used mostly in bracelets, OF
necklaces designed to represent a rib
bon tied in a bow knot.
Black pearls are also in great demand
this fall, but their scarcity and price
will prevent them ever becoming rage
such as the present craze for emeralds.
There are comparatively very few black
pearls in the United States, and il is
always hard to buy good one, even If
the price paid does seem enormous.
They are found mostly in the lower part
Of the Gulf of California, and are sent
direct from there to Europe, to be pre-
pared for the retail dealers and then
shipped back to this country.
The turquois will be used some in
combination with either black or white
pearls aside from its usual popularity
in connection with diamonds. There
are not many new designs, however, for
it which do not include a pearl or an
emerald.
''Rubies, as diamonds, are always
fashionable. - said a gentlemen uptown
who is considered an authority on such
subjects, 'sand the price is considerably
higher than it was a year. yes, three
months ago. They are bought by people
who do not change their jewels as they
do the style Of their bonnets, and will
always bring good market price. Next
to diam -nds and black pearls, they are
considered the best investment that
could be made in precious stones. IN.

stretch out; the distended belly appears
as a great bag. The fish will swallow
another one six or twelve times his own
