OSy@enated OIL Gas.

DIR. ThCrne has carried out series of
experiments with view of testing the
advantages of the Tathem patent for the
manufacture of All oil gas of very high
Illuminating power. Mr.. Valon has
shown at Ralnsgate that oxygen may be
used with advantage for the publication
OF coal gas, and that he found that in
his process the addition of oxygen to the
gas caused an increase in the illuminat-
ing power. The Same is now found to
be the case when oxygen is added to oil
gas, and it has been shown that as much
as 80 per cent. of oxygen can be added to
the oil gas without any risk of forming
AZ explosive mixture. The process at
present used consists in first heating
American petroleum to moderate tenn
perature in an iron retort, and then add
Ing to the gases and vapors produced
about 20 per cent. of oxygen, which pre-
vents the subsequent condensation Of the
vapors and at the same time enor.
| mously increases the illuminating power
The necessary plant is of very simple
description, and, as far as one can judge
from the experiments which have been
| carried out, there seems every ground
for believing that the process is one
which will be found to work we'll on 6
large scale and be capable of producing
Ill illuminating gas of high intensity al
comparatively cheap rate.-Manufact

SEEKING A CONSUMPTION CURE.
Latest Theories and Discoveries of Med
fcal Science.

ical Science.
At the late medical congress in Berlin
Professor Koch, Il celebrated German
physician, read a paper stating that he
had found a chemical which rendered
guinea pigs impervious to tuberculosis,
and that he had been experimenting for
year past. On this DIR. Grancher, Of
Paris, read paper before the Academy
Of Science in Paris, announcing that he
and an associate in the profession have
been experimenting for five years past,
with the same end in view, on rabbits.
To New York Herald reporter DR..
Grancher gave the following as the re-
suit of the experiments so far:
1--WE have inoculated rabbits with the
bacilli tuberculosis in quantity sufficient
to make a fatal result a certainty. Then,
with our treatment-which, of course,
we must keep secret until we are as
sured of its value--we have kept those
rabbits alive from 200 to 800 days. On
examining them after death we have
found the spleen small and liver healthy,
without any trace of tubercular bacilli.
Rabbits which we have inoculated with
an exactly similar quantity of microbes,
and which we have not treated, have
died within a few days of the inocula-
tion with all the symptoms Of injected
disease.
1.-TWO hundred days in the life Of a
rabbit would represent several years in
the existence of man, as you suggest;
but we are not content with analogies;
we want facts scientifically demonstrated
beyond all possibility of controversion.
On that account we have taken the pre-
caution of injecting the maximum
amount of baeilli, injecting it, further
more, into tho veins of the ear, whence
it is certain to at once enter into the
whole system.
DIR. Grancher expects to soon expert
ment with monkeys, and, if this sue
ceeds, to apply the tests to human
beings.

A CHILD OF SEVEN.

Sweeter far than all things heard,

Sounds of woods at shutdown stirred,

Wind in warm, warm weather;
One thing yet there Is, that none
Hearing ere its chimes be done,
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun
Hoped in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong, and loud and light,
Very round and very light,
Heard from mornings rosiest height
Where the soul of all delight
Fills a child's clear laughter.

Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours so blithe in tones so bold
Az the radiant mouth of gold,
Here that rings forth heaven.

Might be half as sweet as when

The Bureau Of Highways and Sewers of the

several informations, and had number of the
offenders fined. Before Alderman Reilly yes

up the German Savings Bank at the corner of
Wood street and Sixth avenue. was fined for
allowing dirt and refuse to lie on the sidewalk
George A. Cochrane, another contractor who is
putting up the National Bank of Commerce on
the opposite corner. was fined for the same
on Diamond street. and John Holman, of 638
Smithfield street, was fined for sweeping refuse
on the sidewalk in front of his place.
Alderman McKenna will hear a number of
similar cases to-day-against Thomas Rife, for
obsrructing First avenue; John Shriner for the
same ofense on the same street, and Alexander
Beggs for the same on First avenue, West
street and Liberty street.
Alderman Reilly will also hear a case against
X Miller to-day. who is charged with opening
the sidewalk at No. 81 franklin street without
permit

house OF II. Kleber & Bro. than in anyone
else. An instrument coming from Klebers'
store, be it Steinway. Conover, Gabler or

is accepted as good and reliable, for the
opinion of Mr.. Kleber is looked upon as
final and conclusive. Hundreds of people
have made the remark: "Oh, wish 1 had
called on you first and bought an instru-

bers to take the piano or organ which they
bought elsewhere off their hands and ex-
change for the superior ones at the latter
place. Klebers' prices are S25 to $50 lower
