The traffic department of the exposition
has been taking time by the forelock in
seeking the views and intentions of the
traffic managers of steamship lines and
railroads regarding the rates which it is
proposed to establish for exhibits. This is
a very important matter, and one regard
ing which there has been quite flood of
inquiries from intending exhibitors, for
eign as we'll as domestic. No understand
ing has yet been reached which will war
rant the foreign department in affording
definite information to those who are so
anxiously awaiting it, but it is to be hoped
that the various transportation companies
concerned will avoid dog in the manger"
policy, and manifest instead a spirit of lib
erality in keeping with the enthusiasm
that has been displayed by other CONNER
cial bodies 1t is time, moreover, that
something definite should be heard from
the various American railroad associations
regarding the rates for passenger traffic
during and preliminary to the event.
This matter has already been scheduled
for consideration at two or three meetings
of the Western Passenger association, but,
owing to the number of questions which
took precedence Of it on the programme, it
has not so far been reached.
Among exhibitors there seems to be a
general opinion that whatever special rates
may eventually be granted, should not be
made to apply simply to the period durng
which the exposition is opened, but should
take effect some time before, in order that
they may be awaited of by the great num-
bers of people who will come here in ad-
vance with exhibits and on other business
connected with the enterprise. This sug-
/ CreSf ion seems fair and sonalla If rho

How to Make Gas.

To make coal gas is very easy. Most
schoolboys know how to do it at a few
minutes notice. Here is the process which
| tried IA hundred times or more before
was ten years old:
Get little bit of bituminous coal-as
much as the size of a walnut will answer
Pound it small, almost into dust, with a
hammer or cobblestone. Take an ordinary
tobacco pipe lone with long stem is pref
erable) and fill it with the pounded coal,
pressing it pretty closely with your thum b
i should nave said nearly fill it. On the
top press down some tough clay, reduced
to the consistency of putty by being tenn.
pered with a little water. Then insert the
pipe, filled with coal and closely covered
with the tenacious clay, carefully between
the bars Of the CRATE, SO that the clay on
the top of the bowl may not be disturbed.
IL a minute or two the heat of the fire
evolves carburetted hydrogen gas from the
coal in the pipe.
If the covering be compact and complete
the gas flows out of the long stem of the
pipe, which projects out of the fire, and you
can Immediately see and smell it.
The smell is that of escaped gas-which is
so unpleasant and unwholesome when per-
ceived in a room-and the appearance is
that of thick smoke. Then apply a
lighted match to this vapor which, being
infammabe, instantly is all ahame-burn-
ing brightly until all the coal in the bowl
of the pipe has parted with it's gas. When
this is done there is an end of the flame
Take the pipe out of the fire, remove the
clay cover of the bowl, and the residuum
remaining therein is coke!
Now, this is the distillation of gas from

ted to processes which purify it, thereby
producing a clearer and brighter light when
burning. What is left after making the
gas has a commercial value.-New York

The Prince Got the Matches.

In the year 1889 Prince William, now
emperor of Germany, stayed for sLor,
while at the Hotel Crown Prince, at Zehden
lex, waiting for train to take him back
to Berlin. At about the time when he was
announced to leave the hotel for the sta
ton he heard terrible rumpus in the next
room, and the noise becoming too pro
nounced he opened the connecting door t.
see what it was all about. He found the
old hOusekoeper in the midst of numerous
laundry articles, which she was kicking
about the room in great rage, exclaiming
These husses of girls are hanging their
heads out of the windows all the afternoon
to watch the princes departure, while

a thing to be found. What has become oil

Then, catching sight of the prince, whom
she did not know in his hunting suit, she
walked boldly up to him and said: "Sonny

room and returned with a matchbox.-St

A PROPOSED FENCE IN ELEVENTH-4VE.

The Adermen's Committee Railroads.&c.. Nor
gam chairman, and Messrs. Brown. Terrell and llar-
ris-gave a public hearing yesterday relating to a
resolution offered by Alderman Roche on Tuesday, re-
curing the New-YOrk Central Railroad Company TO
put high fence on either side Of it's tracks in Elev-
enthave. below Sixieth-st The West Side Citizens
Association, which opposes the proposition, was rep
resented by ex-Congressman John Quinn, William
Mabbett and nine other citizens. John NJ. TOucey,
general manager of the railroad company, who was
present look after its interests said that he desired
10 be informed how the public regarded the measure.
The general drift Of sentiment expressed yesterday
was against the Enclosure. Mr.. Quinn declared that
il it was erected IL would be torn down. Vlce-Presi'
dent Noonan and other members of the Board, incul
Ing Aldermen Ryder Duffy and John Morris, opposed
the resolution and said that they would never vote
for IL. One speaker said that the fence would keep
people from escaping from before the locomotives and
more of them would be killed.
Chairman Morgan contended that the Common Coun-
ell did not possess authority to compel the railroad
company to build the fence. at least not until the
companys present contract with the city had expired,
which would be in 1896. Mr. Mabbctt of the citizens
committee denied the correctness of Mr.. Morgans
clusions and wOrdy scrap" between the two cham.
pIons Of the opposing theories followed. Mr.. Harris
said that he had voted cOnscen,iousy against the
ave. but he regarded the fence project ridiculous.
Je should therefore oppose 1t in the Board. II is
eypected that the committee Will report against the
scheme Tuesday next.
