corners of fashionable and busy thor
oughfares playing cheap and wheezy

observant person may detect beneath
the rags of many professional beggars
evidence of abundant warm clothing.

DEVELOPMENT OF GAS.

The Centenary of It's Discovery In Corn
wall Being Celebrated This Year:
Among the many anniversaries which
are being celebrated this year is the
centenary of the invention Of gas as an
illu1ninant. 1t was in 1902 that Will
liam Murdock first lighted up his
humble home at Redruth, in duchy
of Cornwall, by means of coal gas
made in an iron kettle, into which he
inserted rough iron tube. 1t was not
until six years later that the invention
was developed on a large scale, when
Murdoch was employed to establish a
gas lighting apparatus at the great
Soho foundry at Birmingham. In 1903
the Lyceum theater in London was first
lighted by gas, and in 1915 the gas
lamps which had been used to illumi-
nate Piccadilly since 1907 became COM
mon throughout London. It was at
this time, too, that David Melville, of
Newport, R. L., first adapted gas, for
the manufacture of which he had Sc
cured patent in 1906, to the Beaver
Tail lighthouse, and it has since be-
come one of the principal illuminants
used in those watch towers which, in
imitation of the ancient Pharos, are
now scattered all over the globe for
the guidance and protection of ships
and mariners.
It is doubtful, in the opinion of the
New York Tribune, whether hundred
years hence, on the occasion of the BIZ
centenary of the invention of gas, the
latter will still retain the commanding
position which it now occupies as an il
luminant. On every side signs increase
which presage that the age of electric
ity is at hand-that age which is
far more likely to revolutionize the civ
ilization of the world than any of its
predecessors. Gas will probably be
gradually forced into back seat, and
it's use confined to stoves and freplaces,
which find such favor among the small
households of crowded cities. It will
be entitled, however, to the grateful
remembrance of man as a powerful
factor in the development Of his civih-
zation and progress during the past
hundred wears.

A Dogs Sense of Military Honor.

A resident Of West Chester, Pa, is au-
thority for the following dog story -
as it was recited to him by soldier:
Troop F Of the Sixth cavalry owned a
dog which accompanied it on every
trip. At the battle of Wounded Knee
some time ago the animal was aban-
doned and was found in a snow drift
by sergeant of l troop, who took it
away and cared for it, The animal
could not be persuaded to return to it's
former owners and remained with the
sergeant. One day the sergeant was
reduced to the ranks for some breach of
discipline. From that day forth the
dog weuld have nothing whatever to
do with him and took up it's quarters
in another tent. It could never again
be persuaded to return to the sergeant,
evidently considering reduced man far
beneath its notice.

Thirteen Thousand Dollars Paid for =
Hindoo God.
An English gentleman at an auction
sale of East Indian relics paid, accord
ing to the New Orleans Picayune, thir-
teen thousand dollars for the famous
Hindoo god Lingam. Lingam is only a
trifle over foot in height, but he is said
to be worth his weight in diamonds.
The base of the figure is of pure ham
mered gold, and around it are set nine
gems-a diamond, ruby, sapphire,
chrysoteryl, cat's-eye, coral, pearl, hya-
cinthe, garnet, emerald and moonstone.
: The apex of the figure, which is in
the shape of a pyramid, is encircled
with plinth set with small but very
fine diamonds. The pinnacle of the
pyramid is topaz one and ten-six-
teenths of an inch in length and nine
sixteenths of an inch in depth; this is
in the spape of a horseshoe, the center
being a cat's-eye of exceeding brillian-
cy.

A Freak of Lightning.

A man who gets his clothes wet in a
thunderstorm may, take comfort from
the following remarkable tale recently
published in a New York paper: ''Three
men took shelter from thunderstorm
under pollard willow. A flash of
lightning struck the tree and took in
one man. 1t did not injure him in the
least, but threw him down and violent
ly stripped off his clothes, which were
hurled distance of twenty yards. The
explanation given is that the clothes
were stripped from the man by light
ming just as bark is stripped from a
tree. The discharge finds moist pas
sage down between the bark and the
trunk, converting the moisture into
steam and thus blowing off the bark.
It is supposed that the mans clothes
had become drenched by the rain, and
10y similar generation of steam there
had been an explosion severe enough to
rend his things from him and throw
him to the ground. Fortunately for
him his wet clothes had formed better
conductor than his own body

Il is wonderful how much travel y
done by the poor class in Russia Inc
third-class cars are always full. They
are. according to the Cleveland Leader,
more like cattle cars than anything
else. There are no cushions on the
seats, and the people are crowded IN IN
all sorts of ways. They are notsupposed

officials are bound to respect, and saw
one man knocked down. and showed
back into the station just as the car
was about to start because he o1d nos

the guard that the party of peasants
with whom he was travelling had the
ticket and they had already gotten on
the cars, but this did him no good, ana
though he cried and howled he was
held back while the car bore his friends
and his family away. The peasant can
not travel in Russia without pass

At Tamboff saw whole crowd OF
peasants who were about to emigrate TO
another province. Each had his pass
port in his hand and they stood in s1ngls

tickets. It was at this same STATION
that saw my first prison car. Russian
roads have cars especially devoted 70

oners which are taken from here to 81

whence they are put on prison boats
and are carried down the Volga and up
the river Kama to Perm and thence
start on their march to the wilds OF 81

windows, and they are guarded by sol
diers who are ready to shoot any who

RAILRoAD,NG ON THE ICE.
Tracks Laid Every Wintor Across th
Ernvou 81 TaHwrAnoA.

Frozen st. Lawrence.
The communications between the two
shores of the st. Lawrence river at
Montreal are made, as is known, by
means of the Victoria tubular bridge,
constructed some thirty-fve years ago,
which is the largest in the world, the
metallic span being six thousand five
hundred feet long o..
But from this point to the Atlantic,
for distance of one thousand miles,
there is no other bridge and all the rail-
roads established on both sides of the
st. Lawrence have necessarily to cross
it. The company of the railroad that
built it levies a right-of-way toll of ten
dollars per car and eight cents per pas
senger.
To avoid payment of these moneys
the S. E. railroad company had the
idea, some ten years ago, of construct
ing in winter a communication between
the two shores by means of a railroad
established on the ice. Every winter
the work is done over again, and it
amply pays for the outlay. The length
of this ice road is about two miles, be-
tween Hochelaga and Longueil.
The railroad is easily built. The track
leaves the main track parallel to the
shore, and then curves gradually in
such manner as to be perpendicular to
to it, and, then, again, before it strikes
the other shore, it curves anew SO as to
become nearly parallel to the opposite
side, and then it is connected with the
main track on this shore.
