THE FIRST USE OF GAS.
The Honor of Its Introduction Belongs
to william Murdoch.


Great was the amazement OF al
Europe when, at about the close of
the last century, William Murdoch
discovered that gas could be used for
illuminating purposes. So little was
the invention understood by those
who had not seen it in use that even
the great and wise men (?) of the
British parliament laughed at the
idea. GLOW can there be a light
without q wick ?" said one member of
that august body with wink and a
knowing nod. Even the great Sir
Humphrey Davy ridiculed the idea Of
lighting towns and cities with gas.
He one day asked Murdoch: "Do you
mean to use the dome of ST. Paurs
for your gas meter" Sir Walter
Scott also made merry of the gas
idea and of the coming attempt to
illuminate London with smoke from
a tar factory" When the house of
commons was finally lighted with the
new illuminant the architect and GUS
todian of the building, who imagined
that the gas ran as fire through the
pipes, insisted that they be removed
several inches from the wall to pro-
vent the building from taking fire!
Several distinguished members were
also observed carefully touching the
pipes with their gloved fingers and
then smelling of them to see if they
could detect the odor of burnt leather.
The first shop in London lighted by
gas was one of which Mr.. Acker-
man, q German, was the proprietor.
This shop was on the Strand, and the
date was 1879. One OF the ladies of
rank who often visited the Alderman
shop was so delighted with the
brilliancy Of gas Jet on one of the
counters that she requested the pro-
prietOr to let her take it homo for
the evening, promising to return it
safe and sound on the morrow.
Although many lay claim to the
honor of being the first to introduce
gas for practical purposes, all the
glory there is in it should be ac-
corded to Murdoch, who was, no
doubt, the original discoverer of the
art

Journeys of Explorers in Thae little
knows Country.
Captain Bower, the Thibetan OK
plorer, has arrived in London with
mass of valuable information con-

which he has collected primarily for
the benefit OF the Indian government
In the course OF fifteen months of
travel across the widest part OF the
country he learned many curious and
interesting facts about the inhabi-
tants His journey was made during
1891 and 1892, nnd his route was al
most due west to east, starting from
Leh or LOdak and crossing the track
of some other explorers who had ira
versed the country from north to
south. He crossed, among others,
the route followed by NJ. Bonvalot,
the French explorer, and his compan-
ion, Prince Henry Of Orleans, but,
like all other travellers in recent
times, he found it impossible to enter
Lha5sa His nearest point was about
l5) miles from the holy city. The
priests are practically supreme in the
country, but nowhere did he meet
with hostile treatment from the
natives. The Sikkim war has had a
wholesome effect. and the En- glishman
travelling in Tibet is now in no dam
ger. Some idea of the difiiculties and
hardships OF the journey may be
gathered from the fact nat much of
the road was from fifteen to eighteen
thousand feet above the level of the
sea. and that for weeks together he
and his companions did not meet "a
