What the New I1luminant Does
in Comparison With Other
Gas and Electricity.
A LIGHT THAT MAKES
WELSBACH LOOK DIM
The Gas May Be Transported IL
Tubes and Placed in a
House Anywhere.

Ii the coming OF the millennium means IA
| getting down to first principles in the pro-
ductiou OF any given thing which eniess
luto the uses Of man, then the miilenu,una
must be at hand, so far as the artificisi
production OF light is concerned The ek-
pcTlnleuts 18th the new illuminant, acetyle0o
gas, which have been conducted in the series
or exhibitions given daily at No. 8 ID Seven
teenth street, are well calculated to amaze
scientists and TO dazzle the eyes of investors
III the stocks and the new and wonderful
enterprises.
There are some general proportions to bo
stated about the new illuminant which WIN
gofar toward preparing the minds OF persons
deslrocs OF some knowledge of its proper
ties. for the astonishing results which an
exhibition of its utility reveals First
Acetylene produces a light the softness and
diffusive power or which nobody can COM
prehend who has not seen IL, for there
Is nothing In tue way CT artificial light to
which IL can be compared. Second a small
quantity or the gas goes a long way: Q
moderate sized cylinder such as we SEQ
now and then delivered at drug stores
which use carbonic gas, lasting a good
sized house for months. Third, the cost OF
production is 80 low as to make a COM
parison between IL and the expense OF fur
nishing the gas or electricity to which We
haye been accustomed, seem almost ridio-
ulOus.
WHAT ONE SEES IN ACETYLENE.
When burner is turned on and Acetylene
begins 10 illuminate a room, incandescene
electric light. and city gas at full head, and
City gas with Welsbich burners all take q
back seat. the new gas rises up gracefully
aud with indescribable luster, and in an
instant all the dark corners of a room ali
the corners OF ceiling are aglow with
night The light is SO powerful in its
n frsrt
illuminated bulb of the electric light. IL IL
Is placed between it and the wall.
one OF the wonderful things about IL IN
the purity OF the white OF its flame aud its
undertaking steadiDess. The light seems not
afiected by undue pressure, but it burns
with constancy and freedom from the
sHShtest 1iuctuatiou, so vastly different
from the gas we have been accustomed
to, as to cause surprise as well as ad-
miratiou.

NEW KIND OF SwINDLING.
Bogus Freight Agent Is Very Much
Wanted by the Police.

Bogus Freight Agent Is Very Much
Wanted by the Police.
A colored man, whom the police would
like to know, has been representing himself
as freight agent to several guileless people.
and has collected from them freight charges
on goods which they did not expect. which
were never shipped, and which never came.
Annie Williams, of No. 1884 Fifth street
northwest. and william Williams, of No.
81 street northeast, are two of his VIC
tins, who have complained to the police,
and it is thought that there are others
who have not yet been heard from. The
descriptions given of the sharper are not
consistent, but there is no question that
both people were "conned'' by the same
man.
He Informed Miss Williams that there was
baggage addressed to her and laying at
the freight depot on which the charges were
S1.4O. He got the money, promising to
deliver the stuff within an hour. This he
has not done yet.
= To Mr.. Williams, of E street, he told the
same story and received from him SLAB
AIR. Williams was to receive package and
two boxes, but his Disappointment was so
acute that he called in the consolation of
the police.

1t is evident that some lem. lsnk
man or boy has robbed Henry. the
tailor. Sunday night Will he Mas
out OF his shop, some one entered st a
small window In the rear OF his room
and stole suit OF clothes which lie
had just finished for in. Mc0artv.
and coat and vest which he had lust
cleaned and repaired. Tt lie thief was
evidently not very large as he had en-
tered a very small aperture in the
rear OF the shop. Such being the
case, he has stolen a suit which will
be large enough, as Mr.. McCarty is q
large man. The officers. so far, have
no clue to the thief's identity. He
perhaps belonged to the fakirs' con-
tingent which usually accompanies
circuses. The goods stolen are valued

George Wolfe, the "lIving skeleton"
and son OF John Wolfe OF this city,
severed his connection with the
New Great Syndicate" show COM
pany last Saturday, and left for Chi
cago 10 company with another show
man Sunday evening. They will there
make arrangements to spend the
wiuter in Atlanta. Ga. George
Wolfe has been travelling with this
show for some time as the Giving
skeleton" He Is supposed to be and
doubtless is the leanest man living
today. No one here knew who he
was until he came into the city as he
was not travelling under his real
name. His physical condition is GER
tainIy remarkable and even wonder
full, as 1t does not seem possible for
anyone to exist in his almost fleshless
condition. A large crowd Of his Wei
lington acquaintance were at the
station that evening when he left to
see him start.
