Gas Like Sunlight.

Acetylene gas was last night exhibited
in use at the house of the Rev. Or. Childs.
No. 1905 Connecticut avenue A number
of prominent people came by invitation
to see 1t INTRODUCED into the first private
house in this city. The city gas was first
shown burning nthe oruiIiary fHe-foot
burners and also in tips consuming only
one foot per hour. The larger nights were
turned out and the Acetylene turned on in
the cellar. II soon suppianted the city gas
and burned with n marvellous brIiiiaDcy,
said 10 be flfteen times greater.
Many of the visitors went down into the
cellar and saw the small flask attached
above the meter 1t was about six inches
in diameter and five feet high and would
supply light equal to 3 900 feet of city gas,
thus lasting an ordinary l2-room house

and ship it thence to Washington. In
Washington the carbide will he turned into

steel fIasks. III THIS condition Acetylene
probably forms one of the most concentrated
forms of heat, light and power known and
practicable for human Use
The companies producing the carbide
and distributing 1t as gas are to be called

son, DR.. z. Sewers, Joseph r. johnson and
others being directors. During the evening
lamp post was exhibited, the gas burning
steadily from the base, and some OF those
Interested stated they would soon put in
bids for lighting the city.
The gas was tested last week in a gas log
in Philadelphia and produced a marvellous
amount of heat. While in the flame for light
it only has one-siX teentb the heat per candle
power OF city gas. Per volume ii developed
eight times as much in the gas log, mixed
with air, even more than its theoretical heat.
In a gas engine it only required half the
volume used of city gas, and it is said that
1t will soon be applied to horseiess carriages.
1t certainly seems the most concentrated
form or fuel known and the Navy Depart
ment is anxious to experiment with it
for use in torpedo boats. The gas will be
on exhibition this week every evening at
S19 Seventeenth street northwest. and its
promoters seem to be starting most i'm

LEGATION THIEVES LANDED
-Four Men Arrested for the japanese
Robbery Promptly Confessed,
One Was an Ex-employe and All Are
Young-StoIen Property All Re-
covered by Detectives.

The robbery of the Japanese legation
Sunday night of S25 in money and several
hundred dollars worth OF jewelry, fur
nished the local detective force with an
opportunity to do some quick aud very
effective work, and last night, within
twelve hours after it was reported at
police headquarters. all four burglars
were behind tue bars of the Third precinct
station-heuse and had confessed 10 the
crime. Precinct Detective Barnes, as.
sisted 10y Detectives Weldon aud Horne,
worked up the case.
Harry Steward, formerly employed a q
butler al the legation; Charles Steward,
his brother. and Edmu Fields and
William Mullen, Two Irieuds. committed
the robbery. The older Steward was
discharged from tue legation about three
weeks ago for the THEFT OF $50 from one
OF the attaches, and Knowing the house
so well, he planned tue robbery, with
the other three to AID him.
On tue previous Friday, Steward, as he
admitted to the detectives, was in the
legation and drank quantity of wine, TAX
ing several bottles away with him, but on
tnat occasion his depreiations did not ex-
tend TO the yaiGables.
Sunday night, however. while the inmates
of the legation were on the Third floor of
the house, followed by his three conIpan-
ions, he gained entrance into the side yard
and pried open Il window leading into the
dining room. Once inside his knowledge
OF tne premises made everything easy. In
the room of one OF the secretaries they found
a pocsetbook containing S25, and couple
OF punches of keys. They pocketed the
money and used The keys TO open drawers
and chests in other parts of the house.
Altogether they succeeded i'll getting away
with the S25 in United States money, $50
IN Japanese gold, six pairs of sleeve buttons,
fivesets or studs, five pearl pins, two pocket
books, and two watches.
When the robbery was reported Barnes
at once suspected the discharged butler
and went to see him al No. $50 New York
avenue northwest. he denied at first that
he had any knowledge of the affair, but
finally admitted that, with his brother
and the other two, he did the work. He
was locked up at the station house, and
with the assistance of Weedon and Horne
the other three were soon found
Mullen was employed as an elevator
conductor at the Riggs House, and when
arrested admit ted his guilt at once and pro-
duced = watch and pocketbook containing
So and a Jewel box containing several
sets Of studs, a watch chain and a couple OF
charms and pins. Stewart and Fields were
subsequently arrested, both with some OF
the goods on their persons. and by s o'clock
last night all the men were in custody and all
of the stolen goods recovered.
Harry Steward is seventeen years old
and the Others are each nineteen. They
Go not seem very much worried over their
quick arrest. and said last night that if they
had been caught in the legation they would
have given the Japs n livelier tuSsle than
did China. None OF them were ever arrested
before and the police know very little
about them.

us freedom, or get together and drown

The judges of Armenian courts are nothing
better than brigands and many are too
ignorant to read their own language.
An appeal to them avails naught.
MARTYR NATION.
Miss willard said that the globe had
never seen a martyr nation to compare
with Armenia. Mrs. Gladstone, she said,
would stand at the head of a committee or
English women to help Armenian women
with Lady Henry Somerset as an aide
Miss willard favored the best efforts Of

and her motion tn take up a collection for
