THE NEW ILLUMINANT.
An Interesting Exhibition Given by
the AcetyIenc Company.

An Interesting Exhibition Given by
the AcetyIene Company.
An exhibition of acetylene gas, the new
illuminant, Saturday evening at the estab-
lishment Of the Acetylene Gas Company,
Sl9 18th street northwest, was witnessed by
an interested gathering of well-known
Washington business men and others. The
gathering included a number of ladies. The
claims made by the company are that ace
tylene gas is fifteen times as bright as city
gas; that in compressed form it is possible
to supply it to each house; that it can be
used for country houses, lamp posts, lamps,
bicycles. boats and many other purposes;
that it gives out only one-sxth the heat
per candle power of city gas, and that it
can be supplied cheaper than gas or cleo
tricity. The exhibition Saturday evening
was intended to demonstrate these claims,
and those present seemed satisfied that the
claims Were well founded.
First, the entire house was lighted by city
gas. Then acetylene in the same quantity
and with a similar pressure, was turn ed
on. affording an opportunity to the gather
Ing to make direct comparison of the two
illuminantS. 1t was shown that under the
light of acetylene gas distinctions between
the most delicate shades of colors could be
readily made from a distance and also that
the light is all that is needed in photog-
raphy.
Models of street lamp posts and torches
for acetylene gas. the small and apparently
frail tanks connected with the same being
capable of containing gas sufficient to burn
continuously for several days, We're exhib-
tied.
1t is announced that the acetylene gas
will be on sale in this city within two
months. Two companies are now in pro-
cess of organization, one to manufac; IRE
carbide at some suitable place in the coal
regions, and the other to establish IN this
city a plant to generate the gas. compress
it into cylirders and manage the sale of

What To Do With the Feed.

The Western Kansas farmer has an
abundance of feed fer stock, but he lacks
the required number of stock to consume
the abundance. Many farmers were
obliged to sell their Surplus cattle during
the poor crop years. and they have been
unable to replenish their herds. But
this condition among farmers is not con-
fined to the western. part of the State.
The farmers in the eastern portion of the
State find themselves short of cattle and
The worst feature Of the condition is not
in the short number Of cattle and hogs.
but in the probable low price of corr
for the new crop. IL the farmer cOuli
feed it. he would do well, but many
farmers will be obliged to sell their corn
at low figures to obtain necessary money
The corn crop will be very large, and
much of it will be shipped out of the
state, to some Of the drOuth strokes,
countries.
People who have money are taking
advantage of the big corn and feed crop,
and they are buying up cattle. The
Kansas City Journal of Saturday says:
sFrom the way stOcker and feeder
cattle are going to the country there will
be no shortage in the number of cattle
coming to market next spring. 1t LOOKS
as if everybody wanted to feed this year
and the stocker and feeder sales at Tx
Yards now constitute about half the
business.

KANSAS NEXT.

The Northwest had its boom. Okla
bona has doomed Texas is always in a
period of boom or booming. These
boom waves 90 not follow along certain
lines continuously. They change their
course. 1t will be Kansas next to feel
the force Of tie migratory waves
The great northwest States few years
ago reaped Is rich harvest from the
migration of floating population, and
many of these people left Kansas for the
FL Dorado of the West. Oklahoma
followed suit. but the attractions no
Longer appear 20 induce further emigra-
ton to those sections. No new country
can AT once develop its resources snffi-
Gently to provide for the excessive influx
of population that always follows the
irresistible emigration waves. There
must be an adjustment to the conditions,
and in this process there is receding, q
lowing back.
In the development of the western
country there will always be an infix and
Il refluX to emigration movements, for
various reasons, other than the one we
have stated. This will be the condition
of the west until the complete develop
ment is had.
Said gentleman TO the writer the
other day: ''What is the population of
your county to-day" 'What was the
population of your county during its
period of greatest prOsperity?' Answer
ing correctly and TO this he replied:
-Well, | am glad our country never
doomed"
OF course the instability of the popu-
latiOn in new country is always at
tribnted to a boom. The boom would be
al. right and could sustain itself if the
proper conditions could he met i'm
mediately for keeping it up. As a
general thing the boom works at the
wrong end in its process of growth. l,
generally begins at the big end.
The thing will be reversed this time
For several years the people of Western
Kansas have been working at the littls
end of the horn. Those whO have re.
NAMED in the country and those WHIT
cOuld not get away have been working
at this small end and have this yeal

big end is in sight; and it is full and
