More Facts About the New Gas.

Some new facts about the new illumi-
mating gas are at hand. The gas is
acetylene, which is known as the lowest of
the hydrocarbons-the lowest in hydrogen
and richest in carbon While it is rccog-
MID as the best Illuminating gas in exist
encc it has heretofore been too costly for
general use. Mr.. Wilson, the discoyerer
of the fact that it could be made very
cheaply simply fusing lime and coal and
then adding water, is now manufactur-
ing the calcium carbide on a large scale
in North Carolina and it will soon be on
the market at a price that will enable
he gas to be sold at five cents per thOus-
and cubic feet. The question has arisen
as to the chemical reactions in the
method of making the gas. When the
lime and coal are fused and water added
to the product the calcium carbide is de-
composed and SO is the water. In the
reconciliation the oxygen seizes upon the
calcium forming calcic oxide Qime) and
the hydrogen unites with the carbon in
the right proportion to form acetylene-
two parts of carbon to two of hydrogen.
All our burners will be too large for
this fine gas. Only one foot an hour will
give an illumination equal to 5O-candle
power, or about as much light as is emit
ted by three ordinary gas flames, with
but one half the heat At the quoted
price thousand cubic feet would last one
thousand hours for one burner. At five
hours per day this consumption would re-
quire 200 days to use up the 1000 feet
of gas-and all for five cents Such a
boon to humanity will be almost inn
measurable. 1t would make every man
his own gas maker and free us forever
from the domination Of the gas monopo,

Cheap, Money and the workingmen.
The other day correspondent noted
the fact that in England and Germany
the labor organizations are among the
staunchest supporters of the gold stand
ard. He expressed surprise that some of
the labor unions in this country had
adopted resolutions In favor of free silver.
If he will investigate the matter closely
he will discover, we believe, that such
resolutions have been passed lately by few
labor organizations. There is reason to
think that the sound money opinion Is
widely popular today among wage earn
ers The reason is obvious, says the Gin
oinnati Times Star. 1t is the same that
controls the English and German work.
ingmen. They see that sound and sta
Bile currency is absolutely essential to,their
welfare.
There is no longer any serious contro-
versy on the propositionEt free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1 woulf bring the silver standard.
Senator Pettigrew, one of the leading
champions Of the free silver cause, admits
that this would be the immediate effect.
Who would be beneflttedY Silver mine
owners would derive more or less profit for
few months at least. Men who have
some thing TO sell and debts to pay might
be advantaged temporarily. Capitalists,
who have been accommodating gold or who
have been careful to insert in their con-
tracts provision for payment In gold,
or who have invested largely in govern
mont bonds, which would still be paid in
the best money, would make large gains.
The man certain to be loser from the
start is the wage Garner. Wages would be
cut in half instantly; that is to say, upon
the workingmen who gets $l4 a week free
coinage would have precisely the same
effect as reduction of wages to 81 a
week, for his S14 would go no farther in
the market than 81 will now go.
If capital desired to enter into n con-
spiracy to crush labor, it could not devise
a scheme better adapted to the purpose
than the proposed debasCment of the peo-

Senator Sherman's strength seems to
be growing as presidential candidate.
There is no question but that he is the
ablest and best equipped man so far offer
ing in the republican party but his age
will be against him. 1t is nevertheless q
significant sign in the political world that
this honest. money advocate should be
brought forward now as u candidate when
he himself says his time came and went
at Chicago in 1880. The significance of
the talk about sherman is that it does
not come from him but from n big faction
in the party that is determined to force
the fight against unlimited silver coinage.

LATHER FOR SHAVING.
philadelphia Record
II is commonly assumed that soap is used In
shaving for the purpose Of softening the hairs
This however, 1t seems, is a mistake. 1t is
used, ON the contrary, to ren6er them hard
dry, stiff and brittle, in which condition they
best yield to the blade. Hair being naturally
oily, were one to shave dry, or with water only,
the razor would either slip over the limp hair
without cutting II, or, entering about half way
bend the hair back and slice It lengthwise all
the while straining ii most painfully at, the
root, and, as razor would this slice and pull,
probably large number of hairs at once, the
pain produced would be Intense. Most shay
ing soap contains free alkali, either potash
or soda, which combines with and so removes,
the oil Of the hair, leaving only the hard fiber,
dry and stiff as may be seen by taking q
solution of carbonate and dipping single
hair into 1t.

The speculative Movement in stocks.

! The Speculative Movement in stocks.
There has been for some time a strong
attempt in New York to create q. a.specula-
| tive boom in stocks. The first advances
about seven weeks age were in France.
Germany promptly reflected the upward
movement While such tightening of
the market is not always sign of re-
newed business prosperity 1t Is correct to
say that we never have an upward move
ment in business that is not preceded by
an advance in the speculative markets.
This is because speculation on the Dull
side is always based on the prospect of
better business From the very nature
of their calling these optimists are the
first to discern and the first to announce
the earliest signs of r, ~ning prosperity.
| So mt present it can be aiken as very
hopeful prospect that the upward move
ment on Wall street exhibits such staying
powers.
In London something very like spec.
ulative fever has set in, especially in con.
nection with African shares, which are
shares in the different stock companies
that are floating African enterprises. In
some of these prices are quoted at so wild
a price as to show premium of 800 per
cent before there has been single dollar
of earnings. That is, ten pound share

scribed in the encyclopedias as the Law

there is another side to the picture which
these people who believe in the future OF
Africa think they see 1t is great coun-
! try in every sense of that word and there
is no discounting the fact that the wealth
