Acetylene VIII Greatly Improve the
Light Giving Power of Coal Gas.
Most persons have at times noticed
a not offensive but pungent oder given
off from gas stoves in which. from
insufficient air supply, the combustion
is more or less imperfect, says the
Lancet. This is acetylele, a poisonous
gas especially fatal 70 vegetable life.
1t has hitherto been the practice to
estimate the higher hydrocarbons Of
coal gas in terms OF defiant gas, or
ethylene, but Prof, Vivian Lewes has
shown that in the flame they are oil
resolved into ace+yleac, and that, hav-
ing the highest percentage of carbon
1t is the most powerful of illuminants-
Till recently, its preparation in the
pure state has been difficult and
costly, but since it has been found
that calcic carbide, when slaked,
evolved this gas at the rare of over
hve cubic feet per pound, and that
by heating together chalk and carbon
of any kind in the electric furnace,
the carbide is produced at a cost OF

employ acetylene for enriching DOOR

specially constructed lamps. If its
poisonous character be understood, its

fcient safeguard.
In this respect it contrasts favor
ably with carbon monoxide. the most
poisonous constituent of coal gas, and
product of incomplete combustion,
which is quite inodorous. The cost OF
acetylene would probably be about
shillings per LOCO cubic feet, but it's
illuminating power is 24O candles or
fifteen times greater than the gas at
present supplied to London. Still, the
tendency to deposition in the form OF
SCOT of the excess of carbon which
may possibly escape combustion, Is an
almost insuperable objection to all
processes for employing those very
high hydrocarbons, and it would per-
haps be better to seek more Light

as she has a warm admiration for the

brance of many American friends.
But, alas, she IS slowly recovering
from very severe illness, which ne
ceSSitated a winter at DavOS PlatZ last
year, and although she is gradually
regaining her health, a repetition of
the cure is strongly advocated. How

SWISS WATCH SCHOOLS.
instruction Pursued by n Scholar in
These Unique Institutions.

These Unique Institutions.
The famous Swiss watch schools are
said to be the most exacting industri-
al institutions in the world. Their
methods, which are doubtless the Sc
cret of their success, will be found
very curious and interesting. In one
Of the. most celebrated institutions in
Geneva, for example, a boy must first
of all be at least fourteen years of age
in order to enter. After being admit
ted, the student is first introduced to
a wood-turning lathe and put to work
at turning tool handles.
This exercise lasts for several
weeks, according to the beginners ap-
titude. This is followed by exercises
in fling and shaping screw drivers
and small tools. In this way he learns
to make for himself fairly complete
set or tools. He next undertakes to
make a large wooden pattern of
watch from perhaps a foot in dame
ter, and after learning how this frame
is to be shaped he is given a ready cut
one of brass of the ordinary size, in
which he is taught to drill holes for
the wheels and screws. Throughout
this instruction the master stands
over the pupil directing him with the
greatest care.
The pupil is next taught to finish
the frame so that it will be ready to
receive the wheels. He is then in
to make fine tools and to be-
come expert in handling them. This
the instruction in the first
room and the Young matchmaker
next passes to the department where
he is taught to fit the stem-winddng
parts and to do fine cutting and filing
by hand. Later on he learns to make
the more complex watches, which will
strike the hour, minute, etc, and the
other delicate mechanisms for which
the Swiss are famous.
