Canned Gas.

Several days ago the Cleveland gas
company received sample OF the gas
which was recently invented in New
York, and which has been attracting
attention since its invention as being
bottled or canned, and delivered in
that shape. 1t burns steadily and
makes a good light.
The material from which it is made
ID lime and coal dust welded by cleo
trlclty into sort of a dark brownish
porous substance. By throwing it in
to clear water the gas is produced from
it. Experiments are now in progress
In New York to see whether it can be
madel commercially profitable and
whether it can be produced cheaper
than any other gas. The inventors
claim that the material can be pro.
duced at $40 per ton, but there are
others who say that it Will cost at
at least s125 per ton.
At $50 gas could be furnished at
such low rate as to revolutionize the
gas business entirely. The expert
ments are being watched with great
interest, and the result is awaited with
much concern. The whole thing is
80 entirely new that little can be pre-
dlcted as to what will be the out
come.

Wise Sayings.

Nine out of ten people you talk
with have some sort of tale of woe
to tell.
The best sweets, like the greatest
Joys should be slipped, not gulped
down.
Fame is cheap in small town; it Is
30 easy to get your name in the news
papers.
If you have good thing stick to it
until you are certain of something
superior.
The public will always suspect any
institution that is a particle averse to
investigation.
There are few speeches and few
books that would not be improved by
judicious pruning.
So many wicked spiders down town
are regarded as innocent flies by their
women folks at home.
No woman should ever worry over
the loss of man who hadn't the
courage to ask for her.
A woman's idea of perfectly awful
thing is to have visitor call while
she is washing her lair.
A lie is often told without saying a
word, by putting the rotten apples in
the bottom of the basket.
If you don't want to subsist upon
bitter husks of retrospection, don't
buck up against put-up job.
Men who imagine they are
thoroughbreds discover finally that
they are only plain work animals.
Some women talk of owing other
women a call in the same way that
men say they owe some one else a
grudge.
A great many people do not learn
until they are forty-five or fifty that it
is dangerous to become confidential
with people.
It must be very discouraging to a
man to be very gallant to his wife in
public, and have her lcok as if she
wasn't used to it.
Never undertake to satisfy all of
the whims Of your neighborheod,
rather satisfy yourself that you are
doing~right by not meddling; then
you will have more friends.-The
Great West.

The Sentinel says the people of
Eureka met Assemblyman Allen at
the train with carriage on his re-
turn from the legislature and escorted
him to town. In the evening a pub
lie meeting was held, bon6res blazed
and anvils were fired. Speeches were
made by Hon. Thos Wren Assembly
man Allen and others. Nothing is
said about the return of German,
Eureka's other Assemblyman. He

An exchange says: Whenever you
hear man finding fault with a local
paper, open. it up, and ten to one he
hasn't an advertisement t five to
one he never gives it job of work to
do; three to one that he does not take
the paper; two to QUE that if he is a
subscriber he is delinquent; even
odds he never does anything in any
way that will assist the publisher to
run good paper; and forty to one
that if the paper is a good one and

Mr.. Mason, the gentleman who is

of the closest mouthed men in the
world, but he never lets it appear
that way. When a newspaper man
goes to the Mint to gather informa-
ton about the shortage ne inquiries
for Mr.. Mason and is ushered right up

this:
"Mr. Mason, believer.

"What barr"
"The stolen bar"
"Why bless you, my boy, how could

"Oh, yes, that's So"

"But, who are theyP"
II haven't the slightest idea; no one

ayes, I'll go down street and see

Interviewer slides down stairs and
winks significantly when he is asked
about the shortage as he says: II

LOADING AN OCEAN LINER.
Tho Storage Is Something Tremendous

Tho Storage Is Something Tremendous
and Requires Careful Paoiking.
10 watch the loading of grain, either
from an elevator or lighter, into one
OF the mammoth vessels engaged in its
transportation, is to witness one of the
chief operations in the movements Of
the worlds commerce. 1t is carried in
long pipes, with q funnel shaped nova
BILE appendago at the end, which is shift
cd by means Of q rope from one part of
the hold to another, according as the
stream Of grain fills up tho spaces re-
served for it. The grain flows into the
vessel with the noise and velocity of o
torrent and sends dense volume Of
dust and chaff upward, obscuring the
depths beneath and making the men at
tending the stowage below look like
ghosts in the rising mist.
The trimming" Of the grain in the
holds is an important part of its stor-
age, After several thousand bushels
have been streamed into the hold, doz-
en- or more men are delegated to shovel
the downpouring column in between the
vessels beams, n job for which they
are paid at the rate Of cent minute.
In vessels of the Cunard stripe it takes
between $4,000 and $1,000 bushels 70
fill hold, and these vessels average
10000 bushels in the total cargo. Ships
carrying grain alone can take as high as
125, 900 bushels, and when it is consid-
cred that from 1900 to 1000 bushels
can be stored in an hour, every 40 bush
els weighing o ton, an idea can be had
OF the force of the torrent directed into
the vessel.
Large vessels have four or five holds,
and distinction is made in storing the
cargo in them. Grain, from it's compact
and dead weight, is reserved mostly for
the center of the vessel, while cured
provisions arc packed as far forward and
as far aft as possible, for their better
preservation from the heat Of the ships
fires. In some vessels, like the great
Cunerders, which carry passengers as
we'll Nas freight, the heaviest weight is
storedtin the lowest hold; in the tech
nical parlance of the stevedore, "stiffen-
ing" the ship. 1t takes about 1, 500 tons
to "stiffen" great Cunarder, and when
this is done tho lower hold is fastened
and batfened down and work is begun
on the 1ext. Magazine.

Opening of the Public Sch


The public schools opened yesterday
under favorable auspic 80. and the
session gives promise OF being sue
cessful one. There is one drawback,
however, and that ie the lack of
teachers and accommod atoms. The
total enrolment of scholars yesterday
was 1,79e. but 1t is expected that fully
500 more will be added before the week
ia over. The pupils were divided as
follows: Commerce street school. c. e.
KreRloe, principal. 53s; Melrose, j. s.
Hawkins, principal, $50; High school,
] p. Many, principal, 76; Belmont, e.

cipal, 222; Fifth ward colored school,
D. w. Harth, principal, 800. This en-
rollment is slight increase over that
OF the first day of last year. The highest
mem bership in the high school last
season wss II. This year Prof. Mauzy
expects to have at least 100 on the roll.
