Most persons have at times noticed q
not offensive but peculiarly pungent odor
given of from gas stoves in which from
insufficient cir supply the combustion Is
more or less imperfect. This Is acetylene,
C2H2, q poisonous gas especially fatal 10
vegetable life. IL has hitherto been the
practice TO estimate the higher hydrocar-
bons Of coal gas in terms of defiant gas or
ethylene, C3H4, but Professor Vivian
Lewes has shown that in the flame they
arc all resolved into acetylene, and that,
having the highest possible percentage of
carbon, it is the most powerful of illuIni-
nants.
Till recently its preparation In the pure
state has been difficult and costly, but
since il has been found that calcic carbide
when slaked evolved this gas at the rate of
over five 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 about SEQ per ton, it
Is proposed to employ acetylene for en-
riching poor gas either at the works or in
the house Of the consumer or TO burn il in

WHO BISHOP MiLsPAUGH Is.
In an Early Day He Aspired 20 the Bish'
opry of Indiana.

Topeka, Kan. May 29.-Rev. Frank
Il. Millspaugh. who was elected bishop
of Kansas, was born II Nicholas, n.
Y, in 1S4S. In 1857 he removed with
his parents to Fairbault, MINI. He
received his education in the Shattuc
military school and later at the Sea-
bury school of divinity. After three
years in the university at Brainard he
was called to the cathedral parish a.
Omaha and through his personal eff
forts raised 500, 900 and built the Ca
thedral church. Next he was called TO
the pastorate of ST. Pauls, in Mime
apolis, where he remained for eight
years. When first called to Kansas
by Bishop Thomas, he declined 10
come. but year ago last March he ac-
cepted the call and came to Topeka as
dean. When the bishop of Indiana
died Dean Millspaugh's name was
prominently mentioned in connection
with the vacant bishopric. He was
the right hand man of the late Bishop
Thomas and held his confidence TO an
unusual degree. In person the new
bishop is a popular man and intellect
ually strong. His great forte in the
past has been missionary work, and
the diocese Of Kansas needs his youth,
strength and enthusiasm.

Their JOB.
Copyrighted 1885 by Associated Press)
Djulfa, Russia, April 29-The special
correspondent of the Associated Press
who is investigating the situation in
Armenia has furnished the following
correspondence:
The Turkish government is taking
prompt measures to prevent the upris-
ing OF the Armenian revolutionists
next month. All roads leading from
Persia 10 Van have been closed by Or
der of the Turkish government, the
intention being 10 shut off communica-
ton between the revolutionary leaders
in Persia and their agents in Armenia.
One Armenian caravan that tried to
get through 10 Van from Khoe was
seized by Turkish officials.
Within the past week the Turkish
consul at Sautch-Bulsk, in Persia, tried
to cross over into Turkey with an arm
ed escort OF twelve men but he was
turned back by the kurds, who hold
possession of all the roads. At the
same time the Turkish officials in the
towns near the border were chased out
OF the country by the kUrds. They
took refuge in RaVendus, where they
are row. The kurds have warned
them not TO return. The Armenians
hope that the Kurds and Turks will
get into a fight and eXterminate each
other. A reasonable explanation for
this activity of the kurds may be
found in a letter from Shiek Abdel-
Kadr, recently witten TO his brother in
the mountains of Kurdistan. AbdeI-
Kadr announced that the sultan had
appointed him to command the Ham
idieh regiment of regular Kurdist cav
airy, together with a force of regular
Turkish troops, and that there was TO
be a great war during which he and
his troops were 10 capture the Russian
city of Kars.
RELIGIOUS WAR IMMINENT.
Many well informed persons in west
ern Persia believe that Asia Minor is
on the verge of a great religious war
which the sultan of Turkey is forcing
upon the world in order to retain his ,
prestige among the MOhammedans
many of whom have been for some
time grumbling at him for his luke
warmness in the cause Of their religion,
and threatening 10 deprive him of his
caliphate.
AS eight months have passed since
the Sassoun and Moosh massacres and
nothing has been done in consequence
