where it automatically stores itself in a liquid form, reducing it's volume in the transformation from gas to liquid 400 times.
 The cost of this carbide, as produced at present, Is said to be $20 per ton, which will enable acetylene gas to compete with city gas at 30 cents per 1000 feet. AS stored in these tanks, it is easily applied to buildings without the use of street mains or any outside appliances; the process being in houses where gas pipes are already introduced to detach the city gas pipe at the meter and attach tank of acetylene gas to the house pipes, the pl assure on these pipes being less than that of the city gas The only further change required is to reduce the size of the irners, This gas leaves no deposit in the pipes, and can be subjected to temperature ranging from 100 degrees be- low zero to 600 degrees Fahrenheit W th- out changing its quality. When thus equipped a cylinder. 6 feet long and inches in diameter will supply an ordina- " house for three months.
 Acetylene gas has a peculiar pungent odor, which enables any leakages to be readily detected, and while it s impossi, to explode 1t by the addition of large amounts of air, when exploded its eXpan- sion is one-fourth that of city gas It is particularly adapted for both city and su hurban lighting, and the rights to manu- fracture and sell have been purchased, after a thorough investigation, by some of the leading gas corporations of the United States.

Justice Field.


 "Once year the story goes out says a Washington correspondent of the be-Democrat, that MT. Justice Field is going to retire. As regularly the se- nior associate justice announces that he has no idea of doing any such thing. A justice of the United States supreme court, who has served ten years and who has reached the age of 70 may retire on full pay. MT. Justice Field has serv- ed thirty-three years, and in few months he will be 80 years old For ten years he has been entitled to the benefit of the retiring act Why hasn't he taken advantage of it? Well, he comes of the toughest of Connecticut stock, and the habit of work is strong upon him. He enjoys the labor of the bench. There is another reason for the tenacity with which the justice holds on, if the gossip O. the court circle may be considered In one year more MT. Justice Field will take his place in the history of the court as the justice who sat upon the bench longer than any other associate justice. MT. Justice Story of Massachusetts sat thir ty-four years. In two years more MT. Justice Field will have sat longer than any chief justice in the history of the court. Chief Justice Marshall sat thirty five years. Mr Justice Field proposes to pull out the longevity peg and stick it in at higher hold before he retireS un- less the greater Judge overrules. It is the belief of the circle that the venerable father of the court will attain his ambi- tion Tn the thirty-three years of his ser vice Mir Justice Field has seen four chief justices and twenty-three associate jus tices on the bench What a span this means will be better understood when it is stated that since the foundation of the court in 17S9 there have been only eight chief justices. The fifty-first associate justice MT. Peckham, took his seat few days ago."

The Taouist Religion.

HarperS weekly.
 The ceremonies so often observed on occasions of death all have their origin in the demonology of the Taouists. Pa- per clothes, paper palaces, paper pipes and paper money are burnt when man dies to provide the soul of the dead with means of bribing it's way through the devils kingdom to it's rest, and the clothes burned are often patterned after high officials gowns in order to impress more favorably the spirits encountered on the mysterious journey.
 Taouist priests are called to consult the soul of the departed to ascertain it's wishes. They discover the locality for burial and indicate all details of this last service to the dead.
 The Shanghai railroad met It's doom from this source. The priest informed the people that the rumbling noise of the cars and the steam engine were distaste- mounds along it's course To appease ists bought the road, with its equipments, entire plant under sheds at Shanghai. Thus it is seen that this religion stands in the way of all innovations in that old country, and the first thing necessary in order to introduce railroads into China is to dethrone the priests and infuse a little common sense into the people.
 During the prevalence of the great famine in northwestern China in 1S74-S there was an unusual flood in the valley of the Yang-tse- Kiang. The priests en- deavored to solve the mystery of this uneven distribution of rain. The censure fell upon the royal household at Pekin.

Wanted His Cakes Plain.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
 A rural visitor at a Fourth avenue restaurant the other day had his first experience with waffles. He had stum- bled upon them somehow in his bill of fare and semed to be overjoyed with the flavor of the novel edible. So great was his power of waffle consumption that he kept his waiter at a lively pace between his table and the kitchen. Even then the waffies didn't come fast enough to keep up with his appetite and he made this helpful suggestion to the waiter: Say, mister, bring along them cakes little faster, can't you? They're powerful good eatin an I ain't goin' to stop till I get plum full. Tell that feller out there he needn't stop to put that printin' on em- jus send 'em in plain"

".She Doesn't Know Yet"

Vossiche Zeitung.
 A neat little story is reported to us from Thuringia. Last autumn woma0 from the village of Treben went out into the fields to gather turnips. She was &C., companied part of the way by her little son, aged 6, who was going to school. Whilst busy among the turnips the wom- an was taken i'll and quickly returned home, where she gave birth to little girl When the boy came back from school he met his father in the lobby, who gave him a large slice of bread and but ter and told him that he had a little sis ter. Beaming with delight, the little fel- low went to his aunt, who lives in the village, and told her of the joyful event. "How pleased your mother must have been," observed the aunt.
 "Oh" said the boy, "she doesn't know yet; she is busy in the field digging up

Divorces Increasing in France.

LOnuOn llllSS
 French legal statistics for 1892, which were recently issued, show a continued increase in the number of divorces and a decrease in judicial separations. While in 1885 there were 4132 divorces there were 7035 in 1892. In 1909 of the latter cases the wife was the applicant and in 321O the husband The duration of mar riage has not the effect which might have been anticipated In reducing the number of applications, for in S703 cases the mar riage had lasted from five to ten years and in 22S5 from ten to twenty, against 2585 cases of under five years. There were children in 41S2 cases and none In 321S. The applications for judicial sepa- rations in 1892 numbered 2094 and 1897 were granted.

 One day while the builder was out a traveller called to see him. "Is Mir. Smart in?" he asked the clerk.

Those Yale students who disturbed a
Bryan meeting because Bryan made
statements which were calculated to
excite their anger, were in very dis
graceful business, but the college stu
dents of the presnnt time seem TO think
they are privileged to raise disturb
ance at any time. They disgraced
themselves, and the party with which
they affiliate, and earned the condem-
nation of every true Republican. They
are not unlike few Bryan
supporters in Perrysburg who seem to
take pleasure in making silly remarks
concerning the Mckinley club when
eyer they appear on parade, but as such
actions always come from the ignorant
and depraved they are unworthy of
notice.

"By the way, is anyone running
against Hon. j. II. Southard for Con-
gress in the Ninth district2" asked q
Wood county farmer few days since.
We replied that there was person by
the name OF Brophy, who was supposed
to be running against Southard over in
Toledo. swell, thought it was only
in some other part of the district, be-
cause Wood county seems TO be prac-
tically solid for Southard," our friend
replied. The statement OF our farmer
friend contains much truth. Mr..
Southland has proven himself a
friend OF Perrysburg and Wood county.
He is the first to make fight for the
preservation of old Fort Meigs and the
work he has commenced will be taken
up on his return TO Congress and
pushed TO satisfactory issue. 1t is
true that Wood county will not waste
any votes on Steve Brophy.
