THE NEW GAS METER.
The Penny.in-tlIc.Slot Machine Is
Successfully Filling n Public Want.

From the New York Journal
The penny-in-the-slot gas meters
have not yet reached New York, but
they have spread within the last three
or four years throughout London. and
have found their way into every large
city in England. The reports of meet
ings of gas companies and of corpora
tions owing gas works that are pub
lished there from day to day show that
the demand for them continues almost
unabated. During the past year alone
one London gas company has sent out
more than 10000 of these meters. a
few months ago the demand was so
very great, and the meter-makers so
little able to meet 1t. that the company
had to discontinue supplies for a while.
Now the demand. Is as great as ever.
Another London company-the South
Metropolitan-has sent out during the
past four years no less than $4,000 of
this class of METER
In Manchester the penny-in-t the slot
meters are being sent out at the rate
of from 800 to 1000 a month, and in
Liverpool. Birmingham and other
northern cities the demand Is equally
great.
These machines. which are really a
boon to small householders, and a cor
responding trial to small dealers in
wood and coal and burning oil. arc
now being made proof against human
guile. The gas companies through long
experience have become wary, indeed
In the new meters French pennies will
no longer work the oracle. The penny
which used to be attached to string
and withdrawn when value had been
received is now irrecoverable, for the
string is cut by concealed blade The
sticky penny, which used to keep the
gas "on." cannot effect fraudulen,
lodgment either. and among the Eng.
lish slot patrons now there Is nothing
for it but dull, prosaic rectitude until
their ingenuity can devise some fresf
devices for beating the machine"

Everybody has heard the old saw, never

"Because-because it's bad taste. It's
ungrateful. and all that sort of thing"
"All what sort of thing?''
why, to look horse in the mouth that

Academy of Music this evening will
include all the wonderful illusions and
Hindoo magic given during his long
run in New York at Days theater last
spring.
One of the most pleasing features or
John w. lsham's "Oriental America
will be the Flower Ballet" wherein
electrical effects will show the glow
worms transient CLEAN, and. as the
more powerful lights burst forth from
their concealing foliage and flowers.
the Serenaders will be revealed in
most enhancing stage picture. The
scenic embellishments are on lavish
scale. and the costumes are ot the
costliest fabrics and most beautiful
make. SO many novelties will be Rre-
Sented that to go into minute detail
would require too much space. "Ori-
entail America" will be the attraction
at the Academy of Music Oct. q and %.
a treat is in store for the patrons of
Davis theater the first three days Of
this week in Robie's Bohemian Bur-
lesuers. which is one of the finest COM

1t has only been before the public for
short time, but the high standard of
excellence of the company. the fine
scenery. the superb electrical and me-
chanical effects and the general make
up of the same, have won laurelS such
as few companies receive through the
run of an entire season.
