Charges Against the Gas.
And there is no danger is a quota
tion from flaming advertisement about
acei ylenc gas published in the Star ON
Wednesday, December 4, by the Acetylene
and Carbide companies of this city, which
have been specializing in stocks, whose
value is prodicated on the guarantees made
about The safety and economy of this
alleged new illuminant.
Ii is perhaps known TO the public, through
The publica tons in The Times, that grave
doubts were expressed in that paper as to
the feasibility of the A Get ylene gas scheme,
and from time to time attention was ca He'd
TO the fact that the gas, held in the liquid
form under Il pressure some hing like 700
pounds to the square inch, was Il danger
GUS thing To have in the house or wherever
1t was stored.
As the gas is an inflammable and easily
combustible stuff, ii was evident. without
argument, that when il was fired and
burst under pressure the effects would be
terrific. This was of course denied, and
coyertly, in reply 10 the objections of The
Times, the Acetylene and Carbide COM
panies here published an advertisement in
which they assured the public that there
was no danger"
The advertisement went further and
said, simplicity, safely, efficiency, and
cost are guaranteed 1t is now evident
to every householder who has contemplated
the use of acetylene stored in cylinders
10 the basement of his home that whether
the gas itself takes fire, or whether a
fire reaches it from any source, it would
be better to have barrel of guDpowder in
the cellar than the acetylenc gas.
1t is known that great many of the
stockholders of the companies here are
ladies who have had implicit faith in the
ASSURANCES of the company. The present
catastrophe will be such a plain proof
of the false or Ignorant representations
of the companies, that it will undoubtedly
call for explanations from the company.
1t will be remembered that the manag
ment of the acetyiene interests here said
that they would build some kind of plant
and would be ready to give people the use
of their gas in the spring. 1t has not
been Published that the company has mad
any efforts toward building the plant or
in fact plants" because one company is to
manufacture the carbide and the other the
acetyiene gas: and u person who To kess stock
must take it in equal shares in both COM
panies.
The Times demonstrated the impractical
bility of the use of the gas according to the
hyperbolic claims of the company. and in
this it was followed by two of the
most reputable scientific journals of the
country. 1t certainly appears that the
claim that the gas is non-explosive has been
exploded by the sad results yesterday at
New Haven.

Asks no Nations Aid.
Londen, Jan. 21.-The Right Hon. Jos.
Chamberlain, Secretary OF State for the
colonies, delivered a speech tonight at a
banquet given by natives of Queensland
residing or visiting in London.
He referred to the solidaritary of the
imperial sentiment which made it impos-
sibie for a blow to be struck er a chord
sounded in the most distant part of the
empire without its being re-echoed in every
part of her majesty's dominions. Great
Britain, he said had been guilty of many
sins of emission and commission toward her
colonies.
Still she alone among the nations of the
earth had been able to establish and main
tain colonies in all parts OF the world.
England, while resolute to fulfill her
obligations, was equally determined to
maintain her rights. (Cheers.) England, II
isolated, stood secure in the strength Of
her own resources, in the firm resolution
of her people without respect to party, and
in the abundant loyalty of her children from
one end of the empire to the other.
