NJ. Moissan has an account of his lat
est researches with the electric furnace
IN a recent issue of L'Annales de Chimie
ct de Physique. He gives the prepara-
ton and properties of titanium, molyb-
denum, uranium and the borides of iron
and of carbon, the preparation of man
ganese and a historical account Of the
researches already made on the crystal
liked carbides' of the alkaline earths.
He also lays claim to the discovery of
orystallized carbide Of calcium, while
assigning to Mr.. Wilson the credit of
having introduced its manufacture in
the United States. With regard to tita.
mum, M. Moissan has found that with
o current of 80 amperes and so volts
titanic acid is converted into crystal
LIKED oxide of titanium. With 800 am
peres and 70 volts the bronze yellow
nitride is obtained. When 200 am
peres and 20 volts are used. the tenn
perature rises above the point of decom-
position of this substance, and the car
bide is formed, free from nitrogen, and,
II this is heated with an excess of titan
ic acid, titanium containing only 2 per
cent of carbon is obtained. These sue

decisive proof Of the increase of temper

Death as the Catholic Protectory Match from
. BLOW Over the Heart.
At the noon recess at tho New York Catholic
Protectory on Monday q match game Of baseball
was played between tho boys of the Junior and
senior classes. The grounds wero crowded with
the thousand or moro boys who are inmates of
tho institution. and several of the Christian
Brothers who conduct tho institution woro
watching them.
Several innings had been played when Dennis
O'Connor, IS years old. one Of the lads on the
Junior nine, stepped to tho bat. There were
two boys on bases, and Dennis was very much
excited.
The pitcher of the senior nine sent in an In
shoot curve, and O'Connor. in his anxiety to hit
the ball, stepped too far over. the plato. The
ball struck him directly under the heart and he
dropped to the ground like n log.

THE IDEAL FUEL.

Everybody who stops to think of It will admit
that the idealfuel would be the ono which reduced
bulk, waste. and residuum to tho lowest terms.
On this basis compare coal and gas. Coal Is
heavy to handle and bulky to store; nine.tenths
noy; when 1t Is burned there arc tho ashcs to DO
disposed of-almost MS bulky, as tho conl was to
start with, and even more dirty and disagree
able. Gas as q fuel has no weight and practically
occupies no space.,-thc gas pipe would be there
anyhow every unit of hcat produced is applied to
whole heat value. not simply .one.tenth;. the
combustion is perfcct-no smoke, no Initiated
air, no flying ashes. The comparison Is dead
against. coal. and altogether in favor OF gas:
hut this is to leave, out the question Of cost
ing is only about half that OF coal; numberloss
experiments with, tho gas range have proved
that. Then why should you go on burning coal
In your Kitchen, when you can get n better fuel
