The carbide of calcium manufactured In
France Is guaranteed to give 300 cubic liters
OF gas per kilogram. The output Is con-
stantly increasing, and the supply is fully

There are two villages in France COM
|pletely lighted by acetyline, by the Societe
Franco Espagnole du Gag Acetyline of No
u Rue st. Lazare. Paris. They are AL
zonne In the department Of Aude, q town Of
1905 Inhabitants, and Saurat-par-Tarascon
In the department of Ariege, a place Of
1924 inhabitants.
The ordinary method of Introducing ace
tyline gas into towns, up to the present
time, has been the same as that used by
the coal gas companies. For the privilege
OF furnishing gas to consumers at certain
rates the municipality usually demands
OF the contracting company that the light
ing of the city itself shall be virtually
free. 1t Is claimed by the French acetyline
gas companies that the installation of a
gas plant In each particular house has be-
como so simple that the consumers will not
pay an increased price for gas on account
or the free city lighting. but prefer to
nave their own plants. thus having their
light at reduced cost and independent OF
the city plant. 1t Is estimated by the gas
companies that a cubic meter Of acety1ne
gas costs 3SG cents, but the lighting power
being fifteen times that of coal gas, the
same unit of lighh Is obtained with a con-
sumption of acetyline gas fifteen times less
than that of ordinary gas Hence. taking
30 centimes C575 cents as the price of a
cubic meter Of coal gas. there results an
economy OF so per cent in tho lighting
power In favor Of acetyline gas.
a large consumer of calcium carbide in
forms me that as long as the American
manufacturers do not furnish a better ar
ticle OF calcium carbide than they are now
doing and continue to insist upon payment
IN advance. there will DO little chance of

WATERSPoUT IN THE GULF
Citizens Of Galveston Enjoy Beauti.
full SIGHT

A waterspout was seen In the gulf Sun
day morning. The sight was beautiful
one and was watched with interest until
he center of the huge volume reached a
point over the gulf. apparently about three
or four miles out at sea. Then came what
made the watchers open their eyes in won
der. Suddenly the black, ominous clouds
seemed to drop and from them came down
ward a massive point, as If hidden shaft
Of lightning had struck the heavy folds
and forced a portion earthward. This
was almost Immediately withdrawn and in
Its place appeared big, round column of
water, emanating directly from The clouds
with a ragged. serrated tip that moved up
and down with the rapidity and appear
ance Of the shuttle Of huge sewing ma
chine. Each downward move brought 1t
nearer the waters Of the gulf, until finally
at 5:55 o'clock sharp, a big volume Of wa
ter rose from the earthly reservoir and
made connection with the extended ten
tacle of the visitor from the clouds.
The water spout had been created From
a distance it appeared perfectly round and
about two feet in diameter, probably being,
In actual size, from ten to fifteen feet
across. For an instant 1t seemed station
airy, and the only movement that could be
discerned was the running up and down
the column Of the volumes Of water that
were passing between heaven and the sea.
Then, as II impelled onward by a great
power, the column began its race over the
gulf. On the outer circumference the water
whirled with the rapidity Of lightning
while in the center, which could be plainly
seen with the pair of field glasses the
watcher held, was streak of silver, stand
Ing out in bold relief and acting as a
newly frightened aluminium wire, shaken
from either end with a gyratory motion.
This was the middle Of the spout and the
connecting link Of straining water which
held about 1t the heavier revolving mass es.
1t was sublime spectacle.

Acetvlene in Franco

In reply to All inquiry from the editor
of a New York publication in regard to the
production of acetyline gas from calcium
2 carbide in France, Consul Thackara, writ
ing from Havre, August 4. 1898. says. ac-
cording to the government consular reports
as follows:
There are no official statistics bearing
upon the annual output Of calcium carbide,
so that the amount furnished yearly by the
different manufacturers has to be esti-
mated. These estimates vary from 1000 to
5000 tons per year from each factory. de-
pending upon the demand and the number
OF hours each establishment works.
There are ten factories at present en-
gagged In the manufacture Of carbide of
calcium In France. Four factories are un-
.dergoing construction. They will be able
to produce. when running at their full
capacity from 250o to 5000 tons per year.
Ine wholesale price OF carbide of calcium
IN France is from $50 to 400 francs ($e7.55 to

The Duty on Tea

The new revenue law which has been in
operation since June LIST as to tea imposed
tax of 10 cents per pound on that article
to remain In force until 1900 Already there
are rumors that efforts for the abolishment
OF the tea tax will be introduced at the
next session of congress- The New York
Commercial says: I'm the tea district down
town there seems to be pretty general
opinion that the tea duty had better re-
nam. one broker said: L not only think
that the duty should be called Off, but be-
lieve 1t will be very soon. The Washington
folks are evidently of the opinion that It
is not popular tax. and 1t will undoubted-
ly be the first of the war taxes to he can
ceied There Is no prospect of trade i'm
proving until the question as to the repeal
of the duty Is settled
Another broker said: 7 think IL would

one tea drinker in hundred knows that
any such tax exists If they noticed It I
