GAS PRICES AND GAS METERS.

reducing the price Of gas from 81 20 to 81 per thou-
sand cubic feet. At that time | pointed out mat
no matter how low the price OF gas was. the con-
sumer had no means OF knowing how much ne
ought to pay. unless he knew how much gas ne
burned and this he could only know II he was
supplied with a reliable meter. The veracity OF uhe
old gas meter has passed into ProVerb ne ~
like a gas meter Now gas is offered TOT % ct'eS :

IL going 10 exploit this burner says; "Ihe sthnuaI1
burner burns five cubic feet OF gas an hour anu
gives n light OF only twenty-six candle-poNteiL,
whereas the new burner will burn but one cup.c

The French naval authorities acting In con)unc-
tion with Mr.. Marconi, to-day conducted some most
successful experiments with wireless telegraphy pc

French cruiser Nienne was used for the purpose

board and the inventor was present on the cruiser
to superintend the experiments Wimereux. near
Boulogne and the South Forcland lighthouse, on
the English coast. used az the land sta tons
one very important feature about the operations is
that they were conducted at a record distance:
Hitherto the distance between the South Foreland
and Bouogne. about twenty-eght miles. Is the
greatest through which these ethereal messages
have been transmitted; but on Saturday 1t was de-
cided to Increase the distance Messages were
transmitted between the cruiser and the Engiisn
land at intervals until the vessel reached point
twelve or fourteen miles south OF Boulogne. nc
greatest distance through which the messages were
transmitted was forty-twO miles.
The increased distance appeared TO have not the
slightest effect upon the current, the messages
heinz recorded at the receiving station at the
South Forc.and with unvarying distinctness. the
experiments commenced at a. m, and were cor on
tinued throughout the day. In the afternoon the
channel was enveoped in an exceedingly dense fog

LONDON AT A DISADVANTAGE
London has been at disadvantage in COM
harrison with the great provincial towns in all
,,unicipal enterprises. because the County Coun-
ou has not been armed with full powers over the
metropolis So long as the ancient City Corpora
ZION remains the stronghold of water. gas, cleo
,ric light and tramway monopolies, the great
works Of municipalization, which the chief
glory Of local government III provincial EHBldiu
ard Scotland cannot be initiated here. One more
wafer famine in the East End will probably send
the London County Council far aheld to Wales in
search Of an adequate source Of supply, and
1he pover q the water barons OF the Guildhall
will be broken up. Already there is ground for
expecting the speedy ex lnction Of the exclusive
rights Of one of the worst monopoles of the city.
This is the City Electric Lighting Company. The
Board Of Trade has granted a provisional order
10 the Charing Cross and Strand Electricity
Supply Company to compete in the territory OF
the monopoly. and only the assent Of Parliament
s. required to render it permanently operative.
The most advanced provincial municipalities
manage electric supplies. well gas. water
and tramway service on their own account for
The public welfare London has Jagged so far
behind in progressive measures Of municipal re-
form that even the granting Of a competing
license to a rival company is regarded as con-
splcuous triumph for good government

Mr.. WI ADMIRES QUEEN REGENT
CHINESE MINISTER'S COMMENT ON SPANS
KILLER

Washington, July Minister WI Ting Fang. OF
China. returned TO the city to-day from three
months European trip which he made to present
his credentials Minister to Spain as well as to
the United States. Concerning the Queen Regent
and her he said:
The Queen Regent Is good woman whom
admire very much She has many gracious quail
ties and has the love OF her country at heart
Any unpopularity which may exist toward her Is
due entirely TO the fact that she Is foreigner by
birth. The boy Kins. whose birthday anniversary
/ attended while at Madrid is a bright and sensi-
bic lad. who speaks several languages. though he
appears to be somewhat delicate In health"
|: was suggested to tine Minister that the discus
sion regarding the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF China had
subsidized recently. 20 which he made an affirmative
reply. He expressed himself highly iucredulous
OF the reports coming from Vancouver OF the
probable abdication of the Emperor. This Is en-
tirely unlikely he said inasmuch as the reigning
monarch was put on the throne by the Empress
Dowager, his aunt.

Of this communication l. at quite the opposite pore
theologically from the young man ana father
Huntington. but he is ready TO receive Information
from any quarter and to show respect for ablhty

The truth Is that here in Central New lork we
