ACETYLENE GAS.
HOW q Canadian Meta1lurgist Acct
dentally Stumbled On To q
Good Thing,

The facts relating to the discovery
OF actylene gas are interesting. It ap-
pears that some years ago Thomas l..
Wilson, of st. Catharines, Ont, was
smelling for metallurgical purposes,
says the Western Electrician. From
time to time he used good deal of rock
salt In his furnace stock, and also lime
stone as flux. Whenever these two
materials were fused together the Stag
produced dirty grayish substance
wholly unlike anything else he had ever
seen. For weeks he noticed this SUBJ
stance without giving more than pass
ing attention to it, dumping it into the
stream upon the bank of which he had
built his furnace. One day curious
thing occurred and at time when the
pile OF Stag had become SO large that
its top rose above the surface of the
water. A minute or two after dumping
the Stag as usual into the stream, some
or 1t going under and part remaining
above the water in a red-hot state, the
SIZZLING and steaming was followed by
a bright burst of flame. The next time
Mr.. Wilson used rock salt and lime
stone the blaze again appeared over the
Stag after it had been cast into the
river, and, it being at night, he was
much struck by the brilliant white
light produced. The next time that he
had a batch of the queer grayish resi-
due to dispose of he did not waste II. but
saved 1t and poured over it some water
for experiment. He held a lighted
match over the pile, when Instantly
there was white, glowing flame.

LIKED TIE SMOKE.
1t Reminded Her OF Her Husband
While Fighting in the
Philippines.

One bright afternoon lately q pretty
little woman of 80 or whereabouts, with
rather Il wistful expression of counte-
nance. Guarded Fourteenth street
open car"way uptown. She took place
on the las; seat of the cara smokers
seat. A man who happened to be rid
ing In the same seat knew, without be-
ing himself acquainted with the little
woman, that her husband is a regular
army officer, who has been in the thick
OF the hard soldering in the Philip
pines for the past year. A few squares
below the point at which she got OH
the car, says the Washington Post, a
man she knew boarded 1t, and, recop-
nizing her, took seat alongside of her.
He had just lighted big, comfortable
looking cigar before getting on. After
the greetings, he said to her:
You are on a smokers seat. Won't
this cigar annoy you?"
"On the contrary, that is why I took
one OF these Seats" she replied.
"That's peculiar" said the man.
You must like smoke, then?"
Il love it," she said. 1T brings Jack
bit nearer home, you know. He is
such terrific smoker, and do so miss
the smell of his cigar smoke around the
house-you really can't imagine how
much 1 miss it. I take ride on one of
these rear seats every morning, just to
smell the tobacco smoke"
There's Woodworking, heat-tor-
tured, homesick chap in officers clothes
out yonder in those turbulent islands
who's in luck, and who may or may not
know what faithful and lovable little
woman he's got for wife," thought
the man who happened to overhear this
little talk.

THE DIsEYFUS CASE.

The question upon which the Rem
mes court martial will have to pass at
re-trial Of the Dreyfus case is Us fol ,
lows: "ls Dreyfus guilty Of having
in 1894 practiced Vaccinations or
carried on communications with O
foreign power or one of it's agents
for the purpose OF inducing it to en-
gage in hostilities or to wage war
against France, or of furnishing it
with the means Of doing 80 by supply
ing it with the notes and documents
enumerated in the bordereaux?' All
the main evidence upon which con-
viction was secured against Dreyfus
in December, 1894, having been prov.
ed false, forged and fraudulent, the
court in justice can render but one
answer to this ques ton, and that is,
No. The former accusers of Dreyfus
no longer stand ready to confront
him. OF his judges the principal one
has died mailman; and Of the chief
witnesses against him one committed
suicide after confessing to the for
gerry OF evidence, another is in a cell
awaiting a trial for forgery and the
third is fugitive from justice, who
has acknowledged that he and not
Dreyfus was the author of the most
important Of the discriminating docu-
ments. A more complete or dra-
matte collapse OF dark conspiracy
could hardly be imagined.-Virginia
Chronicle.

Tooth-PuIIinr by Proxy.

The sultan of Turkey is most in
luisitive as to what is said and writ
ten about him abroad. Every day
TRANSACTIONS are laid before him from
the newspapers of the world, ind these
are all closely peEused. His majesty is
bad hand at suffering. At one time
he wanted to have an aching tooth re-
moved and dared not. Eight slaves had
molars drawn out in his presence that
he might have an opportunity of judg-
ing the extent ofsuffering entailed, and
finally the sultan decided that he
would rathei bear the pain than under

CONSIDERABLE comment has been
aroused by the statement of facts pub
lished edit )rially in The ISLANDER
last week relative to the filing of pre-
posterous bills for alleged services in
connection with the late small poX out
break at Doe Bay. The writer's famil-
iarty with the circumstances, gained
from personal investigation at Doe Bay
and from conversation with reliable
people resident in that immediate vi
entity and who know the claimants
who are making this attempt to fleece
the county, is such that he has felt no
hesitancy about giving publicity to
such facts in connection with the mat
ter as have already appeard in this
paper, and he will not hesitate to shed
additional light upon it if it is needed
to convince the taxpayers of the county
that the claims in question are without
the least foundation i'm equity. We
have heard it suggested that it might be
better to compromise them for small
sum than risk q suit for their cOllec-
ton. We have little patience with the
compromise idea in such case. The
claims are either based upon services
rendered for which the county is re-
sponsible or they are not. If they are
it should be easy to ascertain the facts
and determine the authority for the
county's responsibility. If they are
not the county cannot be held respon-
sible for a dollar. The county was
represented at Doe Bay by DR.. Wright,
as health officer. Any bills contracted
by his authority will doubtless be paid
without question. No man Who knows
him is likely to DOUBT his word. His
unsupported statement will carry far
more weight than the affidavit of an
adventures. We do not presume to
advise the commissioners as to what
they should do in the matter, but from
our own knowledge of it they may be
assured that this paper will support
them in fiat refusal to pay cent of
these claims.
