can turn his hand and his head and his
tongue to anything-sing song, make a
speech, write poetry, or preach a sermon
If he felt so inclined. He came to Salt
Lake from Denver some years ago. If

four dollars in sight for every dollar.
they put out in investments, Salt Lake
would be the commercial center Of the
intermountain country"
They tell me that Butte people pay
out more for light and obtain less candle
power than the worth of their money!
resumed the Sat Laker. Now Judge
COlborn has got hold of a new light that
is arousing much LEGAL interest. The 9TH
er night in Salt Lake, a test was made
in order to demonstrate that the gas
could be conducted through pipes any
distance desired and did not have to be
burned at, the point where it was made.
Up to this time the experiments have
been made with the light right where
the gas was generated: but on the night
the test was made the gas was conduct
ed through an ordinary tin speaking
tube for a distance of between thirty ana
forty feet and there burned with an orr
binary Welsbach gas burner. The result
was SO satisfactory that all interested
In the discovery were highly elated It
was held by them that this demonstrated
the fact that any family could have one
of these little machines and a tank of oil
outside. conduct the gas into the house
and have the most brilliant light known
to science for about one-tenth the pres
ent cost of electric light.
THE light exhibited in Judge Coborn's
office was said to be of $50 candle DOW
er. and this light, it was stated. could be
burned for fOrty-six consecutive hours
with one quart of OIL One test recently
made was to burn two of these lights for
thirty-seven and one-haf consecutive
hours on p cents worth of coal Oil at
the retail price in Salt Lake. Many To-
cal scientific men have tested the new
light. and agree that it is a WONDER
