Among the substitutes for coal as

general attention just now than gas.
says an Eastern exchange. Many peo-
pie who do not have 10 count the cost
and many more who do have to make
strain to make ends meet doubtless
expect to keep themselves more or less
comfortable by using gas for heating
and cooking. Only the vaguest no
tons exist as to the relative cost of
gas fuel. Everybody knows that 1t Is
dearer than anthracite when the latter
is at its normal prices; but with our
customary fuel practically unpro-
durable, even at four times the usual
figure, the use of gas would seem to the
uninitiate to be comparatively cheap
alternative. A closer investigation OF
the question, however, does not bear
out this impression.
Gas at 81 a thousand cubic feet has
been estimated to be equivalent In
heating value to anthracite at SIS a
short ton; where the cost of gas Is
higher its expensiveness as fuel Is, Of
course, CORRESPONDENCE greater. The
accuracy of the estimate has been in
a measure established by experiment
with steam heating plant the boiler
whereof was so constructed that steam
could be generated by a gas flame. In
the course of seven months 10000 GU
bic feet were consumed In heating a
rather large house of 10000 feet cubic
capacity. To state the result of the
experiment in terms comprehensive by
all, gas fuel is two and one-half times
as expensive as anthracite at Sc short
ton. Another test equally exhaustive
showed a ton of coal to be the fuel
equivalent OF 10000 cubic feet OF gas,
running the per ton rate up to $40, as
suming gas to cost 81 per thousand
Few of the moderately circumstanced
probably expect to keep their homes as
comfortable with gas as they had been
accustomed to do with coal. Gas stoves
have been installed as makeshifts and
with a view to making life endurable
in one, or perhaps two, of the principal
rooms. Here, however, another diff
Guilty has to be considered. Where is
the supply Of gas to come from to meet
the greatly augmented demand? 1t is
not merely question of turning on the
tap and lighting a match. II the re-

gas could not fill their tanks as quick
ly as they would be exhausted. The
fiuctuation in the demand in accord
ance with the rise and fall of the tenn
perature, moreover, would present con-
ditions almost impossible to meet; ana,
IL possible. 1t would be at a prohibitive
cost to the manufacturers for gas-hold-
ers or other means of storage. From
some cities a diminution of pressure
due to increased use of gas has already
been reported, and a much larger de-
mand would result in making gas UNI
available for anybody.

TELEGRAPH BACK READING. /"
n Most Difficult Line of Work -
What n Trained Memory VIII DO.


One of the requirements of first
class telegraph operator is what is
technically known as back reading
a faculty of the ear and the memory
developed in some cases to a marvel
lous extent. Stories of old-time tele-
graph operators experiences, of men
who transmitted messages that were
destined to make history, of men
and women who never saw each other,
but who lived and died after lifelong
friendships, each on the end of his
wire, and stories of hundred and one
other strange experiences have travel
ed among the profession until some
of the yarns have become classics. But
the stories of most interest to the
CHECKERS of keys who so well can ap-
preciate the difficulty of the feat are
those based on this same faculty of
back reading"
In one of the big Geographic COM
panies in this city-the instance itself
will explain what is meant by back
reading''--it is the rule that before a
new operator is engaged he must quail
ify by receiving three test messages.
These are sent to him over the wires
