Considerable feeling exists I'm govern

Lieutenant Commander Potts for having
called Admiral Schley "A coward" as
stated at the Sampson investiga-

regarded the whole transaction as a dis

himself against the criticism of fellow Of

A representative of the foreign office
states that the government has infrmed

HOW ACETYLENE WAS FOUND.
Discovery of the Valuable Gas Was
Made by n Canadian Less Than
Ten Years Ago.

To the owner of an automobile
the acetylene lamp which adds SO
much to his comfort and his safety
is SO old story that it hardly seems
possible to him that it was a thing
impossible less than decade ago.
The facts relating to the discovery
of acetylene gas are interesting,
writes Roscoe S. Denton, in the Au-
tomobile Magazine.
Some years ago a Canadian, Thorn
as P. Wilson, was smelling for metal
lurgical purposes. From time to
time he used good deal of rock salt
in his furnace stock, and also lime
stone as fux. Whenever these two
materials were fused together the
slug produced by the intense cleo
trical Leat included dirty grayish
substance wholly unlike anything
else he had ever seen.
For weeks he noticed this sub
stance without giving more than q
passing attention to it, dumping it
into the stream upon the bank OF
which he had built his furnace.
OAC Oay d CuAAOuS CAAAAS OSSuAA SNS
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
of it going under and part of it re-
naming above the water in red
hot state, the sizzling, and steaming
was followed by bright burst of
fame.
The next time Mr.. Wilson used
rock salt and limestone the blaze
again appeared over the Stag after
it had been cast into the river, ami.
being ut night, he was much struck
by the brilliant white light pro-
duced.
On the first occasion thereafter
when he had batch Of the queer
grayish residue to dispose of he did
not waste it, but saved it and poured
over it some water for experiment..
To his surprise there was no fame.
but after puzzling awhile over this
feature he held lighted match over
the pile, when instantly there was a
white, glowing flame, and Wilson
knew that he had found something
worth while. His discovery was
acetylene gas, and the automobiles
is not the only man who is deeply in
debted to him for having made it.
