Council.

The city council met on Monday even- ing at the News office. A full attend ance was noted at roll call.
 The matter of the application of w. J. Hills for franchise to operate tel. ephone system in the city of Douglas was taken up, and after discussion of the concessions asked for, the council refused to grant il.
 The committee appointed to audit the books of the school board made 8 report in which they criticised the ac- tion of the board in paying out of the school funds, the salaries of school teachers employed by the U. $. govern ment. The report also condemned the payment of s100 to V. l.. Holt for ser vices as clerk of the school board, con- trary to the provisions of the School Ordinance.
 Upon motion the report was accepted and the committee discharged. Chas. A. Hopp offered his resignation as president of the council, which was, on motion, accepted.
 MT. Frank Bach was then elected president of the council and ex oftioio mayor of the city.
 Mir. Bach took the chair, and after thanking the members briefly for the honor, proceeded to name the standing committees for the year, which were as follows:
 PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

 HEALTH AND POLICE.

Recent Facts About Acct
 ylene Gas.

It is now possible to add consider able reliable data touching the proper ties of the gas and it's uses as an illumi- nant.
 The ease with which it can be lique- fled and converted into gas led at first to the conclusion that it might be conveniently kept in the liquid form and converted into gas as needed. h. vestigations since made by Berthelot prove that the liquid gas under pres sure, as in tanks. is explosive. The explosion may be brought about by a spark or any sufficient elevation of temperature. The gas itself, under a pressure greater than about two atmos- pheres, is explosive in the same way. There have been number of instan- ces in which the substance, under the conditions just cited, has exploded with terrific results. The explosions here referred to arc independent of Che presence of air, and are due to the endothermic nature of the gas. 1t IS also established that at atmospheric pressure a mixture of three per cent. of acetylene gas with air is" explosive, and such mixture continues explosive until the acetylene exceeds eighty two per cent. of the mixture. On account of it's explosive properties the use of acetylene has been prohibited in Ger many. Acetylene is heavier than coal gas, and would, when escaping by a leak, diffuse much less rapidly than common gas, and thus would sooner bring about an explosive mixture near the leak.
 From careful consideration and com putations Professor Jacobus finds that for equal light in New York City from tho incandescent electric lamp, the ordinary gas burner and the Welsbach burner, the respective costs are as l, 5. IT. To compete with ordinary gas when used in Welsbach burner, cal cium carbide for acetylene manufacture would have to be furnished in New York at nineteen dollars and fifty cents per ton. Whether this can be done has not yet been decided. The same authority concludes that it is un- wise to use acetylene gas under pres sure or in the liquid form. There are many considerations which effect the value of an illuminant besides it's cost. The most important of these, after safety in use, are it's effects in contam- mating the air.
