GAS AND WATER.
s ONE AS NECESSARY AS The
OTHER?


New York, June BIN the recent
agitation here about the price of gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every resi-
dent is as dependent upon supply OF
gas as upon supply Of good water.
1t has come to pass that the day Ia
borer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account OF its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements in burners, Is
cheaper. better and more satisfactory
than any other kind of light. Gas
sells at S1.OO per thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that to as high
as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lenel, and each user makes his own gas
and is independent OF Gas and Electric
Companies. Acetylene is more per-
feet illuminant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies in the cities, and
the cost to the smallest user is about
the equivalent Of city gas at 50 cents
per thousand.
Acetylene Is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily ne
cessities.
The light from an acetylene flame is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in quail
ity is only rivaled by the suns rays.
If water and solid material known as
Calcium Carbide are brought into con
tact, the immediate result is the max
ing of this wonderful gas. The genera
ton of acetylene is SO. simple that ex-
perience or evenapparatus is not neces-
sary. to. make it, If it is desired to
make it for practical lighting. and to
keep it for. immediate use, then small!
machine called an "Acetylene Genera
tori is employed. There are many re-
sponsibIe concerns making acetylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes Throughout
buildings. grounds or entire cities and
towns in the same manner as ordinary
city gas Acetylene is the only salts
factory means of lighting isolated
buildings located in the country Oh
suburbs at a distance from city gas OF
electric plants

FORE the outbreak of the war in the
far East
The part of Washington which
pleased him best was the National Mu-

ance OF one OF the best-informed an
thropologists in America, the acting
dean, Prof. Otis T. Mason. Prof. Ma
son is as small as he Is mighty, but
straight as an arrow, in spite Of his
white hair, and every inch of him a
man. He looked like picturesque
pocket-edition beside the magnificent
Makaroff. with his broad shoulders
and massive chest and huge beard.
They were standing before the in
complete Russian exhibit. Prof Ma
son explained several reasons why the
collector had failed to do his duty,
ending, according to his invariable
kindness, with the remark: 81 sup
pose we must consider them as ade-
quate excuse" Instantly Admiral Ma
karoff> replied: There are plenty of
reasons, but there is never an excuse
for any failure" His deep voice was
like velvet thunder. 1t made whatever
he said seem momentous. And he
came by the principle honestly. 1t

UNCLE MATS" GREAT SECRET
Did Visiting Minister Little Good +
Find IL Out


Having accumulated a considerable
property, the late Nathaniel Whitmorl
Of Gardiner, Mass, more familiarl,
known by people of the Kennebec val
ley as Uncle Nat" Whitmore, received
naturally enough, numerous requesti
from various organizations to contrib
ute toward the work in which thest
organizations were interested. Sci
dom, however, did he respond to thI
appeals.
On one occasion the minister of |;
certain church in Gardiner approached
him, only to be politely turned away
as many others before him had been
on the plea of poverty.
"Bu', Mr. Whitmore," said the di
vine, you are reputed to be very rich
What, pray, since you have no chill
dren, do you intend to do with you
money when you die?"
Uncle Nat" rubbed his long, bon,
hands together, and with siniste
smile on his face, replied:
MY good sir, that is a secret hav'
never confided to anyone, but as vol
are minister of the gospel, and will
presumably, hold inviolable anything
may say, I'm going to tell you"
The clergyman assured Mr.. Whit
more that the secret would be vel
kept, whereupon the latter drew clost
and, in a tone Of the greatest conf
dence, said:
when 1 die I'm either going tt
take my money with me or leave i
behind"

A clNEMATocaAPH MARTYR.
Bound and Devoured by Real Lions in
the Arena.

the Arena.
In tall, glass rooted building, just
outside Paris, high up on the top floor
where the light is good, a strange and
interesting spectacle was witnessed to-
day.
The building belongs to the firm OF
Pathe Brothers, and the floor had been
converted into a very good imitation
of an arena where, for the benefit of
the cinematograph operator, Chris
tan captive" was to- be torn to pieces
to make "a Roman holiday"
In the corner of the arena an over
turned chariot lay, while the cardboard
horses which which had drawn it beat
the air with their hoofs in an ineffec.
tual effort to recover their equilibrium.
A dead warrior lay near by, and he'll
NETS, swords and ether articles which
had figured in the deadly fray were
scattered over the ground.
On the imperial tribune, Nero, with a
silver wreath encirciing his brow, sat
among his favorltes. When the opera.
tor was ready to begin, three barehead-
ed and barelegged slaves came on the
scene, rolled away chariotwheel, and
carried out the dead Roman. Then
Nero raised his hand, and Immediately
procession of slaves and soldiers filed
into the arena.
The slaves were scantily attired and
wore sandals. The soldiers were clad
in chain armor, and were equipped
with shields, leg-guards and helmets.
In the centre walked a noble-looking
white captive" and as the rear guard
passedsme I noticed copy of the Matin
sticking out of one of the soldiers
pockets. When the procession had
passed once around the arena it drew
up in front of the imperial tribune, and
the slaves and the noble captives knelt
before Nero, shouting, 1--WE who are
about to die salute thee"
Then two guards sprang forward,
seized the captive, dragged him, resist
Ing, to the stake in the centre of tae
arena, and securely bound him to it
The cinematograph stopped clicking.
The captive was released and re-
placed by a dummy figure to which
were attached several pieces of meat
freshly dipped in blood.
Nero nodded once more, and Juliano,
a well-known lion tanner, clad like a
gladiator, entered the arena. He was
quickly followed by four live lions,
which roamed about the place in search
of victim.
Suddenly one of them sighted the
christian" bound to the stake. With
a growl the beast rushed upon him
and tore him limb from limb.
All this time the cinematograph had
been working off its films, and in a very
short space of time a realistic repre-
sentation of the death of Christian
| in the arena had been secured. Lon

FEED YOUNG GIRLS.
Must Have Right Food While Growing

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain all that is upbuilding,
and nothing harmful.
AT that age the structure is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on the other hand UNI
healthy cells may be built in and a sick
condition slowly supervene which. il
not checked, may ripen into a chronic
disease and cause lifelong suffering.

Coffee began to have such an effect

was compelled to quit using it. 1t

CHILD BADLY BURNED.
Gasoline Explodes From an Ignited
Cigarette

Mildred Milstead, six years old, was
frightfully burned about the face and hands
yesterday afternoon in front Of her parents
home, 1915 E street southeast. How the
child escaped death could not be explained
by those who witnessed the affair. Mildred
had returned from neighboring store with
a demijohn Of gasoline and was about to
enter her home with it when boy with a
smoking cigarette caused the fluid to ignite.
Children who were about the front of the
Milstead house at the time the affair hap
pened told the police that the boy dropped
a lighted match near the demijohn inten-
tionally, but the boy entered a denial, and
the father of the burned child was also
satisfied that the affair was an accident.
Mrs. Milstead was attracted to the front
of the house by the cries OF her child and
she succeeded in extinguishing the blaze In
time to save the little ones life. The
police patrol wagon was summoned from
the fifth precinct and the sufferer was re-
moved to Providence Hospital. Her face
and hands were frightfully blistered and
burned, but the physicians were satisfied
that she had not inhaled the flame. After
her burns had been dressed the child was
taken home.
