LIGHTING LORE.
AcETYlENE ExcELs AS AN ,LLU.
MlNANT.
Gas for Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities and Large Towns, now In
General Use in the Country.

The satisfactory lighting OF subur-
ban and country homes requires that
the means used shall be convenient.
safe, economical and furnish a b1i
liant, penetrating. effulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are
not the characteristics Of the candle
or kerosene lamp. which, formerly,
were the only feasible means of pro
ducing light for domestic use In the
rural districts.
For generations there was crying
need, yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. A few years
ago deliverance came in the shape OF
the chemical compound, Calcium Car.
bide, from which. by the simple ap.
plication of water, the gas Acetylere
is derived. Acetylene meets all the
requirements fully and admirably and
is being generally used.
Common lime and carbon m the
form of coke or coal are the raw ma.
terials which. fused in an intensely
heated furnace, make Calcium Car
bide, and there is no difficulty In OBJ
tanning 1t in any part of the country.
The machine into which the Cal
cium Carbide is fed and from which
the Acetylene is distributed through
the building to be lighted, is but little
larger than a thirty-gallon milk can,
and Of the same general form. 1t is
easily and cheaply installed. either in
the cellar or in an out-building.
The light from burning Acetylene
is exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. Il does not tsint the air nor
strain the eyes and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light

Cheap Summer Clothes.

This is the season when the clever
woman visits the shops and replen-
ishes her wardrobe. In a few weeks
the fall suits and hats will fill the
stores, and meantime summer things

Linen suits that brought $25 early In
the season may now be had for SO or
$40. Embroidered shirt waists are
reduced about half; good linen skirts
are sold for 81 and SO: 50-cent belts
are now going for 10; straw hats NAV

linen shirt waist suits that have sold
for IS, $40 and s12 may now be picked
up at 81 and IS. These things win
not look old-fashioned next summer

The diamond drin was lost while

far East Rand, about thirty-three
miles from Johannesburg. When the
work had proceeded for more than a
year and the bore hole had reached a
depth of $3.50 feet the bit became
damned, and the rods were conse-

it contained no core and the diamond
