GAS AND WATER.
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER2
Citizens of Large Cities Say 1t ID.

New York, June 13.-rn the recent
agitation here about tile 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 a supply Of good water.
It 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 $1.00 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-
lene), and each user makes his own gas
and is independent Of Gas and Electric
Companies. Acetylene is a 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 80 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 acetylent fame Is
soft, steady and brilliant, and in quail
ity is only riyaled by the SUMS rays.
If water and q 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 ax-
perience or even apparatus is not neces-
sary to make it. If 1t is desired to
make it for practical lighting, and to
keep it for immediate use, then small
machine called an "Acetylene Genera
tor is employed. There are many re-
sponsible 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 or
suburbs at distance from city gas or
electric plants.

temperature There was widespread
complaint that cool nights We're un-

than the usual amount Of sunshine
over the western and central parts

parts. There were local high, damag-

A large portions Of the State had
40 rain during the week, but there
were heavy rains in the east central,
eastern and southern counties on the

work and increasing the foulness OF
corn and cotton.
Farm work made rapid progress ov-

small portion of the crop to chop to
stands. Favorable progress was made
in cleaning fields Of grass and weeds.
but much remains foul, and some will
be abandoned owing to the rank

GOING TO BOSTON.
Canal Engineers Will Inspect the
Wachusett Reservoir.

The board of consulting engineers of the
Panama canal commission will make an
inspection of the WachuSett reservoir, a
part of the water supply system of Boston,
before sailing for the isthmus next Thurs
day. That trip was decided on today dur
ing a meeting at which the discussion Of
the construction of dams was the continued
subject. The Boston reservoir in question
is maintained by an earthen dam with
sand and earth foundation. 1t holds water
to the depth of sixty feet, and was built
by Engineer Stearns, a member of the
board. 1t is regarded as practical Illus
tration of the strength of an earthen dam
on earth foundation, and in that connection
Is very valuable in solving the problem of
dams on the isthmus, where many borings
have been taken in the search for rock
foundations for dams. with varying success.
The board has spent the greater part of
the time during It's sessions here on that
question: but under resolution that no vote
or conclusion be recorded until after it's
visit to the isthmus. In the discussion to-
day the practibility of dams at various
heights. ranging from sixty to ninety feet,
was discussed, as well as the various loca-
tons for dams along the line of the canal.
The details of the trip of the board to
Boston have not been arranged. 1t is ex-
pected the engineers will leave here the
first of the week. go direct to Boston, then
to New York, from where they will sail for
Panama.
