GAS AND WATER
rs ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
oTHER7
Citizens Of Large Cite. Say It Is.

New York, June 13-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas.
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon a sup
ply OF gas as upon a supply of good
water.
II has come to pass that the day
laborer 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 s1.00 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 perfect 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 90 cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light. the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft, steady and brilliant. and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
it. If 1t is desired TO make 1t for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep 1t for i'm
mediate use. then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many response.
Bile concerns making acetylene gener.
ators. 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 satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun.
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

This is the usual procedure followed

self is a hoepful sign. Besides, by
postponing the burning questions
to the end the psychological moment for
bargain and compromise arrives.
Probable Solution.
To the closest observers the final
solution begins to crystalize quite
paturallythe Russians yielding the ces-
sion of Sakhalin. Japan foregoing "the
cost of the war;" but taking compen.
sation in the money to be refunded to
Japan by China on account of the
transfed to her of the Chinese Eastern
railroad, the Russian government
property in Port Arthur and Dalny and
remuneration for the maintenance OF
the 5000 Russian prisoners in Japan.
According to the Russian view Japan
has already secured all and more than
she dreamed of claiming before the
war.
Questions Settled.
All questions relating to Korea and
Manchuria. except the cession of the
Chinese Eastern railroad and the
main Siberian line running through
northern Manchuria from the station
Manchuria, on the Amur via Hardin
to Vladivostok. are settled in the five
articles already adopted. Some con-
fusion has arisen about these articles,
and the following resume can be &C
copied as absolutely accurate:
/. Recognition of Japan's "prepon-
derating influence in Korea.
2. Mutual obligation to evacuate
Manchuria, Russia to retrocede to
China all special privileges.
8. japanese obligation to restore the
sovereignty and administration of Chi
ma in Manchuria.
4. Mutual obligations to respect the
territorial and administrative integrity
of China and the principle of the
"open door,"
6. The surrender of the Russian
leases to the Liaotung peninsula, in
Guiding Port Arthur. Dalny and the
Blonde and Elliott islands.
