GAS USED UNDER LIME KlLNs.
Innovation by Connecticut Company
Ia Success.

The New England Lime company,
Of Winstcad, Conn, asserts that It Is
ihe first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning The method Is pro-
nounced an entire success, The grow.
Ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the
discovery OF gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con
slders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability OF gas
have been demonstrated beyond n
doubt. Had It been impossible to find
q substitute for wood, said member
OF the company, It would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment OF the business Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clInkers and no c!nders--and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood Gas also pro-
duces n more intense heat, and con6e.
quently increases the capacity OF the
klns. The daily output at the COM
pany's kilns is increased from so bar.
rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or total
of 100 barrels daily.

GOOD coLoRs FOR HOUSES.

II is not generally known-not even
among painters-why certain tints
and colors wear much better than
others on houses, and the knowledge
Of just what tints are best to use is.
therefore, rather hazy
One writer on paint, in n recent
book. says that experiments seem to
show that those colOrs which resist
or turn back the heat rays of the sun,
will protect a house better than those
which allow these rays to pass
through the film.
Thus red Is good color because It
turns back, or reflects, the red rays,
and the rcd rays are the hot rays.
In general therefore, the warm
tones are good and the cold tones are
poor, 50 far as wear is concerned. In
choosing tho color Of paint for your
house, select reds, browns. Erays
and olives which, considering the va.
rious tones these tints will produce,
will give a wide range from which to
choose.
Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold
yellows Oike lemon, cold greens
like grass green, etc.) and the blues.
1t must be understood that no vir.
tue is claimed for tints in themselves,
irrespective of the materials used in
the paint. Any color will fade, and
tho paint will scale off, If adultcrated
white lead or canned paint is used,
but IL one is careful to use the best

ATTACKS NEW GOVERNMENT
Joseph Chamberlain Issues His Elec-

His Fiscal Policy.

London, January Joseph Cham
berlain issued his election manifesto
today. After vigorously attacking the
new government, which he describes as
being essentially at"Home rule, little
Highlander government" depending for
its existence Oh Irish votes, he devotes
himself entirely to an exposition of his
fiscal policy, especially to the object of
colonial preference, which he speaks
Of as the first item in the constructive
program of the unionist party, the
second item, closely connected with the
first, being the policy of retaliation.
Continuing Mr.. Chamberlain says:
Il believe III objects can be fully
attained by a moderate general tariff,
scientifically adapted to the existing
conditions of the trade, and so arrang-
ed as to ecure the largest amount of
employment at fair wages for our peo-
pie. It would necessarily provide for
the free admission of raw materials
and of articles which we do not make
ourselves. while it would place a toll
on the manufacturers of those coun-
tries which do not treat us fairly.
Our policy is constructive and prac-
teal, while the policy OF our oppon-
ents is destructive and theoretical"

The apprehensions in France ap-
