II Is reported that a Cleveland
chemist has perfected a method of
securing Illuminating gas from corn
cobs, stalks and straw. The process
Is very similar to that employed In
manufacturing gas from coal. The
heating power of this gas is said to
be much greater than that OF coal
gas, and It is believed that eventu-
ally It can be manufactured with
such economy as to permit of its
being sold at so cents per 1000 feet,
Thirty per cent OF the original weight
of the material remains after the
gas is extracted, and this can be
used to feed the boilers. The sci
entific name of the new product is
"gramlpeous" gas, or in common
parlance 1t is corn gas.

One Step at a Time.

1t is wonderful how much practical
wisdom about the smallest perplexi-
ties OF daily life comes to men who
keep both their feet and their wishes
still until Providence-the world pre-
fers to call it "circumstances"-
clears a path for them No doubt in
all our lives there come times when
We seem TO have been brought into a
blind alley, and cannot see where we
are to get out; but 1t is very rare in
deed that we do not see one step In
advance the duty which lies next US.
AND De sure Of this, that if we are con-
tent TO see but one step at a time, and
take 1t, we shall find our way made
plain--Rev. Alexander MacIaren.
