GAS mANTLEs ONLY ASHES.
invention Due to the Experiments Of
Vienna Chemist.

The gas mantle Is nothing but ashes
and 1t is wonderful how science makes
its particles cling together as long as
they do.
The gas mantle was invented by a
chemist of Vienna. He noticed the
intense light given out by a small
quantity Of thorium thrown into a
stove In his laboratory. He realized
the Importance of the discovery and
in 1880 began a series of experiments
to utilize this remarkable quality of
the element in intensifying light. He
found that pure thorium would not
cohere well enough to be of use and
he then began searching for com
bination Of elements that would an
swer.
In 1887 he produced his first man
ties, but they we're 30 delicate that
they could not be transported. and
we're delivered by hand. A boy was
trusted to carry two, one in each
hand, for delivery about the streets of
Vienna. In the early COS he found
that a good mantle could be made
from a combination Of the two sub
stances, thorium oxide and cerium OK
ide, and that a coating Of collodion
would give sufficient firmpess to al
low 1t to be transported. Since then
gas nantes have gone into general
use in nearly all parts Of the world,
and thousands Of factories are pro-
ducing them.

Safes for Wales.

The number of combination safes
in use in Wales is limited Many
causes have contributed to this re-
suit. In the first place burglary 10
not common, and 'cracksmen" are
practically unknown. Then, the dan
ger from fires cannot be great when
practically all the buildings are built
OF stone or brick. Police protec-
ton and fire prevention leave little
to be desired along that line. Last
ly, the conservative methods and the
economical bent of business men Of
all classes make them satisfied with
lock and key safes, some of very
ancient patterns. Notwithstanding
these facts, there ia an opening for
combination safes on account of the
number of new enterprises estab-
lished annually, for safe dealers re-
port that they frequently take orders
for such safes. Ordinarily such safes
are made to order. and the cheaper
price of American safes should give
them an advantage with such pur-
chasers.
November was called by the an
cient Saxons the whit monat. or wind
month, on account of the gales then
prevalent It was also named the
blot monat, or blood month, from the
ancient practice OF then slaughter
ing cattle for the winter provisions.
1t is said that the Roman senators
wished to name the month after
Tiberius, as months had already been
named after julius Caesar and Au-
gustus, but the emperor, like Canute.

much flattery and refused, remark.

GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK is in
u THE RACE.
Is at Least the Opinion Of the
Politicians at Washington, Who
Usually Know.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special
Washington, June 26.--It is begin
ming to be apparent that Governor
Hughes will have, to be reckooned
with in the political melee Of 1908.
Che Republican party is consum-
mate politician There is no nonsense
about it. 1t never allows sentiment
to interfere with its interests. Its
heart was for Grant in 1880; its head
was opposed 10 him, and Garfield got
the plum. Its heart was for Blaine
in 1876, but Hayes got the nomination.
Here is what the G. o. P. is now
meditating: The Republicans can win
without New York; the Democrats
: must have New York to make any
show at all. Nominate the Republican,
who has New York nailed down, and
the November election will be cake
walk.
Hughes has made good; he has de-
livered the goods. He is a reformer
and he is that marvellous combination,
reformer who is also safe. The veto
of the two-cent fare bill was a brave
thing to do and the Governors argu-
ment appeals to every conservative
man in every State. Grover Cleveland
meyer did a Drawer thing. His veto of
g bill to reduce the fare on Jay
uld's elevated roads from ten cents
five cents made him President. The
measure was extorted from the legis-
lature by public clamor and was the
fruit of political cowardice.
AS Governor Hughes puts it, the
situation at Albany is the same now as
it was in 1883 touching this matter of
passenger fares. He smote the bill,
and all New York whose applause is
worth anything is applauding him. 1t
makes him factor. If he shall be
chosen favorite son and New York
goes to the National convention abso-
lutely loyal to him, his chances for the
nomination will be excellent.
Politics is uncertain, as uncertain as
dice or cards. If the masses have their
way Roosevelt will be the nominee.
1t all depends on whether he will yield
to the universal demand. But with
Roosevelt out Of the thing Hughes is
in a commanding position. Van Blu
zen, Grover Cleveland, and Theodore
Roosevelt all were graduated from the
mansion Charles E. Hughes now oc-
cupies.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.

The average man cannot afford to
employ physician for every slight
aliment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neg

to cause the. loss of limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.
Success often depends upon prompt
treatment, which can only be had
when suitable medicines are kept at
hand. Chamberlain's Remedies have
