To Measure Natural Gas.

When natural gas was first brought
into use in America there seemed to
be a general idea that the supply was
inexhaustible. 1t was sold at low
rates and usually without measure
ment. This method encouraged waste
in the consumption of gas, and was
shortly abandoned by the larger com
panies. To-day nearly all consump'
ton is sold by Measurement 1t is
believed that the time has now come
when 1t is possible to procure stats
tics Of the quantity of gas consumed,
and next year this win be undertaken.
The method win give such figures in

TRAINING Children.

When people learn the Importance
Of properly training the children for
whom they are responsible, there will
be a new era on earth. The generation
that devotes itself successfully to this
task can afford to neglect most Of
the other problems that keep men too
busy to know what their boys are do
ing, and when the children are trained
as they should be, most of the other
things will not need to be done. 1t
is also quite possible that the peo-
pie who successfully sacrifice them
kelves for their children will not lose
anything themselves.

selllna a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. It did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore 1t
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead Of being afraid of the
bell, they we're charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had a dance every night.
