GAS TURNED ON.
Flame is much More Satisfactory Than the Manufactured
 Article.

Gas users in the city yesterday ob. served the change from the manufac- tured gas supply to that Of the nat |ural gas, and the change was most pleasing. In most instances the supply had to be cut down very ma terially, and it is stated that the supply pipes will have to be cut down lower even than now, when the man ufactured article is all disposed of and the pipes used only for natura, gas,
 The difference in the price is caus- ing many clamors for gas in the out skirts of the city and ihe company will be busy for more than year meeting this demand.

GREAT NATURAL BRIDGE.

Justice Marshall Called It Goods
Gre ltest HiracIe In Stone"
The great Natural bridge, which is
one Of the natural wonders Of the
United States, overlooks the James
river valley, being ON the western
slope of the Blue mountains. 1t is
Just about the center of the state. 1t
approaches Niagara in grandeur and
exceeds 1t in height and awful mys-
terry. 1t is single block of lime
stone, with many shades Of color.
The walls are smooth, as If cut with
chisels, and there is no sign of dis
placement.
The visitor follows a tumbling cas-
cade down a deep fissure in the noun
tain under some of the largest arbor
vitae trees In the world and, turning
down line of steps cut into the preci-
pice, suddenly finds himself by swift
stream in dark canyon and the great
bridge far above him.
Washington when q surveyor for
Lord Fairfax visited the Natural bridge
and carved his name, where 1t may
still be seen. The original bridge tract
was granted by King George III. to
Thomas Jefferson in IVA. After he
was president Jefferson visited the
place, surveyed it and made the map
with his own hands. Jefferson spoke
of the place as "a famous place that
will draw the attention of the world"
Chief Justice Marshall wrote of the
bridge as Gods greatest miracle in
stone" Henry Clay wrote Of "the
bridge not made with hands that spans
a river, carries highway and makes
two mountains one"

FOOT OF THE BEE.
Strong Claws and Flexible Pads For
Rough and Smooth Surfaces.

Rough and Smooth Surfaces.
The seeming miracle of insects walk
ing nonchalantly on a ceiling is ex-
planned by Tickner Edwardes. chair
man Of the British Beekeepers' asso-
citation. in his book on ''The Lore of
the Honeybee." Insects owe such pow
er, 1t appears, to an ingenious device
which Is well illustrated in the foot Of
the bee.
She has a pair of short, strong dou-
BILE claws, which will take her securely
over all but the smoothest and shiniest
surfaces. and lit is with these claws
that bees form themselves into dense
clusters and knots and cables within
the hive, holding hand to hand, as it
were, In all directions. But when
there Is nothing for the claw to hold
by another part Of the foot comes into
play. This is soft, flexible pad,
which is always covered by thick,
oily exudation. In walking the bee
puts her feet down three at time,
the pads adhertng instantly they come
into contact with the smooth surface.
At the next step the other three pads
come into play, while the first three
are stripped off. But each foot is
capable of attaching and detaching it.

In this case, we learn, "the strip

Ingenious Way Major Hook evaded

the Terms of viii.
Among ingenious ways of evading
will the plan followed by Major Hook
and recorded in Ancient. Curious and
Famous Wills" may be commended:
A county newspaper some years
ago recorded the death of Major
Hook and spoke of him as "a singular
character" He died." says the re-
port, "on Monday sennignt at his
house. Ham street, Ham common. He
was an officer in the East India COM
pany's service and reached the age of
Seventy-hve. His house was remark
able for its dingy and dilapidated con-
dition'
His wife had become entitled to a
life annuity. bequeathed to her in
these ambiguous terms: And the
same shall be paid to her as long as
she is above ground" When. there
fore. the good lady died her husband
very naturally objected to forfeit his
Income by putting her below ground
and ingeniously devised mode Of
keeping her in a room which he allot-
ted ito her sole and separate use,"
placing a glass case over her remains.
For thirty years he thus prolonged his
enjoyment, If not of his wife's society,
at least of her income.

A Fifeshire farmer gave his herd

The farmer was greatly surprised to
find his servant in the kitchen long be-
fore the conclusion of the performance,
and upon asking him why he had re-
turned from the recital Jamie replied:
"Weel, maister, ae man yonder began

If you take a notion to settle down

whisked out and back in motorcar
you think to ask how far the house is
from the station the agent carelessly
waves his hand and airily remarks.
"About mile," you had best take heed
MS to what country you are in at the

If it is in England you are all right,
for the familiar 1.760 yards is the
standard, but if you have taken a
fancy to some sod thatched Irish
cottage it means a tramp of 2,240
yards. and if you are moved to linger
in the highlands remember that the
Draw Scot calls 1876 yards a mile.
Considering the size of Switzerland,
one might expect a mile to be about
as far as one could throw a ball, but

it generally is, it is very much uphill.
