Cheaper Gas in. Prospect.
After comforting with officials in

Petersburg Gas Company, offers rcduc.
lions in the price of gas which may
prove satisfactory. A reduction Of $
cents on the 1000 feet on January

July ], 1872, and still further gradual
reductions thereafter on certain condi-
lions. are the propositions offered. The
conditions are for increased consunn-

One of the wonders of the vegetable
kingdom is undoubtedly the Candle

as Parmentiera cerifera. This tree,
says Prof H. F. Macmillan in the
Strand Magazine, produces from its
stem ard older branches a great pro-
fusion Of yellowish, cylindrical. smooth
fruits, ~ to 10 inches long, which ap-
pear exactly like wax candles, as the
botanical name implies. So close Is
this resemblance that travellers, seeing
tho tree for the first time, are liable
to he temporarily puzzled as to wheth-

CUTTING IRON BY AcETYLENE
Intense Heat Has Recently Been Used
In Marvellous Tool, Results Seem.
ing Like Magic.

Most of our young folks have seen
pictures projected on screen by an
oxyhydrogen "limelight" stereopticon.
In this double magic lantern" a
bright light is produced by the in
tense heat Of burning oxygen and hy-
drogen together against small cylin-
der of lime. The heat makes the lime
shine very brightly, on the same
principle that a piece of iron glows
when the blacksmith takes it from
his forge. Though this familiar form
of burning gases is very hot, it is far
eXcelled in heat by burning acety-
lene Ga gas) in oxygen.
This intense heat has recently been
used in marvellous tool, the results
of which seem almost if not quite
like magic. The -Bournonville
company has perfected torch that
burns oxygen and acetylene together
and makes it convenient to apply this
intense heat to cutting off or welding
iron.
Running this penlike flame across a
thick sheet of iron melts very mar
row strip and cuts 1t off about as you
might cut sheet of ice with a red
hot poker. 1t will also melt the edges
of two sheets or blocks of iron and
enable mechanic to fasten them to-
gether easily. Huge iron castings
that have been broken may be re-
paired by running the flame around
the edges of the fracture and stick

For Your Hands.

A cooked potato is excellent as a
means of cleaning and whitening the
hands. The potato should be cut in
half and rubbed over the backs and
fingers after they have been soaked
for minute or two in warm water.
Potato should be used in this manner
instead of soap.
If the hands have become very
much stained with ink. they should be
rubbed with lemon juice. Should
this fail to remove the stains, good
plan is that of adding a little pearl
ash to water and dipping the hands in
the solution, rubbing them we'll with
a piece of flannel until the marks
have disappeared. Care must be TAX
en- to avoid washing them with soap
for some time afterward or the spots
will reappear.

There are only few powders which
are non-injurious to the skin
The majority tend to block up the
pores and create an unhealthy action

remedied.
To test powder put some into wa

water are the ones to avoid.
Glycerin and ointments of greasy

The ribbon that is on my hair,

Although for me it's out of sight.
In bows and ends my sash is tied;
For me it's on the other side,

COPPER ORE RUNS s4s PER TON

w, A. Carson was in the city last
night on his way to Denver from his
copper mine on Bear creek.
Mr.. Carson says that the Bell Ham
ilton company are shipping some very
nice ore, and are busy as possible
pushing development work ON their
properties.
He has just completed cross cut
on his own property of twenty-five
feet at the end of tunnel one hun
dred and sixty-five feet long. The
ore gives very nice returns. aver
aging $4S per ton.
We saw some samples of the ore
including some metallic copper from
the grass roots, some specimens of
gray copper and some native copper
which is high grade. The gray copper
which is said to be sulphide, contains
about 2l per cent of lime, which makes
1t a desirable ore for smelling.
This morning Mr.. Carson departed
for Denver to make some special tests
and look after certain matters which
have to do with the development of
his mine on larger scale.

Secretary Fisher of the department
of the interior is returning from a
trip to Alaska where he has been
gathering first hand information con-
cerning the conditions that prevail
there in respect to the public domain
ard the best ways for it's legitimate
development. Clifford Pinchot has just
started on a trip to Alaska to see what
he can see. Mr.. Fisher is an ardent
conservationist, but is also blessed
with many and excellent practical
iGeas on the subject. Mr.. Pinchot's
particular forte in the conservation
arena is concerned with theories, gen.
orally of the impractical sort. The
orists are pretty nifty in supporting
their contentious with data. Undoubt-
edly Mr.. Pinchot is on hunt for data
to combat any of the practical plans
that Secretary Fisher may suggest
which will make possible the develop
ment of Alaska.
