Improved Gas Light.

According to the Scientific Ameri-
can, experiments are at present in pro-
gress in Paris as the result Of which
1t is hoped to secure an increased
light efficiency from incandescent gas
burners. Under present conditions
the gas pressure in the mains is suf-
ficient to draw a certain amount of air
into the burner, where it becomes mix
ed with the gas, causing the character
istic blue flame But the amount of
air thus drawn into the flame is only
about three times that of the gas,
whereas, for the best effect, the ration
should be five to one. 1t has been
found that by COMPRISING the gas in
the mains the desirable ratio of air
can be caused to enter the flame. One
of the boulevards in Paris has lamps
working on this system. and the re-
suits are exceedingly satisfactory.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

doc MOipoS Iowa

Des Moines, Iowa.
In respect to temperature and mois-
ture the past week was about all
that could be desired for the adj
vancement of corn and for general
farm work. The lack of moisture is,
however, beginning to retard plow-
ing in some parts of the state. The
temperature was considerable above,
and the rainfall below the normal
until Saturday night when copious
showers occurred in many localities.
Corn made very rapid progress to-
ward maturity, and gives promise of
an exceptionally large yield if no
damaging frost comes before Octo-
Der 10th, which is the average date
|of the first killing frost of autumn
at Des Moines. The effect of dry
weather was beginning to show on
pastures and potatoes, but the show
'ers on the night of August 31st and
September 1st will be of great bene-
fit. Good progress was made in
stacking and thrashing, and prac-
tically all of the small grain is now
in stack or has been threshed.
