Where Gas Is Cheap.

From the n. Y. Journal of Commerce.
British cities owning their gas
works are supplying artificial gas to
their residents at a price as low as %
cents a thousand cubic feet. United
States Vice-Consul William Force
Stead at Liverpool relates that the
Town Council of Widnes, near Liv-
erpool, is preparing to enlarge the
municipal plant, now worth 100000.
The enlargement is necessary owing
to the great demand for gas. Thirty
one years ago the plant had con-
sumption of 62,000000 cubic feet. This
year the estimated consumption will
be 520,000,000 cubic feet. Widnes is a
manufacturing centre for chemicals,
with a population close to $4,000.
The Consular report says:
1.-The price of gas to the consumer
at Widnes is said to be the lowest in
the United Kingdom. While the rate
in 1883 was &C cents to IS cents for
1000. at present it is % cents to con-
sumers of 100000 cubic feet or more
a year, and % cents to ordinary con-
sumers. The number of consumers in
1881 was 700, whereas last year the
number was 1880, Although the con-
sumption of gas has increased by
eight times, the gross capital has
only increased two and a half times
from S284,5 O4 to $6S0,040. The capacity
of the present plant is a little over
100000 cubic feet a day. The plant
comprises 203 horizontal retorts,
operated by manual labor. The ca
pacity of the new plant will be g.

What City Children Lack

That the home, and especially the
city home, is in grave danger, is the
contention of Margaret Woodward.
In discussing the home life of the
average city child, she says:
There is little home corppanionship
for the oity-bred child. Fathers
business calls him downtown daily.
With the Tightening of manual labor,
mother finds time to engage in social,
charitable and literary work outside
her home. Oftentimes her children
and her home become objects of sec
ondary importance. The younger
children are left in charge of irrespon-
sible nurse girls and the older ones
never expect to find either parent
when they come home from school. A
loss of sympathy grows out of this
loss of companionship. The children
select their friends and confidants out
side the home circle, Both parents
are usually out evenings Being men,
bers of clubs, their time is largely di-
vided between these functions and
theatre parties. Suburban Life.

wrapped in big gray comforter
pouring his very life into his work.
The story is not unfamiliar to many
of us of the New York sportsman
who, in answer to an advertisement,
sent twenty-five cents for sure
recipe to prevent a shotgun from
scattering, ana received the follow
ing: Dear sir: To keep a gun from
scattering put in but single shot."
This age of concentration calls, not
for educated men merely, not for tall
ented men, not for geniuses, not for
jacks -all-trades, but for men who
are trained to do one thing as we'll
as it can be done.
Try and come home somebody"
said his mother to Gambetta as she
sent him off to Paris to school. Pow
erty pinched this lad hard in his lit
tie garnet study and his clothes were
shabby, but what of that? He had
made up his mind to get on in the
world. For years he was chained to
his desk and worked like hero. At
last his opportunity came. Jules
Favre was to plead a great cause
on certain day; but, being Ill, he
chose this young man, absolutely un-
known, rough and uncouth, to take
his place. For many years Gambetta
had been preparing for such an Op-
portunity, and he was equal to it.
He made one of the greatest speeches
that up to that time had ever been
made in France That night all the
papers in Paris were sounding the
praises of this ragged, uncouth Bo-
hemian, and soon all France recog-
nized him as the Republican leader.
This sudden rise was not due to luck
or accident. He had been steadfastly
working and fighting his way up
against oppositions and poverty for
just such an occasion. Had he not
been equal to it 1t would only have
made him ridiculous. What a strife;
yesterday poor and unknown, living
in a garnet; today, deputy elect in
the city of Marseilles, and the great
Republican leader!
The man who succeeds has a pro-
gram. He fixes his course and adheres
to it.. He lays his plans and ex-
ecutes them. He goes straight to his
goal. He is not pushed this way and
that every time a difficulty Is thrown
in his path; if he can not get over
1t he goes through it. Constant and
steady use of the faculties under a
central purpose gives strength and
power. while the use of faculties
without an aim or end only weakens
them. The mind must be focused on
definite end. or like machinery
without balance wheel, it will rack
itself to pieces.
To fix a wandering life and give5it
direction is not an easy task, but la
life which has no definite aim is sure
to be frittered away in empty ana
purposeless dreams. "Listless trifiers,'
"busy idlers." purposeless busy
bodies" are seen everywhere.A
A healthy, definite purpose is
a remedy for thousand
ills which attend aimless lives.
Discomfort and dissatisfaction
flee before a definite purpose. What
we do begrudgingly without a pur-
pose becomes a delight with one, and
no work is well done nor healthily
done which is not enthusiastically
done.

Giant Lathe for Big Guns.

From the American Machinist.
All who are not familiar with the
large guns used for seacoast defense
can hardly appreciate the huge size
of lathe necessary to turn and bore
them. The lathe being designed and
built for the United States naval gun
shop at Washington, d. c., by the
Niles Bement-Po Company, at the
Bement works, is the largest made
The lathe is so long that preparations
for its installation include the con-
struction of a tunnel extending out
under a highway, as there was not
room for it between the walls of the
shop.
. The lathe bed itself is IT'S feet long
and is made in five sections, but the
total overall length, including pro-
jections at the end of the bed, brings
it up to 1876 feet. The main portion
of the bed on which the carriages
travel has three broad shears, the
total width being nine feet and the
length 1903 feet. The rest of the bed
extends under what is called the bor-
ing bench, which has two shears. The
total width of this is 5 feet inches
and the length 70 feet The weight of
the machine complete with electrical
equipment is 400 tons.
