LIGHTING WITH GAS.
And the Young Scotsman Who Wore .
Wooden Hat.

One morning good many years ago
q young Scotsman was shown into
the office of great engineer at Biz
mingham. The young man was wear
ing q hat of extraordinary shape. and
in his nervousness at meeting the man
OF fame he let the hat slip. 1t fell
with hollow thud upon the floor. The
engineer looked with establishment at
the thing. The owner picked it up
and apologiZed for the noise il had
caused. 1t was of wood. he explained.
He had made 1t himself. turning ii
with his fathers lathe.
The engineer thought that there
must be something in a man who could
think out and make such a thing as
this. He forthwith engaged him. kept
an eye upon him and gave him work

dock.
The man with the wooden hat justi-
fed the judgment Of the man who en-
ployed him. After awhile he was sent
away TO Cornwall. and when he re
turned it was to light up his masters
premises with gas. The mind which
first practically applied the coal gas to
the purpose of lighting lived inside
that wooden hat--St- James Gazette.

 Up to the Senate.

The Army and Navy Journal of the 18th of January, tells of the passage by the House of the $iOO,OO0 appropriation asked for by Col. Richardson for the re- rair and construction of trails and roads in Alaska.
 The House committee on mlli- tary affairs, containing some en- emies of Alaska, had the. item stricken from the bill, but it was introduced on the floor by a friendly member of the House; when the bill came up for discus sion, and in open debate the men who have been trying to defeat the appropriation would not come out in the open and take stand.
 The bill is now up to the Sen- ate and will surely pass. Senator Nelson and several other strong members are working with Col. Richardson.
