the ground that he is an undesirable
alien, and extradition on a warrant
charging him with bribery. The war
rant, already issued in New York
state for his arrest on charge of con-

him, in the opinion of local authori-

hurried from their homes scantily clad
to witness the unusual spectacle.
Asked where he was from, he answer
ed, "From hell"
To the query, "Where are you 60

applied for admittance to the county
Jail early in the evening. He was
finally persuaded to descend and was
placed in the care of physician.

Make Your Own Gas.

Acetylene gives a pure white light,
in which all articles show in their true
colors the same as in the sunlight, and
burns in burners consuming about half
a foot of gas per hour, each burner
giving forth some 20 candle power
light The gas is obtained by adding
water to calcium carbide, which is OBJ
tanned by fusing together ground coke
and lime.
The use of gasoline gas has become
quite common for small to medium
sized plants. 1t is a mixture Of gaso-
line vapor and air, the pure vapor be-
ing impras teal to burn on account of
high pressure being required. While
the gasoline is considered somewhat
dangerous to handle, neglect and care
lessness are a large factor in the mat
ter and common carefulness will rem
der the gasoline safe to handle. There
are different grades of gasoline foi

should have specific gravity of &c
for summer use and 88 for winter.
Many people who live outside the
limits of the gas companies lines dc

The fact that diplomats from som
