The First Gas-lit Street.

~ HE first street to be illuminated
by gas was Golden Lane. in Lon
don, where the new method OF
lighting was first used Angus,
10. 1907. Pail Mall was lighted by gas In
1909. and between 1913 and 1870 the sys-
tenn was installed throughout London.
Gas lighting was introduced in New
York in 1873 and in Paris in 1919. The
first experiments with Illuminating gas
were made in 1872 by Mr.. Murdoch, in
Cornwall England. In 1903 the Lyceum
Theater, in London. was lighted with
gas, and in the following year a Man
chester mill adopted the system. The
cost of illuminating gas continued high
until kerosene and electricity forced a
gradual reduction. In 1860 the price per
1000 cubic feet ranged from $50 In
Pittsburgh to s.. Philadelphia had the
lowest rate of any big city except Pitts
burgh. Sis. In New York and Boston
the rate was $3.50, and a $3.50 rate pre-
vailed in Chicago. st. Louis, Detroit,

The woman soon became tired
of the picture because, as she declared

other artist and asked him to paint a
man or a woman on the road that ran
through the middle of the, picture. says
the Philadelphia Record.
The artist did so and when he met
the man who had painted the original
work he told him what he had done.
