Origin Of Humbue.

1t is not generally known that
the word "humbug," long SO much
in vogue, is of Scottish origin. There
was in olden time a race called
Bogue or Boag of that ilk in Ber-
wickshire. A daughter Of the family
married a son Of Hume. In process
Of time, by default Of male issue,
the Bogue estate devolved on one
Geordie Hume of the Bogue, or
rather "Hum O. the Bug" He was
inclined to the marvellous and had
a vast inclination to exalt himself,
his wife, family, brother and all his
ancestors on both sides. His tales,
however, did not pass current, and
at last, when any one made an ex-
traordinary statement in the Near
us, the nearer would shrug up his
shoulders and style it just ga hum
O the bug" This was shortened
into humbug, and the word soon
spread over the whole kingdom

ing value, where a few years ago the
demand was principally for illuminat-
ing power. This change has been
brought about by the increased use of
gas for cooking and in the arts. Coal
gas should have q heating value Of
not less than $50 British thermal units
per cubic foot, while water gas is usu-
ally higher. In many towns a com
bination Of coal gas and water gas is
used. For instance. in New York.
where this plan is adopted. recent tests
made showed an average of 1862 Brit
1sh thermal units and an average illu-
minating power of 2S.S c~andlepower.
Water gas is produced by the de-
composition Of steam in contact with
incandescent carbon. The process con
sists in alternate "blows' with air to
heat the fuef and runs" with steam.
which is decomposed by the incandes-
cent fuel, continuing to form water
gas until the temperature becomes too
low. necessitating another period Of
heating.

the fuel in the generator is burned by
the air blast only to a sufficient degree
of heat to form principally carbon
monoxide. Another process much in
vogue in Europe produces about twice
as much water gas for the same
amount Of fuel. In this process the
volume Of air during the blows is SO

the apparatus is so designed that in.
stead Of carbon monoxide carbon diox.

the heat from the fuel that is devel.
oped when It is burned only to carbon
monoxide. In this process coke H.
therefore converted into water gas

Of the heating value Of the fuel.
1t IL the practice abroad to use seam.
less welded steel tubing for the dis.
tributing muins instead Of cast iron
pipe. The steel pipes have for gas
mains the advantages similar to the
use Of steel pipes for water mains, al
ready pointed out. They are lighter in
weight. easier to handle. have fewer
joints, are not subject to breakage and
when laid are free from leakage. be-
sides lasting longer.
What has been said about the gen.
eral arrangement Of water mains and
bypassing is equally applicable to gas
mains in order to prevent leakage and
Inconvenience. Where gas pipes enter
buildings there should be accessible
cut-of valves. SO that in case Of fire
the fire department may cut of the
gas for that particular building.

Gas, one of the Oldest Of modern

pressed by the advance of electricity.
has reached a point beyond which 1t
is not likely to be driven. This is
principally due to the fact that great
inventions have been made, producing
a marked Improvement in the brillian-
cy Of gas lighting, and to the develop
ment of the use Of gas for heating.
As IN the case of steam power plants.
gas plants should be located or a wa.

Owing 10 the great size Of the hold
ers, gas plants have never been made
acceptable in an architectural sense,
and they should therefore be located in
the outskirts Of the city or in factory

STORY OF 4 LOAN.
A Case Whore the Statute Of limita-
tions Was Not Considered.

~ ~sSS ~ wv
tons Vas Not Considered.
A we'll known Kansas banker
some years ago told a story about
the statute of limitations. There is
a smile in it, plus some good phi
losophy.
One day an old southerner walk
ed into this bankers Office. The
southerner was a typical gentleman
of the old school, suave, courteous
to the point of punctiliousness and
honorable to a degree of martyr
dom.
"What can l do for you?" asked
the banker.
"We]l," replied the southerner,
"about thirty-five years ago l loan
ed a man down south some money
not a very big sum. ] told him
that whenever I should need it I
would let him know and he could
pay me the money. l need some
money now, so 1 shall let him know,
and l would like to have you trans
act the business for me-"
"My good FRIEND" replied the
banker, "you have NJ claim on that
money. You can't hold that man
to that loan. You say it has. been
thirty-ive years since you loaned it
to him? The statute Of limitations
has run against that loan years and
years ago."
"sir:" replied the southerner,
"the man to whom I loaned that
money is a gentleman. The statute
Of limitations never runs against a
gentleman"
So the banker sent for the
money, and within a reasonable
time thereafter the money came.
There was a courtly gentleman at
the other end of the transaction
also.-Kansas City Journal.
