Illuminating Gas.

In the Philosophical Transactions
of the Royal Society of London for
1879 is printed a letter, written in
1891, in which the Rev. John Clay
tor details a series of experiments
he made in distilling coal in re-
tort, showing not only that ne had
observed the infammable gases
evolved, but that be had collected
and stored them for some tisae in
bladders. In 1887 Lord Dundonald
made gas from coal. with which he
lighted the hall of CulrosS abbey.
In 1892 Robert Murdoch began the
experiments which resulted in the
establishment of coal gas as an illu-
minating agent. In 1872 he public
ly showed the system he had ma
tured, and in 1898, being employed
in the factory of Boulton & Watt,
Birmingham, he fitted up an appa-
xatus for the manufacture of gas
IN that establishment, with which
it was lighted. This was the first
nse of Illuminating gas except by
way of experiment.

The foregoing statement appears In

STRETCH YOURSELF.
Do IL the First Thing After You Wake
In the Morning.

A splendid thing for the body is
stretching When you first wake
up in the morning, take a good, long
stretcA Stretch the hands as far
out sideways as possible. Then
stretch them over the head as far as
you can reach, and at the same time
stretch the feet downward as far as
you can. Raise the feet and stretch
upward just as high as you can, and
then lower the feet and legs very
slowly.
When you get out of bed, raise
your arms over your head, and,
standing on tiptoe, see how near you
can reach the ceiling. Then walk
about the room while in this posi-
ton. Stand on the right foot and
stretch the right arm forward and
upward as high as you can, while at
the same time the left foot is raised
from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward This is a
fine exercise for the whole body and
is especially good for the waist and
hips, making them firm and strong.
Standing on the left foot this exer-
else can be reversed.
If you have been sitting in the
same position for a long tire read
ing, studying, writing or sewing and
the muscles have become tired and
cramped, the best thing to do is to
get up and stretch. Stretch the
arms upward and outward and for
ward and backward. Lift the shoul-
ders as high as YOU can and drop
them. Expand the chest and
breathe deeply, or, sitting in the
char, stretch the hands upward, lift
the feet from the floor and stretch
them forward as far as possible.
