Cheap and Superior Gas.

Parties in Pennsylvania have for some time past been producing a gas for illuminating purposes, the quality of which they claim is far superior for the use named than any other now made, and can be manufactured at about one-half the cost. The result is reached by means of a feeder and a number of letorts, the latter being kept at a certain d%rce of heat, and the oil is forced through them into a tank which is kept full of water. By means of this simple arrangement the desired object is attained, the gas is formed by the contact of the heated oil and water, and from this tank passes on to another—the supply tank—ready for consumption. Tiie suicides and defalcations in Berlin ought to warn Kaiser Wilhelm that Germany is overstrained. But will he be wise in time?
