•X', ABOUT OAH. 1 ,r

At the beginning of this century the lighting of the streets of Loudon was so do'er.tive that, in the richest neighborhoods, every bouse had a lantern with its frame attached to the front rutliiiKM. and, when the wealthy went out the evening, they were always accompanied by a servant carrying a lantern, while the entrances of theatres nnd oilier places of public resort were besieged with torchinen, who saluted every one that lookod as though be might employ theni, with, "Link, yer honor

In those days London and other large cities were infested by tootpads, who plied their profession in the most iriiig manner. Robberies were of nightly ojeurreiiee, and even the ladders of the lamplighters, when they nf. to trim th ir lamj-s midniiilH re often '•borrowed" ly the burg larw.

This sombre state ol things continued to exint for several yarn after the beginning of Ibis t-enuiry, until ga» was introduced into Lomiuit. l)r. ll.ilos was the lirst to obtain ga from stone-coal in 17i!(, but he looked upon it as only a plnlos 'pliical toy, and in tde no attempt to pul it to practical use. 'I'llin honor is reserved for a Seotcliiu in nailed Murdoeh. who, in 17112, made a series ol experiments 011 the (|iiantity and qn.tiiLis ol K!l«es' produced by the distillation of different mineral anil vegetable substam-es. Hisexpt riinents were so mhmts.nIiiI that before the end of the year he succeeded in lighting his bouse and ollloes with the new product.

Mr. Murdoch, and others who entered into competition with him, then began to construct g.is works for supplying lar^o establishments, such as cot-ton-mills, etc. but the plans of Mr. Winsor, who entered the field at this time, were much more comprehensive He proposed to organize a company for furnishing is to light the streets, shops, and (lwolllngs, and to warm apartments.

The proposed innovation met with almost insurmountable opposition but alter perst 'ring for some years, \Vinsor succeeded, in 1813, in forming a company in London. Much prejudice lind, however, vet to be overcome. Napoleon ridiculed It, a tying that it was "Hue gnnde folio." Kven such men a» 8tr vValter Scott and Sir Humphrey I) tvy could not for years become reconciled to It. Sir Walter expressed the opinion that London would be in flames from one end to the other if the absurd Idea were carried out. The parish of St. Margaret. Westminster, was the first to onter into a contract with the new company. In 1814 tho oil-lamps were removed irom the streets of that suburb and gas-lights put In their places.

Paris wus first lighted with gas in 1820. The first attempt to use gas in this oountry was made in Baltimore, in 1818 but the company did not get into successful operation till 1821. Boston introduced gas in 1822, New York in 1827, and Philadelphia In 1835. It is now used in all or nearly all of the larger cities and towns of the Western world.

Attempts have beon made from time to time to manufacture gas on a small scale tor supplying Isolated buildings, residences, etc. The distillation of coal for this purpose is impracticable oh acoouut of the expensive works required and the various processes through which it must pass before it Is fit for consumption. Oil and resin have been principally used instead of coal in these small apparatuses but, owing to the trouble and annoyance of manufacture, as well as to the disagreeable odor arising from the process, they have never come into general use.

On the discovery of petroleum, it was naturally sought to utilise all its products. One of these—the light hydrocarbon thrown off in the process ol distillation—was of little or no value in the market, no use being found for it in the arts. The vapor of bensole had previously boon employed to enrich coal-gas, and a cheap substitute was now offbred, which lea to the invention of machiues for carburettlng atinoe-

with combustible vapor that

will burn precisely like ordinary coal-gas. They dlflVr mainly in the mechanism fbr producing this result— the mode ot forcing the sir through the liquid, the plan for regulating the sup-

lv ef gas to the jets, ect. Serious dlfwere encountered, and, although they genewllv worked wcil at first, they soon failed to supply a satisfactory light. Thecau*e of this was ob vious: it, in nearly every case, was due to the fact that, as a liquid, hydrocarbon, employed is never a homogeneous fluid, but a mixture of various fluids, which volatilise at different temperatures, the volatile- portion passes off verv ranidlv at first, and escapes entirely, toe fe*s volatile portion being behind, and passing on very slowly toward the enu of the process. The result is that, while the light Is at first dull and smoky ftrom the presence of too much carbon, it becomes «ft«r a time pale and blue fhin an insufficiency of the same Important olement.

The remedy tor this defect did not oe» oar to any one nntil the proprietor of "The Uanster Machine-Works" of New York turned his sttentlon to the sub ject, and constructed an apparatus that controlled the supply of liquid hy^mcsrbon. This he *oeompHfhed by connecting with the shaft that drlrw the

air through the gas-machine a/dev 10* whereby definite quantity of liquor is discharged into the vaporising chamber for every cubic foot of air that passes through the pipes. The relative movement of these two parts can be adjusted with the greatest nicety, and no liquid escapes into the chamber ex cept when the machine is in action The vaporizing chamber is so contrived that but a small quantity of liquid is required to impregnate with vapor all the air that may be present. In this manner the available portion of the liquid is completely used as fast as it escapes from the main reservoir, and the two all-important objects are attained—the light is kept uuiform, and the liquid is not ozonised and wasted by being kept for a long time in contact with the air.

The '"Ganster Complete Gas-Works" seem to answer all the requirements of an apparatus for furnishing gas to isolated buildings—ma 1111 factories churches. residences, etc. They are not only safe and durable, but are so simple in construction as to almost preclude the possibility of getting out of order. Indeed. they irk an era in the

artificial illumination.

Keep the Hkad Cook.— Hall's Journal of Health says that the huiuman scalp is often diseased, and intolerable headaches result from wearing the ordinary hat, which excludes the air altogether, aided by the custom of men of keeping the "hair plastered close down upon the scalp with the various forms of hair oils and pomades, which occasion baldness in multitudes. It is of the utmost importance to the health of the hair that the air should be allowed to have free access to every hair and to every root of it. The Indians wear no hats, and a bald-headed Indian is seldom if ever se- n.

Our very life is a sermon. Our birth is the text from which we start. Youth is the introduction to the discourse. During our manhood we lay down a few propositions and prove them. Some of the passages are sprightly, and some are dull. Then come inferences and applications. At seventy years we say'"finally and lastly." The doxologv is sung. Tho benediction is pronounced.

Mustang Liniment made its entree in Missouri, without any flourish of trumpets, and within one year, became Unfavorable embrocation for the external distampers and injuries of horses and cattle in all the Western and Southern States. From that time to this, it has never had a rival in the estimation ol accomplished horsemen nor is its household reputation as a cure for rheumatism, neuralgia, sore nipples and caked breasts, tumors, mumps, sore throat, earache, toothache, bruises, burns, wounds and sprains, it whit behind its celebrity as a horse Liniment. The mothers of America knowits value, and apply it promptly to 'he external injuries of the "rising generation," and in fact there is not a city or township in the United States where the Mustang Liniment is not regarded by both sexes and every class, as a blessing to the community. 4
