SOUTHERN BANNER: APRIL 16, 1878. A Tramp who .Belonged to ! i!ii> «ra« is Burned are the Standsad, the Fraternity. j Fit'lli Avenue, Walluck’s, Union i Square, and Park Theatres, Delmoni- A mted tramp, who has been in j tH) » H Windsor, St. James, Fifth Aven- every Stat« of the Union, was before a Court recently and was sentced to 7 be lockup. It has been rumored that these old tramps are members of -a regularly organized society, arid havft a general understanding with each other. The City Marshal W*s uuthis office when this tramp appear- ed, and, having heard of this tramp .society and read something of its ritual/ thought he would examine the old fellow. The following angular dialogue was the result, proving that he-had caught a full-fledged member of the tramp society : “ Most noble and venerable tramp, from whence came you “ From a Aqwn in New York called New Jerusalem,’’ ) • “ What came.yott hero to do ?” “ To learn to subdue my appetite aud sponge my living by my wits.” “ Are you a regular tramp ?” “So taken arid accepted by my brethren and known wherever I go.” “ Where was you made a tramp?” «A* a regular lodge of tramps, sometimes called the lodge of the vast wilderness.” > - “ How am to recognize you ns a tramp?” a»j.w-ooi» > ♦•By offering- rah a good square meal, so that I need tramp no further, at present, rind by keeping on pro viding meals -- “IIow do you .know yourself to uc, Buckingham, Metropolitan St. Nicholas, Parker and Prescott Hotels. The works are at Forty-fourth, Forty- fifth aud Forty-sixth streets, and the North river, and Mr. Francklyn, the manager of the Cunard Line of steamships, is the capitalist who has supplied money for carrying on the enterprise. It is said that $600,000 is invented. The concern, called the Municipal Gaslight Company, has been in active operation for more than a year. A Sun reporter on Sat urday met one of the directors of the company, and asked him to describe the method cf making the gas, and the prospects of the enterprise. The process was described as follows: “ The foundation of the discovery that water is convertible into burning gas,” this gentleman said, “ is the ex plosion of the old idea that water is an original element. Water is a composition of oxygen and hydrogen, and by subjection to entense heat the water is resolved into its original con stituents, yieleding one volume of oxygen gas and two volumes of hy drogen. The process is a complica ted one, but inexpensive, and the water gas does not cost near so much as the gas made from coal and kero- sine. The first operation in the roan- uiacture of this gas is to heat the water, and next to superheat it to about l,000dcgrees Fahrenheit. The lie a tramp ?” r> ‘" r '~ J water is then passed into generators “By seeking lood, being often j filled with anthracite coal, by incans tired and often denied and ready and j of which it is decomposed into its ETIWAKT DISSOLVED BONE, The highest grade .

Bone produces and ripens Fruit, will remain in the aoil, if not cropped out, on account of drouth, and be available m succeeding crops. Bone is the only material a planter can afford to purchase, and is indispensable.

IChrouicie & Constitutionalist) Some days since we mentioned the fact that a N^w Yorker Ksd discov ered a process for making, gas from water. It is now stated that some practical men have erected works, and for a year past liqve supplied gas in that pity made from Crulcn water. Among the eBtahlishments in which original elements. The oxygen here unites with the carbon front the coal, and the products is carbonic oxide and hydrogen. At this stage a crude burning gas is had, containing sul phur and carbonic acid. To remove these the gas is passed through puri fying boxes, which are immense sieves containing layers of lime.—The sul phur is deposited in the lime, and a corbcnate is mad e by the acid. These impurities removed, the gas next passes into carhuretts—iron cylinders encased in water jackets, on the glue pot principle. These cylinders are half full of naphtha. Tnc naphtha is vaporized by the heat, and the gas takes up this vapor and carries it into the retorts. In the retorts the naph tha vapor is decomposed, ami com bined with the water gas, and the latter is then burning gas, but not ready for the markot. It is next pass ed through condensers and washers to remove any condensible vapors The result is a clear white turning gas, entirely free from odor or smoke, and far more brilliant than ordinary- coal ga«. Its illuminating power is thirty per cent, greater than that of coal gas.” “ How much gas do you make every day?” asked the reporter. “ About 500,<W0 feet,* , “ Isn’t there about as much of oth er kinds of gas in this mixture as 0! what you get out of the Croton wa ter?” “ No ; the gas comes from the wa ter. We treat it with nphatha vapor simply io^ivu it illuminating ppwer. You go and try this gas. Yon can place a sheet of white porcelain with in three inches of the flame, and there will not lie a particle of smoke in three months.” uvi “ Are you selling it any cheaper than the other companies f* “ No; why should We? “We can’t supply the deinnml for it. If <we sought customers that would be a, different thing. We’fcfc -ph** a Mf profit from it now, and we intend to do it.?’ a . The gas, it is said, .costs the com pany only 50 cents pert jiOusand feet, and they sell it for $2. iciri mmI g NUIAKFKU, COTTOXT BUYER, Tocoa City, Ga. Ili£he*t cash price paid for cotton.
