* A Simple Explanation of the v.hj*' inuf minuting Gns Is Made. Bow few people can intelligibly explain some of tlio most ordinary tilings in every day life., An official of the city gas works was heard to say. not long ago that if lie might judge by the number of times he was asked for information, not moro than two people in ten know how common illuminating gas is made. They nil shorn to 'understand, ho said, tiiat it comes out of soft coal, but they nro ignorant, of the process by which it is extracted. Wo do not doubt this at all, for it is tho common tilings that wo nro apt to overlook in our search for infor mation. Now, let us give you a simple explana tion of gas making. Break up a pieco of bituminous coal into small fragments and . fill the bowl of n clay tobacco pipe with them. Cover tho mouth of the bowl with wet clay and then thoroughly dry it. Put the bowl of tho pipe into a fire where it will get red hot, and you will soon see a yellowish smoko come out of tho stem, and if you touch a light to tho smoko it will burn brightly, for it is nothing moro or less than the gas from the coal. You can purify and collect this gas in a simple way. Fill a botSo with water and turn it upside down in a bowl of water. You know the water will not run out of tho bottlo because tho air pres sure on tho water in tho bowl will pre vent It. Put tho end of the pipo stem under tho mouth of tho bottle, and tho gas will bubble up through the water into tho bottle, gradually displacing tho water, and if tho pipo were largo enough to mako a great deal of gas the bottlo would he entirely idled with it. * You havo seen the immense quantities of coko which they havo at tho gas - works; that is what is left of the coal after the gas has been burned out of it. Coko fa carbon, only a small part of what was in the .coal having gone of! with the gas. Take tho cloy covering oiT your pipo and you will And tho bowl tilled with this coke. Now, that fa precisely tho way gas is made in large quantities at the gas works. I Instead of .pipo bowls they use big re torts, and these aro heated red hot furnace, for tho firo must bo outside of tho retorts. Heating coal red hot i: closed retort is different from burning it in tho open air. A largo pipo from tho retort carries off the product of tho coal, consisting of steam, tar, air and ammo nia, os well as gas. Tlio ammonia and the tar go into tanks, and tho gas into coolers, and then over lime, which take3 up the acids in it into tho immenso iron gas holders which you havo seen at tho works. Theso holders aro'open at tho bottom, and stand, or rather swing, in tanks of water, being adjusted by means of weights. jVs tho gas comes into them they rise up out of the water, but tlio bottoms nro always submerged, bo that the gas cannot escape. Tho largo gas pipes, or mains os they aro called, con nect with the holders and conduct tho gas through tho streets to tho houses whero it is used. Tho pressuro fa given to tho gas by tlio weight of tho iron hold ers, which aro always bearing down on tho gas they contain.

Milk fa not always admirable as a din- ner drink, especially when fish plays any part in tho menu. Tea or coffee taken with meat fa simply suicidal. Those hot beverages turn tho mcab-into something resembling leather, and tho result inter- feres sadly with digestion. Tho man who desires long lifo must not givo a placo to “high tea” in his daily programme. Of tea itself it can only b • said that it fa harmless if not taken too often or inado too strong. The American lady who after several calls' and u cup of tea at each remarked that she could ••always worry down another cup” was prolmbly unaware of the mischief she was doing herself. No one need totally abstain from tea if thoy only take the precaution to buy it good, not to make it strong, not to let it infuse long, never to take it more than twice a day and to abjure it after 5 in the afternoon. Tho morning tub is indispcnsablo to all who wish to live a long and healthy life.. It fa truo that thcro havo lieen centena rians who have known nothing of this luxury, but their longevity lias been iu spite of that fact, i because of it. Tlio bath is good, hut not too much Imth.
