Illumlnant Was First Looked Upon with Much Alarm. Oas, as a practical Illumlnant.

pasted Its century mark on January 28 On that day in 1807 there was In London a new and singular spectacle, according to the account of a visitor "the whole rango of Pall Mall, from St James' to Cotkspur street, was lighted up bv means of lamps fed wtth gas Instead of cotton and oil, and cer talnly In a stvle of much supeilor brilliancy 1 his was the first iuManee of street lighting by coal gas in Lon don. or In any other city The merit of the enterprise is due to Wlnsor, a German company promoting expert who was especially Interested In the question of economic fuel Hia pamph lets, however, contained so much ex travagant fanaticism and quatkery that thev retarded rather than fur thered his schemes, which met with an extraordinary amount of opposl tion, even from enlightenf I people Sir Walter Scott wryte that there was a madman proposing to light Lon don with smoke. Awful consequences were predicted The gas would poi son the air and blow up the Inhabit ants, it was explosive, dangerous, of fensive and unmanageable, the pipes conveying it would be hot and apt to produce conflagrations The lamplight ers to a man opposed the new mode of street lighting, and it is cuiious to notice the great hesitation as to its poa sihility expressed in contemporary scientific and popular literature When a chartered company was at length formed in 1810, the sharehold ers were pifled as idiots, and David Pollock, for 30 years its governor, received some extraordinary answers in doggerel rhyme from otherwise sober and staid individuals whom be had asked to take shares An Old Time Playful Prisoner. The centenary has been noted re cently in London of what the Annual Register called a most unparallelled atrocity it was only the theft of a pocket handkerchief from a pocket, but the circumstances of the deed ex plain the vehemence of this denunciation. Four men were on their trial for assaulting a man in his house at Ponder End, putting him in fear and stealing from him, and one of them relieved the tedium of the trial, which lasted eight horns, by picking the pocket of one of the turnkeys as he stood in the dock An official had the presence of mind to order tFie restoration of the handkerchief, and the prisoner obeyed, "with the most careless indifference, but the court, we read, weie horror-struck Justice, however, pulled Itself together sufficiently to sentence all four men to death.

Lost His Nose. A butcher in New Orleans sent his apprentice boy with two knives to he sharpened. After a keen edge had been placed on them, the boy parted back for the shop. On the way ke began tossing one of the knives In the air, the same as he had seen a juggler do. He didnt prove to be much of a juggler, however.

After the third or fourth toss the knife came down and cut his nose off as slick as you please, and he was rushed to a hospital. They are going to make him a nose of wax to replace the one he lost, but he wiH have to be very careful how he lets other folks pull it Chile Welcome Japanese. In Chile, at any rate, the Japanese Immigrant is made welcome. The Chilean government offers considerable Inducements to agricultural and fishing immigrants. Forty acres of rich land are given outright each settler; 0 more to each son 18 years of age or more; a yoke of oxen, a set of farm implements and $15 a month in cash for the first year.

This Is regarded as an excellent Inducement to the Japanese farmer to leave bis little farm of sometbfhg less than an acre and go to Chile. Moreover, a practical monopoly ot tbe entire fishing Industry of a country having 8.000 mties of coast abounding in- splendid fish, but practically without a fishing class, bolds out an additional bait to a people versed in sea fishing. tk Tw 4 VffUi tiljlr Im lf UmCvn Itohark W.llibf nl New Yetk town today.
