Show EDI edl editorials T 0 RIALS AIR GAS tun tue sheffield england correspondent of the yron iron age says that mr wright of that town the tile inventor and patentee of the tile new air gas for lighting and eating heating li purposes is engaged in procuring patents for ills liis invention all over the world the correspondent states that on the of march a further experimental trial was wm made of the gas in tile tilo presence of a number of practical gentlemen including several of the tiie leading sheffield manufacturers P who wiio had llad been 1 invited to witness tl tile ie experiments which were conducted in the tile yard of white chite and henderson tenderson 1 silversmiths elcho eicho works work 5 burgess street sheffield flold among the experiments were the creation and steady maintenance of a flame of the gas mease measuring boilers rin six bix ll 11 ix by four feet for heating eating li boilers of any construction st liard hard soldering by silversmiths brazing and work usually done with a blowpipe aud and blast with a strong atmospheric pressure behind the tile vile heat emitted from a three inch nozzle was intense and from a perforated iron plate 60 mao powerful as to be capable of heating a boiler of almost any size and whether cylindrical or tubular the trial was considered most satisfactory it is esti estl estimated mated that the cost of heating boilers oil on this plan would not be more than ono one twentieth or at most one fifteenth of tile the present expenditure with coal or coke tor for illuminating purposes the gas can be adapted to tile the present coal gas pipes lile ille burners burnos an and ot other er fittings it 1 8 ph t though ouch the air gas burns b best es t 1 with 11 perfo perforated ted argand burne burners rs the inventor is convinced that fo for r shipping blast or f furnaces ur naces boilers bollers smelting smelling sm elting metals and similar purposes it must be speedily adopted where a steam vessel now carries several hundred tons of coal for a voyage she can s stow tow away materials for the gas for tile the whole time in a very small space and at comparatively little cost thus the use of the air gas would have prevented the awful atlantic disaster the air gw gas is produced without the aid of coke or coal or any other kind of fuel being a chemical distillation made from a very plentiful and cheap material properly mingled with atmospheric air the apparatus used for generating the gas occupies a space of four or five square feet and contained according to mr wright about feet of the gas and air bombina nation costing for heating purposes about five pence per thousand feat and leaving no ashes nor other residuum for ordinary lighting purposes the inventor produces but of course does not supply a superior gas at about sixpence per thousand feet believed to give a clearer and purer light than coal gas an eminent london analytical chemist is of the opinion that i the tile g gas is quite free from sulphur that it cannot emit any deleterious fumes thatis that it is in noway calculated to injure picture frames gilding curtains etc indeed that it is utterly innocuous if the representations made of mr fr wrights air gas and of mr bucks kucks water gas both english intentions Tent dent ions lons are true the days or nights of coal gas are surely numbered and any further furt lier iier alarm over the fuel question mustgrove must prove short lived need MEED BE NO TROUBLE tin THE sentiment was expressed in yesterdays yesterday il NEWS that if the tiie judiciary of the territory would do their duty honestly and impartially Y without prejudice to any party or person the there thero I 1 ile would be no particular troubie trouble trouble troubie in in utah that is true enough and seeing the tiie signal I 1 failure of those judges who for the last three years have ilav been 0 operating more or less in a contrary spirit the idea suggests itself that it would be the best policy for new appointees to reject the prejudiced policy and strive to be in deed and in truth honest impartial judges without prejudice against or bias toward either Mor mormon mony or gentile without any other mission without any other purpose in the discharge of their official duties than to administer the law in the tile obvious spirit and intent thereof in the obvious spirit and intent of the tile constitution and guil a as s f far ar as practicable in the spirit of justice with such euch manifestation of mercy as is allowable and is plainly consistent consi stunt with and conducive to the tiie public good it is hard to believe that a course of this kind has lias been the aim of tile the large maj mij arity of tile the utah j judiciary ciary it I 1 is much easier to believe from what we know of the community at large that if such a course wae were to be taken and resolutely persisted in by the tile utah judiciary no territory or state would be more moro peaceable nor have fewer judicial difficulties than thau this As things go the tha first thing that chaum in presses the tile other than superficial observer is that eliat there is a decided and never satis satisfied fied lied desire deslie among official officials sto to create difficulty boex to excite and establish a conflict which should force congressional it if interference in the them hope that such sueh interference would give one portion and that a small minority of the community a clear and unjust advantage over the rest this is the germ orall ot all ail the tile difficulty all the trouble troubie all the conflict all the excitement jn in or over uta utah with which the ear of the public has been saluted buted BO so much more or less for two or three years pst past it if tile the judiciary in the past had been half as eager to discharge their judicial duties faithfully and impartially without reference to religion or to politics or plunder a as the they y have been to hatch conflicts ali acts contrive political assil issues es and b bring abou about exciting crises the them administration of the law would w ouid have havo gone along like clockwork clock work the courts would have been universally respected and tile the officers thereof honored and congress and the administration would have been sav saved cd all their anxious thought upon the situation in utah when judicial matters get into snarls and tangles in this territory it will usually be found that not the people but the court courts are in fault A scientific COU COUNTER T E 9 BLAST PRoVEs protessor sor son jonn JOHN LIZARS of tile tiie royal colle college colled d of Sur surgeons geotis has published a small work on tobacco after a very thorough scientific investigation into the merits and demerits cements of the weed he comes to the conclusion as the disappointed husband did ie legard garding mg his wife wile e 11 that it is all worse and no better by chemical analysis the professor finds that tobacco contains abarge a large lange proportion of a colorless liquid alkaloid with an acrid burning i taste f one of the most intense se of all poisons approaching in a its activity the strongest preparation of prussic acid another constituent of tobacco is also aiso f a poison of deadly power powen by long experience and close observation the professor is satis satisfied nned fled i that the physiological effects of tobacco are ruih ruif ruinous hous ious in fil the th last degree but the physical injury resulting from its use is by n no means the greatest because a danger of far greater interest to those concern concerned in the preservation offee of the 1 individual is the odthe of the human mind the loss of the power of intelligence hud and of moral inoel energy in a word of the vigor of the intellect the professor gives his opinion that tobacco in all its forms ia a most deleterious drug 11 arid and lie dwells particularly oil oh the the evil of smoking in early youth he ile cites a large number of cases of paralysis heart disease and other organic disorders chused caused by tiie tile use of this noxious weed one of the strangest things in all human experience is the proneness of humanity to adopt evil and injurious habits of which the ue use of tobacco is one it is a habit that binds those who adopt it in chains of slavery from which escape is very difficult and with some apparently impossible the adoption of the tiie habit by any one is a stigma a disgrace rather than a credit it is not a thing to boast or he be proud of but to be ashamed of because it is a habit injurious to the possessor a and nd offensive to others it if is therefore worthy of censure and not approval a the formation of a habit of this tilis kind should be avoided specially by the young as a deadly enemy SQUABBLES an N HIGH places PLACED caleb Cush ings book upon the washl washington noton nuton treaty and the geneva award deflects reflects severely upon lord chief justice
