She was in a very weak condition but refused to take foed and only swallowed some water. In a letter to the newspapers Mary MacSwiney who has been on a hun- ger strike for 20 days, says that her| sister received the sacrament on| Wednesday and was given Ixtremc Unction. Mary now refuses visits from the prison doctors and nurses. She is| attended day and night by her fellow prisoners. coats, TAKE TALKING LESSONS London, Nov. 24.—Many women, vi- | tally interested in politics, are taking | lessons in public speaking in order to be ready to participate in the coming general eloction, A well-known woman elocutionist, who has been teaching members of pariiament and prominent men how to speak for 20 years, says that women learn to speak more easily than do men, and that the erage ability to speak among the women coming to Her is remarkably good. While this professor has 1o cure diffidence in men, she says she has to counteract excessive boldness in many of her women students, .| ducting the gas through | the neighborhood with dismay, DISCOVERY OF GAS STEP IN PROGRESS {Its Utilization Was Extremely Im- portant, Says Otility Committee Chicago, Nov. 24,—The discovery | and utilization of gas marked the most Important step in the progress of modern illumination, according to the Illinols Committee on Public | Utility, | Although gas was discovered nhnul: the middle of the seventeenth cen-| tury, it was fiot until in the Jatter years of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth that man learned how to make it serve . usoful purpose, members the committee stated. (Gas was the first public utility. Later came electriclty, the ‘telephone and the electric railway. These dis- coveries have made possible; during the last century, greater progress and development than in all the thousands of years of elvilization that pr(‘ccd('ll1 it. of | Man's cternal search for riches and ! the futile endeavors of alchemists to change the baser metals into gold led to the accidental discovery of arti- ficial gns. Although alchemy was a | fruitless effort, it kept alive a spirit! of inquiry regarding the metals that later’ led to many important discov- eries. John Baptist van Helmont of Brus- sels studied and practiced medicine and later turned to chemistry and re- search work in the seventeenth cen- tury. In the course of his experi- ments with fuels in 1609 he discov.—i | ered that they yielded what he de- scrived as “a wild spirit.”” He found that this “spirit” could be produced by means of combustion, fermentation and the action of acids on limestone. So phantom-like and elusive was van Hetmont’s discovery that he named it after ‘‘geist,” the old Ger- |} man word for spirit. It was nearly 200 years after van Helmont's discov- ery that practical steps were taken to harness this elusive spirit. Natural gas was found several years later in England, one of the first de- scriptions of this being that of Thomas Shirley, in which he men- tions that his attention was directed to what was considered to be a spring | ‘“where the water did burn like oyle” and “did boyle and heave like water in a pot.” On investigation he found this to “arise from a string breath, as it were, a wind which ignited on the approach of a lighted candle” and “did burn bright and vigorous.” Dr. John Clayton, a Yorkshire min- ister with a predilection for the sciences, robbed the spirits of some of its elusive qualities by experiments between 1660 and 1670. Heating “shelly coal” in a closed vessel he found that a “spirit which issued out caught fire at the flame of a candle.” He amused his friends by collecting the gas in bladders and prickling holes in them with a pin, then light- ing the gas with a candle. ° William Murdock, in 1792, by dis- tilling coal in an iron retort and con- ‘tinned and coppered: tubes, succeeded in lighting his home at Redruth in Cornwall. Later he built an appar- atus on a larger scale and lighted the factory of James Watt, developer .of the steam engine, for whom he was construction and erection engineer. Murdock was regarded as a queer young man. He was addicted to wearing wooden hats, and also made a lantern by fixing a tube in the neck of a gas-filled bladder. The sight of him wandering about the streets at night with this strange beacon filled and some of the good people suspected him of being in league with Lucifer and a person to be avoided. On May 18, 1894, Frederick Albert Winsor, a German, obtained the first English patent for gas-making pur- poses. The first public street lighting with gas took place in Pall Mall, Lon- don, January 28, 1807, In April, 1812, Parliament granted charter to this company, “The London and Westmin- ster Gas, Light & Coke company,” and thus the first gas company in the world came into being.

Dallas, Nov. 24.—Texas holds the record for the highest individual catch of predatory animals made by one hunter in one month. The hunt- er, who was working near Eagle Pass, in Maverick county, caught 104 coy- otes and 10 bobcats in 24 days actual trapping operations. This work was a part of the effort of the Biological Survey to help { ranchmen in the control of danger- ous and destructive animals through- out the state. Previous to September, 1021, state funds were available for this purpose; but since that timg only funds from the federal appropriation, amounting to $15,100, have been available to carry on the work. Individual stockmen, or groups of stockmen in clubs who wish to ob- tain protection of their own interests, have agreed to pay two-thirds of the salary of the hunters assigned to their | various territories, and the other third is paid from federal funds. In this way about 20 hunters can be re- tained on the force. AIn addition to trapping, shooting and hunting with dogs, a great many predatory ani- mals have been destroyed by means of poison baits.
