OAS FROM WOOD. The Light for a Canadian Towa Obtained Frons Sawdust. North wood (N. Y.) Corr. New Yori Sim. As the Sun has already told, the sole .ruannfacturinv: industry of this locality is that of making charcoal and wool alcohol bv dis tilling wood inclosel iron retorts. The most striking feature of the works in the eyes of a stranger unaccustomed to such things is the method ot illuminating them at night. Pipes run from the retorts to the places w here lights are need ed, and as night comes on the gas from the retorts is allowed to flow- through the pipes and is fired where it comes out. llie light is very much like that from the natural gas wells in Pennsylvania. It is simply the combustion of the gas driven from the hard wood by the application of heat. The company owning the works have used the gas for illuminatingsimply tacause it was convenient. One day last week a ctranger came to town and said that over in Canada he had seen a whole town, Deserdnto, that was illuminated by gas made by distilling wood instead of coal. The facts as he related them are interesting. The gas plant consists of a series of castiron cvlinders placed like boilers in a brick furnace. Near one end ot each cvlinder is a big hopper. The hoppers are kept filled with sawdust brought from a bin by an endless screw that works in a wooden trough. From the hopper the sawdust i's conduct ed by other screws through iron pipes into the retort. There it is taken bv another screw and nn sh ed along to the rear end. Because of the heat of the retort all of the volatile matters in the sawdust are driven off and the wood becomes charcoal when it is ready to be discharged through a pipe at the rear of the retort. The town of Deseronto consumes about 20.000 cubic feet of ran a dav. To produce this requires the dis tilling 01 two tons ol dry sawdust. A cord of wood furnishes sufficient fuel to do the work. Tests of tho lights of ordinary gas burners show that the gas is from twelve to fifteen candle jxwer. The gas does Dot cost to exceed 40 cen ts a thousand feet. THE WORLDS " FAIR.

IN THE BkNATK. Ill the senate to-day Vice-President Morton occupied the chair. The resolution offered by Voor hecs Monday as to the agricultural depression was taken up ani Voorhees addressed the senate. He characterized the protective tariff as a curse. The farmers of the United States to-day, he said, did not receive on an average more than 10 cents a bushel for corn, 50 cents for wheat and 2 to 3 cents per tound for hos. Every pre tense of a home market for the farmer was a fraud and every pre tense of taxing, wheat, oats and potatoes for his benefit was a cheat and a sham. He said that it is not an exaggeration of the truth to say that the tariff as it now stood increased the expense account of the farmer from 4J to 50 per cent. He did not believe the hands of a farmer would hold a republican ticket at the next presidential elec tion. Not only had there been no increase in the value of Ian in the last quarter of a century, but there had been an absolute loss of 33 per cent. Ohio farms are now under mortgages amounting to $300,000 ,.00. In Illinois 23 per cent, of the whole face of the state is under m irtgage, thev amounting to $4a2,000.000.
