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.

a report of tbe special committee

mitted differs in some esential
features from the one reported origi
nally by the sub-committee and

tion the representation of the ter
ritories and the District of Colum
bia has been increased from one to
two commissioners from each and
eight commissioners at large. The
commissioners are designated as
the world's fair commissioners.
Section 8 provides for the dedi
cation of the World's Columbian
Exiosition on the 30th day of
April, 1892. Upon the question of
the time for holding the exposi
tion there was a difference of opin
ion among the members of the
committee. The committee had
iven careful consideration to the
statements of the representatives
of the finance Committee of Chi
cago as to the subscription to the
io 0 0,0..0, and believes the sub
cription for the cost of .govern
ment huildings should be limited

made for the government expenses,
and it limits the expenses of the
government after 1891. for all pur
poses connected with the exposi
tion . to the sum of 11,50 ) 000.
This section dispenses with
United States corporation which
it was proposed to lie created bv
congress and also stipulates that
the . commissioners shall he ap
pointed from each state and terri
tory and District of Columbia to
gether with eight commissioners to
be appointed at large, which the
government appropriates for its'
own commission, acting indepen
dently of the oorporation and with
out the power to incur any obliga
tions. The coiuiuision is instructed
by this act to accept the buildings
only when they shall be deemed
adequate for the" purpose for w hich
they are intended. The bill now
provides that the commissioners

IN THE BkNATK.

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.
