shako the city from center to circum
ference. The greater part of the

heat the generator. The company
uses the Lowe process for the manu
facture of gas from koroseno. It is
known as the Wilkosbarre gas-com
pany. The loss will reach $10,000.

at the moment , perhaps. Others ,
who had ample opportunities of ob
servation allege there was no appa.i

and the non-appearance was caused
by the clouds which prevented the
