William Murdoch, Who Was Respons- ible Forsthe Commercialization of Precious Dhighting Fluid Was a Quaint Geunius--UHe Wore Wooden Hat and Made the Forerunner of the Modern Bicycle. The discovery of gas as a lighting power is only one of the many ro- manees of modern industrial develop- ment. William Murdoch, son of a millwright, of Old Cumnock, AyI- shire, Scotland, is the acknowledged inventor of coal-gas lighting. He was born on A st: 21, 1754, In a low-roofed, thatched cottage, a repli- ea almost of the lttle *'biggin' in which Robert Burns was born--and his portraits show a face of striking manly beauty and strong character. fn celebration of the centenary of what may be ealled 'the commercial- ization" of gas as an illuminant, there 18 to be a National Gas Con- gress and Exhibition at the White City, Shepherd's Dush, London, short- ly: A long list ef popular lectures has been prepared and the exhibits will cover the whole ground of 'the foventiofp and development of gas- lighting. : . William Murdoch's share in the de- velopment of this eaterprise will be fully acknowledge. Murdoch was a quaint genfus. His father and grand- father, although they followed other occupations, had been gunners in the Royal A.tiilery, and pay-sheets bear- ing thelr signatures are still preserv- ed in the records of Woolwich Arsenal. . Brought up with his father as a millwright and :niller until he was twenty-three, Murdoch went south, and entered the service of Messrs. Boulton and Watt (Watt being the famous 'nventor of the steam engine) c2 Soho Works, Birmingham. He changed the spelling of his name from Murdoch to Murdock put of 'consideration fcr the Englishmd's natural inability to pronounce the guttural. Among the unusual things which Murdock was always dcing was the wearing of a wooden hat. According to the accepted story, Murdock was $0 nervous at his first interview with Mr. Boulton, of the Soho works, that he let his hat fall on the floor. Boul- ton had previously been struck by the strange appearance of Murdock's headgear, and the noize it made fall- ing prompted him to ask some cués- tions. In answer to those Murdock confessed that the hat was made of wood and that he had turned it on a lathe of his own construci.on. There were makers of gas of a sort beiore Murdock lit his"house at Red- ruth, in Cornwall, with the new llu- minant. In 1785, at Culross, in Ayr- shire, alttough Murdock did not 'now of this until long afterwards, in the ovens of Lord Dundonald, a r>--1ber of the ingénious Cochrane family, gas had been produced and rejected ac a waste product. Others seemed fo have been on the point of making the gr. discovery, but, -s bas been said ¢f Murdock, the merit of "the first idea of applying and the first actual application of car- buretted hydrogen gas to economic purposes as a substitute for olls and tallows" first belongs to him. Murdock inherited his inventive' genius. His father was the Inventor of toothed circular iron gearing, and other clever contrivances. Even as a boy, Wilffiim Murwock showed skill and Ingendity in mechanics, and a joden horse of his own econtriv- ance, on which he and his brothe's rede to school at Cumnock, is claim- ed ag the forerunner of the modern tricycle, and even of the locomotive. From his boyhood's days, Murdock fmpressed his friends with his un- usual ability, Boulton was so struck with him that he engaged him at thelr first interview and wrote to his partner, Watt, from Cornwall where the big Scotsman had bean gent as the agent of his principals: "Murdock hath been indefatigable gince he began. He has scarcely been in bed or taken the necessary food." 'Of his stay at Redruth---where he remained for nineteen years -- an amusing story Is told. It is related of him that; with a gas-filled bladder under his arm, ana squeezing the gag o.t with his elbow, "just as if Ye were playing the bagpipes of his na- tive land," the gas burning at the end of arpipe attached to the bladder, he used 'to light his way about in the early and late dark hours of the win- ter days. Murdock did other things to scare tho wits of the people of Redruth, Oue of his contrivapces was an en- gine that ran on wheels--a forerun- ner of the motor-ear--and his excur- sions on this used to alarm the na- | tives, much as the first flying machine would frighten them almost out of reason. In 1792, while living at Redruth, Murdock carried out .he experiments {nthe distillation of different classes of coal that resulted in the discovery of a gas with which he lighted his house and offices. In 1797 he re- turned to Scotland, and there also he lighted his house at Old Cumrock with gas. In 1798 he was back in Birmingham, and there constructed apparatus upon a larger scale, with which he lghted the principal bulld- ing at the Scho Steam Engine Works of Boulton and Watt. He was slowly but surely coming into his own. Up till' his forty-fourth year this beéne- factor of mankind was never paid mare than $5 a week, but his depar- ture for Scotland seems to have awakened Messrs. Boulton and Watt to his value. To a man of his tem- 'ergment, however, money mattered tittle; but, on his return te Birming- ham, he was not averse to accepting a salary of $5,000 a year. : Murdock died at Handsworth, Bir- | mingbam, Nov. 15, 1839, in the 85th year of his age; a neglected, but not « disappointed, genius. . niin eit Nowadays the meek man is the target for the rankest kind of im- position. 3 $ If able to avold it, nome of us) should be too frugal to drive a tn E . | ------ . Langoon-pavies 1s an Exponent of the Angell School. Mr. Langdon-Davies, who has just conclitded a ten days' visit to' Canada, with the record of an exceptionally largé number of addresses delivered one after the other to various audi- ences afid societies in Toronto, Mont real, and Hamilton, j& & young man, thirty-six years of age, and one who has 1éft behind hima a favorable fm- pression on all those witli whom he has come into contact. : He i§ an interesting man for more {han oné reason. For example, he is a disciple and colleague of the fam- ois Norman Angell, fhe author of "The Great Illusion," embodying the thesis that war, even [rom an econ- visi nad material aspéet, does pot Lenefit thé victor, and tbat armed aggression is therefore futile, MT. 1 angdon-Davies is ona three months' tour of Amerige, preaching the doc- trines of apti-militarism, advanced by the "Little Man." This is the term of pride and endearment with which the friends of Norman Angell refer to the 'world-famaus peace advocate. Angell is small of stature, but colos- sal in iatellect. Quite apart from Iw relation to nis illustrious chief, hy "ever. Lang- 'deb-Davies is an attractive personal- ity in himself, and by his own right. H» is a brilliant gracuate of Cam- bridge University, and ls a man af active, effective energy, of charming disposition, and of polished, persua- sive eloquence. He 1s equally at home in diseussing the problems of peace and joternaiional relations al gatherings of students, labor men, or Canadian Clubs. Before jeining Norman Angell and the Garton Peace Foundation, Mr. Langden-Davies was a tutor in Lon- doh. His pupils were not all the ordinary, every dey English people whe usually make a tutor's life rath- er uneventful. Within a couple of years be had under his change sev: eral Parsees, a number of sons of Indian rajabs, and quite a generous installment of Chinese, in additien to the heirs of Prussian nobles, and Parisiah aristoerats. This incident 11- lustrates in rather a fresh outlook' {he cosmopolitan nature of English education and learming. Langdon- Davies remarks on the deep responsi- bility involved in tutoring and super- vising these foreigners, especially those from India and the Oriert, Strangers in a strange land, and amid a civilization quite different from their own, they pags through quite a normal and intellectual crisis. Mr. Langdon-Davies tells a story, which shows the traditiona' habit of tre Chinaman, in his "lackadaisical" manner, and his refusal to become excited or alert. While sitting in his study one day, this tutor heard the door open apd someone eome in quietly. After a moment's delay, be looked up and saw three young Chinamen standing in a row before the desk. Ove of them was a pupil Langdon-Davies had tutored a year before, who had returned to China. Without writing a line or letting the tutor know in any way, he had re- turned to England, and had brought with him two of his companions, who also' had a thirst for western educa~ tion and western pleasures. The tutor's time might have been com- pletely taken up, and their coming might have been embarrassing to him and untimely for themselves, but they had evidently not thought it worth while" to make any preliminary ar- rangements, and had left China and went to England, entirely unherald- ed. -------------------- Regimental Pets. Nearly every regiment In the Brit- ish army has its regimental pet, vary- ing from the famous goat of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers to the tame blackbirds and thrushes of the Cold stream Guards. Only a few army pets are dogs, however. One of the most famous of these dogs was Drummer, which: belonged to the Northumberland Fusiliers. Drummer. went through three eam: palgns. He was present at the Buat- tle of Omdurman, in'. the Egyptian campaigns,' when he snapped at the bullets, thinking they were files! Dur ing the South African War he was wounded in the shoulder at Wynberg, but recovered; South African medals -and clasps by Queen Victoria. = Drummer, by the wily, was the only dog which Lord Methuen allowed to accompany hie column from Orange River. wm ------------------ Nature Was Improving. James A. MeNeill Whistler as- tounded many people by the egotism he frequently displayed in his' con- versation, but those' who' knew the artist best realized that many of bis conceited remarks were-fspired by & love of mischief rather than by vanity. Here is an example: At a house party an effusive lady approached the artist. ! "Qh, Mr. Whistler," she said, "I have just been up the river, and it reminded me so much of your pic- tures!" "Indeed!" Whistler replied calm- | ly. "Then nature is looking up." A -------- | The Most Graceful Act. A good subject for a dull season discubsion, says - The Manchester Guardian, would be what was the most graceful act you ever saw. As a contribution to such a discussion this would, I think, be hard to beat. A lady of much ebarm who Is a rigid vegetarian had been living some time in a Somerset village. When she was leaving the village she received some little gifts from the villagers. The most beautiful was a fine bunch of roses sent to her by -- the local butcher. - Deaf, Dumb and Blind at Wedding. A wedding took place the other day at St. Qeorge's Church, Graves when Mr. Herbert are deaf and dumb, and Canon Gedge, who is totally blind, perform- od the ceremony.

Under fhe auspices of the Woman's Imperial Health Association, the now famous' Florence Nightingale cara- van 'has started: on its yearly trip thrpughout the country districts con- ducting a health erusade in the form of a lecture tour. On former tours the caravan has been so successful that its fame has gone abroad. Germany has become interested in the movement and is planning similar caravans under the auspices of a Juvenile Health Asso- clation. The Florence Nightingale 'caravan is & real caravan. It is a large wag- on, drawn by two powerful horses. This year it is in charge of Mise Janet St. Clair, a nurse, who preaches the gospel of an open air existence. She is practicing this 'creed, too, for she gives all of her lectures out of doors, declining to hold them in ctuf= fy bails: Miss St. Clair earries a motion picture muchine, with full ap- paratus, with het. she drives to the piblle squar> or r of' cantral point of the small towns and then delivers her lectures.
