Itis a clear, bright morning ia the summer of 1824, but the sun that shines so brilliantly upon Rangoon looks down upon a strange and startling spectacle, writes David Ker in one of his New York Times Burmah letters. The whole town seéms to be out of doors, and every street is a surh ing sea of wild faces livid with fear or bly -jwith rage, All along the rude défe. i.e which face toward the river-@ © oh of Burmese soldiers are swarm’ ing like ants over the , crumbling earthv orks and half-e tterios, piling up rusty canto and fro as if preparing for the coming of anenemy. Such is, indeed, the case, for if Jyou-look in the tio whither their scowling eyes turn restlossly ever and anon you will see far down the broad, winding river, towering high above the dark mass of jungle that clothes its banks, the white sails of several stately men-of war, with the British flag waving above them. The ‘twhite-faced beasts” whom the royal Tom Thumb of Burmah has so long insulted and defied have come at last to demand satisfaction in earnest. But the thickets throng and the loudest uproar concentrate theméelves upon the great market near the landing place, where 8 roaring whirlpool of gnashing teeth and glaring eyes and clenched hands and brandished weapons and wolfish yells boils and eddies round two unarmed white men, bound, helpless, splashed with mud and ig from many a bruise, but still wearing a look of quiet and fearless calmness that contrasts very strikingly with ithe howling fury of the human wolves around them. Missionaries and men of peace though they are, they have in their veins . the bold American blood of the warriors: of Bunker Hill-and Valley Forge, and now, saved from instant death at the hands of the mob only to perish by the slower and more deliberate murder of so-called “law,” they stand amid this riot of demons as calm gg re a as ever. “When. the doomed men are dragged before the Hayeoun (Governor) of the / aphoee worthy Nero is somewhat at a loss what to do. Toany consideration of mere humanity he is as insensible as an English work-house guardian; but, being a shade less ignorant than the imbruted ruffians around him, he knows that the white men can fight, and that if they should take the town the murder of these two victims will’ be fearfully avenged. But his feeble remonstrances are drowned by the bloodthirsty yell of the raltble, and the Governor, like a ‘second Pilet, sacrifices his conscience—such as it is—to the-clamor of s ruMfanly mob. The two prisoners. are sentenced to immediate death and orders are given to carry them to the place of execution~and behedd them forthwith. The words of doom are hailed with a roar of savage jdy, and the sea of fierce faces and tossing arms poured out of the narrow street in one great wave, sweeping along with them their victims, behind whom stalks the executioner himself, a gaunt, scowling, frightful creature, with no clothing save a blood-stained cloth around his’ loins, the hideous spots on.whose-—wolfish face mark him as one of those miserable criminals who have redeemed their own worthless lives from death by accepting the degrading office of inflicting death upon their fellow-men. As the ghastly procession Moves onward the wretch flourishes his broad-bladed knife above the heads of the doomed missionaries, and at every repetition of this grim pantomime a howl of cruel triumph rises from the savage throug around them. a But even in this deadly peril with the shadow of the grave deepening around them, the two brave Americans never flinch fora moment. All the taunts and . curses of the murderous rabble move them not a whit, and when they reach the place of death their only words are: “Brother, we shall meet again in Heaven.” The Governor gives the fatal signal, the crowd falls back to right and left, and the grim headsman approaches his victims with brandished knife and forces them down upon their knees. “Where is your God, now, Christian?” cries the savage,with a jeering laugh. “You say that He is all powerful—let Him save you then if He can.” ; “If it be His will,” answers one of the self-devoted heroes, ‘‘ He can save us even now.”’ The dauntless words are scarcely uttered when there comes a roar asif the earth were rent in twain—a thick gust of hot, stifling smoke makes all as dark as night—and in the grim hush that followed is heard the crash of falling roofs, mingled with shrieks of agony and cries of terror. When the ‘smoke clears away the two Americans find themselves kneeling alone amid the vast space which was lately so crowded. Far in the distance their cruel enemies are fleeing like hunted sheep, while a few paces off lies the headless corpse of the savage executioner, struck dead by an English cannon-ball, but still clutching in his stiffening hand the hfige knife which was to have drunk their What follows is the mere mockery of a battle. The valiant, Governor and his officers have already taken to their heels and the feeble and unskillful fire of the few who attempt resistance is speedily crushed by the tremendous broadsides of the English menof-war. An hour later the British bluejackets pour into the town, only to find it alre:dy deserted, and bear back with them in triumph the two gallant missionaries who lived for many years after to tell how God had remembered his servants in their sorest need. GAS FROM PETROLEUM. An Attractive Theme for Inventors as Well as Consumers. “Of the many devices employai in the well-known official of a Brooklyn gas company tw a New York Mat! and Express reporter, ‘none has seemed more attractive use of petroleum oil in place of coal. Some very considerable. advantages seem possible by its use, and although it was pretty thoroughly tried a number of years ago, and. generally discarded, the question of substituting it for coal has been revived and is again receiving considerable attention. “There is no question that the gas which can be readily enough made from the oil is very highly luminous, and this is an apParent advantage, But there are other considerations, and the first of them is the cost. It seems as though it ought to be cheaper than coal, unless at a time when coal is unusually cheap. The gas from oil is called of sixty-candle power, but it is exeeedingly doubtful-whether it can be made to maintain that standard when stored or delivgred in the usual manner to towns or cities, “Even if it can be sixty-candle gas as it is ordinarily used, it isnot worth twice as much as thirty-candle, or three times as much as twenty-candle gas. The greater pressures at which the higher qualities have to be consumed in order to get the best results eject the hydro-carbon particles from the burner at such a rapid rate that many:of them are wasied and not burned at all. “There have been many devices for securing the greatest light from the burning of a given amount of gas, but most of the init'can only be compared with other gas that is used through a standard burger, by testog it with the same burner.” : OES CGE NERERRRS I T Telegraph tor Mariners.

The words of doom are hailed with a roar of savage jdy, and the sea of fierce faces and tossing arms poured out of the narrow street in one great wave, sweeping along with them their victims, behind whom stalks the executioner himself, a gaunt, scowling, frightful creature, with no clothing save a blood-stained cloth around his’ loins, the hideous spots on.whose-—wolfish face mark him as one of those miserable criminals who have redeemed their own worthless lives from death by accepting the degrading office of inflicting death upon their fellow-men. As the ghastly procession Moves onward the wretch flourishes his broad-bladed knife above the heads of the doomed missionaries, and at every repetition of this grim pantomime a howl of cruel triumph rises from the savage throug around them. a But even in this deadly peril with the shadow of the grave deepening around them, the two brave Americans never flinch fora moment. All the taunts and . curses of the murderous rabble move them not a whit, and when they reach the place of death their only words are: “Brother, we shall meet again in Heaven.” The Governor gives the fatal signal, the crowd falls back to right and left, and the grim headsman approaches his victims with brandished knife and forces them down upon their knees. “Where is your God, now, Christian?” cries the savage,with a jeering laugh. “You say that He is all powerful—let Him save you then if He can.” ; “If it be His will,” answers one of the self-devoted heroes, ‘‘ He can save us even now.”’ The dauntless words are scarcely uttered when there comes a roar asif the earth were rent in twain—a thick gust of hot, stifling smoke makes all as dark as night—and in the grim hush that followed is heard the crash of falling roofs, mingled with shrieks of agony and cries of terror. When the ‘smoke clears away the two Americans find themselves kneeling alone amid the vast space which was lately so crowded. Far in the distance their cruel enemies are fleeing like hunted sheep, while a few paces off lies the headless corpse of the savage executioner, struck dead by an English cannon-ball, but still clutching in his stiffening hand the hfige knife which was to have drunk their What follows is the mere mockery of a battle. The valiant, Governor and his officers have already taken to their heels and the feeble and unskillful fire of the few who attempt resistance is speedily crushed by the tremendous broadsides of the English menof-war. An hour later the British bluejackets pour into the town, only to find it alre:dy deserted, and bear back with them in triumph the two gallant missionaries who lived for many years after to tell how God had remembered his servants in their sorest need. GAS FROM PETROLEUM. An Attractive Theme for Inventors as Well as Consumers. “Of the many devices employai in the well-known official of a Brooklyn gas company tw a New York Mat! and Express reporter, ‘none has seemed more attractive use of petroleum oil in place of coal. Some very considerable. advantages seem possible by its use, and although it was pretty thoroughly tried a number of years ago, and. generally discarded, the question of substituting it for coal has been revived and is again receiving considerable attention. “There is no question that the gas which can be readily enough made from the oil is very highly luminous, and this is an apParent advantage, But there are other considerations, and the first of them is the cost. It seems as though it ought to be cheaper than coal, unless at a time when coal is unusually cheap. The gas from oil is called of sixty-candle power, but it is exeeedingly doubtful-whether it can be made to maintain that standard when stored or delivgred in the usual manner to towns or cities, “Even if it can be sixty-candle gas as it is ordinarily used, it isnot worth twice as much as thirty-candle, or three times as much as twenty-candle gas. The greater pressures at which the higher qualities have to be consumed in order to get the best results eject the hydro-carbon particles from the burner at such a rapid rate that many:of them are wasied and not burned at all. “There have been many devices for securing the greatest light from the burning of a given amount of gas, but most of the init'can only be compared with other gas that is used through a standard burger, by testog it with the same burner.” : OES CGE NERERRRS I T Telegraph tor Mariners.
