MINEOLA, L. I., Sept. 23.—It is a proverb at Mineola that one day of the fair is etormy and the manage¬ ment of the agricultural society is congratulating Itself that tbe stormy day this year was Tuesday, tbe open¬ ing day of the big exhibition.
The management announced that including the varloua departments of the exhibition there were Juet 7,200 exhibits entered Tuesday morning. Of this there are 1,033 pieces of needle work in the women's-department.
Tbe Women's Suffrage party was out in force and the election booth was conducted under the auspices of the Hempstead ^nd Garden City Asho- ciatlon. A miniature polling place has been erected in a tent and tbe membera of the various suffrage clubs will act a« poll clerks and Inspectors throughout the week.
Opposite the booth is the head¬ quarters of the Anti-Suffrage party and Mrs. Kearns made a number of calla there for the purpose of get¬ ting a representative of the "antls" to act as watcher to see that a fair count was made.
One of the attractive features In the vegetable tent is the exhibit of the school gardens worked by a num¬ ber of boys of Naseau county. Some of the exhibitors are James Ryan, Hempstead; Bernard Koenke, Roose¬ velt; Wilfred Longe, Farmingdale, and Wesley Sprague of Baldwin.
Mrs. Frank N. Doubleday wlll ap¬ pear at the exhibit of the Long Island Bird Club, of which Colonel Roose¬ velt is president, and will give a brief talk on the work which Is being done to preserve bird life on Long Island. Henry Weston of Hempstead Is the judge of flowers, and there are some flne displays of cut flowers.
Henry Hicks of Westbury yas at the fair grounds and he is an ardent enthusiast as to the possibilities of Long Island and particularly Nassau county as a fruit growing country.
Owing to the fact of the prevalence of the hoof and mouth disease, the cattle exhibit is not as large as In tormer, years.
The poultry exhibit is attracting a great amount of attention. Some of the prominent exhibitors are August Belmont, Payne Whitney, who Is showlnK Rhode Island reds; Mortimer L. Schlff, who is showing Pekln ducks, and Samuel Willets also has a num bar ot birds.
The horse show is not only import¬ ant as a sporting feature, but It also marks the opening of the fall hunting season in this section of Long Island. The Mineola horse show has grown from the experimental stage and to¬ day vies with the big shows at Piping Rock and Newport.
There are over 228 different ex¬ hibits of apples, 80 of pears, 30 of grapes, ,5 7 of peaches and cranberries, quinces and other fruits. One exhibit containing 101 plates of as many different varieties of apples by Peter E. Van Nostrand of Shelter Island, took flrst premium. The fruit exhibit is one of the flnest ever shown at a Queens-Nassau fair.
f HAT IS GAS?
All of ns use artlflcial gas every day, but very (ew know much about It except tbat it w>ill barn when a match is applied.
Artificial gas was first manufactur¬ ed by WillUm Murdoch In Cornwall, England, in 1797. This waa what ie known AM coal gas today and waa pro¬ duced by heating eoft coal In a closed vessel and driving off the vapor, thus forming the "gas." Much gas Is still made In the same manner.
Coal gas was first used in tbe United Statee In 1806. In all coun¬ tries it was flrst available only for illuminating purposes In open-flame burners, for on account,of Its hlgb (ost—from flfteen to twlenty dollars per thousand cubic feet—it could not be used for heat.
A new method of manufacture, pro¬ ducing what Is known as carburetted water gas. was discovered, also in England In 1831. This process pro duces gas from coke

of practically tbe same value and com position as "coal gas."
The trend of tbe price of gas has alwaya been downward—even In an age when all other fuels and necessi¬ ties of life are constantly becoming more expensive. Consequently It has become possible to use gaa for cook¬ ing, heating water, beating rooms, burning refuse, and many other pur¬ poses In addition to lighting.
However, over one-half of the total amount of gas used in this country today is used for lighting. This has been made possible by the discovery of the gas mantle by'Von Welsbach In Germany in 1886. This form of gas light haa been enabled to hold Its own against the advances made by its younger competitor, electric light, and there is no more pleasing or sat¬ isfactory artlflcial illumination tban that given by the gas mantle. During the past year there have been many additional improvements made in tbe construction of the burners of gas lamps, but the mantles remain essen¬ tially the same.
At the San Francisco Exposition gas lighting plays a very Important part in the Illumination of botb the grounds and the exhibits. As the Il¬ lumination of th'is exposition was planned by several of the greatest ex¬ perts in the world, it would appear that gas is far from being a back number as an lllumlnant.
In order to demonstrate to the peo¬ ple just what gas lighting In its lat¬ est form is, and to celebrate the thir¬ tieth anhiversary of the invention of the gas mantle, the week beginning -ept. 27 will be observed by all gas companies throughout the country as a national gas lighting week. We un¬ derstand that the Nassau & Suffolk Lighting Company will have some special prices on tneir lighting goods during that week.
Remodel Bowling AUeys.
Under the personal direction of El¬ mer F. Kelly, proprietor, extensive alterations have been made during the past week in the interior of the Freeport bowling alleys located at 3 6-38 North Main street. Provision iias been made for private parties in¬ cluding separate entrances. Several ladles bowling club have been organ¬ ized to meet at these alleys and every accommodation has been provided for them. The alleys are In excellent con¬ dition and it is safe to predict they will be well patronized during the winter months.
