Home Heating
Central heating became popular only after the Civil War. Typically, coal-burning furnaces (火炉) fueled the early systems. Natural gas had developed into the leading fuel by 1960. Its acceptance resulted in part from its wide uses. Because it comes primarily from U.S. and Canadian fields, natural gas is also less vulnerable(脆弱的)than oil is to War. Oil remains the most important fuel in a few areas, such as New England.
Electric heating dominates most areas with mild winters and cheap electricity, including the South and the Northwest. It was made popular at least in the South by the low cost of adding electric heating to new houses built with air-conditioning. Bottled gas, which is somewhat more expensive than utility gas, is the fuel of choice in rural areas not served by utility pipelines. Wood is the leading heating fuel in just a few rural counties.

A. Gas.

John Reid became home secretary because of a prison scandal.
His predecessor, Charles Clarke, was forced to resign in May after admitting
that some 1,000 foreign prisoners who ought to have been considered for
deportation had been freed. This week Mr. Reid faced a prison crisis of his own,
made worse by new figures showing that offenders released early from jail on
electronic tags have committed more than 1,000 serious crimes.
In theory, the jails of England and Wales can accommodate just over 80,000
people. By October 6th they were just 210 short of that limit. The obvious
remedies—cramming two people into cells built for one, letting more prisoners
out on probation and moving convicts far from their families—have already been
taken. So, last-ditch measures were put in place this week. Some 500 police
cells will be used for prisoners. Foreign convicts’ appeals against deportation
will no longer be contested, in order to liberate their beds.
