INSTITUTE OF GAS ENGINEERS.—We understand
that a new college or institute is about to be established,
having for its objects the collection and promulgation of
all data relative to the existing methods of manufacturing
and distributing gas; an examination of the most sci-
entific and practical methods of increasing its purity
and illuminating power; of making it in the most eco-
nomical manner; of getting rid of all noxious effluvium;
and of so regulating the mode of supply that it can be
conveyed to consumers at a cost much inferior to that
which they are charged at present. Another important
object is, the regular training and instruction of gas
engineers, so as to reduce to one uniform system and
science the diverse methods which at present prevail,
leading as they do to extravagant and ill-directed expert.
diture, and greatly enhanced cost of the article, equally
to the injury of shareholders and consumers. When it
is considered that not less than 15,000,0001. of British
capital are invested in gas works, and that nothing can
be more variable than the prices charged throughout the
country, the importance of such an institute, which
will assure to shareholders and the public an ascertained
amount of scientific knowledge and practical skill on the
part of those to whom the expenditure of this immense
and increasing capital is entrusted will be readily ap-
preciated. The science of gas manufacture is, perhaps,
yet in its infancy. Many improvements have certainly
been made of late years, but owing to the expense of
adapting old works to such improved methods, and other
obvious personal reasons, these improvements have met
with far from universal adoption. New alleged improve-
ments are also daily suggested, which require scientific
investigation, so that the practically good may be
separated from those which are merely speculative and
theoretical, and which would lead to a waste of capital.
The projectors of this new institute are, we understand,
Mr. A. Angus Croll, Engineer of the Coventry and
Tottenham Gas Works and of the Great Central Con-
sumers' Company, and Professor Wilson, of the Ander-
sonian Institution, who have already secured the warm
co-operation of some of the most eminent gas engineers
in the kingdom.

itiries.—Bliza Cook's Journal
