/ PANE's LIGHr-The editor of the Worcester
Tribune declares there is no humbug in Mr.
Paine's discovery of the way to burn water. 1t
says:
Mr. Paine's has discovered some philosophical
facts, which have aided him greatly in his subse-
qnent investigation and experiments. The most
important Of these, is that ,oater is simple snb-
stance and that what have heretofore been con-
stituent gases-hydrogen and oxygen-are
merely different electrical states of the same SUBJ
stance. For instance, the Positive current pro-
duces all oxygen. Thus it will be seen that the
water is not decomposed, but concerted or trans
nauted into one or the other gas, at pleasure
And what chemists have heretofore regarded as
the definite proportions of these two gases neces-
sary to form water, means, simply that given
quantity of water will make eight times as much
hydrogen as oxygen.
