The New York Post gives the following
account Of the new gas: esH f'y y
"This great desideratum has been found
Fat last. though the means by which the gas
lis obtained from The water is more expensive
than the method which Mr.. Paine was supS
posed TO have discovered. The proprietors
! Of the Asor House. have been using this gas
for the past two months The light, they IN
form us, is much superior to that obtained
from the common gas, with which the whole
city is supplied, while the expense is less
than tne half. The apparatus, which is set
Iup in small building at the rear of the ho-
tel, is vety simple 10 its construction, reqni-
I ring only the attendance of two men, who.
| in seven hours can turn ofsufficient gas for
liwenty-iour houIs' consumption. The fol-
lowing is, as near as we conld ascertain, the
process BY which the gas produced: i
"The water used for its manufacture is
discharged froln can, in limited quantities
into a pipe passing through The retort. The
lretou is kept constantly supplied with iron
and charcoal, the intense heat from which,
converts the wafer in its passage through the
pipe, into steam. The steam thus formed
is aIhagatnated with liquid rosin, of which
there is always large supply kept in The
boiler placed Immediately over the retort, so
that the gas is obtained simply from tie
combination of steam generated in the mnn>
ner described, and the liquid rosin The
volatile oil produced in the manufacturing
process is discharged through separate pipe
into receiving vessels. This oil disposed
Of al half a dollar per barrel. The expense
of-the charcoal aud iron consumed is very
slight, md the amount oil rosin consumed is
about a barrel aud a half @' Wy
The apparatus was put up ay the Union
Gas Light G6rnpaIl, which has lis head
Iquarlers IN Jersey city. The stock Of this
company has been ken up and tie p esenl
capital is about $500,00o. The whole oI
Jersey City, il appears, is 10 be lighted up
with ihIs gas, and the COMPANY has uIready
en'ered into contracts 10: lighting seveia
hotels in the different cities Of The Union.
TUE PAINE LIGHT NO TIUMBUG.
After all The talk and newspaper squibbint
il seems the Paine Lights genuine. Al leas
Mr.. Paine has succeeded is, convincing tht
editorial fraternity Of Worcester, Mass, o
the reality of his invention as method 0
making gas from water. The editors of The
Tribune, Spy and Palladium, have each anc
all been inducted into the secret process, nnt
come out firm believers in the magnitude
and genuineness Of The Invention. The SpJ
says: s H.f .m .#e4
"When tho parts Of the machine in whicl
the invention is contained, the belces ant
Electrodes, were examined, sufficient caus.
aoaS found TO account for The effect produc'

"Fhe construction Of these is dilferen

went 80 Worchester TO see and Judge for bin
self, and is now rejoicing in the faith tha
Paine is really the modern Promelheus who
i"has extorted from nature the secret Of tine
artificial production OF light at nomina
cost" !" ''9"
/ Other journals state that both the editor
of lie Worcester Spy and Of lie rhrono.ypt
are competent TO speak on this subject.

to obey the mandate when his official tern
