No MORE WooD OR Coal FuEL.-As-
tonishing as this may appear, we hear that
wood and coal is TO be banshed from hous-
es and gas made to answer the double pur-
pose producing heat and light. The New
York Mirror says;
ave verify believe that a way has
been discovered Of warming houses by burn
ing gas that will speedily do away with the
use of wood and coal for all heating and
culinary purposes. This will astoni>h old
fogydom; but we have entire confidence in
the success of this great discovery and have
made arrangements to have the MirrIr Of
flee warmed by this process. The flame
from single gas burner, such as we now
use, can be so difFused as to produce any re-
CURED degree of heat-at cost for gas, and
that, too, at present city rates, OF only ffteen
csnt day. We regard this discovery as one
of the latest wonders and most useful
achievements Of the age"
