DATENT Gas REGULAToR.-The In

IL ventor CDR. Kidder) Of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use of il will be found fully IS per cent in ev
cry persons gas bill. II can be so adjusted as TO
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than
that Of the street, and when once adjusted, the
Regulator will continue to supply the gas at that
pressure uniformly without requiring further care
or attention, and independent Of all the fuctua-
tions of the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is light of more
agreeable quality, in place of the blush white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the
high pressure at which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence of its practical utility, il is in op-
Grafton in some Of the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony TO its value. II has also received the
united commentators of the press.
Hotel propretors and storekeepers in the city Of
Washington and its vicinity, dcsrous TO avail
themselves of the economser, can obtain all fur
ther information by calling on the subscriber, who
has fitted one Of these Regulators up in his store
and will give an illustration of it.
