ventor Or. Kidder of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks of the gas
consuming community. The saving effected by
the use OF 1t will be found fully 25 per cent in ev-
cry persons gas bill. 1t 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 huctna-
tons OF the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is light of a 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, it is in OPP
Grafton in some of the principal hotels and large
stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony to its value. 1t has also received the
united commentators of the press.
Hotel proprietors and storekeepers in the city of
Washington and its vicinity, DESTROYS TO avail
themselves of the economiser, 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.

from the whole field of journalism all that is really

versatile contents of the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the ECLECTIC. The best parts of all are
