supply the gas al any desired pressure less than

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 al which the gas is consumed. As
an evidence Of its practical utility il is now in OPP

testimony to its value. II has also received the
