Cooking ty Gas.

We noticed some tim" sincc what seemed
10 be a successful experiment, in n. YORK by
which meat was Cooked by gas. Lake eh-
pafimeats have been male in buffalo, and
the papers speak of it as successful. The
Con aercial says:
Atth- recent exhibition in this city we saw
mutton chops broiled in periectloa in six or
seven minutes. A turkey was roasted in
one hour and twenty minutes, ddone to
turn Ia the same apparatus In which the
TURKEY was roasted, by the same heat, no.
t1tses we're baked in very short time, and
other similar culinary processes could have
'paen carried on.
The hraiHng process deserves special re-
marx; The fire, or blaze, being applied from
ABOVE ALL the juices OF tae meat are preserv-
'el instead Of dripping into the frs as BY the
old process, and steak or chop could be
cooked upon the breakfast table without any
inconvenience from smoke or other dlsa-
s'seaale corporations, 81 consequent now
upon The ordinary mode. We could dilate
mHch further upon the superior advantages
OF This new mode; time 10 saved-thc exact
moment at which meal can be ready, can
DC demonstrated with n,aihem itical exact
ness, and the morosen ness nnck ascerb' ~ en-
gendered by late and cold meals will thus be
completely avoided. In the experiments
made here turkey Of ten pounds weight
was cooked at an expense Of 6is cents; an
ol"nary beef steak at n fraction less than
cents; and when it is recollccted that
,nesuspension of expense is instantaneous,
=! SIMPLY turning the stop cock attached
