Gas LIGHTS The first Gas lights may DO
said TO have discovered themselves. The
most remarkable jets were found at a col
licry at Whitehayen in Cumberland. The
miners were at work one day, when q gust
of air Of powerful odor passed BY them, and
catching fire at their lamps blazcd up with
such hrilliancy that tho Golfers took to their
heels in fright. Ii was soon found, howev-
or. that tho flame, large as 1t WIS, burned
quietly and without danger, and the men
returned to their work. a curious result
then appeared. Tho fame was entirely put
out, but immediately re-kindled on the ap.
proach of Ere, 10 that the only way 70 got
rid Of the Gus was to conduct IL IA the top
of the mine. a tube was fixed for this pur-
pose, and the gas being lighter than the air,
assembled to the surface. As soon as il ap-
pcarcd there, IL burst out once more into
brilliant flame, and crowds Of people came
to look at the extraordinary specacle. The
application Of gas to general purposes of H.
Elimination was frat tried by Mr.. Murdoch,
in Cornwall, in l79-. The first display Of
gas works was made ut Boulton X Watts
Foundry in Birmingham, on the occasion
Of the rejoicings for peace In 1902. Gas
lights wer, first introduced into London at
Golden Lane, August lG. 1907. They were
used for lighting Pall.mal! in 1909, and were
generally used throughout London in 1914.
They were lIst used in Dublin in lSl6. and
tho stnects wore generally lighted in 0cto-
Der, 1926. The gas pipes 10 and about
London extend about 900 miles.
