The plan adopted is the got out by Calvin Pepper
esq., of this city The iron work will be done up the
Eagle Furnace Mr. Pepper gets up his heat by passing
gas through sand If the gas be directed into the body
of the sand it will instantly diuse itself through the
ontire and raising to the surface may with perfect
safety be instantly set fire with match the flame
covering the whole surface of the sand with pure
flame, without smoke matter how large the extent Of
the flame, and with perfect and complete combustion
The heat is almost dused through the
entire of sand heating it equally throughout and
requiring but minute of time to heat the sand to such
intense temperature that It will retain its heat for hours
after the gas is shut of and the light extngushed
There be no doubt that the gas required to light
room will also be sufficient TO heat IT, Mr. Pepper claims
that two cents worth of gas will make sufficient guam
