| We had the pleasure yesterday of cx-
amining at the ware house of Mr. A. Brad
ley, No. 4 Wood street, cooking stove
which, for real practical utility, stands
without a rival in the country. II is
knows as the "Gas and Smoke Burning
Cooking Stove," and is produced by the
application of ''Gas and smoke burning
patent TO Bradley's justly celebrated
''Tropic" and "Atna'' Stoves, with the
excellency of which there are few of our
readers unacquainted Mr.. Bradley has
sole control of the improvement, and has
it protected by two patents. the one bear
ing date the 18th of April, and the other
June lst, 1853. In appearance the "Gas
and Smoke Burning Cooking Stove differs
but little from an ordinary stove, yet its
internal arrangements are such that il gives
much greater amount of heat at far less
expense than the common stove, and is
inf nitely preferable to it for cooking pur-
poses. The manner in which this desid-
eratum IS effected is very simple, Jets of
heated air are introduced over the fire
through perforated hollow top centre
piece, and there, in mingling with the
gases, produce combustion, which, pass
ing round the flues of the stove, throw
more intense and uniform heat into the
oven than can be produced by any gas
burning stove now before the public. The
saving in fuel consequent on the burning
of the gas is about fifty per cent, while
the required heat is produced, and the total
absence of the SCOT and gases, the pre-
many of them so Objectionable for cooking
purposes, are Recommendations in favor Of

And that they are not overlooked is evil
dent from the fact that there now is de- |
mand for them that is absolutely astunish-
ing From every district, east or west,
where they have been tried, orders for
them come pourning in, and yet their
worth is scarcely half known and the de-
mand but in its infancy. This is tribute
to Mr. Bradley's genius, and the peculiar
excellence of his stove, of which he may
we'll feel proud, yetit is nothing more than
the gentleman merits, and is but a just
tribute to his inventive abilities. Before
the "Gas and Smoke Burning Stove" was
ever heard of, his "Etna." '.Tropic," and
other stoves had acquired re-
putation which insured for them ready
sale everywhere. They were to be found
in almost every house, and in every instance
they gave the most unqualified satisfaction
Indeed there appears to be no end to his
He introduced a stove to
the public, which by common consent,
and with the test of experience to guide
us in making up our opinion, is pronounced
perfect; yet few months later his ready
genius discovers some point in which it
may be impr owed, and the stove which
every one thought perfect before and which
rave unalloyed satisfaction wherever it was
used, is made better.
One peculiarity about Mr.. Bradleys
stoves it might be we'll to name. They
ire constructed so that draught of cold
air circulates behind all the fire backs.
This renders them infinitely more durable
Than those made without the improvement,
and consequently greatly enhances their
real value. a few years since he had Il
patent granted him for fire back for con-
suming gas and smoke, by passing air be-
tween the fire back and oven through
tolerably well, but not so well
As might be expected, because the holes
became clogged with dust, and
he cooks generally had the fire higher
han the plate, which destroyed altogether
the intended utility of the invention. In
,he '.gas and smoke burning stove" how
aver, this impediment to success has been
conquered, and no matter how
arge the fire, its usefulness cannot be i'm
paired, nor can it by any means fail to ex-
lbit those advantages in practical way
claimed for it by its proprietor. Again
We recommend every person in want of
stove to call at Mr.. Bradley's and exam
ne his new improvement. 1t is far more
economical than the common stove, does
ts work infinitely better, and is emphati-
,ally y stove for the people.-EVening
