by the OF peculiar form Of i've and gas hoider
governing accurately single hight with capacity to
pass gas enough tor tho full number OF lights aud the
ability within the instrument ITSELF to increase tho
pressure when the greater quantity OF gas required
Among the peculiar advantages OF this Regulator
that make preferable to instruments of moro con-
tracted size, which require the use of MFBCURY or
FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGMS the following deserve
especial notce:-
FIRsT-The free motion of the Regulating Valve
through considerable space gives IL grea or decaoy OF
adjustment, and wider range of consumption in .
single instrument, than is possible with other forms
SECOND-The fluid seal Of GLYCkRINE used inthis
RESO OLAIoR avoids the dangers resulting in other
forms. from the unwholesome vapors Of Mercury.

Where the use Of MERCURY in regu ators is avo,dea
by the substitution Of FLEXIBLE DIAPHR AGM tina
resulting difficulties also numerous; one fs tina lia

other, the loss OF Flexbity and consequent ne1oeno

To remedy these faults, the "CREssoN REaUra
TOR" was invented and wherever introduced n ba.
given the greatest satisfaction, always producing a
steady light regular consumption with saving !.
from TWENTY to THIRTY Per Cent IN amount of pss

The following is an extract from the journal of thu
FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, dated october 49, 1865 IA,
experimental trial then made to the QUANTITY of
gas consumed by the burners when under reguatan "a
their maximum economy, and also the amount consumed
BY the same burners when subjected to the ordnayv
variations of street pressure
~ he result showed that with the Regulator there
uniform ly 78 cubic feet gas per hour consumed
being average of 70 cubic feet per burner Wbst
without the Regulator the same burners consumed
from O6 10 l4O cubic feet per hour the average being 26
cubic feet, or feet per hour to each burner

In this city, where the public are invited to call and
examine themselves, the amount of saving efected
by the of the
