: An IMPORTANT DIscovIaY.-An invention
has recently been patented that promises
to work a revolution IN the manner Of
lighting all large establishments. DIR.
Herzel, OF Leipsic. Ssxson, has been ex-
Perimenung with petroleum with view Of
generating gas from that oil, and the result
Is said To be the production OF gas which,

Manufacture. will compare favdrably with
any hitherto in use.
The process Of making the article con-

which is subjected TO red heat. and the
gas IS thus generated. The machine is
simple IN is operations, and can readily be
made Of any size--irom that suitable for
The lighting oi q private dwelling to that
which would serve Tor the Illuminating Of
The largest city in the world. The gas Is
pure and inodorous, aud free from those
ieleterioas effects upon health which are
attributed 10 coal gas.
As nearly as can a, present be cslculat-
ed the cost OF petroleum. gas is about one
