Regarding Gas,

In 1914, when the Royal Society visited the
London Gas works, there was only one gasometer,
holding fourteen thousand cubic feet of gas.
When Sir William COngreve reported on them in
1922, the Peter Street Station alone was produc-
ing annually one hundred and eghty-fou thou
sand cubic feet of gas. There were annually
used in London three hundred and ninety seven
million cubic feet, lighting sixty-one thousand
two hundred and Ave private and seven thousand
two hundred and sixty eight street lamps This
did not include several private companies, Yet
gas was still little used in the poorer districts
that in the Whtechspel works two large eaHpas
bags were used as gas)meters.
In 1927, the number Of public gas companies
In the United Kingdom amounted to two hun.
dred. The young giant grew fast. The gas
pipes in and round London now extend over up.
wards Of two thousand miles and are still extend
ing as fast as the feeIcrs Of Victor Hugos terrible
sea monster.
In 1872, the blue gas d ime first sprnng Kissing
up to do real work for man, when Mr.. Murdoch
applied light to the pungent coal spirit. 1t is
now 1867, and we arc still far from comfortable
with our new servant. Its price In London Is
enormous, arbitrary, and artificial and the gas
itself gets daily fceby paler and more full Of car
bon, In spite of all the progress Of science. It Is
also still necessary to discover some means by
which, when gas is burned in sitting rooms, the
air can be kept moderately cool nnd moist Al
the Year Round.

came to light on that day. Rocks that hereto
fore were invisible appeared In their full.grOwn

eobstsruation among the fnny tribes. The
