The following are some of the reasons why
the Topeka gas works are To some extent
failure: The absence OF an experienced su-
perintendent 10 manage the works; the inie-
rior quality of the coal used; the insufficient
publication of the gas, in which operation
not enough lime is used, resulting in the too
great accumulation Of sulphuric acid and
other impurities; the Use Of damp or wet
coal. A sufficient quantity Of coal should
always be kept on hand To give it chance 10
dry. This advice will do for other towns
than Topeka.
