New lode Of ~GeEerating Gas from Coal
Great Saving Of Money,
From theNew york PosLl

From the New York POST
The New York Gaslight and Heat
! company, in a pamphlet recently is
| sued, explain tle new system of gem
Grating gas which it is sought TO adapt
TO general use. It is said that poison
is uniformly folnd in the atmosphere
of rooms heated with stoves and fur
naces. In experimenting with a
view to remedy the evil, the investi-
cations have resulted in a new sys-
tenn, which they submit to the public
for approval. This new system con.
sists essentially in subjecting coal,
wood or peat TO the process of distil-
latiOn out of contact with the atmOS-
phere in the usual way, but at low
temperature, just sufficient to elimi-
nate, in the form Of vspor, the vola-
tile products contained in the coal or
other material employed. The va
pOrs as fast as eliminated from the
material employed are conveyed di-
rectly into other retOrts under a much
higher heat than that required TO dis
place the vapors, by which means
they are converted into gas. In the
chemical reaction that takes place all
the vapOrs eliminated from the coal
are ~decOmpOsed and converted into
permanent gas, so that there is no
waste Of material by condensation, 8
in the old process 1t is set down
that the average cost of Illuminating
gas to consumers throughout the
United States is 81 20 per / 600 cubic
feet. This would sm0unttO $40, GOO, 900,
the cost Of Illuminating gas to con-
sumers in the United States at the
present time. By adopting the new
system for the production of gas, it is
claimed that One-half of this enormous
amount, or $37, SOC, 900, could be saved
TO consumers of Illuminating a in
the cities and villages in the United
States now lighted with gas. But the
gas produced by the new system can
be used, and if the saving in fuel
should be equal only to that of light,
then the saving to consumers for fuel
and light would not fall short of 49,
$1,000, when brought into general
use. The new system of generating
gas may be adapted, it is claimed, for
heating and lighting purposes in
towns and villages, even where there
are not more than half q dozen houses,
and, indeed, in villas, factories and
buildings, with greater economy
and convenience than by any other
method.
