CHEMICAL TLBUMiNA TTONg.

Considerable discussionis still carried
on, in the scientific journals, concerning
the value of the oxhydric light as sub
stitute for the ordinary gas now in use.
In the case of this new illuminating
agent, a fame of the common gas now
in use is fed with n certain quantity of
oxygen, by means of special burners de-
Iivering the common gas at the circum-
ference, while the oxygen passes through
the axis; the two gases, passing through
distinct tubes, mix at the extremity of
the burner.
It appears that very careful expert
ments have lately been made by AI Le-
Blanc of PaHs, to test the qualities and
value of the new gas, the results Of
which have appeared in some of the
Paris newspapers, and been translated
for the Scientific american.
Among the various conclusions arriv-
ed at by N. Leblanc, two or three viii
be noticed here. In the first place, ac-
cording to NJ. Leblanc, illumination
would not be possible over any extend
ed surface by this means, neither is the
method economical, but notably more
expensive than q quantity OF ordinary
gas giving same light. So far, too,
from the combustion by the oxygen be-
ing complete. it would, he asserts, re-
quire mueh more oxygen than conld be
consumed with effect, while the light
would be greatly weakened. Again, If
the ordinary gas be enriched by the vol
atile hydroca-buretted vapors, previous
ly to mixing It with oxygen, 10 viii be
necessary to surmount many difficulties.
In regard to the hygienic effect Of the
new system, N. Leblanc says that with
out doubt such a means of illumination
does not impOverish the air within cir
cumscribed limits so rapidly Of its oxy-
gen as dees ordinary gas. But 10 IN
sure complete combustion the fame re-
quises much more oxygen than is sup
piled, and consequently the light is
