Cheap Gas for Fuel,

The miracle of making water burn
has just been. achieved in England.
Mr.. Ruck, practical chemist, is tho
inventor. The water being first re-
duced to- steamMthe exhgust" steam
from an h engine will answer--it is
passed through a. rod'bot tube III a
htatingy furnace, where lit ID super.
heated till tho Oxygen and hydrogen
are ready'tossdissolve their alliance.
Itthen is passed into a rctort filed
with incandescent coke 'and iron frag-
ments. The Oxygen is taken up By
the iron, and tho hydrogen passing
through'the 'retort becomes boating
gas, tho cost Of which is but seven
punce por l,000'cubic feet, and' this
quantity is sufficient to boil" SO GAL
Ions of cold water This heating gas
mey be carbonized for illuminating
purposes. ""In this condition it is said
to have anilluminating power equal
to sixteen Candles, and to cobt less
than fifty cents per thousand cubic
feet! -" y" = -
It is contended that this invention
will do away with tho coal scare
now prevalent in England, and great
ly diminish the current rates Of boil
fuel and lights for domestic ant
manufacturing purposes.
