How do they make gas?'
First they put about two bushels OF Bit

tort. This retort is heated red hot, and OF
course, the coal is heated red hot, when
the gas bursts out OF ii. as you see it burst

How do they purify itF
First. white hot, IL Is run of into anoth-
er building; then II is forced through long
perpendicular pipes, surrounded with cold
water. This cools the gas, when q good
deal of tar cundenses from IL and runs
down to the bottom OF the perpendicular
pipes. THIS tar is the ordinary tar which
you see boiling In the streets for walks and
roofs.
They now wash the gas. They call it
scrubbing it.
This is done by filling large vessel,
which looks Ike perpendicular steam
boiler, half full Of wood, laid crossways.
Then ten thousand streams OF cold croton
water are spurted through this boiler.
Through the mist and rain, aud between
the wet sticks of wood, the gas passes
coming out washed and cleansed. The
ammonia condenses, joins the water, and
falls to the bottom

passed through watts OF lime aud oxide OF

The gas Is now pure. Ii Is passed

the idains and pipes, till 1t reaches the jet
