exhibitor assured his perspiring guests,
without danger Of contraction, that
the apparatus before them would heat
q tenroom house in the coolest day in
winter. 81 don't doubt it, said one.
/" especially with you to manage it. :"
/" Any child can run it, was the reply.
I" [ will guarantee to back the freshest
Iarriyal from Tipperary to understand
it i'll five minutes"
And then, to show the ease and
simplicity OF its operation, togetherI
with its use in the kitchen, he gave
zone of the faucets another little turn
and the white, furious fame, subsidized
to the proper intensity for cooking. A
round Of steak, suitably placed on a.
gridirOn, was served up quickly and
in excellent style, every part Of the
meat being equally done by the smooth,
even fire. An omelet having been
made with like good success, a large
porcelain kettle, filled tWo-thirds with
water, was set over the flames on
! q cOne-Shap8d support, and the fire
started up by another little turn at the
water fauscet. just in four minutes
and half the water began boiling all
around the edges, and in another min
ute WAS seething and f0ming al
most over the top. During ali these
operations there was no trace Of smoke,
ashes, OF dust, and the temperature
throughout each experiment was as
uniform as the facility was astonishing
with which it was increased or dimin-
ished when desired. The fire was at
last put out as readily as it had been
lighted, and with the same absence Of

But Mr.. H--,What about the
Illuminating powers; we've heard it
said your giant pigmy here can give
better gas than all the Chicago gas
and coke companies put together"
Now you've struck it, gentlemen,
and in this point lies its chef excellence,
and the main reason that I've had the
little thing patented. It not only
toaStS your shins and browns your
toast, but generates the best and cheap
east gas known in the market. Why,
look here"
And then the elated inventor Igtod
two jets on q chandelier in the corner,
and demanded if any one ever saw
more brilliant light. Though ageing
and obliged to use epoctacles,. he de-
IclareG he could read his INTER OCEAN
at night at q distance CT forty feet
from Q single jet fed by this gas. It's
Illuminating capacity, as compared
with that Of common coal gas, he as
. GoFtn6 FROM 4,,O
er, as against Is to 20 candle power for
the latter. This ratio in favor of eva
ter gas" had been reported by The
Boston special commissioners on the
subject, and he himself had confirmed
the correctness Of the figures by ex-
periments.
"But," put in al interrupter, '"you
don't pretend that the manufacture of
water gas is anything new in theory;
you yourself have just referred to the
Boston commission, and it is we'll
known that extensive generators oil
! this gas have been established inTOledO,
Trenton, n. j., and elsewhere, supply
| ing large numbers Of the inhabitants
VERY true, | grant you. I'm no
plagiarist, and freely admit the gener-
al principle to be an old one, but my
individual application I claim is en-
tirely new and unique. That retort
there Oh the bunch of spirals and con-
Meeting with the gasometer yonder
is my own invention, and there's
millions III it, not only to me, but in
money saved to the people. BY mol
other invention can each individual
householder manufacture his own gas,
and that, too, by the same fuel byI
which his wife is drying the clothes
and baking the bread. That little
machine can be set in any kitchen
stove in this city, however cracked or
broken down, and do all those Jobs |
like little man. Why, just see how
simple it is
So saying, the enthusiastic host
began lecturing his audience in sc;en-
tific terms, showing how the supply Of
water in the various compartments Of
the Tet0rt and vaults was converted
into fixed gases, and then what chemi-
cal changes resulted in their cOmbina-
ton and combustion, until the great
desideratum was reached in q ''gas for

good qualities.-L1ateT Ocean.
