1t would be supposed after reading the
ABOVE that this gas could ouly be used for
heating and power purposes. This is
not 50, however. About nine months ago
Professor Lowe after much study sue.
ceeded in applying it TO illuminating pur.
poses. An incandesccnt light is produced
by allowing a lighted JET of the cheap
lucl cas- to come in contact with a suiral
OF lndestructble metal This is heated
to a white heat, becoming brilliantly lum-
nous, the gas meanwhile burning appar-
emily without fame. There is positively
NO iiicNerine OF the light, as Is the case
with gus. The cheapncss OF the gas
used in producing the light may be
huic0Iod by the statement of the
inventor that a light OF twenty candle
power VIII cost the consumer but one
/ quarter oil cent per hour for the gas.

render some substance incandescent.
Not only is the simple light an acknowl-
