GAS FROM PETROLEUM.
An Attractive Theme for Inventors
Well as Consumers,

An Attractive Theme for Inventors as
Well as Consumers.
"Of the many devices employed in the
manufacture of illuminating gas" said a
well-known official of a Brooklyn gas COM
pany to New York Mail ard Express re-
porter, 'none has seemed more attractive
to inventors and manufacturers than the
use of petroleum oil in place of coal Some
very considerable advantages seem pos
SIble by its use, and although it was pretty
thoroughly tried a number of years ago,
and generally discarded, the question Of
substituting it for coal has been revived
and IS again receiving considerable atten-
ton.
There is no Qeestion that the gas which
can be readily enough made from the oil is
very highly luminous, and this is an ap-
parent advantage. But there are other
considerations, and the first of them is the
cost. 1t seems as though it ought to be
cheaper than coal, unless at time when
coal is unusually cheap. The gas from oil
is called of siXty-sandle power, but it is ex-
eeedingly doubtful whether il can be made
to maintain that standard when stored or
delivered in the usual manner to towns or
cities.
Even if it can be sixty candle gas as it
is ordinarily used, it is not worth twice as
much as thirty candle, or three times as
much as twenty-candle gas. The greater
plessures at which the higher qualities
have to be consumed In order to get tho
best results eject the hydro-carbon par
ticles from the burner at such rapid rate
that many of them are wasted and not
burned at all.
There have been many devices for secur-
ing the greatest light from the burning of q
given amount of gas, but most of the in
ventors start wrong. They use small burn
ers and high pressure. When the quality
of gas is stated as of such q candle power,
it can only be compared with other gas that
is used through a standard burner, by test
ing itwith the same burner"
