In a paper read by Mr. Goetz before

Engineers. on the nature and efficiency
of producer gas, the position was taken
that, though such gas is undoubtedly
the cheapest fuel gas that can be made
answering all purposes where the air
necessary for its combustion can be
heated by the offgoing heat Of the fur
nace-tests have nevertheless shown
that producer gas carries too much
nitrogen to permit its distribution TO a
community. since, in consequences u
the presence Of this constituent, It's
calorific power is too low and its hame
extinguishes so easily as to be danger
Gus for household use.
A producer has been designed special
IS .or the large production Of producer
gas, and for making a mixture of that
and water gas; and experience shows
that the lines to be given to a producer
should depend usss the nature of the
coal to be gasified, and. having large
cleaning and ashpit doors on both sides
opposite each other. the producers can
be cleaned without great difficulty,
even when a large accumulation OF
clinkers has taken place.
In order to get a gas very low in car

than is generally carried in producers is
necessary, and to tins end a pneumatic
rammer is now employed, so construct
