I,.aI,s In Cas- DIeters.

You viii find some people who are
positive that gas companies blow OF
pump air from the works into the
gas mains during the day to make the
meter go around and to make the in
dex register. This is sheer nonsense,
for not only can the consumer at any
time by lighting a burner convince
himself that the pipes contain illu1ni-
mating gas and not air, but where no
gas is burned and the house pipes are
tight the consumer, by watching the
small index hand of the meter dur
ing the day, Will find that it remains
stationary.
Another widespread belief is that
manufacturers of gas meters and gas
companies work hand in hand to de-
fraud the consumer, whereas the fact
Is that gas meters are measuring ma
chimes constructed with accuracy and
on scientific principles by responsi-
BILE manufacturers, and that before
use all machines are tested as to their
accuracy by special state meter In

be simple and effective method and
with satisfactory results. Itconsists
in first tamping a layer of the body
forming material in a mold, one in
ner vertical wall of which is formed
by a vertically movable slide. Aft
er this the process is continued by
removing the slide and tamping a
layer of the facing material i'm the

slide, then replacing the latter with
its lower end resting on the tamped
facing layer-tamping now the sec
ond body forming layer and again
removing the slide and tamping the

Of the body and facing material is
continued in this manner by success,
siYe steps until the face block of the
desired thickness is an accomplished
fact. In this way there is produced
material of cheap substances and a
facing of better quality, showing any
kind of finish desired, the two being
united while in a plastic condition
into a homogeneous block.-New
