with This You May Blow out the Ga.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

TIOm the 81. LOUIS GIODe-DemOCral.
A device for permitting the hayseed
guest to blow out the gas in his bedroom
at the city hotel without inconvenience to
himself of anybody else has been patent
ed by a West Haven, Conn, man. The
burner is made of a metal having great
expansive and contractive properties. The
gas is turned on in the regular way ana
a small screw is turned which admits a
small flow of gas through the burner.
The gas is lighted, and the heat expands
the metal and automatically opens valve
permitting a full flow of gas. The gas
can be turned off in the ordinary way,
but if the gas is blown out the metal
contracts, closing the valve, and all the
gas that escapes is the very small guam
tity admitted by the screw valve.
