The Argand Burner.
Washington. 1 believe. has the distinc-
ton of being the only city on the face of
the earth that uses this burner described in
this bill.
1T is provided that the company shall
furnish gas giviT g twentytwo-candle

an English parliamentary standard Argand
burner twenty-five years ago. In London
today they use. for their low candle power
gas, from fourteen to sixteen candles which
IS good gas for London. an Arga nd burn
er Here Is the official burner which they
employ, which Is an entirely different struc-
ture, for their higher candle power gas in
London, gas having a power of about
twenty.
They use a fiat flame burner There Is

don. that is. gas having a candle power of
about twenty. Here is a copy of the in
etructions sent me by the gas referees In

which they prescribe an Argand burner for

Following that practice the fiat flame

the cities of this country, as far as I know.

Il have here two burners. This Qndicat-

be taken into consideration.
What 1t Can Afford.
Now. gentlemen, 1t seems to me that
the simple question for you to consider.
and the fair and just question for you to
consider with reference to the question of
the price and quality OF gas, which you
have before you. is to ascertain what this
gas company can afford to do, treating II
justly and literally and from that stand
point.
There can be no judgment by a gentle
man who may live three thousand miles
from the city Of Washington, who knows
nothing whatever about the question of
the cost OF the transportation Of material
and the cost Of material here, as to the
price at which gas should be furnished
here.
Il am satisfied that the gas company can
prove that, with its present apparatus.
with the price it pays for material for La.
Dor. with the illuminating power and Quail
ity OF the gas that Is now required thew
cannot continue to pay dividends of 10 per
cent and take care Of their stock and sell
gas at 81 per thousand.
1T Is only necessary to take this subject
up directly as to these various costs, the
cost OF coal. the cost OF Oil, the cost OF Ia
Dor and the erection Of these plants. and
then what 1t costs this company Otherwise
to operate the plant. in order to discover

Raising the Standard.
For instance, the Manhattan Company
has two coal gas plants today In operation
and we also have the old METROPOLITAN
works still making coal gas and enriching
it with OIL with candle power of twenty
two, perhaps, on an average
Senator Faulkner-You think then it
would be fair to raise the standard from
twenty-five to twenty-four and use Bray's
burner No. as the test:
Mr.. Love-I do. sir.
Senator Gallinger-How would 1t be to
raise 1t to twenty-sfx, the point at which
you have 1t in New York?
Mr.. LCve-The difficulty about that would
be that the average of twenty-six is made
UP by taking an average Of a great num-
Der of water gases and of very little coal
gas. In Washington you have gas which
is composed Of one-third coal gas. I think
you would find that, on the whole, twenty
four or twenty five candle gas with fat
flame burner would be more satisfactory
than twenty-six candle gas.
Senator Faulkner-Without any reference
to the interests of the company, which
would make the best Illuminating gas,
twenty-four. twenty-five or twenty-six can
die power?
Mr.. Lowell am looking at 1t only from
that standpoint and not from the stand
point of the interests Of the company in
which I have no interest whatever.
Senator Baker-What do you say about
what the candle power should be?
Mr.. Love| have tested 1t for two weeks
and I think the average would be about
twenty-four and half by that burner.
Senator Fauikner@Throwing out of con-
sideration the interests OF this company
what, in your judgment would be the best
candle power, give the best illumination
and give the best satisfaction with q gas
manufactured Of one-third coal and two
thirds water?
Mr.. Level should say twenty-four can
die power by a Bray burner.
Senator Galltnger-That would be Just
what we have now.

CONSUMPTION IS CURABLE
Further Evidence of the Excellent Work
Done at the Koch Medical
Institute

Nothing succeeds like success, and
the results obtained by any given meth
cd or system of treatment are the best
evidences of the success or failure of the
system.
The results obtained at the Koch Med
ical institute, by the use of their i'm
proved tuberculin" in the treatment of
consumption, are such as demonstrate
the success of their system and of their
remedy. New evidence is constantly
being produced, and many patients suf-
fering from tuberculosis have already
been cured, and many more are improv-
ing constantly, thus confirming results
previously obtained. The physicians at
the Koch Medical institute are proud of
their success, and point to their cured
patients as evidence of the value of their
remedy md of their treatment.
The testimony of a patient recently
discharged is given below, and, like
every other testimonial published, is
open to the fullest investigation. What
i,as been done for one can be done for
others and afflicted persons are invited
to investigate. Consultation free.
