Gas From Sawdust.

There are several large lumber mills
in Deseronto, Canada, and the town is
partially lighted by gas obtained from
sawdust from them The sawdust is
charged In retorts which are heated by
q wood fire. The gas from these retorts
passes into series Of coils and thence
into the purifiers, which are similar to
those used for coal gas. Lime is used as
a purifying agent. The plant is not q
very large one, and it only turns out
GAO meters Of gas per day, for which
about two tons Of sawdust are required.
A man and boy furnish all the labor
needed at the works The best quality
of gas comes from resinous weeds. One
hundred kilogrammes Of sawdust leave
a residue of 90 kilogrammes of char
coal. and the gas in an ordinary burner
gives an illumination of about Is can
die power. .GNxsxEEEsxG VA rEEfH
