are very astonishing. The lights
burning at Mr.. Williams residence
last evening were very powerful, like
incandescent electric lights. They
burned with a large white flame for
gas made in a small generator. The
gas has at least ten times the iliumin-

made at much less cost. Mr. Williams
has purchased a half interest in the
patent and the new light will soon be
introduced in Carson.
