MULTIPLYING USES OF GAS.

Few people have an adequate idea Of the i'm
mense number Of gas appliances now on sale
and in actual 1t is a very instructive thing
for any one not posted in the subject to take up
the catalogue of some large f'rr In the business,
and see to what an extraordinary range OF do
nestle fixtures gas Is now applied. Here. for
example, is the illustrated catalogue OF house
dealing extensively in gas appliances, and In
turning over its leaves one gets some concep-
ton Of the entire new industry which has been
created by the Of gas for fuel. There are.
Of course, gas ranges in great variety, and OF
all sizes and prices There are all kinds OF gas
logs and CRATES ard gas stoves These are
now in such common that they are no
longer strange. But there are. in addition,
broers and combination broilers and water
backs and grids and browning dishes and hot
closets and plate warmers and pastry ovens and
carving tables and oyster stewers and waffle
stoves and iron holders and curling irons and
driers and roasters-in fact. no end of contriv-
ances and implements for household use all in
tended to be operated by gas. 1t Is nothing more
or less than a domestic revolution. These firms
are not in the business for fun They are SELL
ing their appliances by the thousand. and thou
sands are buying and using them with the great
est satisfaction.
