a New Industry for Beuefo,,e

Ihe announcement is made of Il new in
industry Tor BellefOnte which is IN b,.
started within the next two weeks. Ii will
De Il plant Tor the manufacture of Acety-
lene gas and tanks for production of sam.
This Is a new discovery on the market and
II IL meets with the success expected. tn,
ESTABLISHING OF plant at that place will
mean big thing Tor Bellefonte
There Is only one factory of the kind in
the country and that iS located at Nigara.
Fails, y. Y. and is operated by the com
pany eN-Secretary of the Navy William a.
Whitney, is at the head of.
Acetylene gas is of comparatively re-
cent discovery and i made from the
chemical action of water upon bicarbonare
ol lime. The bicarbOn is produced through
the fusion of bituminous coal. lime. and
several other ingredients by means of an
electrical current. 1t i the princinaI
agent In generating gas and Is suspended
IN Il basket in a small galvanized iron tank
To generate gas by this process three
tanks are used. One filled with water
one holding the basket containing the bi-
carbon and the other being the receiver
for the gas. The water from M rms
into No =, where II comes in contact with
the bicarhon aud gas i at once generated.
Ii l. returned through No. To No, ?
which i merely a receiver and when Il,
pounds pressure has been produced an au-
tomato >hut-of stops further generation
until the pressure j. reduced The acety-
iene gas Is a perfect white light. without a
flicker or smoke. The most crucial tests
have proven it To be far more powerful i'm
penetration and illumination than either
electricity or coal gas
Il l. estimated that the new light can be
made for one tenth the cost Of ordinary
coal gas. and can be used for all kinds of
heating. light and motive purposes. 1t
can be consumed through the ordinary gas
fixtures now in buildings, by merely ad-
ding the three tanks mentioned above
The carbide will be placed on the market

as usual within ten days. Mean
while, we are filling mail orders
again with usual promptitude.
If your requests for samples
