NATURAL GAS.
WATERBURY HOMES TO BE
 HEATED BY NEW PROCESS.
An Invention Which Promises to Rev olutionize Modern Methods of Heat Everybody Will Soon Be Using the Champion Oil Burner.


 The writer yesterday saw new in- yention which, when introduced, can not help but reyolutionize the methods of heating cook and other stoves. It is the Champion oil burner exhibited by MT Barnhisel for the Cleveland company, and what it will do is sur prising. The principle of this burner is that common kerosene or coal oil is converted into gas; the oil is placed in large can, which may be stationed 2 dozen or 100 feet away from the stove. The oil is carried through g small rolled pipe to the burner which is set in the fire box and first heated and then as fast as the oil flows 1t is converted into gas, which mixes with 90 per cent of air and 10 per cent of carbon oil gas, passing through the burner and producing a long, super heated blue fanie of intense heat, free from smoke and odor, as well as free from dust and ashes arising from the use of dood or coal.
 MT BarnhiseI is located in Camp block, East Main street, for a few days, representing the Champion Oil Burner Go, Clevland, O., where he will be glad to exhibit the invention to any one. It may be put in any stove with out changing or damaging the latter in the least and after it is in win heat the largest cook stove or range suffi- cient for family cooking for less than S1.5O per month. Wood and coal or even gas in Waterbury is to expensive for the average housewife to burn. Oil is the best substitute, as it has the ad- vantage of wood, coal or illuminating gas, especially the great advantage of economy, with none of the disadvan- tages of wood or coal, and is just what is needed for comfort and effi- c'eney. The company is soon to put the burner in the hands of agents, who will retail them at about $14 apiece. To get them started in this vicinity i onc may buy them direct of the man. ufacturer. free on board of cars at Cleveland for half that sBns for the next few days, during which time an aren't will be appointed. Whether one wiah6s to buv or not. # Sis worth oness vhiIe to viSit fhk st9re to sae taaia i1ls GsnioQe invention
