DR.. Frederick Rose, the British consul
at Stuttgart, In his report on the trade,
agriculture and finances of Nuremberg
for the year 1899 and part of 1900. says the
London Standard. which forms one OF the
diplomatic and consular reports just is
sued by the foreign office, makes special
reference to the acetylene industry. He
says: zone OF the triumphs OF German
scientific industrialsm has been the rise
and progress OF the acetyfene gas indus
try during the past five years. Before
this time calcium carbide was absolute
ly unknown to the general public, and
even to the trained chemist II was only
known as an interesting chemical COM
pound Today its production forms one of
the most important chemical industries.
In Europe alone over 40, 900 horsepower
is devoted to its manufacture. and when
all the carbide works at present in course
OF construction are completed, this will
have risen considerably. OF all the coun-
tries which commenced 20 interest them
selves in the new iluminant, Germany
was formost In the field, and has secured
an advantage which she has since easily
maintained and considerably increased.
up to July. 1888, $1,000 Jets of acetylene
were Installed: by the end OF 1899 the
number had increased TO 10000. and at
the present moment II amounts to at
least 100000 sets. 1t is at present impossi-
BILE to predict the ultimate result OF the
struggle between this new illuminant and
its rivals. The probability is that petrole-
um will suffer most. that coal gas will be
superseded TO great extent--especially
with regard 10 the lightning of small
towns and that electricity will not be
appreciably affected. Tho acetylene in
Lustry developed an extraordinary fer
tihty of invention In 1857, 6l7 patents were
applied for; IA 1895, 937 No other branch
OF industry Is capable OF showing such
large and steady increase in the number
of patents. Inventions for other illumin-
