New York, Jan. 4.-The opening dealings

Otherwise. the general situation showed

Acetylene Gas.

The state of Pennsylvania, in order to
ascertain for its citizens, whether Acety-
Iene Gas was a safe and practical means
of Illuminating country houses and other
isolated buildings, on Dec. 80, 1899. en-
gagged DR.. G. G. Pond, professor of chem
istrv in the Pennsylvania State college,
TO make exhaustive tests OF Acetylehe
Gas and the present style of generating
apparatus now being manufactured. Dr.
Pond after a great deal of work, made
his report to the Department OF Agrlcul-
ture of the state of Pennsylvania, ana
this report was in the form of a bulletin
which was circulated among IT'S clllzehs'
The information that DR.. Pond gives Is
very complete and conclusive, ana whlIe
much of 1t is important, space does not
permit of quoting 40 any great extent.
Among other things DR.. Pond says; 1t
Is essential to emphasize the matter of
cool generation as one of the utmost I'M
portance in Acetylene manufacture. Inc
more nearly the generator conforms to the
simple experiment of dropping little
carbide into a large volume of water, the
more efficiently viii the heat be distrib-
uted and the more perfectly Will cool
generation be accomp lished.
In summing up his report the doctor
SAYS: Everything considered, though
preiudiced against it at the outset, and
absolutely and purely disinterested at
present, after much careful study and
feeling the responsibility of being called
upon to furnish an unbiased opinion in
this matter the writer believes that the
use of Acetylene gas for the illumination
of rural homes. provided it is generated
from good carbide in first class apparat-
us, and all reasonable regulations fol-
lowed is no more fraught with danger
at the present day than any aVailaDl
method of illumination by gas or electrioL
ity, and less so than the usual employ
ment OF petroleum"
The balance of Prof. Ponds report is
very interesting reading, and for the ben
eft of giving it publicity. J. b, Colt Co,
40S East Thirty second street, New York.
have published a pocket edition of Dr.
Ponds report, which is mailed to any one
upon application.
Most Southern suburban homes are
equipped with all modern conveniences
except that OF lighting, and 1t seems as
though acetylene gas will supply a long
felt want If it is all that is claimed for it,
