ed for it, 1t will cause as great a rev
olution IN the present system of gas
heating as did the. introduction OF
the Welsbach mantle in gas lighting
The inventors claim for radient.
]. That it gives treble the heat
with the same gas consumption as
an ordinary gas fire.. -
2. That it takes up the carbonic
oxide from the air and purifes the at
mosphere.
3. That it does away with the un-
pleasant smell given off by gas fires.
4. That it burns brightly like a
coal fire.
s. That it is as cheap as fire clay
and is inexhaustible.
The two young inventors are con-
nected with one of the largest firms
of gas engineers In the country, and
have been experimenting for years witt,
a view to producing a fuel such as ra-
dent.
Radient will take the place of the
asbestos or fire clay balls. and will, II
is said, give out intense heat. 1t is
made from materials which are now
waste products of chemical works.
The new fuel captures the blue
flame which at present is lost, and con
verts it into intense heat. Radient is
also said to possess the power of re-
taining heat to very great extent.
