VIII Demonstrate.

Mr.. Burrows is ma king arrange
ments to fit up a demonstrating room;
so that people may see how natural
gas can be used. He said:
1--WE will show that the old style
cooking stove can be equipped with
gas burners to do the same work as it
does with coal or wood for fuel. We
will also show that the hard coal base
burner, or the round oak stoves, can
be used without the consumers going
to the expense of buying new stoves.
We will also have on exhibition new
stoves built especially to burn natural
gas, and all other contriYances IN
which gas is used. We will have this
show room fitted up as quickly as pos
sible after we get the supply of gas.
Mr.. Burrows says that for lllunlnat-
ing the Welsbach burner, or some
other improved burner, should be
used. as the candle power of natural
gas is lower than that of manufac-
tured gas, and the heat power Of nat
ural gas can best be utilized for light
ing with such improved burners.

Kansas City, Kan, May 26.-lt is the
expectation of the Wyandotte Gas com
pany that natural gas will be used by
5000 to 5000 families here not later than
September 1. The exact date for turn
ing natural gas into the Wyandotte Gas
company's mains cannot be foretold. It
depends on the completion of the pipe
lines from the natural gas fields.
so far as our company is concerned
we are ready to turn natural gas into
our mains in the Armourdale part Of
the city on very short notice. said
George S. Burrows, a gas expert, who
came from the eastern gas fields to
manage the equipment department OF
the Wyandotte Gas company. The pipe
line from the gas fields has been laid TO
a point a few miles beyond Argentine
but whether it will take two weeks or
month or more to bring 1t to the city
limits we are not in position to say
Our mains have been laid across the
Fifth street bridge in Armourdale and
we will be ready to take natural gas from
the pine line on the hill in Greystone as
soon as the company is ready TO supply
it to US ArmOurdale will first be sup
piled, and from there we Will work
north, extending the service until we
are supplying natural gas to every part
of the city where we have mains.
How to Burn Natural Gas.
Natural gas viii be supplied by the
Wyandotte Gas company at first for
domestic use. In fact, no preparations
are yet being made to supply 1t for
manufacturing.
I'VE can burn natural gas IN any
thing in which coal is burned" Mr..
Burrows said. There will be very
little change in the equipments from
those in use where manufactured gas
is used, and these changes will be
much less expensive to the consumer
than one would suppose. Natural gas
contains slightly more moisture than
manufactured gas, and an open fame
in a closed room is apt to cause de-
posit of moisture on the windows. For
this reason it is advised that gas stoves
and ranges be connected with hues.
But even this is not necessary where
there is proper ventilation. In eastern
cities where natural gas is used many
stoves and ranges are connected with
fues and many are not. We viii ad-
wise that new iron tops be placed on
stoves and ranges, and this VIII be
only a small expense. The only other
change necessary will be to make the
tube through which the gas is forced
into the burner somewhat smaller, to
reduce the flow. Natural gas is nearly
one-haIf hotter than manufactured
gas and it win require much less of 1t
to do the heating than would be re-
ouired where manufactured gas IS
used I"
