GAS AND WATER.
IS one as NECESSARY AS TIE
OThER7
Citizens of Large Ci,ies Say II Is.

New York. June l3-In the recen,
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup.
ported by the argumen, that every resi-.
dent Is as dependent upon n supply OF
sas as. upon a supply of good water.
Ii has come 10 pass that the day Ia
horer uses gas as hls only fuel for
cooking. because of economy. and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting, with
modern improvements IN burners. Is
cheaper. better and more satisfactory
than any other Kind OF light Gas
sells al Sl.m per thousand cubic feet
in large cities, and from that 10 rs high
rs $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer Of gas In the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a.set-a-
lenel, and each user makes his own gas
and Is independent of Gas and Electric
Companies. Acetylenc is more per-
feet illuminant than the gas sold by
the big gas companies IN the cities. and
the cost Ia the smallest user is about
the equivalent OF city gas at ~ cents
per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition 10 the many
inventions that have become daily No
ccsslties
The light from an acetylcne fame Is
soft, steady ana brilliant. and In quail
ity Is only rivaled 10y the suns rays.
III water and Il solid material known as
Calcium Carbide are brought into con
tact, the immediate result Is the max.
ing OF this wonderful gas. The genera
tion OF acetylene Is SO simple that cN-
perience or even apparatus Is not neces-
sary 10 make IL, II II is desired 10
make IL for practical lighting. and 10
keep II for immediate use then n smal,
machine called IN "Acetylene Genera
tor" Is employed. There are many re-
sponsible concerns making acctylene
generators. In practice this gas is dis
trlhuted In small pipes throughout
buildings grounds or entire cities and
towns In the same manner rs ordinary
city gas. Acetylene is the only salts
factory means of lighting isolated
buildings located In the country ar
suburbs nj n distance from city gas or
electric plants.
