| gone into 1t. The first tests were used by
| burners that we called "Argand" burners:
| that is, burner with a chimney over it,
| so that it would induce the oxygen to
| come in contact, twenty-four holes to the
| burner. and that ran along for years and
years as a test of candlepower. Then
| the law was not changed but the recon-
| mendation was made by the referees that
| they be allowed to use a fiat flame, be-
| cause they felt it was more exact test
! Of the gas, and there was no aid to it;
| there was no chimney over 1t to induce
more oxygen to come In contact with it.
| and today all over the world, Germany
| and France, and all over the civilized
world. the fiat flame is used. and 1t is
considered a better test than the Argand
| burner, and we are using 1t here, OF
| course, because it Is used all over the
| world. We did not adopt it. Other peo-
pie adopted it, and we followed suit.
Mr.. Tucker-The point wanted to bring
out is this: Were we getting .,I the same m e
round flame test as we are getting to-
| day?
| Mr. McIlhenny-Precisely the same.
| Mr. Tucker--There was a great deal of
power of the gas. I remember members
| of the House of Representatives came
before this committee and testified that
| the gas was unsatisfactory. Now. those
The question is, Why is that? Were you
furnishing a larger amount of coal gas
4 than you are at this time?
/ Mr. McIlhenny-I will tell you, Mr..
i Tucker, what happened here that made
that great cutlery about the quality of
the gas. Coal gas. in its manufacture,
| produces. in cold weather a substance
called naphthaline. which accumulates in
| the pipes. 1t looks like snow when you
| see 1t. 1t is a white. crystallized sub
| stance. and it is the richest part Of the
gas; 1t is a rich hydrocarbon. and in
cold weather, when the pipes come in
l contact with the cold, it fills up the pipes.
| One winter here. I think. there was hard
ly a pipe in Washington that was not
| filled up with it. and 1t reduced the
pressure SO that we could not get the
gas to the people. and besides that it
took out the rich illuminating elements in
it. but 1t happened only one winter. We
put on / don't know how many men, I
suppose one hundred men. in the city to
go and clean the pipes cut and look after
them. all we could hire.
Mr.. Taylor-How did you prevent that
accumulation in the future?
i Mr.. McIlhenny-We do not have it with
water gas: it is not SO bad.
Mr.. Taylor-1t is essentially q product
Il of coal gas?
Mr.. McIllenny-Yes.
Il Mr.. Taylor--And it does not show SO
much, or did not become dangerous with
water gas?

Mixed After Making.

Mr.. Forstall-Exactly and until very
recently there were any number of plants
in Brooklyn in which the two were made
as an entirely separate proposition. The
oil gas was made in one plant. the water
gas in another, and they were mixed
after each left it's apparatus.

Government Ownership.

Mr. Sims-Government ownership
Mr.. Forstall-Yes. In some cases the
municipality makes profit and re- uiates
the rates by it. and in other cases they
reduce the profit and sell it at absolutely
cost price. On the continent of Europe
the price Of oil is still higher, because the
countries are protectionist and do not
produce OIL Most of the oil has to lie i'm
ported with very high tariff il.
But even there
Mr.. Moore-You said something about
protection Does that increase the cost
of the manufacture there?
Mr. Forstall-Yes. The economic con-
ditions are not as favorable for the use
of water gas on the continent of Europe
as they are in America, for instance. bet
still even there. the amount of carbureted
water gas has been steadily increasing,
while the result in Germany. and coun-
tries in the vicinity of Germany, where
oil is especially expensive. has been that

you care to have that?
Mr. Taylor-Yes.
Mr.. Forstall-There are eighteen towns
that have q town supply of bue-water

Mr. Sims-For Illuminating?
Mr.. Forstall-Yes.
Mr. Sms--I did not know it had any

There is a smaller amount of nuisance
from the manufacture, nuisance to the
neighborhood. 1t is practically impossible
to manufacture coal gas without large
amount of smoke coming out from the
works. Every time the retorts are opened
and the coke is drawn. unless all the gas
has been taken out of the coal-and that
is not the very best practice, TO take
every bit of the gas out-there is bound
to be more or less smoke. / recall case

that have been given, l do not think that
| the nature of carhureted water gas has
| really been made clear. 1t has been
| spoken Of as water gas mixed with oil,
| but it is not. 1t is water gas mixed
with oil gas. The gas does not become
carbureted water gas until the oil is
| changed into oil gas. and that is the
reason why the percentage of carbon
monoXde in carbureted water gas varies
with the candlepoWer A low candle
| power water gas Is mixture, say, of
| 70 per cent water gas and so per
cent of oil gas. The oil gas has no carbon
monoxide in it, or practically none; the
| water gas has the So or possibly
40 per cent of carbon monoXide. The
| high candlepower carbureted water gas
is mixture of. say. 60 pea cent water
gas with 40 per cent of oil gas. Nat
| urally the high candlepower water gas
has less carbon monoXide in it than the
| low candlepower carbureted water gas.
| I could see it was not perfectly clear. 1t
| is very common: part Of my business is
the carrying on of a correspondence class
| in gas engineering. 1t is philanthropic
| thing, not on my part. but the students
are not expected to pay anything for
their education. 1t is gotten up by the
gas companies Of the United States and
| or 5000 year.
| Mr.. Moore-The oil product is made as a
separate product, and then 1t is mixed?
| Mr.. Forstall-It can be made that way,
Uul III Tic PlOCCSS VI iildhlIiS
| carbureted water gas there are three
! vessels three shells, wrought iron shells
| lined with fire brick. One of them is filled
with anthracite coal or coke. any car
oonaceous fuel. The other two are filled
| with brick filled in on edge with spaces in
between. The water gas is made in the
| vessel that Is filled with the coal; the oil
gas is made in the vessel filled with the
| checkered brick. and the Oil gas is mixed
with the water gas just as soon as 1t
| is made. There are certain manufac-
| turing reasons why it is better to make
| 1t that way than it is to make it in two
separate plants. The gas plant of which
| DR.. Love spoke to you made it's water gas
and oil gas in two separate operations. The
water gas was made first, put in a holder.
| and then taken out OF that holder and
| the naphtha vapors added to it, and
| then the oil gas and the naphtha vapor
passed through a retort.

gas is mixed with all and you make a
