By use of vertical retorts an Eng
fish inventor has so improved the sys-
tenn of gasmaking that his work prom
ises what is practically a revolution
In this industry. BY constructing re-
torts that are fed from the top and by
providing for new circulation OF hot
gases the designer has lessened the
cost of production and raised the quail
ity of all the products of the gasmak-
ing process to wonderful degree. The
principal feature of his improvement
Is the continuous carbonization Of coal.
which he has secured in place of the
older intermittent process. Instead of
constant fresh drawing and changing
of retorts. requiring the labor Of many
men. he has accomplished an unbroken
