GAS FIRST MADE FROM
WOOD 100 YEARS AGO
Discovery Due to Experiment of
Young Frenchman

Civilization could turn backward,
like time in its flight, and contemplate
a hundred years of gas bills June 8.
says the Philadelphia North American.
In 1871, in France. was an enthusias-
tic young engineer, Philippe Lebon,
filing a humble glass vial with saw
dust at his fathers home in Brachay
and setting 1t over the fire. The smoke
that disengaged itself from the heat
ing sawdust took fire from a lighted
candle He hastened to build a brick
retort in small furnace set up in the
parental back yard and conveyed the
wood gas to a vat filed with water In
which another vat was inverted, TO
serve as a holder of the water puri-
fed gas He secured an astonishingly
brilliant light, and forthwith boasted
that he would convey both heat and
light from Paris to Brachay. HIS
friends made equal haste to swear that
he had gone mad, But eight years
afterward found him the holder OF a
patent good for the then long term OF
Is years and duly registered in the
patent office at Paris.
Meanwhile the exceptional meehani-
cal genius of Great Britain, William
Murdoch, had been laboring with IN
defatigable zeal and piercing acumen
to produce gas commercially from coal.
The two story attic storehouse stfll
stands in Redruth where Murdocn IN
1892, in the midst of his labors with
James Watt on the nascent steam en-
gine, succeeded in producing the mod
ern illuminant. 1t was then to the
children Of the town place of mystery
and enchantment.
From Paris to Brunswick. in Ger
many, in 1902 there came Frederick
Albert Winsor, a native of Znaim, In
Moravia, who had followed young Le-
bon's experiments up to the point
where the brilliant Frenchman had
devised what he called thermolamp.
He succeeded In awakening some In
terest among the nobility there, but
another year found him in London
demonstrating with coal where the
French preceptor had used wood.
The first gas incorporation bill
gained the royal assent June 8, 1910.
Two years more and the Chartered gas
company was accorded it's incorpora-
tion rights.
The earliest record of the use of gas
for Illuminating purposes in the United
States was in 1913. On November l3
of that year the Bath house, Newport
R. l.. was lighted by hydrogen gas
produced from pit coal,' under a pat
ent of an improved gas lamp, issued
by the president of the United States
to David Melville and Winslow Lewis
