BURNS GAS WITHOUT FLAME
British Professor Obtains High
Temperatures at Low Cost.
Nv Cable TO The Tribune. !


London. NAV s.-The supremacy Of gas
as fuel for all industrial and domestic
heating purposes Is among the revoiu-
tionary developments anticipated in con-
sequence Of recent research at LEEDS
University. Means have been discovered
by which gases can he made to burn
without flame and yield temperatures
that have been hitherto unattained by
gaseous combustion. This has been Sc
cured with an economy in practice quite
beyond the hopes Of the widest optimist.
Leeds in the words OF the independent
EXPERT who examined the first CONNER
cial application of the developments
has discovered the chearest method OF
raising steam that has yet been devised
Details of the phenomenon of fiameless
reat which underlies this important dls-
covery were given before the Cavendish
Society, at Leeds University, last even
ing by Professor Bone. professor-eiect
of fuel at the Imperial College OF Science
and Technology. These results. sa,d
Professor Bone, were the outcome OF
many years of scientific research.
The distinguishing feature OF the ne"
process. he added, was that an explosive
mixture of gas and air caused comous-
ton without flame, and. in contact WIN
a granular incandescent solid. resulted
in a large proportion Of potential energy
of gas being converted into radlant lorn'
A temperature of $500 degrees Fahren-
heit has been obtained by this method.

CHAMBERLAIN ON HOME RULE
Thinks England Will Not Subsidize

London Nav THE Home Rule debate

to-day by Austen Chamberlain, who
tainted the Liberals with the lack Of con-
viction shown in their speeches that the
present hill would settle the Irish question
The financial schemes, he declared. would
most certainly break down. for England
would not long tolerate substituting semi
independent Parliament sitting in Dublin.
Far from alternating the congestion of
business at Westminster, he continued the

bill said IL was impossible TO establish an
Irish Parliament under circumstances which
would compel an increase of taxation in
Ireland by from IL To 20 per cent. Under
the hill there was a prospect that the an
nual grant would be reduced to the vanish
ing point. hut the Cnionist policy would in
crease the amount given by the United
Kingdom la ireland.
The fact that Irish Nationalist in times

that they would not he loyal under home

fore those countries got self-government
The attitude OF the Nationalist members
In earlier years was the invariable attitude
OF the representatives of people who were
