GAS FUEL IN BRITISH MINT.

I Four tons Of gold viii on an average
be melted down each working day in
the wonderful new melting house now
being completed ready for service next
year at the royal mint. near To the
Tower Of London. Tho new melting
house will be the most complete in the
world. II is much larger than the ex-
listing one. and is to contains ten fur
naces. all heated by gas. The present
melting house has only four such fur
naces. Gas furnaces alone are now
used at the royal mint for the melting
down Of precious metal. coke furnaces
having been finally banishcd in March
last. No less an amount than CSC
100000 worth Of gold has been melted
down BY gas since the special furnaces
were introduced.
Many experiments We're caddicd out
before gas was accepted as the best
medium for the melting. In connec-
ton with the tests Mr. Rigg. the su
Perintendent of the operative depart
ment. paid number of visits TO fac
tories In London and the country and
made a tour in Canada and the Unit
ed States with the object of obtaining
evidence as To the value of gas as a
frel At length a special type OF fur
mace was designed by officials at the
mint. and a gas turncr made By ;.
y. Brayshaw 81 Manchester was
adopted.
Ordinary gas is taken from the
street main Tor the melting and mixed
with air from a powerful blowing en-
CINE. Ii is found that by the use OF
gas the crueibles for the gold last
longer than they did when coke was
employed each crucible enduring
eighteen heatings under gas as against
twelve under coke. In addition. the
cost is less. having been reduced from
Z pence to pence for each hundred
weight of gold melted.
