ing in size and capacity, are scattered
about the building, waiting to begin
their work of making gas for the good
people of the Kennebeo valley. The
manufacture of gas such as will be
used for fuel and lighting purposes IN
and about Waterville is complicated
process.
The gas machine which is composed
of five upright boilers. lined with ire
brick, with a total capacity of 20o,o0o
gallons, will receive the steam, shot
into the boilers from the fire boiler d.
rect. Here it is sprayed with gas
oil made expressly for the purpose.
From this section of the generator IL
passes into what is known as the
superheater, and then through
scrubber, which removes the tar, ac-
cumulated in the previous process.
The gas, now in a crude form, passes
from the scrubber into a condenser
where ii is cooled Now it is ready for
what is called the washer box, and
here, as the name would suggest, it is
deprived of it's unnecessary qualities,
oil and tar. Not yet ready Tor con-
sumption the gas passes on into
purifier filled with oxide, where 1t re-
ceives its final cleansing. After this
process which requires about five min
utes, the gas is sent into the large
holder tanks and is then ready to go
cut into the mains.
1t is estimated that 10000 cubic feet
of gas will supply the community for
one day when the plant begins opera
lions. but as the list of consumers IN
ereases a greater amount will be con-
sumed. The machinery now being IN
stalled is capable of producing 10000
cubic feet in ten hours, enough to sup
pIy Waterville for five days.

Republican Unity.

1t may be. as some of the unre-
constructed Progressives in congress
declare, that the Democrats will sue
coed in putting upon the statute books
a presidential primary Law, ii which
case the reforms drafted by the Re
publican national committee distribute
ing representation upon the basis of
the Republican vote of 1908. may
prove to be work Of superogation.
But the Republicans OF the country
are not influenced in forming their
party action by the possible exigen-
cies Of Democratic legislation. The.
fact stands out that the meeting OF
the committee which was looked to by
pessimists az a storm center with the
south Indignantly standing out for the.
present scheme Of representation has
turned out. in fact, to be one Of the
most amicable, serviceable and high
minded sessions of that important
body. The reforms indicated are Of
the widest reach and will place the
Republican party exactly where it
might have been put before this, had
It not been for the deplorable schism.
