1869, attributed a burning well at Wi

Clayton procured gas by distilling
coal. Practical lighting, however came
very slowly. In 1892, Mr.. Murdoch
Illuminated his house with gas light,
and very poor show it is said to
have been. He lived at Redrut, Corn

tons of the peace of Amiens, brigh-
tened up large factory was gas light.
Thousands journeyed to see the won

being established at that place, and in
