Price of Coal Find Substitute from
 Wood is Available and Sufficient.
 London, July 26.-Gas made from old oak logs is now being supplied successfully to the inhabitants of Stelning in Sussex. Other towns are rapidly following suit. It is claimed that this wood gas has practically the same heating and lighting propertie. as coal gas and it's use means a say ing of more than half dollar per ] .000 cubic feet to the consumer. The Steyning gas works being threatened with closure owing to the prohibitive price of coal, about f5 S .on, the carbonization of wood was resorted to an experiment, with the result that wood gas has been definite ly adopted as a nilluminant until the price of coal comes down.
 At Birmingham, old road paving hlocks have been converted into wood gas with equally satisfactory results.
