GAS TIP CAME AS ACCIDENT
~"InventIon," II Such Il Can Be Called,
10 Credited to Eccentric Young
Scot0man.

While practically all Inventions
having to do with the rendition Of the
essential public utility services have
romantic histories. none Is more In
teresting than that Of the gas tip, so
common in homes and factories where
there is gas illumination.
Thomas Murdoch, a ScOtchman,
who Is generally referred to as 1.-The
father Of the gas industry" desired
to stop the flow Of gas which was
burning from an open tube during
one Of his experiments, more than
100 years ago. To accomplish this, he
clapped a thimble over the fame. The
thimble had been pierced and the gas
coming through the hole in smaller
volume was brought into contact with
a greater proportion Of air at the
point Of combustion. This incident Is
said to have been responsible for thu
origin Of the gas tip"
Murdoch was a queer young man
addicted to wearing wooden hats. HI
made a lantern by fixing a tube ir
the neck Of a gas-flled bladder. The
sight Of him wandering around al
night with the strange beacon fllet
the neighborhood with dismay and
ZONE people suspected him Of being ir
league with Lucifer.

than the nightcap, which reminds us
wildly of the illustrations to the stor-

are equally attractive. Many artists
have derived direct Inspiration from
these little wonders. The fan tracery In

The reason for this pessimistic con-

The car was crowded and Collins
was hanging to a strap. He fell to

seated opposite. Her hair was light

moment Sin his direction, were his
~favorite cOlor-at least, at that mo-

On one side OF her sat a swarthy,
mean-visaged individual, a common
subway type. On the other sat a
puffy-faced gentleman, reading his
newspaper. Collins had totally for
gotten the girl by the time the train
stopped at Brooklyn bridge.
Suddenly his attention was drawn
to her by hearing her exclaim in a
low, well-modulated voice, but express
