Can You Tell?
Who Invented Illuminating Gas

"~ hUNeuIcV NNS
The first practical demonstration Of
the value Of gas made from coal for
lighting was made by Robert Murdock,
a Scotchman. who. in 1907, after some
years Of experimenting. successfully
lighted the workshop Of Boulton Watt.
in Birmingham. England. The advan-
tages Of this kind Of lighting were
so apparent that its use was rapidly
extended. although in many cases the
people We're afraid of it. and for quite
a time its use was confined to street
lighting.
One Of the first great structures 70
be lighted by gas was Westminster
Bridge. London. and great crowds gath
cred nightly to watch the brightly burn
ing lights. II was difficult to remove
from their minds. however. the belief
that the gas pipes were filed with flames
and that the jets were only openings
through which the fire in the pipes
escaped. People sometimes touched the
pipes. expecting to find them hot. Even
the builders themselves were not quite
certain on this point at first. for when
they piped the Houses of Parliament
for lighting them with gas, they made
sure to place the pipes several feet from
the walls, lest the gas. after all. set
fire to the buildings. The use Of illu-
minating gas in private houses devol-
oped quite slowly from this fear. This
was not entirely unwarrantCd. because
at first the plumbers did not know
how to prevent leakage at the joints.
and disastrous explosions followed as
result Of the installations where such
leakage occurred.
The first house in America to he
lighted by gas was the home Of David
Melville. at Newport. II. l. Balti-
more. Nd. was the first American city
10 use gas for street lighting. This
was in 1917.
