Sown bias.—Murdock first used gas to light up his' offices at 'Redrath in 1792. "It would,' says Liebig, "be one of the greatest discoveries of th elt•of any one could succeed in coniknsing coal gas into a w hi t e, d r y, so lid, odorless substance, portable, and capable of being placed one candlestick or bora ed in a lamp." Already is the desire of Liebig be ing accomplished. A mineral oil flowed out of cost in Derbyshire, .obviously produced by slow distilla tion from the coal. On exatninstiort it hasbeen as certained that paraffine, a solid wary substance, hitherto never produced from Goal, could be formed in commercial quantities by a slow and regular dia tilhition. This is condensed coal gas—a solid (ono of olefiant gas desired by Lirbig. In forming caber, this product, dissolved in an oil of a similar compo sition, may be readily obtained instead of the water gases now thrown away: Should• ibis diseovery, be as soccessful'as it promises, a great change will be wrought in fuel as well as illuminating gas.
