NATURAL GAS. The industrial importance of tbe supply « patural combustible gas in Pitsburgh and its neighborhood can scarcely and stated in figures. ‘This gas, rising from the pumerous wells, with almost explosive be estimated force, is fast displacing coal in the manufacture of iron, steel and glass and in domcstic economy. The atmosphere of Pittsburgh is no longer heavily loaded with soot, and has become pervious to sunshine. The gas 18 oaking an industrial revolution, It has cheap ned the processes and | products of existing establishments, | and new undertakings are multiply- jog by reason of the great advantages offered by the new tuel, trausterred to this more favored region, while at the same time, bold projects for carrying the gas in large pipes to distant points are freely dis, cussed, and the gas producing ares is being constantly extended by explora. tion® Yet the use of gas in the manu- facture of iron and ceramic products | 2 it was | puddling is uot new, for as early as 187 utilized at Leechburg in furnaces, and at the potteries of Kast 1876. the | Pittsburgh introduced | 1 Liverpool before One of rolling mills at the Ti organized gas as early as 1870, re are now several companies for the purpose of d.illing gas in regular | to wells and supp ying the measured consumers, The celel quantities 1 well rat ed Westin 1g 34, and i about 10use tal ped 1.600 feet. companies draws its listributing four diameter from d by this Company [ gas, or about twenty- nsidered to be equal effect two and s quarter pounds of ¢ al, » most economical mixture appears one volume of Pl ex- gas to eight volumes « { air.

There are already many theories of the sonree of this wonderful gas, and the wildest theorists are the so-called practical men.

There is room for a great diversity of opinion in regard to the permanence of the supply of ges. Prof. Lesley, the geologist of Pennsylvania, declares bildly and strongly that both oil and gas are Lemporary, pro ducts, are sure to be exhausted and evanescent to disappear.
