As you are happy to chronicle any new facts let ine make a statement of what has been done at our mill nt Passaic, N. J., since January, 1871, whPU we bad works erected for nse.lty Dr. W. C. Wren of Ikook lyn, N. Y., for the manufacturing of illuml nntinii and heating gas f r m crude pc tro leom. The works are the Inveution of Dr. Wr-'i and we have ever since been usiog thi-tn to light our mill ( which we run all tiivb'j wltb tbe following restil's: Flint, we'nse orude petroleum ;(whloh Is quoted at 6 cents per gallon) and make a fixed permanent gas of e iahty caod'.e power. Secondly, we have no difficulty io making the gas. Thirdly, we make, on an uver age, more than four thooBand feet of of llie-above candle power from one barrel of crude oil, wbioh we use through a burn-r consuming one loot and three tenths per hour. Tbe barrel of crude petroleum, at the rate ol tea Cents per gallon, costs tie, when made into gas, seven dollars; (but is. 1 1 practice it costs us seven dollars for four thousand feet of petroleum pas that goes farther and gives us a better light than seventy dollors worth of coal gas at three dollars and a half per thousand. Tbe above is tbe result in actual practice. If we used coal gas, we should want -five feel and six leet burners lor tbe same light we now get with a 00 e foot and a one and three tenths feet burns;. We buve now bud tbe work in steady and conslaot use tor more tbun two years and, a hall. Tbla is uo "statement by the taveotor," but plain in. disputable fact by a consumer. Tbe retort for making the gas is a simple contrivance, aod Is not given to choking with earbou, as you seem to think probable It is so simple aod easy lo run Ibat we take any mao out of the mill and set hiui at It, Remarks by the Editor of tub Sciex tifio American.
