Gas I-ght.
o
ment, new subjects are engaging the pub-
c attention in never ending succession.—
It is the genius of the times to make dis
coverics, tending to bring the arts of civil
life to perfection. Some attempts miscar-
ry, but many succeed; and if the world has
failure of Redheffer, they
may be consoled by the successful advaon-
ces which are daily made towards bringing
the invention of gas light to a state of the
most exteusive utility. We hasten theres
fore to give our readers some account ofa
subject, which is destined to occupy the
public attention, for a time, and probably, to
become a most beneficial and important
improvement. -
‘The Gas, which produces the light is
called carburated hydrogen, ard is a chem-
ical preparation, by a process not unlike
distilling coal, commonly called stone coal,
by which process an inflamable vapour is
generated and conducted from the retort
by a pipe througha cooler in the manner
of commonstilly, by this means and after-
wards passing it through water, the gasis
¢leansed and ‘when burned produces no dis«
reeable smell=—after this it is conducted
by a pipe into a reservoir, where it is kept
for use. It has been for some years used
to light large cotton manufactories in En-
land, and 18 now used to light the city of
London, which is said to be much better
and for less than half the expence than it
had been done before with lamps and oil.
Mr. Murdock was the first who applied
it for lighting on an extensive scale—~He
fitted up the works in the cotton manufac.
tory of Philips and Lee, the largest in En-
sland—also in that of Boulton, Watt & Co.
—afterwards the invention was successful-
ly introduced into a number of manufacto-
rigs 1n different parts of the kingdom with
a vast advantage over any other mode of
illumination—It is distributed through the
buildings by tubes, which may be laid un-
) enti
the light is much clearer and more
than candle light, produces no sparks,
not liable to produce accidents. 3
In the preparation of the Cas, the stone
coal which is used th the retort becomes
charred, and is called cosk, which is as
valuable as any chacoal, besides about ca
near half a barrel of tar from every tonod.,
coal. i
In order to put out the light at any place,
¢ sy where: ue
the light ceases. 5 isies,a0d
: Mr. Windser 18 said to have made con-
siderable improvements in Jighung the
streets of London —He is said to produce
Lights, equal ta 2100 parish lamps, i. e..
such as have hitherto been used in that ci-
tys and to continue eleven hours, with gorne -
thing less thana ton of coal, and that the
valuable remains would be, 16 bushels of
charcoal, 60 ounces pitch, 3 gallons escen
tial oil and 18 gallons of ammouiac liquor
which in that place is worth scarcely as
much as the goal cost at firs:,
Itseems that a company is forming in
Baltimore to light that city in this manner
If this should succeed, other cities and
towns, will soon follow the example.
