MORE LIGHT!

TFIHE Charlottetown Gas Light Company have imported some of “% Bray's Ruangrs,” which they will supply aha fit on

Gas Brackets, etc, at a moderate cost to consumers, These Burners are reported to be the best

Fiat Flame Burner yet prodaced, and wili give a far greater amount of light than any other Burner with the same consumption of Gas,

Dr. Wallace, F. R. 5. E., F. C. S., Gas Examiner to the City of Glasgow, in a lecture delivered by him, caiculated that £10,000 ($650,000) a year. are thrown away in Glage Kow by the use of imperfect fittings, Ou the subject of Gas Burners he says: “« Another andas I think a better Burner is that called Bray’s regulator, a: d as I consider these the best unien Barners atiainable at moderate cost, I have selected them for @ series of ex- periments,

The keport of the Committee of the Fritish Association of Science to enquire as to the best means forthe developmen of Tight rrom Coal Gas of different qualities—com prising Dr, William Wallace, Peotessor Dittmar, end Mr. Thomas Wills, F. C.S., F. 1, C. E., showed that Bray’s Burner's yielded the grestest amount ot light of all the two or three score of Burners reported apon which included all the Burners of repute in the market,

In a pampi let upou Light and Heat, pub- lished by R. B, Taver, A. M,, be says: “ The cost of Gas as compared with other iilumin« ants is much more economical when ngbtly used, than many suppose, From experiments following results have been obtained, They were made by burning sauples ot Devoe’s Brilliant Oil and ordinary Oils, and testing their illuminating power, It was found that Cov! Gas costing one cent at $3 per thousand feet, gave 8 light «qual to 18 candles, while Devoe's Brilliant Oil covsuming 27.4 grammes coste ing balfa cent, gave a light «qual to 9 candles,

“A good Argand or Johoson’s Burner, the Burner’s used in the last experiment, will therefore give the light of 2 ordinary Oil Burners in direct Comparison, at po greater expense in tbe cas of the finer and safer grades of Oil. Lights,however,on the author. ity of Scientists, are not to be Compared in direct proportion, but in proportion to the squares of their powers, and such & com- parison with the case of the use of Ges, its cleauliness, freedom «from odor and dangers, renders its use desirable wherever it can be sntroduced,”

As the above experiments were made with Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, and not consumed through Bray’s Burners, it will readily be seen bow wuch More economical it Is to con. sume Gas instead of Oil, when its price is only $263 per 10 0 feet as now charged here when consumed, more especially through Bray’s Burners.

Messrs. Goodwin & Co., of Philadelphia, the well-kuown manufacture rs of Scientific in- struments for testing the illuminating power of Coal Gas, etc., say in thei, Circular to Gag Companies ; “Lo presenting the Bray's Stand. ard Patent Slit Union Burners and Lanterne, the Agents in the attention of the public, we are Convinced that we are Siting a want long felt.’ They turther add; ’ The yicid of light from these Burners is 12 to 20 per cent, greater per cubic foot of Gas Consumed than that from any flat flame Burner hitherto in- trodneed, {no 4 eod
