BOTTLED GAS.
Householders in the many islands and inaccessible districts around Stockholm are receiving a gas supply in bottles. All the housewife has to do is to keep a. constant supply of gas bottles by her, and all the advantages of gas cooking and heating, although the ordinary pipe supply is not available, are at_ her command. The houses are provided with gas piping and fitments, but the inordinate expense of laying the supply across stretches of water or difficult country are obviated. The idea originated towards the end of last year. The Stockholm Gas Company took it up and began canvassing for "bottled gas" subscribers. Those who agree to take the service have their premises fitted with a metal cupboard containing a reducing valve, a pressure gauge, and space for two cylinders of gas, with the necessary connections and piping to the gas cooker. The cylinders are filled with gas under a pressure of 21301b per square inch — a quantity equal to about 350 cubic feet at normal" pressure. One cylinder can be away for refilling while the other is maintaining the supply. The customer must transport the cylinders from and to the gas works.
