My experiments, which will be found in detail in tho " Journal of tho Society of Arts, of December 23, 1872, show that a light can bo pro- | duced from mineral oils from FORTY to FIFTY PER i CENT, cheaper than the same light from ooal gas, : costing THREE SHILLINGS and NINEPBNCE per 1,000 cubic feet." f The testimonials rcceivod by Mr. Sllber are very numerous, and all express surprise and admiration at the immenso success ho has obtained, and anyone desirous of perusing the same we shall bo most happy to furnish witb[thoie in our possession.
