. livery user of acetylene gas knows 1 10 dillieulty experienced in obtaining carbide. Now is (lie time to change the lighting system in vour house and install a cleaner, cheaper. and better light, and one which does not require the attention ol the od fashioned acetylene generator, 'there are two distinct principles of lighting, namely, (lie hollow wire system, and the air gas machines.
