: FACTORY' r —rn-rmi «i mi M g “Crescent” air gas may bo described as a complete town gas supply in miniature, with all the uses and advantages of coal gas, but infinitely safer, cleaner and loss costly to run. It constitutes a self-con-tained equipment for country homesteads, churches, hotels, hospitals or entire townships. In tho“Cresceut” installation et Birregurra, Victoria, miles or piping is employed, and the servieco is giving the utmost satisfaction.

Besides iliuminai ion in its various forms, the gas > nswers admirably for gas lircs, stoves boaters,irons, vulcanizors, sterilizers and brazing apparatus. Complete combustion being assure! by the large proportion of air (!;; per cent.), there are no fumes given off. ' Wall switches may be flltod, giving the same convenience rs electrics tv: press the button 1 Tims the term ‘'‘electric gas,” The gas geihVf Tor combines tiie principles of a motor car and a grandfather clock. The instant a burner (or burners') bo turned on in the house, the machine of its own accord generates the necessary supply of gas. Similarly the machine automatically ceases to produce gas the moment all burners arc turned oir.

Tho system requires very little attention. Fill the holder with benzoline, wind up the weight, and the machine does the rest. No host is required to generate tlio gas, and not one drop of liquid petrol enters the house. The most important part of any air gas, is its means of vaporising the benzoline. The old idea was to drip the spirit upon g«uze or wicks, and trust to the inako of air to do the rest. In warm weather, this method though somewhat crude, gave fairly good results, hut when it came to cold snaps or sea air, tho waste benzoline th it clogged the workings and had frequently to ho removed, was a constant source of annoyance. Only by moans of continual adjusting and regulating could anything like good results he obtained" In tho “Crescent, ” a proper mechanical carburetter is provided to cope with this contingency and so well does it act that every drop of spirit is vaporised no mattter how cold the weather; there is never any waste petrol or dirty water to remove, also no adjusting beyond what wss done at the factory.
