A Contemporary says : — "A patent for a new mode of manufacturing gas. has been taken out by an ingenious German resident in London. The gas, which has one-third more illuminating power than x that at present in use, can be produced at less than one-fifth of the present cost; and in such a form that it can be carried aboutin a pocket-flask. It has been thoroughly tested by Professor Tyndall, and has for some time been experimentally in use iu|Ah several of the Metropolitan EailwayPW carriages. Not long ago the directors of the London and North-western Railway met for the purpose of having the new gas exhibited to them, and it is understood that they were eminently satisfied with the result. The use of the patent for one country hss, it is said, been already sold f0r.£70,000. 'v For re.maintkfcof news see fourth page.
