a Chamber for gas before passing through ordinary slit in caps of Burner. Lateral openings for filling the chamber a, their direction being at an angle with or across the opening in cap of burner.

Patentees have great pleasure in introducing the ECONOMIC GAS BURNER to the claimed for any other gas burner in present use. This invention may also be called an Anti-pressure Gas Burner, being found to resist a pressure varying from 1 in. to 24 in., and giving a light more than double that of the common tulip burner with the same consumption of gas.

In answer to any inquiry which might be made as to how this greatly superior light can be produced from the same quantity of gas, it might be said-by more completely consuming the carbon in the gas.

It is well known that pure hydrogen gas possesses in itself but a very feeble illuminating property. It is to the presence of carbon, and its proper union with the oxygen of the atmosphere during the process of combustion, that the illuminating property is due. The Patentees flatter themselves that they have succeeded with their Burner in making the gas escape in a more favourable state for the reception of its proper quantity of oxygen, and thus more completely converting the carbon into carbonic acid, by which a better light is obtained, and the black deposition of carbon or soot is avoided. The purity of the light thus produced, it may confidently be asserted, will prove a blessing to all in point of health. It may be said further, in recommending this burner to the public, that it is simple and neat in its construction, easy to clean, not liable to corrode, and being made of brass is likely to last for many years.

TESTIMONIALS.

Saltaire, June 14th, 1859.

Messrs. Oldfield and Dixon, Gentlemen-We have now a considerable number of your Patent Gas Burners in use, and believe there is a great saving over the old burners, but to what extent we cannot say.-We are, gentlemen, yours truly

Messrs. Oldfield and Dixon,

TITUS SALT, SONS, & Co. Low Mill, Keighley, June 16th, 1859. Gentlemen-We have great pleasure in being able to speak very favourably of your Patent Gas Burners, and think the following statement will sufficiently prove an economy in the consumption of gas. About the 20th December last, we placed your No. 2 burners in the shed, and No. 1 burners in the upper rooms of the mill, where the gas had attained a little extra pressure. Previous to the above date we were making gas from five retorts, but since we have been able to dispense with the use of two. We would add that though this gives evidence of a great saving, an equal recommendation rests in the fact of the light produced being of a superior brilliancy and softness.-Yours very respectfully, J. & J. CRAVEN & Co.

Messrs. Oldfield and Dixon, Primrose Mill, Embsay, near Skipton, June 20th, 1859. Gentlemen-We are glad to report favourably of your Patent Gas Burner, but regret we cannot give you a fair statement of the saving per cent., as we had them put on irregularly some weeks after we had begun to light up. We have usually consumed forty tons of coal for gas; this season we have from six to seven tons on hand, and have made the gas required with one retort-previously we were compelled to use two. We consider the brilliancy of the light and the purity of the atmosphere, through the gas being properly consumed, an attainment quite equal to the economy in fuel. We are, gentlemen, yours respectfully, ROBINSON & WILKINSON.

Messrs. Oldfield and Dixon,
Carleton, near Skipton, July 8th, 1859.
Gentlemen-We applied your Patent Gas Burner to all our lights in the beginning of last winter; it gave us great
satisfaction, and we calculate the saving of gas about 20 per cent., besides a much superior light to the old burner.-
Yours respectfully,
WM. & JNO. SLINGSBY.
Messrs. Oldfield and Dixon,

DRY GAS-METERS.

NEW YORK EXHIBITION, 1855.
AND PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION, 1855.

LONDON, March 25, 1859.

THOMAS GLOVER takes this opportunity of thanking Gas Companies and his other Customers for the very liberal support and patronage he has received during the past year, which has far exceeded his most sanguine anticipations, having sold a greater number of his PATENT DRY GAS-METERS since the dissolution of his partnership with Mr. Croll than he was ever previously enabled to do in any one year.

THOMAS GLOVER Confines his sole attention to the business of Gas-Meter Making. The propriety of his doing so is satisfactorily proved by his success; and, without the practice of any quackery, or any attempt to delude the public by an absurd exhibition of "Old and New Valves," his Meters are in general use by the Metropolitan Gas and other Companies in this Country and abroad. For example, one Metropolitan Company have now in use above 12,500 of his Patent Dry Gas-Meters; some of these Meters have been fixed for Fourteen Years, and are still in working order, without complaint from either the Company or the Consumer.

THOMAS GLOVER thinks it necessary to put Gas Companies on their guard against parties selling Patent Dry GasMeters constructed in imitation of his, but unskilfully made on erroneous principles, and with improper and unsuitable

materials.

THOMAS GLOVER'S Workshops are now the most extensive in this or any other country, and he is thereby enabled promptly to execute orders to any extent required. Purchasers may at any time inspect his Works and the Materials of which his Meters are constructed. He is ready to enter into Contracts with Gas Companies and others to uphold their Stock of his Meters for Twenty Years at an annual charge varying from 24 to 5 per gent., and to leave always in the hands of Gas Companies Three Years' charge for upholding, as a guarantee for the fulfilment of the Contrac..

GARRETT AND SONS,

LEISTON WORKS, SAXMUNDHAM, SUFFOLK,

Beg respectfully to call attention to their

NEWLY-INVENTED "FIXED" AND "PORTABLE" COMBINED FINISHING, THRASHING, AND DRESSING MACHINES.

THESE MACHINES have been but recently introduced, and are adapted for preparing all kinds of Grain quite fit for market, in a thoroughly efficient manner. The points in which these new Machines more particularly excel may be stated as follows:

1st. Their compactness; being fully one-third less in size and bulk than the ordinary Machines hitherto in use for the same purpose. 2nd. The great reduction in the number of wearing parts. In these Improved Machines more than one-half the spindles, pulleys, bearings, and driving belts required for the ordinary Machines are dispensed with.

3rd. The novel arrangement by which the Dressing Apparatus is instantly varied, while the Machine is at work, to suit all kinds and conditions of grain.

4th. The very important saving in the cost of keeping the Machines in working order, consequent on the great reduction in the number of wearing parts.

N.B.-Catalogues in English, French, or German can be obtained FREE, on application being made to R. G. & SONS, at LEISTON WORKS, SAXMUNDHAM, SUFFOLK.
