"The new Prefect of the Seine has just definitely authorized the Company of Tessie, du Motay et Cie. to lay down their underground lines in Paris for lighting it with oxygen gas.
"A network of pipes will extend from Pantin to the Boulevards, and in a few months all the dwellings between the new Opera House and the Passage Jouffroy will be able to profit by the immense advantages which this means of illumination offers over ordinary gas. Already the oxy-hydrogen burners have been erected at the entrance to the European Bazaar, near the Passage Jouffroy, which give out a light so purely white and of such extraordinary brilliancy that the old gas looks singularly pale and yellow by the side of them.
"We cannot but congratulate the Prefect of the Seine upon having ratified a measure so adapted to the general interest, and which seems to us the indispensable corollary to the great public enterprises undertaken during the last few years in Paris."
