Water Gas.
It appears by the following, which we copy from the London Watchman of December 5, 1849, that Water Gas can be manufactured with advantage, and that the town of Stockport, is now lit up with Gas, manufactured from water, and which is furnished so cheap that it bids fair to furnish considerable revenue to the town:
The 'water gas,' invented by Mr. Stephen White, has been introduced into Stockport, with complete success; some six miles of piping are laid down, and the town has been lighted for about a fortnight. The gas is stated to be brilliant, while the price is such as, with an increase of consumption, will be a substantial income to the town.
