Clair danced out from the closet with the cap on her own brows; and then with a caper of agility, taking it off, flung it up to the chandelier, where it hung on one of the burners. "For shame, Faustina, that's too bad. How can she get it?" said Miss Bentley. "I don't want her to get it," said the St. Clair coolly. "Then how can she go to walk?" "I don't want her to go to walk."
Dan Hesa, although younger than Howat, was already contracting for charcoal, a forward young German; and, Fanny had said with a giggle, he was paying her serious attention. Howat Penny had lately seen a new moroseness among the charcoal burners that could only have come from the association of the son of Gilbert Penny and the potential owner of Myrtle Forge with the founderman's daughter.
"They say that you are one of the Kansas jay-hawkers, and one of Jennison's house burners," replied the gentleman. "I am from Kansas that's true; and was a soldier and a scout in the Union army," said I; "and I was in Kansas during the border ruffian war of 1856. Perhaps these people know who I am, and that explains their hard looks."
The analyses also bring out very clearly the fact that, although the dilution of coal gas by air in atmospheric burners is sufficient to prevent the decomposition of the heavy hydrocarbons with liberation of carbon, and so destroy luminosity, yet the presence of the extra supply of oxygen does make the combustion far more perfect, so that the products of incomplete combustion are hardly to be found in the escaping gases.
Of the argand burners, Guise's shadowless argand has been considered the best, but of late years Sugg's Letheby burner has carried off the palm. Wood's burner has been a favorite, as, being a fishtail, it could be used with a short chimney, which gives the flame steadiness.
"Very clear, sir!" gulped Roger. Connel turned to Astro. "And you're the home-grown atomic-rocket genius, Venusian style, eh?" "Yes, sir," choked Astro. "I'm from Venus." "Bucked rockets on the old chemical burners as a kid before entering the Academy, eh?" asked Connel. There was less than an inch and a half between Astro's face and Major Connel's jaw.
With improvements in gas burners, we may expect to light rooms perfectly with a less expenditure of gas than we now do. But we cannot light a room without in some measure creating heat; and I think I have shown that we want this heat at the ceiling line for the greater part of the year.
It also increases, under favorable conditions, if the quantity of gas consumed by the burner in a certain period is augmented. As it is impossible to indefinitely increase the supply to ordinary burners, multiple-flame burners have been invented, in which two or more ordinary flames are united so that they may impinge upon each other.
Enamelling stoves may really be described as hot-air cupboards or ovens, and for a stove which will answer most requirements say one of 6 feet by 6 feet by 3-1/2 feet six rows of atmospheric burners will be necessary to heat it, while it will be also advisable to fix pipes of 1-1/4 inch internal diameter from the gas meter to the stove.
As soon as this layer of coal has begun to burn, add more until the fire is in good condition. GAS RANGES. A gas stove for cooking, or gas range, as it is frequently called, consists of an oven, a broiler, and several burners over which are plates to hold pans, pots, and kettles in which food is to be cooked.
