Abstract
HAVING been experimenting for some years in the direction referred to by Dr. Siemens in NATURE, vol. xxiii. p. 25, I must beg to differ with him most seriously in some of his conclusions. The gas-fire with coke which he describes has, so far as our experience goes, several practical objections which prevent its use in the place of an ordinary gas fire, whilst when compared with a good coal fire it fails seriously.
