The Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and imme diate control over the heat, requires but little atten tion, is always ready, keeps the kitchen and house cool, and is only alight when actually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual at the present time ; for while coals have lately advanced in pries 50 per cent, Gab has bebn1 re duced to 12s 6d per 1000. • . . •" The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative cost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently lighted coal flre, and 'by a Gas Stove, and the time required in each case :— v (! i . .
