The resulting acetylene gives a pure white light without any noxious fumes, and the abstrac- tion of oxygen from the air is, light for light, far less than with ordinary coal gas. A theoretical saving in the quantity of gas used may be made by adopting the incandescent mantle; but the great point of acetylene lighting to the householder who is so fortunate as to possess a really old-fashioned country house, and wishes to have a style of lighting in keeping with an antique decorative scheme, is that it can be used in candle and lantern fittings with an open and suitably-shaped flame, giving a perfect illusive effect and at the same time a brilliant light. There is no way of attaining this very desirable end if the incandescent mantle is used. It sounds a modern note which, however well disguised, is bound to jar in such a decorative scheme as we have in mind. The accompanying illustrations of two charming fittings done in armour bright steel, to the designs of Sir Robert Lorimer, are a good example of what can be done in this respect. Though made for electric light instead of gas, they can be readily adapted for the latter, and a tube run through the chain of the pendant. When all these points are given due weight, and maintenance of mantles taken into consideration, and also the fact that any form of gas used in a mantle cannot be turned down, it will be seen that the economy of the mantle disappears in practice. ~The turning down of acetylene when not required has been solved by at least one large firm of acetylene plant manufacturers, who have devised a bye-pass arrangement that can be fitted near the door. This controls all the lights in the room, so that they cna be turned down when not wanted and turned on immediately they are required. A new type of burner, designed not to carbonise when turned down, has been on the market for some time. A further source of economy, due to the absence of mantles, can be made use of in the ease with which it is possible to fix a burner to give exactly the amount of light required in any given situation. The lighting of small lavatories, landings, etc., can often be quite efficiently done with five candle- power, whereas the smallest mantle generally used gives twenty-five candle-power, and uses a corresponding amount of gas. The simplicity of the apparatus used for generating acetylene is such that it can be worked with safety by the most unskilled of attendants. This is, of course, a great advantage in the smaller country house where one or two servants only are kept, and where it is impossible, therefore, that any great amount of time can be spent in attending to the lighting plant Half-an-hour is ample to allow for recharging a generator of modern design, and it should be ciearly understood that this is not a matter of daily occurrence. One charge a week will often be found sufficient during the summer months, if a generator of ample capacity has been chosen. The plans illustrated are those already used as exemplars in the previous chapters on electric and air-gas lighting. The following is an estimate of what it S DRESSING Ben Room Room - x X I47.—FIRST FLOOR PLAN. I48.-—A CHANDELIER IN STEEL.
