Then the burner is put on tho test-meter and an obsorvation of une minute is taken ta determine the amount of mts cun- sumed in an hour. Tho burner on the text-meter Js supposed to be tho Bame us the burner on the strevt-lamp, THY MACHINERY by which those tests are mute is quite compll- cited, and of eo delicate a nuture that a portion of ithas to bo kept i an alr-tight room, with no means of ventilation or light. except what is re~ quired in making the teats, ‘This room fs 8 small upartinent off the Inspector's office, and Is de- yoted to the exclusive se of the Hunsen pho- tometer and ita aimple but delicutely-construct- ed muchinery. This is the standard muchine throughout the world for Hauanrinng gt, and by it all new inventions in this line are proved, ‘This muchinu: consists of a stand supporting a bar of woot 10 inches long. upon which are marked division lines showing the spaces representing «ral, The standard of Wyght {4140 grains per hour.

Tho register on tho bar represents the exact candle-power of tho gas-hurner by grains.. After tho experi- ment hus been mde, the candle fs tuken out and welghed, the light being oxtingulsted.
