The gas meter is regarded as one of the most accurate measur­ ing instrum ents in use today. Like the registering turnstile in parks, rail­ road stations and fair grounds, the m eter will not operate unless some­ thing passes through it The mechan­ ism is not set in motion and the in­ dicator hands cannot move except as gas passes through and makes them move. It is rather interesting to know that the original mechanical principles adopted in 1844 for the cor­ rect measurement of gas still persist and that while hundreds of inventors have endeavored to discover some­ thing better, they have improved up­ on details only. , Please come in and pay your obli­ gations to The Advocate.
