For THOSE Who BLOW OUT the GAS THE numerous accidents caused every year by "blowing out the gas" Inspired New York inventor to evolve practical method of preventing snch accidents. The accompanying . illustration shows ths invention applied to a drop ether end of which operates a valve In ths meterlike meter-like cylinder attached to the gaspipe. As long as the beat from the flame keeps the fan wheel and the little balls, which act like the governor of a steam engine, whirling, tha lever will keep the valve in the meter open, thus allow. Ing the gas to pass to the burner of the lamp. If the gas is blown out the wheel cesses its rotation, the end of the lever on the lamp side is depressed and its ether end doses the valve through which ths gas flows.

The operation of this safety device is described de-scribed in Popular Science Monthly as follows I While the gas is burning, the heat arising from tt erases a little fan wheel above the lamp to route. The two little balls attached to H by tiny chains are made to swing outward by centrifugal cen-trifugal fores, raising one end of a lever, the
