The death In this city of John Mo
Jlhenny brings up the history of zas?'
as the death of Cyrus Field made ev
eryone think of the ocean cable.* Mr.
Mcllhenny was the grand old ?>loneer
In gas. He saw it develop from its
early infanpy in America and saw tt
push the oil lamp off the table.
He beheld this same agency shove
anthracite out of over >40,009 cook
stoves in Philadelphia. Once I saw
this veteran sitting at dinner beside
I Samuel T. Bodine, president of the
world's most potential gas company.
"Glrard" writes tn the Philadelphia
Ledger.
| The first gas lamp hi any street la'
the world flashed out tn Pall Mall,
London, thq same year that Robert
Fulton took his fanious steamboat Up
the Hudson.
But it was many years after that be
fore gas became a common thing hi
London, although a few streets had
been so lighted..
