On the 11th ult. an invitation visit was paid by the members and friends of the Lantern Society to the works of Brin’s Oxygen Company, which was very much enjoyed. ‘he manager, Mr. K. 8. Murray, explained in detail the processes of manufacturing oxygen, and the plant used in doing this. The operations of compressing the gasses and filling cylinders were then shown, and the uses of oxygen for blow-pipe work, limelight, &c., practically demonstrated. After inspecting the annealing furnaces, laboratory, fitting shop, &c.,and the various sections of cylinders used, together with the valves, regulators, &c., generally supplied, Mr. Murray showed and explained the operation of cylinder testing, and went into the question of the precautions taken for the public safety in passing cylinders for commercial use. aS * WE have received a ae of complaint fone & lanternist who had a somewhat strange experience at the Bath Station of the Great Western Railway. His luggage was refused on the ground that it looked like lantern gear. On stating that this was precisely what it was, he was informed by the receiving porter that some passenger had had lantern gear damaged in transit, and had claimed compensation, and orders had been given that such should not be conveyed as passenger’s luggage. The legality of such a proceeding is perhaps questionable ; but, then, who would go to the expense of fighting the company to ascertain that? Travellers soon get to know, when they have the choice of two lines, which gives them the best treatment, and they generally book according.
