Cooking With Acetylene.

Motorists on tours, whose cars are fitted with an acetylene gas tank for lighting, may now enjoy a well-cooked meal, while camping, without having to carry an alcohol stove or make a wood fire. . They simply take the new “hot plate" supplied by the same company that furnishes the gas tank, and —presto! a first-class gas stove is ready. As acetylene gas gives an intensely hot flame, the holes from which the gas Issues are very small and an hour’s cooking requires only three and one-half feet of gas, ’at an average cost of about ten cents an hour.
