It is well known that the illuminating power of gas depends uponthe incandescence of particles of unconsumed carbon, and that if theseparticles be brought to complete combustion by the appropriate use ofair (atmospheric oxygen), the luminosity of the flame will be decreased,but its heating power will be intensified. A yellow carbonized flame,also known as oil flame, because resembling that produced by thecombustion of oil, is never well adapted for heating purposes, besides Fig. 48.
