{Gas fitter}, one who lays pipes and puts up fixtures for gas. {Gas fitting}. (a) The occupation of a gas fitter. (b) pl. The appliances needed for the introduction of gas into a building, as meters, pipes, burners, etc. {Gas fixture}, a device for conveying illuminating or combustible gas from the pipe to the gas-burner, consisting of an appendage of cast, wrought, or drawn metal, with tubes upon which the burners, keys, etc., are adjusted. {Gas generator}, an apparatus in which gas is evolved; as: (a) a retort in which volatile hydrocarbons are evolved by heat; (b) a machine in which air is saturated with the vapor of liquid hydrocarbon; a carburetor; (c) a machine for the production of carbonic acid gas, for a[89]rating water, bread, etc. --Knight. {Gas jet}, a flame of illuminating gas. {Gas machine}, an apparatus for carbureting air for use as illuminating gas. {Gas meter}, an instrument for recording the quantity of gas consumed in a given time, at a particular place. {Gas retort}, a retort which contains the coal and other materials, and in which the gas is generated, in the manufacture of gas. {Gas stove}, a stove for cooking or other purposes, heated by gas. {Gas tar}, coal tar. {Gas trap}, a drain trap; a sewer trap. See 4th {Trap}, 5. {Gas washer} (Gas Works), an apparatus within which gas from the condenser is brought in contact with a falling stream of water, to precipitate the tar remaining in it. --Knight. {Gas water}, water through which gas has been passed for purification; -- called also {gas liquor} and {ammoniacal water}, and used for the manufacture of sal ammoniac, carbonate of ammonia, and Prussian blue. --Tomlinson. {Gas well}, a deep boring, from which natural gas is discharged. --Raymond. {Gas works}, a manufactory of gas, with all the machinery and appurtenances; a place where gas is generated for lighting cities. {Laughing gas}. See under {Laughing}. {Marsh gas} (Chem.), a light, combustible, gaseous hydrocarbon, {CH4}, produced artificially by the dry distillation of many organic substances, and occurring as a natural product of decomposition in stagnant pools, whence its name. It is an abundant ingredient of ordinary illuminating gas, and is the first member of the paraffin series. Called also {methane}, and in coal mines, {fire damp}. {Natural gas}, gas obtained from wells, etc., in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and elsewhere, and largely used for fuel and illuminating purposes. It is chiefly derived from the Coal Measures. {Olefiant gas} (Chem.). See {Ethylene}. {Water gas} (Chem.), a kind of gas made by forcing steam over glowing coals, whereby there results a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This gives a gas of intense heating power, but destitute of light-giving properties, and which is charged by passing through some volatile hydrocarbon, as gasoline. | |

Logarithm \Log"a*rithm\ (l[ocr]g"[adot]*r[icr][th]'m), n. [Gr. lo`gos word, account, proportion + 'ariqmo`s number: cf. F. logarithme.] (Math.) One of a class of auxiliary numbers, devised by John Napier, of Merchiston, Scotland (1550-1617), to abridge arithmetical calculations, by the use of addition and subtraction in place of multiplication and division. Note: The relation of logarithms to common numbers is that of numbers in an arithmetical series to corresponding numbers in a geometrical series, so that sums and differences of the former indicate respectively products and quotients of the latter; thus, 0 1 2 3 4 Indices or logarithms 1 10 100 1000 10,000 Numbers in geometrical progression Hence, the logarithm of any given number is the exponent of a power to which another given invariable number, called the base, must be raised in order to produce that given number. Thus, let 10 be the base, then 2 is the logarithm of 100, because 10^{2} = 100, and 3 is the logarithm of 1,000, because 10^{3} = 1,000. {Arithmetical complement of a logarithm}, the difference between a logarithm and the number ten. {Binary logarithms}. See under {Binary}. {Common logarithms}, or {Brigg's logarithms}, logarithms of which the base is 10; -- so called from Henry Briggs, who invented them. {Gauss's logarithms}, tables of logarithms constructed for facilitating the operation of finding the logarithm of the sum of difference of two quantities from the logarithms of the quantities, one entry of those tables and two additions or subtractions answering the purpose of three entries of the common tables and one addition or subtraction. They were suggested by the celebrated German mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss (died in 1855), and are of great service in many astronomical computations. {Hyperbolic, [or] Napierian}, {logarithms} | |

d8Springbok \[d8]Spring"bok`\, Springbuck \Spring"buck`\, n. [D. springbok; springen to spring, leap + bok a he-goat, buck.] (Zo[94]l.) A South African gazelle ({Gazella euchore}) noted for its graceful form and swiftness, and for its peculiar habit of springing lighty and suddenly into the air. It has a white dorsal stripe, expanding into a broad patch of white on the rump and tail. Called also {springer}. [Written also {springboc}, and {springbock}.] | |
