  We report the detection of differential gas column densities in three
gravitational lenses, MG0414+0534, HE1104-1805, and PKS1830-211. Combined with
the previous differential column density measurements in B1600+434 and
Q2237+0305 and the differential extinction measurements of these lenses, we
probe the dust-to-gas ratio of a small sample of cosmologically distant normal
galaxies. We obtain an average dust-to-gas ratio of E(B-V)/NH =(1.4\pm0.5) e-22
mag cm^2/atoms with an estimated intrinsic dispersion in the ratio of ~40%.
This average dust-to-gas ratio is consistent with the average Galactic value of
1.7e-22 mag cm^2/atoms and the estimated intrinsic dispersion is also
consistent with the 30% observed in the Galaxy.
