"TO DE FOREWARNED IS TO ER
FOREARMED."
From Th.: Farmer of September 7.

The trade in lamps has within the last seventeen years
grown to enormous proportions. Prior tolls:17 lamps were
imported from Germany, but on a very ionallseale indeed;
and under the management of Mr. ltowatt, the Paraffin
Light Company made the first hoops in this country.
Since that time the Messrs. Rowatt & Non, long ago apart
from the Company, have never celaxed in their auras to
improve and perfect their designs, and to increase the
light-giving power at a minimum of cost. One of their
patents, the Anucapnic, is a simple yet ingenious
(simplicity is only obtained by ingenuity) invention fur
doing away with the nut too charming chimney, whose
frequent breakages, are the source of much expense. This
lamp has two domes instead of one, as in ordinary lamps,
and one dome enclores the other, a series of perforations
sibuitting the air at the bottom. The result is that while
one current rises directly to the burner, the other, passing
between the two surfaces of heated metal, joins the
central current, and the two currents acting together on
the Name, caused the combustion to be absolute, consume
the smoke, and wholly obviate the escape of any unlearnt
vapour front the oil. The Radiator laiup is another
ingenious adaptation of the saute principle Masers.
Rowatt have applied in the case of the Aniicappic, the
only iliffereare being that in the case of the Radiator the
wick is circular, and gives a circular flame like an Argand
burner. The flame is acted upon by a double dome, pro-
ducing two distinct currents of air, PA in the Anticapnie,
and a fiat bottom or deflector held In the centre of, anal
.just above the wick, spreads out the flame all round it.
'When this button gets to a white beat the light is
and when properly trimmed these lamps gives light equal
to twenty candles as sheen by the photometer. Both the
Anucapnic and the Radiator are very easily trimmed, and
simple in construction, and cannot get out of order. The
wick for the Radiator is put in at the bottom of the
burlier in a Hat state, and is gradually, as it is turned up,
formed into a circle, thus saving the immense amount of
trouble usually found in trimming lamps with circular
wicks. The results of some expenmenta carefully con-
ducted with the photometer upon Mr. Rowatt's lamps, we
found to be as follows :
No. 5 burner, 5 inch wick, gives 0 candlelight, burning }pint
