butes the delivery of the Gas in a manner to produce a very
great amount of light, as well as to effect a considerable
saving of gas, by preventing a large proportion of it from
being blown through partially consumed, and which partial
combustion is a double source of injury and annoyance—it
soils the ceiling and deteriorates the atmosphere."—l am,
