EVr PORTABLE G-A9 RAILWAY LAMP.—An im-
portant railway lamp of this character has been tested, during the last few days uon the Northern and Eastern
and Lover Railways, and promises to prove of the
treatest utility, both as a locomotive and station lamp.
gig Ile material burnt is coal tar or mineral naptha, and the
'it podud from a small thin copper retort,
O! burner, upon which the heat of the flame is partially
directed. The construction is very simple, and entirely
eovercomes the difficulties which have hitherto
xisted of lighting a pressure lamp, and of preventing flame being blown out by the pressure created by it.
Ahe principle of the lamp is that of lighting a jet of
v
4Pour by a jet of flame. In the lamp now before us
there are two jets ; one called the flame burner, the
other the vapour burner. Whets the lamp is lighted,
the gas
from the former issues with great force up a little shield
attached to the retort, and would blow itself out but for
Piece of wire which runs along the top of the shield,
by which its force is br, ken. The flame thus pro-
duced by the lower burner is of a reddish brown hue, and
likeity, but its unconsurned carbon is all taken up by the
gnititm of the gas issuing from the upper or vapour
burner. The jet is directed against the top of the shield,
4:/ as to throw the greatest possible amount of heat upon
bthe retort. By this simple means the combined flames
y be sabjeeted to a very great pressure without being
by
out, while, at the same time, the pressure created
g 1 their own heat is sufficient to produce a very bright
ainlts consumption is a pir.t naptha (2s. 6d. per
n) in about nine hours. The patentee of the lamp,
which) is being manufactured by Salt, of Birmingham, is
