We think there is a slight analysis be-

OLIVER WHITTLEsEY,


nEALER in Paints, OILS, Glass, &C., G. street,
~ Todds Buildings, Washington, ID. c., has just
received from the original inventors and sole manu-.
facturefs, large supply of the genuine
Doric Lamp.
This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily
trimmed, and will give light equal TO twenty
sperm candles, al a cost Of one cent an hour.
Its superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there is no brass other metal
that corrodes which comes in contact with the fluid
the external and internal draughts pass through
the body Of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. 1t
can be used with open doors and will be less affect
ed by wind currents Of air than any other lamp.
Also, other improved Pine Oil Lamps, Hall
Lamps and Lanterns, and dealer in Astral and So

which are offered al wholesale and retail, at the

~. B.--Duections TO be obserped IN using the
PINE OIL LAMPS.
In trimming the Doric Lamp the chimney is first
removed and the Lamp taken out OF the ring, the
button and cone must be next taken off, and the
cone may be used for stand to set the lamp on
while trimming-after which the wick-hoder is
taken out and the wick raised above the tube suf-
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge, which
should he done with sharp pair of scissors--thc
wck-holder is then returned to its place, and the
wick should be perfectly even with tho top of the
tube-fill the Lamp, replace the cone and button,
and il is ready for use.
