Few hints VIII demonstrate its to all other
parlor or Office stoves, throwing new light upon a
heretofore dark subject.
The theory of Base Burning has long been known
among philosophers and scientific men "a the only
correct way TO burn coal aud TO consume all the
smoke and cases. The Base Burner ia peculiarly
constructed, differing entirely rom the ordinary
stove. In the common stove, when coal is thrown
in the entire body ignltes in short time. In the
Base Burner only portion OF the coal igntes con-
sequenty, shou the stove be left with the raft all
on, the fuel cannot be all gnited but Will burn with
bright flame until It is gradually and thoroughly
consumed. 1t is In fact, A PERFECT BASE BURSRR

The wonder OF this wondrous age.

Nor Cy clops vii h his single one
Ills free from all annoy ing dust
IT'S free from deeteriOus gas
IT'S free from smoke and from
