lamps was made until about 100 years ago,

ney was introduced and lighting by oil was
fully revolutionized. These two improve
meats multiplied light to be obtanei
from a lamp, and by producing a perfect
combustion Of the oil obviated the smoke
and bad odOrs previously inseparable from
the use of oil lamps. OtAer improvements
followed, one Of the most notable being the
placing of the reservoir of oil beloW the
burner instead of above, making the lamp
much more convenient This was q discor-
cry of Phillips Girarde, Frenchman, about

Another Frenchman, Carcel, contrived a
